I wish you would actually read what I post instead of your usual knee jerk response simply because it's me who posted it. Koch may well have been thrown in at the deep end, not disagreeing on that at all, and his early performances showed it for sure! However he now faces an extended period off through injury/surgery (as I said in #21, limitations on playing time through no fault of the player). 11 games (and subbed for the match against Chelsea) isn't enough to show he (or any other new player with the same record of matches played) is the "next great thing", although as per your usual effort, you choose to use this thread to have a go at the "little Englanders" who had the temerity to question some of the newcomers suitability.

You may be proved right, but I'll celebrate each game and the performances the players give on its own merits rather than conclude with only a third of the season played. As you say, this is the best league in the world, and experience outside it is no more than a guide, and as you well know, some "good bits of business" turn out to be clowns or lard-ar5e5, (or both).
