There weren't many times I could say that last season if I'm honest.... But I thought we were brilliant today, and this isn't me getting overexcited about just a home win over Norwich but more so over the signs that were visible today.
It just felt like an all round performance, everyone playing their part and to a high standard, something we didn't see enough of last season, it was refreshing. Soldado didn't look as isolated and could have had a couple today if it weren't for some good interceptions. We played some very good balls in from wide positions and of course scored from such a situation, and not only that but with Eriksen in the middle there was also a threat from down the centre of the pitch, as well as having Paulinho popping up in good central areas. I also thought Rose and Walker were excellent in supporting when going forward to. Plus we still even have Lamela to integrate into the team, who I thought looked a bit nervous against Arsenal but looked very confident in the few times he got on the ball today.
Basically I just thought we looked much improved from a lot of last seasons performances, and even though we had a very good season last year, today felt more like watching the Tottenham we all want to see and that we know. Last season we were very pedestrian at home especially but today we looked full of energy and creativity, as well as not letting Norwich have a sniff. Certainly moving in the right direction.
