Only 5 teams have not conceded more than 2 goals in any game this season in the PL. The top 4 sides and Brighton. That's not too shabby at all especially considering we were expected to be the league's whipping-boys.

game is about defending as much as attacking and we've shown how we've grown to premier league standard and getting better each game....to go to man u and only get beat by a deflected goal is just how far we've come and adapted to the quality in this league and shown quality in our play too.

And that’s the platform which allows us to be where we are.

Build the confidence in being tough to break down, allows the midfield to play a bit more and grow. Fear of losing inhibits teams and causes doubt/panic. You don’t see the doubt - all you see is players battling and working for each other.
