I really do think that we will take 3 points off of Stoke, and another 3 off of Bolton. In a couple of weeks we will find ourselves mid-table.
Winning those games will give our players a better mentality, it will breed confidence and will allow them to express themselves on the pitch which has been lacking since pre-season. These players have not turned bad overnight.
Yes we have tough games against Liverpool and Arsenal afterwards, but we showed against Chelsea that we can compete. I firmly believe that we will contest those games and the results will be tight. We are more than capable of taking points off them both.
It is still early doors, even though seven games in does sound a lot, but there are 31 games left (in theory 93 points left to play for), and who is to say that the club cannot go on a run to move up the table?
I simply refuse to believe that we are a poor team. I acknowledge that Ramos has not helped by rotating, changing formation etc. etc, but he needs to make his mind up and stick with the same team and the same formation for a few games and the results will pick up. If he doesn't, in my mind he is responsible for whatever happens at the end of this season, not Levy and not Commoli.
