However, he says there is still room for improvement, particularly in attack, as he told Sky Sports: "When you talk about a transformation, we have a lot of new players in, a new manager, a new way of playing, that kind of shift is always going to take some time. To be honest, that part our game is still the area that has the most improvement in it, the attacking side of our game - we can be even more aggressive in the way we play and create even more opportunities.
"But I would balance that up in the tremendous resilience we've shown and the defensive solidity we've had considering we've had a totally new back line and a new midfield set-up. So it's kind of a balancing act these things of wanting to be this kind of team, but also understanding you have to build some other aspects of the side.
"At the moment we are juggling that pretty well, but I still think when we become the team I want us to become, that is the area we still have the most improving to do in - the attacking areas."
