@jaw Having two central defenders who can play consecutive games without being injured is certainly a boon. As much as I love sir Yerald, he is sadly made of balsa wood. Tarkers is good but big shout out to Coady. Very good player, real professional. Can't believe Wolves let him go.
Nathan patterson, sadly injured :'( has also been a real revelation at right back. Little bit green in his first few games but he was immense against liverpool. Add Gana and Onana to the midfield and we've got a 'decent spine', as you're duty-bound to call it, and certainly get passed through less easily than we used to.
There's also the fact we haven't actually played anyone that great. Arsenal game was cancelled due to Her late Majesty's passing. Now we've got United, Tottenham, Newcastle (that's right, I said it) and Palace (depending on which palace show up). Before a run of 'easier' (quotation marks used advisedly) games. So we'll see the mettle of the side by the end of the month.

I’ve not followed Everton closely enough but just noticed they’ve conceded the least so far this season which surprised me with Lampard and all that. Is it the calming influence of Tarkowski or something else?
Nuno or Terry for Villa I reckon.
