Decent article from the Tele on why everything is so much better under Unai

Is it churlish to wish there were a few more clean sheets in among that lot, though?

There's not too many rock solid defences about anymore, imo. Not just us. Because of all the attacking quality available, especially at the top but even further down the table, it seems there's an acceptance that the opposition team will score; with your "apparently" better players, you just have to score more.

We won the league in '91 allowing just 18 goals; Manchester City, despite dominating last season, let in almost thirty, I think, which seems about par recently.

Yes, ridiculously churlish.

The man has been in the job a few weeks. He has a whole squad, indeed a whole football club, to get operating in line with his plan.

If, at this point, we had lost 4 and drawn a couple, I wouldn't have been in the least surprised.

This bloke may turn out to be utter mince, but to suggest that he is doing anything other than remarkably well at this point is Cascarino-esque.

Yes. People seem to think it’s just about scoring more than the other chap these days. Awfully vulgar if you ask me.
