attack and defence are linked

if you play loads of defensive minded players and/or a very defensive approach by keeping the ball in midfield for ages, without actually trying to do anything with it, then you won't concede many. But you also won't score many.

If, or when, we try to be more attacking, the defence is inevtiably going to become weaker. So it's premature to say that anything has been sorted yet - it's always about finding a balance between attack and defence. This season the balance at home has been terrible. Clean sheets are pretty hollow if the opposition is coming here looking to play for a 0-0.
