December – a good haul

I have been looking at it a different way, We only dropped points against Man Utd (surprise, surprise) Which was expected so that game doesnt even count for me. That leaves Arsenal we gave 3 points to. Cracking christmas period, And agreed, Thre is a lot of bottle being shown lately. Take out Caldwell’s red card and even he is sticking in some hard performances, The new formation certainly suits him. Still not good enough like, By a long way but much much better. Gomez has for me been the outfield player of the month. His passing has improved, Still wins free kicks and frustrates the opposition and his link up with Diame has been very interesting. McCarthy has been poor all season and i think a spell in the reserves will do him a bit of good. Think we have a big chance against a re-vitalised Sunderland. They are on a good run but so are we and should prove to be a belter. Think we should have the edge considering they played on Sunday in a hard fought game and its a night match and also the distance they have to travel. Man City up after them, They are on a bad run so we could be in to cause an upset again. In fact in our next 6 games or so i would only possibly rule out Tottenham away. Hope Martinez can keep this belief going.
