Predictable wasn't it. As sure as night becomes day, and John Terry's autobiography will now be a massive bestseller, Everton contrive to temper your misplaced optimism with a putrid dose of derby day defeat.
So, who next then? Ah [Poor language removed], it's February.
Chelsea come to our place embroiled in a table top straightner with United and one would assume hungry for the points.
If certain things could be levelled in criticism of Moyes in his time here it's that we don't win enough games against the top clubs. Easier said than done as they are the top clubs, but there has been various times when we have had them on the ropes, Harry, and come short in either confidence or class to really finish things off. Keeping on the boxing theme, not unlike Lennox Lewis post being sparked out seemingly holding back when all you wanted to scream was HE'S CRYING, HE'S F*CKING CRYING IN THE RING, JUST SLAM HIM LAD".
It's hard to write this and point out any weaknesses to exploit in the Chelsea team as they on the whole a bit mustard and barring the occasional [Poor language removed] result Ancelotti has had them performing well this year. In reality, were probably anticipating what zany chants and rips are going to be heading the way of the ex England captain. Kipper's mailbox is going to be chocka by the weekend you'd think.
After the massive amount of non performances in the derby and having players back on the bench you would expect a change or two for this game, Neville to midfield, Hibbert to right back then. Fellaini's injury will become a little clearer in time and if not then Moyes has a little thinking to do - his absence would be a big loss for such a game. The final third will be getting some attention as we are a little [Poor language removed] in this area once teams effectively deal with those diagonal balls, an underwhelming Saha and Pienaar certainly don't help either, so this game may turn into a battle of attrition, unless Chelsea score early and web us.
Second game into the month of [Poor language removed] and time to stand up. All words on this interweb thing are futile unless the players in blue turn up and get into them from the off.
