3 wins 1 draw and 3 defeats. We started the month still in a poor form with a draw at Blackburn and then defeats by Fiorentina and Arsenal. We thought a home victory vs Wigan may have turned our luck, but a defeat at lowly Pompey had everybody questioning the team. Luckily we finished the month strongly with successive wins against Wolves and Aston Villa. We are still lying at 7th place, but our confidence is now better and we can go into the new year strongly to challenge the top 4 spots.
Players of the Month (1) Gerrard 7.14 (2) Reina 7.08 (3) Carragher 6.92. Stevie G is getting closer to his top form and is always carrying the team through the hard time. Reina has been one of the better players this month with another consistent month, and Carragher is also getting better despite early setbacks.
January prediction:
1/2 Reading (a) A chance for some second tier players to shine.
1/10 Tottenham Hotspur (h) We lost to Spurs on the opening day and this is another important match in the race for top 4 spot.
1/16 Stoke City (a) Last year we failed to break down their stubborn defense and this year we need to find some way to bring 3 points home.
1/23 FA Cup 4th round proper (TBA) No matter who we will play we need to play well to go through.
1/26 Wolverhampton Wanderers (a) They may still be complaining about the Ward sent off so we need to be careful.
1/30 Bolton Wanderers (h) Bolton will have a new manager installed so we need to make sure they won't have the additional adrenaline to please the new man.
