Yep we are certainly not moving out of first gear at the moment. Yet we have 3 wins under our belts and for the time being I am quite happy with that. Need to remember that Gerrard has been playing with an injury that needs surgery.The Spanish lads only re joined the squad 2 weeks before the start of the season having had very little rest. Babel, Mascherano and Lucas have all been in China, so to say we have had a weakened squad is an understatment. We certainly lacked width last night, but have been linked with Riera. Is this likely to solve our problems.... (?) No excuses - we need to improve, but I think when other big teams scrape a result it's labelled as the stuff of Champions. When we do it, we are lucky. :-S Roll on Sunday - I will certainlty be glad to have Mascher back in the team and I aslo think that El Zhar may begin to be used a bit more. He was terrific on Saturday and last night.
