No. One of the main reasons you have a shit defence is that you have shit defenders.
On the ground we conceded the least amount of goals in the PL last season.
One of the reasons we have a shit defense, is that we can't handle set pieces because our tactics are awful for them and we conceded 53% of our goals from them.
Maybe it's the application of those tactics by players like Vermaelen that is awful.
It might be significant that Vermaelen didn't play for the majority of last season
Oh yeah, because your defence was nigh impregnable the season before.
Considering we conceded the least amount of goals, including the period where our defence was an absolute shambles, i'd say yes, it was pretty good, also considering we were competing for first place for the majority of the season, i'd say we weren't too shabby
compare a 1-0 loss at Old Trafford to an 8-2 loss.
If I have to point that much out, then its safe to say you overestimate your intelligence
