4W2L with all 4 wins were in the League and we lost both FA Cup and League Cup to Arsenal. It is now too early to call, but it may be a blessing in disguise as it ease up our schedule (look at Arsenal) and we may yet try once more to overtake Chelsea and to challenge the impossible dream. As Rafa said we will just keep winning and see how far we can go. And there are a few hurdles in February that we need to overtake first. Sissoko and Zenden are already back so will provide some cover to the team. Rafa will have the luxury to worry who to choose from.
Players of the Month (1) Kuyt 8.01 (2) Crouch 7.65 (3) Pennant 7.52. 4 goals in January from the hard working Kuyt brought him another top spot in the month. Crouch also did well and also scored 4. For Pennant, he scored a superb goal against Chelsea, and has been lively in other games as well.
February Prediction:
2/3 Everton (h) We need to get a revenge after the humiliation in September.
2/10 Newcastle United (a) Rafa probably won't play 3-4-3 but could play 3-5-2.
2/21 Barcelona (a) A very difficult game, but Rafa has extensive knowledge in Spanish football and will have us well prepared.
2/24 Sheffield United (h) We lost 2 points at their venue, and we need to get 3 at home.
