Defence has been a hell of a lot better this season so far. Initially it was put down to only playing ''weaker'' teams but we've played Tottenham and Man City back to back and kept clean sheets. Emery's defensive tightening is paying dividends and now we just need to be a little more expansive going forwards.

Also dispels the stuff that he can’t defend.Those criticisms last season really irritated me given how exceptional we were with him at the back the previous year.To be fair it was about 90% dim tim.

It could be worse, someone was blaming Martinez the other day.
He is playing like he did in his first season here - he does that and he’s one of the best around.
