February ‘16: Mixed Month

Hi everyone!

I’m back with this update concerning my month of February. In this,I will be covering my fixtures, the tables and my view on the month. Without further ado, let’s move on.

Fixtures

First here are my fixtures for the month along with my predictions

This is one of the hardest months that I have this season, 3 giants in 1 month! I predict 6 points in the league and going into the next round of the FA Cup.

Let’s see how I did;

Southampton vs Chelsea

First up was a tough game against the big-spending Blues. With Chelsea legends such as Lampard, Terry and Cech replaced by the likes of Toloi, Sahin and Falcao, could we overcome the Londoners.

Come on lads! 2-0! We convincingly beat them on the counter attack, they couldn’t cope with our pacy attack! Costa and especially Rodriguez were a class above the opposition.

Blackburn vs Southampton

Next was Blackburn away, the only player that I’m scared of in that team is Nicklaus Helenius who always seems to find goals against our team.

Again Helenius scored again but at least we won. Jordan Rhodes managed to score against his old club which must have been good for him.

Manchester United vs Southampton

This is the HARDEST fixture of the SEASON, Manchester Utd away! I am always scared at the Theatre of Dreams but hopefully we can get something from the game!

We were compact and we stopped anything getting through, despite getting through a few  times, they weren’t able to capitalise on the chances that they had. We had one half chance which was a long shot from Nem which hit the crossbar.

Rotherham vs Southampton

I played a youth team, expecting a win against the league 2 opposition.

It was a great game for the neutral, unfortunately not for me. It was tense all the way till the final whistle. It was an upset but a good thing to see was Woolley  who came up through the ranks and is one of my brightest prospects.

Southampton vs Real Madrid

WHOAH! We are playing REAL MADRID at St Mary’s Stadium! Who would ever expect this! We crammed in as many people as possible, all of Southampton heck even the Pompey supporters were watching this!  People climbed on to rooftops and headed to anywhere with Sky Sports it was going to be a class match.

We dominated REAL MADRID! The only reason we drew was because of some last ditch defending and some excellent shot stopping. Casillas showed why he is one of the best keepers around, also Ramos had a blinder, he was a rock. A great performance.

Southampton vs Everton

A game against the toffees, would we overcome the declining Merseyside club.

Easy win, no trouble and a clean sheet to boot. All in all a good home win.

Now lets see the overview

Did slightly better than expected but lost to Rotherham of all clubs, never mind, we have next year.

Table

Stayed top but I forgot to take screenshot anyway, we increased our lead by 3 points this month.

Player of the Month

He has been brilliant so there is no disputing that my POM is

Just brilliant. Great performances against the big clubs, with assists and goals throughout, he was just the best player.

Conclusion

• Good League Wins and general form
• Great draw against Los Galacticos, Real Madrid
• Unfortunate to get knocked out of FA Cup
• Good player morale

So all in all a good month which was let down by the Rotherham loss. That’s it for this update but remember, next time it is the youth intake!
