Rafa wants more of the same against Sunderland

Rafa has been happy with our recent defensive performances that have led to six consecutive clean sheets. He has urged the team to continue taking things game by game and to forget about the bigger picture:
"I didn't know that statistic, but I think it is important we carry on doing the same things because if you start thinking about statistics you forget the basics," he explained.
"The most important thing for me is to continue doing the same things, keep going the same way and then other people can talk about the statistics. My idea is simply to win every game.
"The only target I have set is to stay here for maybe 10 years. After that my only target is to win the next game."
"Always when you are a manager you start by thinking how you can improve the defence, because it is easier.
"Then afterwards you work with the strikers, because it is easier to improve the defenders.
"If you want to score it is a much smaller space, but if you want to clear the ball it is much bigger."

It looks like Rafa is close to completing the task of organising a top class defence. Hopefully he will get similar results when he starts concentrating on our attack.
