A big month, and what a way to start it. A massive win over close rivals Manchester United. A deserved victory as well. United played a very narrow game, at their down fall as it aloud Baines and Arbeloa the freedom and ease to exploit them. We played a very good control game, with goals from Romelu either side of half time giving us all three points.
This gave lads immense confidence going into our next two games, Aubameyang making life worse for a struggling QPR side, with a magnificent hat-trick. A great individual performance allowing our unbeaten run to continue.
Beating the teams around us has been one vital ingredient to our success this year. The lads followed that with our victory at home to Arsenal, as we look to hold on to our European spot. We controlled the game with nearly 60% possession. The score line does not reflect our dominance as the lads had 21 attempts on goal alongside that. Very pleasing indeed.
I know a Derby day victory would have been a very sweet tasting Christmas present for our fans, but it was not to be. A very even game although it was another match were we were creating chances at will. A typical Merseyside Derby, which soon became very scrappy. Balotelli scoring a Liverpool’s winner half way through the second half.
The way the team bounced back from the loss was nothing but impressive. Two comfortable and free scoring victories and a draw. Hull played very deep with a lot of bodies behind the ball, we were just unable to unlock the door.
Player of the Month

I touched upon his impact in the Manchester United game, alongside that he was outstanding in the rest of the month’s game. Scoring two goals and a three assists. He was able to find a lot of space in the games, allowing us to really get the best out of him in a attacking sense.
