Back on track and guns firing!

So, I sit here writing this a bit late an hour before the Boxing Day game as unfortunately I wasn't one of those '3 weeker' Christmas holiday makers off from the Friday before, rather working up to the death! And who has time on Christmas Eve and day to write with family to please and feed!

So, I sat in my seat for the Arsenal game apprehensive, excited but you know what not that nervous! I wasn't that nervous because I know we are good and as already stated we just need some luck and to finish a few to show people we are actually 3 or 4 goals better than the lucky league leaders! However my nerves raised a little when I saw Sterling up front and turned to the kid next to me and stated that is a really bad idea! Don't get me wrong Sterling has improved a great deal this season from someone I stated last year I wouldn't even pay 50p for, but he has improved as a winger and as yet he is still not polished with his main shortcomings still being composure and finishing! So don't put him up front, almost immediately proved by his poor header that could have been an immediate response to their early counter attack goal.

Also, once again at the same time I beat the drum of don't marginalise Kev to the wing something I have been saying all year!

So, the first half finishes we have played ok in terms of possession taking the lions share but we are again behind with what really matters the score, and then low and behold he swaps Sterling to the wing and The Ginger Prince up front and what a surprise the 2nd half comes and everything changes! Who would have thought of that hey??!!

We now look more like Chelsea first half, Barcelona second half, showing glimpses of the Old Trafford game, as we responded immediately with Sane bursting through the middle after having a poor first half!

We then finish the victory with a great ball from the ginger prince, now even more in the thick of it and dictating play, to none other than Sterling on the wing! Who came inside to finish a great winner! Job done as we managed to see this one out and get ourselves back on track for we are the best team in the league by far this year, no matter how much the press looks to drag us down.

Other things of note were the new skinny enthused Yaya again, who played really well, which I am once again warming to, and is maybe shaping up for a great 'rising from the ashes' story and who doesn't like one of them.

Finally, Zaba injured which never makes me happy!
