It started so bright, but ended so sad. We won the first 2 matches in style, at Charlton we won by coming from behind, courtesy of goals from Riise and Nando, his first for us. We then win comfortably vs Fulham, but then lost 0-2 at Birmingham, with the whole team disappointed. After that we come back by beating Leverkusen convincingly, but then lost to Chelsea in a very poor way.
Looking back, the old consistency still exist. How can Rafa solve it? I really don't know. And we have 3 crucial league games in March, and they will shape our season, and whether Stevie G is staying or not.
Players of the month (1) Carragher 7.00 (2) Riise 6.90 (3) Garcia/Morientes 6.75. Carra is probably our only player who can leave Cardiff proudly, and Riise's goals are really nice to watch. Garcia had 2 assist and 1 goal, and he is showing signs of his real quality. And Nando opened his account with 2 nice goals, and it is a pity he is cup-tied in the Champions League.
Time is running out. We need to win the next 3 league games if we really want to catch up Everton. Simple as this.
March Prediction:
3/5 Newcastle United (A) A very tough away game as Newcastle is on the high. But didn't I say the same thing last month before the Charlton game? We can do it.
3/9 Bayer 04 Leverkusen (A) A draw or even 1 goal defeat is enough, but it's better to win it. Defense display is the key. And an early goal from Stevie G will settle it.
3/16 Blackburn Rovers (H) We should win this game.
3/20 Everton (H) Of the 3 league games this is the most important. Definitely need to win.
