We will probably now go and screw it up tonight, now you've said that.

Anyway, hasn't just about everyone on here said how rocky our defence is looking? Plus we are pretty much at the top of the league for goals given away at set pieces.

Arsenal also had a superb defence that year and a lot of their success was built upon that

People on here say many things that are not true

We've hardly let in any goals from open play. That's not a sign of a rocky defence. Most of the goals we've conceded have been from set plays. A much easier problem to solve. We've now only conceded once in the last 3 games including away at Leicester which is one of our hardest games of the season.

Being unbeaten can be over rated, especially if it includes a lot of draws. Mathematically and points wise you are better off swapping two draws for one loss and one win.

Far too early to start this thread and only worth revisiting if we are still unbeaten with about 6 games to go.

Didn't do Burnley any harm last season

Staying unbeaten is great for team morale. If all of our draws were closer to a defeat than a win I'd be a little worried. But this form has us competing for a top 2 place. Just a draw has us in 2nd. Keep the points ticking over and watch the teams below us trying to catch us up.
