Meanest defence in the prem

[Jammy89]

With City's loss today, we have officially the tightest defence in the prem.

Only concede 9 goals all season.

Thinking about it, a third of those were to City.

Aye, i've been pleasantly surprised given how many goals Bournemouth used to ship under Howe. Helps that our recruitment has been excellent since the takeover of course.

Didn't he spend some of his time out of the game studying the methods of defensive coaches like Simeone?

Yup - he spent several months over there with Athletico, it's one of the reasons that may have swung us for Trippier, despite other offers.
