Defensively we're much better than at the start of the season. Especially visible in how much better we are able to limit the dangerous counter attacking opportunities of our opponents. Those 2vs2, 3vs3 or even 4vs4 situations have become much rarer. Usually at least one of our midfielders seems to be defensively on the right side of play when we turn the ball over. I'm personally very happy that I don't have to witness the situations where all our mids are out of position and are desperately trying to run back (if they are bothered) as regularly anymore.
The intensity of ur play has also improved at least to some degree. By that I mean how we challenge for second balls, the aforementioned running back to help the defence and how we at times move the ball faster.
Don't get me wrong, there's still a lot of room for improvement, but if you can't see the clear improvements we've already made then this seems like a pointless discussion. All those improvements have led to much more consistent results in the past 3-4 months.

maybe both. but we need better players first, that's a given.
i don't care about entertainment too much, i mean i can be perfectly entertained by a well organized team oozing grinta, but results surely won't come without dependable, quality players. i miss players like prime bbc, buffon, vidal, pirlo, marchisio, pjanic, lichtsteiner, even not completely burnt out alex sandro who could play 40+ matches per season without having more than a handful of bad ones. i'd take reliability over flair and fancy every time.

give them the benefit of the doubt, i'm sure they followed xavi's previous oil team (=watched that vid on twitter on repeat when they are counter attacking against a shitty 3rd tier team like prime barcelona)
btw i have nothing against xavi, he was a very good choice for barcelona, he knows exactly what the club's identity is about. i heard sarri was the perfect candidate for us, just needed more time.

He's fellow colleague and Max did have his moments however I doubt he's capable of doing what Lippi did both at height of his success major trophies and downfall admitting when he was out of his depth.
We've been struggling to close out games and shit the bed with early leads regardless of the level of opponent we're facing. Nobody's asking for champaign football exactly, though he's smart enough to feed the media with us trying to play aesthetically pleasing at the stretch end is the reason for not getting the results.
Anyhow regards to ex coach/players comments what Marchisio said a while back was also interesting now that sounds like someone who still follows the team closely and tune in every week.

Part of the improvement is also due to the lower quality of teams we have been playing. We are getting points against the smallest teams.

His fanboys won't see it, they will tell you that it was Ronaldo's departure that forced Allegri to play like this
Or infamous 442 with Rabiot as left midfielder
or infamous 442 with 4 central midfielders
Or when they've put on semi-injured Chiesa and we lost him for a year
But he won 6 scudettis, you can't criticize him
