saints_is_the_south Posted 9 October, 2013 Share Posted 9 October, 2013 (edited) Saints currently have the 2nd best defence in Europe this season across the top 5 leagues with an impressive 0.29 goals per game being conceded so far. Stat taken from this blog on Roma's (with the only better defence than ours) start to the season. http://www.whoscored.com/Blog/tj-zbzqc5e2qta6it-by6w/Show/Team-Focus-Garcia-Brings-Defensive-Resolve-to-Reconstructed-Roma Keeping some pretty fine company there!

Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 9 October, 2013 Share Posted 9 October, 2013 This really is a stunning statistic that I would never have believed in a million years before the season started. It is testament to the signing of the superb Lovren and how he has made Fonte really step up his game (I always thought he had all the attributes to be a good PL CB), the excellent Boruc who is the foundation of our defence our brilliant young full backs and the Schneiderlin/Wanyama combo shielding the back four. Poch was a fine international CB in his time and he has clearly had a great impact on our defensive shape and organisation too. The rest of the league will be looking at us knowing how hard we are to break down and score against which shouldn't be underestimated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
