1. City - 8 goals conceded. (Remember who sent 4 of those passed them?)

2. Arsenal - 8 goals conceded. (Hard to say this, but I'm very impressed with the back line here.)

3. ManU - 8 goals conceded. (This is somewhat of a surprise considering the cloud of uncertainty around the CB pairing.)

4. Spurs - 8 goals conceded. (Has to be the biggest surprise so far since the defense was so shite last season.)

Discuss.

Mad that we did to City what you dream about at night?

Throw in Cech and Coquelin here too.

No, you're a United fan whose team couldn't get it done against a rival that the "shite" Spurs dominated.

Honestly, Bellerin is the one who has been just so impressive to me.

I was referencing the Blind at CB thing.

I didn't hear any United fans praising that decision at the beginning of the season.

He has been phenomenal. I thought he was our MOTM against Bayern. Did enough to put Dante off his game and was responsible for the second goal, in addition to being a constant offensive threat.

City's has been the best of those IMO. They've balanced going forward while remaining resolute at the back the best. Outside the Tottenham game, they've been almost impossible to score against. Arsenal's back four has a lot of athleticism. They'll be set the next few years with Bellerin and Gabriel constantly improving.

Yeah he is amazing. He's just so damn quick that he can make up for the type of mistakes you would expect from a 20 year old fullback.

Monreal has somehow become the best LB in the league in the past year.

This is what happens when you have good keepers (City excepted).

Then Chelsea should be on the list. They have two.
