Recent results have shown some stability especially at the back, can't knock it but Silva and Mendy have managed to calm things down a bit and we don't seem so reckless with our defending as we were before, I won't say we don't have our moments because we do like against Burnley where they could easily have gone 1-0 up early on but Mendy is decisive in his decision making and that's the difference.. He doesn't hesitate to come out and make himself as big and as difficult to get past as he can, also very agile and one would wonder how many of those might have sneaked past Kepa if he had been in goal.. His presence along with Silva inspires some badly needed confidence in that area..
Clean sheets have been the most obvious improvement even if they have been against opposition we could be expected to beat and we are slowly moving from goalless draws to getting some fluidity up front to go along with it.. I won't get carried away just yet because like I said the teams we are beating right now are those we should be beating but the testers are always the likes of Spurs, City and the Liverpool's or anyone else that is in pretty good goal scoring form.. All the new players are settling in ok and slowly building up an understanding with each other and hopefully this will just get better as the season goes on.. I see Pulisic got injured in the warm up?? I do hope he is not going to be our new Arjen Robben, blessed with game changing skill but as fragile as a china plate
