2 wins and 2 defeats and we did not have a good start. The lose of Xabi affected the team and we have some problems in defending set pieces, with all 7 goals conceded from set pieces. Together with some players not performing, we find ourselves 6 points behind the leading teams. But this is still early in the season and we have enough games to catch up. But the margin of error is becoming smaller and we need to pick up as many points as we can.
Players of the Month (1) Johnson 7.25 (2) Gerrard 6.97 (3) Kuyt 6.89. Johnson had a flying start for us and have already scored two goal, created another and won us a penalty. His attacking instinct is really eye catching. Gerrard, despite not performing well, was still in the heart of the team and scored a late winner for us at Bolton. Kuyt is as usual a hard working and consistent player and had scored one and created another goal for us.
September prediction:
9/12 Burnley (h) Burnley can beat Manchester at home but their away form is not as good. We need to take our chances.
9/16 Debreceni VSC (h) It had been a long time since we play a Hungarian team, and we should have enough workforce to beat them.
9/19 West Ham United (a) West Ham had a indifference start but their home form was good. We need to be at our top to get 3 points.
9/23 Leeds United (a) A game for the youngsters to show what they can.
9/26 Hull City (h) Hull is strong at the start so we need to be alert of them especially the set pieces.
9/29 Fiorentina (a) A trip to Italy would not be easy, and we need to be patience.
