It's not all bad...honestly

Some folk may think Ive gone bonkers but as a Liverpool supporter, there are some things to take comfort from. Whilst we may have conceded more than necessary, it is something to enjoy when we have the second highest number of clean sheets in the Premier League. Only Manchester City Some people may think so what, well clean sheets are always good and to have notched up 10 clean sheets in this seasons Premier League is no doubt a welcome sight to any Liverpool fan.

Home form is picking up once more. Whilst our overall record is W7 D3 L4 F27 A 12, our last 5 games at Anfield have seen a pleasing W5 D0 L1 F17 A2. Whilst it would be preferred to have a big fat 0 in that Losses section, our home form is second only to Man United and considering our total home Premier League record for last season was W6 D9 L 4 F24 A 16. 

Scoring was a problem for Liverpool last season and the club only managed to score 47 goals in the Premier League in 38 games. In the 2012-13 season Liverpool have already notched up 49. Whilst Brendan Rodgers has had his critics, he has certainly got his players scoring. If we could convert more of our chances we could be much higher than we are. People talk about how Liverpool are a mid table team. It is quite cheap and easy to make light of the situation.

Despite the fact that the club have been 'struggling' it would seem that unlike another team from North London who have had some trophy barren years (more than Liverpool) we not seen players desperate to leave. In fact even in the deep dark days of Hicks and Gillett, players were still committed to playing for the club and one of those players was Pepe Reina. This was at a time when the club was being ripped apart by two owners who barely spoke to each other. The only player to leave was Fernando Torres and it didn't do him much good. Rodgers £12 million gamble on Daniel Sturridge seems to be paying off so far with 4 goals in 5 Premier League games. 

I believe that the rest of the season will look promising as Liverpool put some results together. Whether they make the top 4 is another matter,but progress is promising. We can look forward to a summer with players making a departure and new players coming in. A tightening of defence and a creative midfielder and another striker and things could look promising for the following season.
