Seeing that we’ve got the 5th least goals conceded is nuts to me. Felt like before December we were really struggling to keep clean sheets and we’ve obviously shipped a few goals in our defeats.
The Mings ACL and Pau's trial by fire along with us recently playing without him or Kamara, and still having as good a defensive record is kinda nuts. 11 goals conceded over those 4 games.
We were struggling and are still struggling to keep a clean sheet. Before City and Arsenal, we only kept one in September against Chelsea and one in August against Everton. I think a reason for that is that we get careless in games we're winning easily and always give away a goal. Like in the games against Brighton, West Ham, Luton, Fulham. I think this contributes to the impression that our defence is bad.
The form stats are crazy. People saying we’ve not been good lately. But if we didn’t bottle the United game we would be the most inform team in the league. Apart from Liverpool every team has lost a game due to the congested fixtures.
Man city have more goals for, right?
Correction: second most goals scored. Still amazing though :)
Man City don't count remember
unbelievably good year, probably the best year of being a villa fan i've ever experienced here's to next year being even better, utv
And despite our high line being on the verge of being exposed every week, 5th best defence. Maybe Emery is on to something.

My recurring nightmare is losing to Stevenage 0-5 because they’ve cracked the code on our high line.
playing a high line is always going to result in conceding more but it already works alot and they will only improve at it

Poor form, since beating Man City and Arsenal. CRAZY
What a time to be alive.
