Well I called for a fresh start to the new year and a good performance and that's exactly what we got!. From the moment Danny Sturridge nipped in at the far post to prod the ball home we all knew we were right on the money and Watford knew they were in for a long afternoon.
Within 30 mins we were 3-0 up and cruising and we were playing flowing football. This was exactly what we needed to shake off the cobwebs and get our game back on track. No disrespect to the Hornet's and their fans but on paper before the game we should of walked it and that was exactly what we did!
With two from Sturridge (which will do his confidence the world of good with a big month ahead for him), Malouda, Lampard and (he looks like he just got out of School) Zhirkov it really was a fantastic display.
Carlo reverted back to the tried and trusted 4-3-3 formation with Joe Cole playing one side of Sturridge and Malouda the other. Watford couldn't cope with our possession and our movement and it was like the Chelsea of old. We were playing a full pace, dominant and at it from the off.
Belletti played in the holding role and Zhirkov played the other side of midfield to Lampard and it worked well. I am not sure this is the way forward in the Premier League, but bloody hell it worked on Sunday.
Once the dust had settled, we waited for the draw for the fourth round. At one stage every lower league side were dwindling away until somewhere near the end we come out away to Preston. This will be their cup final and other game against a Championship side in the Cup. Have to say I am well happy with that as it could of been alot worse!
So, its moving on now to the fourth round as we look to retain the FA Cup!
CAREFREE & KTBFFH!
