We're not pretending or ignoring anything. Just saying that we haven't neglected our defence despite you saying that we have. Karius will probably be our first choice goalkeeper, but he's injured.
Shall we just pretend we didn't sign two centrebacks and a goalkeeper so you can say we neglected the defence?
We scored four by taking advantage of their defensive issues with players being out, they scored due to some defensive issues, including our leftback who we aren't going to replace for some reason.
The fact is we have addressed our defensive issues by signing two CB, and letting Skrtel go (and Kolo, sadly). Unfortunately Matip, Sakho and Gomez were unavailable. Gomez could play LB when he's fit. Milner was also unavailable and he might have started at LB if he was fit.
