Went to the game last night, here are some thoughts:
Emerson is a dreadful defender but good going forward. Zappacosta was marginally better. Both need to add more grit to their play.
Christiansen had a decent game considering he was basically covering for everyone else's screw ups. Cahill and Fabregas showed their ages.
Kepa's distribution is really strong. He hardly ever loses possession from a goal kick or throw out.
Willian is so frustrating. He is such a talented player but his decision making in the final third is abject. Pedro is more intelligent but lacked match fitness.
Kovacic is a beast and is growing in confidence. He could be the first box to box player we've had who would rival Michael Essien. He just needs to sharpen his shooting.
Barkley looks confident but needs to turn that into assists and goals to nail on a starting place.
Morata is clearly working harder to be more aggressive in his game. You could see that by all the Costa-like protesting (and his eventual booking) . His target man and link up play was decent too with him dropping off to play one-twos with midfield.
Finally, hats off to VIDI, they played a bloody good game considering they are approximately Championship quality players and away from home. It just shows the power of playing as a team rather than a bunch of individuals (ManUtd I'm looking your way) .

Thinks RLC deserves getting mentioned. He had a brilliant game in my eyes, and I honestly think he might do a better job at Kante's role than Kante does right now. However, it would be catastrophic to put Kante on the bench.

Yes well done to vidi. They were well organised and dangerous on the break and set pieces. Their manager is one to watch for the future .

I've been quite negative lately as I've been gutted about Ampadu and Hudson-Odoi not starting these Europa league games when I think they both deserve to. Both better than Cahill and Moses for me now.
But I'd just like to say how happy I am with the permanent signings of Kepa and Jorginho. Was unsure on Kepa at first but wow his reflexes are sensational. The last few games have really brought out the best in him and he seems to be getting more and more confident. His distribution is spot on also. Jorginho is vital to our new style. He's not the quickest (still far quicker than Cesc btw) but he's perfect in between Kante and Kovacic. I really hope we can make Kovacic's signing permanent I really do think he's he next Modric type of midfielder good all round.
I'm happy that we've only made a couple of signings but both class which is what I'd prefer than absolute average signings. Just wish we'd use the youth as rotation.
Let's hope next summer we do the same only making a class couple of signings but this time a world class striker and right winger.
