We all have to give it much longer to really judge players or manager for this season because I would add to/amend the above...
Limassol away - generally poor, saved by subs in the last 20mins
QPR - best performance and result, worst team in the league so far
Sunderland - good performance, totally dominated and only conceded one-deflected-shot in the game. However, we somehow only drew 2-2, shit result in the end (and they just shipped 8!!!!).
Forest - good last half hour to turn the game around against Championship opposition
Man City - result flattered them but, same-old-same-old as far as our bad 'luck' goes and certainly same-old result against top teams
Pros - Chadli has been solid and contributed goals as well as being closer than most to adding a couple more. Capoue as fit and mobile as Sandro at his best to date. Eriksen coming back to his old self. Other sides struggling for consistency around us.
Cons - Lamela has flattered to deceive a bit too much, need him to make that real breakthrough for even a mini-run of games. He's had the minutes and the faith. Chadli has done far more and Eriksen over-taking him too after a slow start. Chiriches and Paulinho seem write offs.
Lack of pace in the team.
Goals hard to come by for sure, defensive gaffs still imminent in any game no matter how we're playing or who the opposition are.
