I dont know what to say to this. As a long-time Liverpool fan...you might hope or expect to challenge for the title, but you never pin your heart to winning it.
Chelsea are coming off a transfer ban...I wouldnt have expected anything from Chelsea this season. If their fans did, to me thats on them. Or at least temper expectations. Get into the CL or make Europa.
'Expect' is one thing, 'hope' is another.
I dont even think Liverpool fans 'expected' to win the title again this season. I certainly didnt/dont.
And frankly, I thought Lampard was a sacrificial lamb, much like OGS. Interim managers to steward their teams through rough patches and see how it goes. We did the same thing with Dalglish years back.
