We are playing well over the last month, by and large.
The balance of the team is much better, we are defending well, conceding few chances. Just need to improve the finishing, that goes for the whole team, not just a striker. It's not always the finish either, we make the wrong decisions constantly in good positions that could lead to a clear chance.
I still think Rodgers made a bit of a balls up of the first half of the season, and we could have been better than we were, but he has got some money back in the bank with the turnaround.
Can is a brilliant signing, tank of a player with a good attitude and temperament. Markovic is showing signs of what he can do, but still needs to do more (though he isn't really a wing back to be fair).
Mignolet and Coutinho have improved immeasurably after ropey first halves of the season.
I believe we will struggle for top 4 because of the weight of fixtures and the number of tough games we have left, but I still think we can win a trophy, hopefully the Europa League.
The season is on a knife edge though. A bad month in February and our season will be over.
My main concern with Brendan is fairly well documented (although I feel that the board are culpable).
I'm not sure he can attract top talent. My mate, some what facetiously, mentioned that he can't keep it either.
I don't see much wrong that a Sanchez, Hazard, Di Maria or Aguero wouldn't fix.
As it stands that's the difference but we're good to watch again and that is what football is about at the end of the day - entertainment.

That's why I think winning the Europa would be huge.
Kills several birds with one stone: 1) Gets us in the CL through the back door. 2) Gives us mega coefficient points and cash 3) Improves our stature in the eyes of players.
Joining a young squad who are Europa League winners is better than joining a young squad who finished 4th.
I was impressed with Can, tidy player and a better athlete than I realised.
