This is one of those rare, fleeting moments in a Liverpool supporter’s life when everything seems too quiet. The team appears to be headed in the right direction, everything is rather stable, and the roller coaster has reached a level section of the track.
The judgments made by the referees since the international break have favored us. It’s quiet even among the FSGOut loons. It cannot go on.
However, even the frenzied expectation feels manageable for the time being. There’s a feeling that the team is just missing a few members to complete the picture. Some of those players may even already be at Anfield. It’s feasible to have a legitimate championship challenge, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
The run of games leading up to the upcoming international break is as winnable as it gets. The other teams thought to be in the top four—Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Newcastle—all have difficult games coming up where they could make mistakes. If Liverpool fails to secure a complete load of points by mid-November, it would be quite disheartening.
