Some signs at least that the argument being made that actually our defenders are rather good defenders makes sense.

What has helped that is Frank giving us a better structure and the fact we now have a DM which we have missed for a long time.

One has to hope that Palinha is teaching Gray a few things too. He's been great so far and sometimes the two CBs got VERY FAR FORWARD on Saturday and i didn't have mini heart-attacks thinking we'd quickly get done when they did

We have improved defensively for sure, but it's also true that we've conceded one in the league from an xG against of almost 5. And Villarreal had a similar xG to ours, closer to one than zero.
We've also scored 8 in the PL from an xG of 5.
Performances have been mixed, results have been somewhat better than the performances for me also matches the eye test. And unless there's significant further defensive improvement we have to start creating more to keep the good results coming.
