Yea definitely. the squad is a mess in terms of balacnce really and we still lack certain personalities and particualr individuals. I'm very happy with our ability to keep winning without playing well, Kane is showing that he has real ability and a knack for just scoring, even at this level, a tremendous trait to have. Bentaleb + Mason have also been much better than expected. Based purely on what I'm seeing now, I can't really say I'm as optimistic as you, but I'm hopeful. I'll be a lot more optimistic when Poch more or less gets the sort of players that he wants. At least from the Everton game he did show he can get a good display out of these players, just nowhere near enough. Although even though a lot on here will disagree, I can't help but think how important Lennon was to that performance.
I totally agree with you, Lennon was pivotal to it. His work rate was exceptional, he completely nullified Baines. And he stretched them, and of course assisted Soldado for the winner.
But its his work rate and his mere presence. Pace panics defenders and disrupts the oppositions shape.
