4W1D3L and it was not a good month for us as we lost 8 points in the league and are 1 down in the Champions League. The month started poorly with 1 point from 3 league games, and then we gradually improved by beating Wigan, Arsenal and Man United. Then we have a blip in conceding a late goal at Benfica, but then we bounced back and beat Manchester City.
The main problem is still the lack of goals. We scored 5 goals only in the month (which contributes to the 4 wins and 1 draw). Rafa need to find a way to flood the goals.
Players of the Month: (1) Gerrard 7.0 (2) Carragher/Hamann 6.6 (3) Hyypia 6.5. Stevie G is still the engine of the team and we lost both matches he didn't play. Carragher is as usual rock solid at the back. With the injury to Sissoko Hamann's role becomes more important and it is nice to see him preserved and performed to his best level. Hyypia scored a great goal at Wigan and we would of course love to see more.
March Prediction:
3/4 Charlton Athletic (h): Last time we didn't play well and this is now the time to get a result.
3/8 Benfica (h): We need to beat them by 2 clear goals. Remember Olympiakos?
3/12 Arsenal (a): This is a tricky game and we are not good traveller to London. But we will change the habit here.
3/15 Fulham (h): Same as the Charlton game we need to get a result.
3/19 Newcastle United (a): Anoter tricky game, Owen may be back in this game but still we would win it.
3/22 Birmingham City (a): 5th time lucky for Rafa.
3/25 Everton (h): The players need to be alert as this will be a very physical game.
3/29 Champions League Quarter FInal, 1st leg: If we pass through Benfica we will not fear any opponent.
