Most of the top teams still concede loads though.

Man City, Liverpool, PSG, Barcelona, all pretty bad defensively.

I can't think of any top team that's great at the back at the moment. Liverpool were very good but fallen off in the last 12 months.

    - Agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Nov 6, 15:50:12
    - I expect Swansea will defend in good numbers (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 10:28:36
