Perfectly happy with how we're playing

It's exactly as meca says below: I think we've turned a corner too. We look solid and well organised - but we have to play cagily against class opposition.

No Mbokani = no out ball, and I worry about Jerome getting frustrated by having to feed off scraps. Test of character for him over the months ahead. But we look hugely stronger defensively than a month or so back, and AN is indeed learning quickly.

Chelsea locked us out of the 2nd half: pinned us in deep very effectively. But look at their players, and look at ours. We can only do what we can... but we'll be alright. That was a lower mid-table performance; never a relegation one. Good to see Ruddy coming back into form too.

Onwards and upwards. OTBC
