The only defence to keep its shape better...

... than ours is to be found threaded along a metal rod on a table footbal set. It's mesmerising, balletic, beautiful and brilliant. If it doesn't generate an England cap this season I'll... Actually I'll not be surprised or bothered, the country's loss will be our gain.

Absolutely- one of the most impressive things for me is the level of concentration throughout. You can have the best players/system ever but if someone switches off it all falls apart. David Luiz might play for Brazil but he costs goals every season because he’s a lazy sod who fails to stay on it for 90 mins. Every time we lost the ball, and admittedly you only get a limited view from the tv, first thought seemed to be to get in shape and do what the system demands. Sounds easy but hats off to everyone for making it happen week in week out. Sky put up some stats at the end of the game which showed us as #1 in the PL for a number of defensive measures like shots against, saves etc - bloody marvellous!

If we concede a goal it hurts,it really hurts.We should all watch the second half of the home game against Brentford last season to understand what it means to defend a lead and throw bodies on the line to achieve victory.The ability to defend properly and eradicate unforced errors is a thing of beauty,i was very impressed with us again tonight,we were excellent.

It's like one of those mechanical Grand National table top games. They all get forward and then there's a clunk and they just perfectly slot back into their places ready to go.

Our positional discipline is something else. Man U tried to copy us a bit when they played Liverpool yesterday but their formation looked like if someone asked you to draw ours whilst inside a washing machine that was mounted on a bucking bronco.

You could use a screenshot of our players defending to line shelves up.
