we have got the best defensive record in the Premier league so far, even after the 4-0 loss against Spurs. Its just the attack we need to focus on and off we go.

Agreed Aldo, Skittles definitely looks more confident playing with Agger.

Enrique has settled really well and some more performances like that from Johnson (with Kelly pushing him hard for a starting place) can only mean a more solid defensive unit all round.

Not biting my nails now everytime we are defending like this time last year.

made a thread like this a couple of games ago. It's an amazing stat when you consider how shaky we have looked at times!

looking good!

yes but at the expense of playing very deep and leaving the front men exposed and isolated. However I would accept our defense are looking decidedly better of late. We were a bit lucky to get away with a few mistakes left and right today, and Renia made one hell of a save and some good distribution. Yes our defense looks like it may develop into a reliable unit after all and allow us to play a higher pressing game.

yep, skrtel-agger looks like the best combination for now. they did very well today.

we just need to start scoring goals. that's our main problem so far this season...

carra compensates his tired legs with shouting orders - maybe works for newcomers not skrtyl

Agree with that Armitage.
They're all professional footballers and no matter how much of a legend Carra is the fact is that this season he has made a few mistakes so players won't accept the shouting as much as they did. Probably thinking he should concentrate on his own game.
Personally I love the shouting - shows his passion but other player? I can understand them not loving it so much.

I actually laughed when you said this in another thread aldo because I thought you were joking but it is very interesting, I also agree with Annefield that we are sitting far too deep at the moment but look at what happened to chelsea for pushing forward with a high line.

This could well change next weekend if city defeat us.

@aldo you heard the commentator talk about it didn't you, admit it :p

the D is good, the problem is the loss of concentration after much hard work, Adam worked hard but for that one moment he did his habit of thinking"whats the worst that could happen, no danger here", and Enrique lost concentration as well for the goal.

right now the team has a habit of letting in 1 goal almost every match, but they need to grind lots of 1-0 wins like every big team to get somewhere.
