We did indeed do okay! I'm starting to have confidence those silly goals we give away will be few and far between. There's certainly a reluctance from the opposition to 'high press' us it seems. They have exploited the slower Kepa, Alonso and Dave in the recent past but now we have speed/mobility right through the team it's a risky business pushing up against us. The playing out from the back is now mixed with longer balls...it's less predictable. I'm 100% certain Chilwell was our key signing during the summer...more so than Silva who wouldn't be half as good if he had to constantly cover our left flank.

Special mention for Zouma...brickwall.
