3W 1D 2L and we won the most important game in the FA Cup semi-final, but the performance is once again inconsistency. With two goalkeepers sent off, Brad Jones had become the unlucky hero in keeping the goal. The strikers were also on fire especially Suarez scored 5 goals in the month. Going into May we will have 4 important games, with the FA Cup final that we are all looking for to make the season a memorable one.
Players of the month: (1) Suarez 7.28 (2) Shelvey 6.93 (3) Carroll 6.66. With 5 goals scored and a superb hat trick, Suarez's form is superb going into the FA Cup Final. Shelvey did very well in the month and would be fighting for a spot in the first team. Carroll's confidence is also back with two nice header scored.
May prediction:
5/1 Fulham (h) A game for the players to grab the FA Cup spots.
5/5 Chelsea (n) Bring us the glory.
5/8 Chelsea (h) We also need to win the game if we want to overtake Everton.
5/13 Swansea City (a) A nice place to visit to end the season.

March Month Review
2W 4L and no matter how optimistic you are, this is a very poor month. We are still at 7th place but is now 13 points behind 4th place with only 8 games to go. In fact we are only 3 points ahead of 11th place Norwich City. And with only 8 points from the league since the start of the year, I really don't know what we can do to resurrect the season. Maybe we should give the youngsters more chances as they would be more eager to show us how well they can be done.
Players of the month: (1) Gerrard 7.54 (2) Spearing 7.083 (3) Suarez 7.076. The Captain is back with a superb hat trick in the derby game, although he himself along could not lift us every game. Spearing has also grown more mature and is one of the constant good performer of the team. And Suarez, with 2 goals and 2 assists but still he needs to improve on the linkage with teammates.
April prediction:
4/1 Newcastle United (a) A defeat and we should target to finish 10 ten only.
4/7 Aston Villa (h) Villa's form is as worse as us, so this is a game to get some points.
4/10 Blackburn Rovers (a) Blackburn are fighting for survival and you would expect them to have more hunger to win the game than us.
4/14 Everton/Sunderland (n) Yes we visit Wembley again, and make sure we will visit Wembley a third time this season.
4/22 West Bromwich Albion (h) First time Hodgson is back after he was sacked, but we seems to be worse than when he left...
4/28 Norwich City (a) By the time we face them we may be trailing with them...
TBC Fulham (h) Fulham is a consistent team and they could be more eager to win than us.

February Month Review
1W2D1L and we are further down in 7th place, 7 points behind 4th place with 1 game in hand.but still in both Cups. We only get 1 points from 2 tough league games, but we did well in the FA Cup and also beat Cardiff City in the League Cup with a bit of luck. The coming months would be busy and we still have a chance to get the 4th place spot.
Players of the month: (1) Skrtel 7.27 (2) Carroll 7.1747 (3) Agger 7.169. Skrtel defended brilliantly and scored 2 great goals in the Cup games. Carroll starts to play well for the team highlighted with a Man of the Match performance vs Brighton. Agger also defended well and we hope he will get well soon.
March prediction:
3/3 Arsenal (h) Gooner has been revived recently but if we want to finish 4th place, this is a must win game.
3/10 Sunderland (a) Sunderland's good run has finally slow down a bit so it is up to us to beat them.
3/13 Everton (h) Toffee seems to be revived a bit recently so it will not be an easy game.
3/17 Stoke City (h) We could not tear them down in the league but in the Cup it will be a difference story.
3/21 Queen's Park Rangers (a) QPR would still fight for their safety and it would not be an easy game.
3/24 Wigan Athletic (h) Wigan seems likely to go down this season and we need to show no mercy and get the points.

January Month Report
4W2D2L and we are still in 6th place, but still in both Cups. The month started badly with a defeat away
at City, but then we bounced back and beat them in 2 legs in the League. The league result was not good as we only get 4 out of a possible 12, but with Suarez back we will improve a lot for February, especially when there are many big games coming up.
Players of the month: (1) Bellamy 7.59 (2) Gerrard 6.97 (3) Skrtel 6.93. Bellamy finally get more games and he never disappoint us. With Gerrard back we will have more options. And Skrtel was as usual reliable at the back.
February prediction:
2/6 Tottenham Hotspur (h) Spur is very tough to beat so this is a big challenge for us.
2/11 Manchester United (a) Another tough game and we need to be at 100% if we want to help the City.
2/19 Brighton & Hove Albion (h) Brighton may be at Championship only but they have beaten Newcastle to arrive to the 5th round, so no complacency.
2/26 Cardiff City (n) Yes we are going to Wem-bee-lee! Let's make sure we will do well and bring the League Cup home.

November Month Report
2W2D and we are on a 11 game unbeaten streak since mid September. The month started with a disappointing draw at home vs newcomer Swansea, but after the international break we steer up a gear and beaten Chelsea twice, with a good draw vs the leader. The team is finding some momentum, but as Lucas is injured, the other midfielders need to steer up and win the games for him.
Players of the month: Reina/Agger/Lucas 7.5 All three of them played really well in the month and are deserved winners. It is also worth noting that Bellamy also did very well in the month whenever he is called upon with 3 assists.
December prediction:
12/5 Fulham (a) Another west London game and we need to take 3 points home.
12/10 Queen's Park Rangers (h) Another home game against newcomer and we need to make sure we did well to get 3 points.
12/18 Aston Villa (a) A tough away game but we should have enough power to win it.
12/21 Wigan Athletic (a) Wigan is in trouble so we need to take our chance well.
12/26 Blackburn Rovers (h) Blackburn is at the bottom of the league but still we should avoid any post Christmas tiredness.
12/30 Newcastle United (h) The Mappies are the surprise package this year, so we need to be careful about them.

September Month Report
2W2L and we suffered our first dip of the season. The month started with 2 defeats at Stoke (undeserved) and Spur (well deserved), and then we rebounded by winning at Brighton and vs Wolves, although not too convincing.

Players of the month (1) Suarez 7.18 (2) Lucas 6.88 (3) Enrique 6.83. Suarez once again lead the team with one fine goal scored vs Wolves. Lucas have become our Mr Consistency and featured well in all our league games. And Enrique's crossing has become a great asset to us.
October prediction:
10/1 Everton (a) Derby will be tough and we need a good mentality to win it.
10/15 Manchester United (h) We need to win to close the gap.
10/22 Norwich City (h) Norwich did well in the first 2 months and this will not be a pushover game.
10/25 Stoke City (a) Once again, Britannia Stadium is a difficult place to visit and we need a revenge.
10/29 West Bromwich Albion (a) Playing against Mr Hodgson's team and we need to find a way to break them down.

May Month Report
2W2L and we failed in our attempt to chase for the Europa spot. The monthly started brightly with 2 impressive wins over Newcastle and Fulham. In the 5th place decider, however, we did not play well and a certain World Cup and Champions League Final referee made some school boy error that ensure we lose the 5th place.
Players of the Month (1) Suarez 7.69 (2) Meireles 7.39 (3) Maxi 7.35. Suarez scored two goals and was as usual making crazy runs all the time. Meireles' form improved a lot and has his best month with us. And with 4 goals from Maxi, he is making a claim in next year's lineup.

November Month Report
3W1D2L and we are gradually pickup up ourselves. We started the month well with 2 games at home vs Napoli and Chelsea, but the results away from home are still poor as we lost 5 points at Wigan and Stoke. Another home win comes, but then we lost to Spurs by a last minute goal. Clearly we need to improve away from home, especially we now lost two key players in Carra and Gerrard.
Players of the month (1) Reina 7.0 (2) Kuyt 6.993 (3) Meireles 6.988. Reina was as usual very solid. And we need him to be even better in the coming month as our captain. Kuyt did very well back from injury, with an superb assit to Torres in the Chelsea game, and scored a penalty against West Ham. Meireles gradually shows us what he can do and did very well especially from the middle.
December Prediction:
12/2 Steaua Bucharest (a) A draw will see us through.
12/6 Aston Villa (h) Welcome back, Houllier.
12/11 Newcastle United (a) A tough away game for us.
12/15 Utrecht (h) Let the youngsters shine.
12/18 Fulham (h) Fulham will be eager to beat RH so we need to be careful.
12/26 Blackpool (a) We need to do a revenge on that shameful defeat at Anfield.
12/29 Wolverhampton Wanderers (h) A win to wrap up the miserable 2010 should be fine, but we need to work very hard to achieve it.

October Month Report
2W1D2L and the season seems to have started to back on track. We started the month with the old owner and then ended with a new owner. 2 league defeats have sent us to 18th place, but then we win 2 league games in a row and are now up to 13th, although we should still be at a much higher position. But with the current manager, we really have no aspiration to challenge top 4 or top 6.
Players of the month (1) Reina 6.90 (2) Kyrgiakos 6.83 (3) Gerrard 6.75. Reina as usual performed very good over the month, and Kyrgiakos finally shows the world his capability, with 2 goals scored and was solid at the back. Despite the problem with the team Stevie G still drive the team forward as hard as he can.
November Prediction:
11/4 Napoli (h) Win this game and we will be one leg qualified.
11/7 Chelsea (h) A very tough game vs the Champions.
11/10 Wigan Athletic (a) We need to pick up points away at tough opponents.
11/13 Stoke City (a) Another tough and physical game underway.
11/20 West Ham United (h) We should beat Hammers at home.
11/28 Tottenham Hotspur (a) Another tough away game.

September Month Report
1W4D1L and we are unable to win in the league and are already out of League Cup. Hodgson seems to be unable to do anything to inspire the team and with October coming, it will be a crucial time for the club, both on the pitch and off the pitch. We need to start winning and get ourselves some momentum.
Players of the month (1) Reina 7.0 (2) Carragher 6.63 (3) Meireles 6.62. Reina is solid in general over the month. Carra is as usual solid at the back, and Meireles did OK for his first month with the club.
October Prediction:
10/3 Blackpool (h) Blackpool is going strong so we need to play better if we want to get 3 points.
10/17 Everton (a) Derby game but both teams are not doing well...
10/21 Napoli (a) A win at Italy would mean we get closer to qualification.
10/24 Blackburn Rovers (h) Home in is needed to shut Big Sam's month.
10/31 Bolton Wanderers (a) Another physical game to test the players's strength.

July/August Month Report
5W1D1L but we are not having a good start in the league, and are already 5 points behind the leader. We did reasonably well in Europa and will be in the group stage. Despite playing for more than 1 month now we are still unable to play consistently in 90 minutes. More works need to be done by Roy and there could be one or two signings to be coming.
Players of the Month: (1) Carragher 7.08 (2) Ngog 7.07 (3) Reina 6.90. Despite one year older Carragher was as consistent as ever and have many good performance during the month. Ngog also shows he is capable as a deputy to Torres and scored 4 goals in the month. And despite a setback vs Arsenal Reina recovered and were solid between the goal post.
September Prediction:
9/12 Birmingham City (a) We did not win quite often at St Andrew's under Rafa and it is now time for a change.
9/16 Steaua Bucharest (h) Start of Europa Group stage and the kids will have a go.
9/19 Manchester United (a) Toughest match of the year and we need to gear up.
9/22 Northampton (h) Another chance for the kids to perform,
9/25 Sunderland (h) Black cats did not have a good start but we still need to perform to bring three points home.
9/30 Ultrecht (a) Kuyt comes home.

May Month Report
1D1L and this is how we ended this miserable season. With nothing to fight for it is really difficult to raise the team. Chelsea was really better than us and we have no comment to lose to them, but we failed to take any chances and can only managed a draw with relegated Hull City. And so, 2009/10 season finally come to an end, and more uncertainly is ahead of us.
Players of the month (1) Reina 7.75 (2) Mascherano 7.25 (3) Lucas 7.00. Reina worked very hard and were worthy Golden Glove winner. Mascherano did very well in the right back position, and Lucas were very solid in protecting the back 4.
