Jan Vertonghen paid tribute to the team’s fitness levels after a gruelling three games in six days ended with a fine performance in Sunday’s draw at Arsenal.

The whole team should feel proud not only for completing three games in six days, but for putting together the current unbeaten run.

The players done us and themselfs proud!!.
Poch has got this team working and fighting as a team.
Watch the players off the ball working hard,closing down....moving into positions to stop passes and also when our players have the ball and move out of position,watch how someone drops into their place....specially the midfield.
The lads and Poch deserve alot of credit

This is the weakness of having a smaller squad. Last year there were too many players and some sulk when not picked and you don't build up that understanding when changes get made. Sadly now we can't give anyone a break when there's a week like this last one. We took Eriksen off early against Anderlecht but that's about it. I'm sure Toby or Harry could do with the odd game off. I'm hoping when the international break is over we've no new injuries and Chadli, Clinton and Bentaleb are raring to go.

Yeah, hopefully guys like Mason, Wimmer, Trippier, Onomah etc will get opportunity to give our first XI a breather. Seems like we have a well oiled machine ready to fight for top 4 this season. Without bias, I honestly can't say the same about the other obvious top 4 contenders (Chelsea, Liverpool respectively).

Why can footballers/football media not count? Monday-Sunday is 7 days!

We did achieve three positive results in this period, but was I the only one who noticed a serious decline in performance in the last twenty minutes of each of those games?

We almost threw the Villa game away whilst Anderlecht and Arsenal could/should easily have beaten us with the chances they had.

I don't wish to sound pedantic but 8pm on Monday night until 8pm the following Sunday is 6 days.

I know, I don't wish to sound pedantic but I am.
