So last season, we were too defensive. Too dull. Very good defensively, but couldn't score enough goals.
For the majority of this season, we've been on the other end of the scale. Highly attacking. Flair. Plenty of goals, but suspect defensively and prone to stupid errors.
Have we now finally found the balance between attack and defense?. We've had 5 clean sheet in a row in the Prem. Conceded 2 goals in the last 7 games, whilst scoring 16 in the process.
In these last 7 games (apart from maybe Tottenham), I feel that we've purposely tried to reign the attacking component in a bit and work on solidifying the defence. The flair of the early season isn't quite there but neither are the defensive lapses.
Thoughts? Have we done anything majorly different to achieve this?
