Then be positive and aim for 1st
It's better to be realistic than only optimistic. Liverpool has traditionally not been good in away matches, and in the remainder of the year, half the matches are away matches. You can't expect them to win em all.
I still believe mid-season would be a better time to judge the situation, considering we would know their placing in the table, and if a new manager is coming in or not (I'm personally not too fussed about that. Even though Roy doesn't look passionate enough, give him some time). Also, we should keep an eye on the transfers.
