So we are now entering the run of games that will very likely define our season, and I was wondering how confident people are following our form since the New Year.
Before the month is out we have:
Chelsea (a)
Benfica (h)
Arsenal (h)
Benfica (a)
Southampton (h)
Liverpool (a)
To me that looks fookin terrifying and I can't see us getting many points/wins other than maybe against Southampton, although even we'll be coming off a knackering run of games so I wouldn't be 100% confident.
I can't see us getting anything from the Chelsea or Liverpool away games the way both those teams are playing, and I'm concerned that we'll put out a weakened side against Benfica ahead of the Arsenal game.
Maybe Arsenal will continue their slide which makes that game a lot more winnable than it looked a few weeks ago, but they did completely take us apart earlier this year in the FA Cup.
So is anyone feeling a bit more optimistic? I'm looking for positives, and there are a few. Southampton appear to be pish at the moment, and Arsenal are hopefully hitting that stage in the season when it all falls apart for them.
But I need more than that SCers...so is anyone feeling positive about March?
