So, pretty quiet in here after what I thought was a pretty good effort by us.
3 months after getting destroyed 6 - 1 by Stoke, we haven't conceded a goal in 3 games (two of them away from home) and have 7 points from 9.
Sure, there are areas of concern...will the defence hold against teams like Chelsea and City and yes, we still have had plenty of moments of panic but for me, Mingolet seems much more in control of his box and his defenders, Clyne is a great signing and Gomez is a revelation (he will have a bad run at some point, he's young).
Goals aren't coming freely BUT we are creating plenty of chances with more ease, something we didn't do last season and I think this is largely down to Coutinho's continued rise and the ability for Milner to find space and direct traffic around him.
Benteke is a great forward to have players running off of him and we have already seen glimpses of his ability and he will only get better the more familiar he gets with those behind him.
We're still not the complete product but we're working with it and the quality youth players are getting a crack. At one point during the Arsenal game, we had 3 under 19 players on the pitch at the same time. Good signs for the season and increasing depth.
Yay us!
