Liverpools defence has bore the brunt of criticism these past few years. Klavan's introduction in Matip's absence, and Mignolet's recall has brought about 3 clean sheets in 4 games. It has turned Liverpool's record in clean sheets to the joint 4th best of any team in the league.
That record, is on par with the likes of Arsenal and Man Utd. I mentioned in a previous post that Liverpool have conceded 2 or more goals in 5 of our 18 games, now 5 in 19. Arsenal have done this on 4 occasions and Man Utd 3 times.
We are now joint fifth on the least of the leagues leanest defences, when pre-Mignolet/Klavan we were tenth. In fact, before our blip against Bournemouth and West Ham, we were sixth. Are the comments about our recurring form at the back still swayed with bias.
