Thought I'd start this thread with a reply I wrote to a Ramos thread
This season is starting to feel despairingly like the beginning of last season. A huge amount of new players and beginning of the season optimism. Bad results and no grit or determination being shown.
The level headed fans (like me) keep thinking one or two good results and we'll be halfway up the table and then we'll forget about this slow start. Unfortunately the slow start keeps on continuing and worse than that the team isn't showing any real sign that things are going to get better soon.
We start to question the manager and as a club we're dying for stability so we need to believe Ramos is the right man for the job although there is nothing so far to show that he is, we just have to hope he is.
At the moment i'm clinging onto the hope Ramos will parallell Benitez. Confusing tactics and constant rotation meaning we don't achieve what we demand in the league but massive cup success comes at the end of the season to make sure we finish the season on a happy note.
We seem to start each season talking about our hopes of finishing top four and continuously find ourselves disappointed whether we just miss out or find ourselves nowhere near. I for one am not as obsessed as most with the Champions League. I'd much rather see my team lift a trophy. No doubt though I'd like to see us playing with flair and passion though which we aren't seeing enough of so far this season.
