Worth noting that after the unheaval at the start of the season, yesterday marked the third consecutive league game that we started with Chalobah, Guehi and Lacroix as our back three.
Although we lost two of those games, Liverpool and Forest only scored once each and the Forest goal obviously was more of a mistake from Henderson than the fault of our defenders.
Only six teams have conceded fewer than our 11 (Liverpool - 5, Forest - 7, City - 9, Arsenal, Newcastle, Spurs - 10).
Given how well they played yesterday, I think one could reasonably argue that the back 3/5 are 'gelling' and things will continue to improve from here.
It's scoring that's been the problem for us. Six goals is the joint fewest in the league. If we sort that out, we can still have a good season.
