As it stands we're bang in trouble. There aren't three teams worse than our first choice 11.
There certainly are with just defensive units. Branthwaite and Pickford shortly committing to new long term deals is very good news. Hopefully new RB will be signed soon and J O'B can possibly start the season at CB which I want to see.
Individual members of the defence routinely get hammered on here but if they are all out there AND 100% fit (rather than playing through knocks as Tarks and Myko seemed to be for half of last season) they are not easy to be scored against home or increasingly away.
That isn't going to change under Moyes and would be amazed if any of Leeds, Burnley or Sunderland have better defensive stats this season.
