Our Recent Form

 

We desperately need to start showing consistency from now till the end of the season and with 14 points from a possible 18 some will say its returned but we all know how quickly we can lose it.

Its good form to take into the derby this weekend. We should now be heading into that game with our heads up and in a positive frame of mind.

I'd like to think we can continue on but I'm a realist and i know there will be more blips along the way.

Hopefully we can get Torres back ASAP and a return of form for Gerrard. With these two firing on all cylinders our push for 4th should be made more easier than it will be without them.

Huge next 3 weeks coming up. They will make or break our season.

10 point from those games (especially with a win at the emirates) and we could be looking at 3rd spot. Hope for 12 but realisically I'd settle for 8

Everton, Arsenal and City will be the tough games as for Blackburn it will be like playing Bolton again

Our current form is better than the arse as well. A top performance at the emirates would get us 3 points against a side lacking in a bit of confidence at the moment. I actually think the hardest game of the 4 is tomorrows against the blueshite. They are improving (unfortunately) and look a better side than the one that outplayed us at Goodison but still managed to lose. We've improved as well so it should be interesting. Their brand of "kick,bollock & bite" football isn't pretty but can be effective. I'll be a happy man if they play better than us and lose again. Nothing better than winding up the bitter blues than agreeing with lthem that they were the better team but then remind them that they lost!

Of course, I'd be even happier if we rip the back out of them and score 6.

17 points from 21 now


 
Yeah no doubt it will have been a disappointing season, but there's not a lot we can do about that so I prefer not to dwell on it. I am confident with the form we are now showing we will secure CL qualification, it's not ideal but it happens to the best of them - Chelsea finished third last year whilst Arsenal have been fourth more often than not in recent years. Personally I don't believe any of the 'big four' should get too up in arms about finishing fourth once, the quality they're up against means it's always a possibility. We just have to move on from it and do a better job next season. If we see similar form then that is the time I think real questions will need to be asked of Rafa, but not before.
 
I can't really say I've seen any 'worrying signs' this season though tbh. Plenty of crap performances but nothing to convince me there's a long term problem.
