Jeez! Don't you ever stop getting off about the 'great start' to last season under your hero the FSW?
We got points, but played absolute crap for the most of the first four games and somehow managed to scab 10 points. Then reality set in and we got, what was it, something like 9 points from the next 45 played for. Bounced out of the Cups far too easily. All under the heroic Benitez.
Forget the 'good start' of last season and look at reality instead. This club has been in a tail spin since Calos knew he was off to Madrid in the January 21. The 'great start' of the 21/22 soon burnt out and the re-building of confidence did not take place until that oaf was bulleted. Though you insist on clinging to some unfathomable notion that Benitez was a messiah. Tell me again, how did we do after the 'great start'? We did not do too well, did we.
Now I am not a huge Lampard fan, but I accept we are seeing more desire and a fitter team than for the ENTIRE reign of Benitez. Something I fear you cannot. A non-medically induced form of scotoma.
