He does need a rest like. I'm intrigued if he had a good 6 months off, if that would help him re-cover his zest.
I love his achievement with Porto, UEFA Cup in 2002/03 and then Champs League 2003/04 - that was hugely impressive with that team.
These Fulham and Cardiff home games feel really important.
Win these 2 and we'll probably need 13-14 points from the remaining 15 games after Cardiff (which looks do-able).
Huge win. Our away form isn't bad for a lower Prem side like. Take out the Manchester games, and it's 2 wins and 4 draws versus the rest, with 2 conceded.
Maybe because I was like 18 and absolutely mortal at the time, but always have fond memories of the Chelsea FA Cup game (2004?), when Kluvert scored dead early on and we won 1-0. Atmosphere was absolutely electric that day.
