    Well we were letting in goals against everybody last season so I am not sure why we always have to 'wait'.

    In any case, you can just see there is more of a defensive shape. That's not to say we won't concede goals, every side will but I am hoping the goals we concede won't be from us being caught out.

    Yup.

    It's noticable that we are being less gung ho from the back, with Tommy V sitting in, and whilst the fullbacks are getting forward, the midfield and wider attackers are covering off the space left behind.

    Last season we were caught too many times on the counter attack, and from leaving space out wide for opposing players to run into. Those spaces are now closed off.

    We're defending better from set pieces too. Closer marking, and none of those gaps between the keeper and the back line.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    We've actually got a 'nice problem to have' at centre back. Vermy as captain has to play most games but either Merts of Koschelny (no, I can't spell it) would be good partners. The full backs are doing OK and we have Santos around and Sagna to come back.
    Goalkeeper is a slight concern but overall we are looking better back there.

    Sat on his sofa in his shorts and sunglasses, turning round to his wife and almost saying something, before the realisation dawns, and his face drops.

    Then in the kitchen, he frantically rearranges coasters on the counter, pointing with glee at the straight line of four he has created, before his wife scalds him....and it reminds him of days gone by.

    See him alone. In the garden, jogging down the side of the flowerbeds, and when he reaches the end, turning, quick, sharp and belting it towards the patio windows.
