Know what you mean about Coutinho, he's effective against the better sides in my view and it was good to see him showing a physical side against his former club.

Could Nakamba be coached into becoming a ball playing DM, they seem to be hard to come by and Chambers isn't quick enough?

We can look very good in spells and I think the team have now adapted to SG's philosophy, we create more chances with 2 up top & but for a poor 2nd half vs Spurs our defeats have been by the odd goal when often we haven't played well but still been in the game.

Just what has happened to Konsa? He's a shadow of the consistently very good player we saw last season, must be psychological.

If our midfield could show a little more composure in possession we really could be a force - "if".
