may just be me but Silva even at his age seems to be the fittest strongest player in our side, maybe second to Reece.
Yes, no doubt Mendy and Silva improve us defensively. But 3 4 3 is not the formation that Frank intends to use this season. So until we can consistently defend well in a 4 2 3 1 or a 4 3 3 we are not out of the woods as yet.
But, let's hope its a start of something

This.
Seeing an improvement in defense switching to a 343 is like seeing an improvement in attack after switching to 424. It's good that it happened, but it's an expectation.
It was a game that didn't really prove/progress anything, a temporary stall in order to gain a productive point.
Silva has been great other than like you say the slip which has happened to many. Mendy also looks like a capable keeper which anything from average is an improvement.
