It's not been great but whether it's down to luck or bad finishing we've currently only conceded 6 goals. Only Wolves, Spurs and Brighton have conceded fewer goals.

So yes, the defending hasn't been amazing, but I've run the numbers and Pickford is at 2.6 goals prevented so far this season, which is the best in the league. However, before the derby he was 1.1, which was the 5th best, showing how much one game can skew stats either way when it comes to xGA etc.

Scoring goals is our main issue.
Our defending is reliant on the keeper bailing them out which means to me it isn't good defending. Pickford's psxg has him saving over .5 above average per game. That's absurd and he deserves all the credit but it is completely unsustainable, the defending needs to improve.
