My take on things.
4 wins and a draw from 5 games is nearly perfection.
Bit shaky from Karius at times, but we'll see how he gets on from here.
Better display from Lovren and wow, without overplaying it, how much better does Moreno look this season?
We look stronger on the right flank with Gomez and TAA than we have looked with Clyne for a long time. I think perhaps he may find himself 3rd choice before long.

Excellent display from the midfield 3, with Can looking particularly strong. More of the same please.

I won't mention the front 3 because I couldn't say anything that hadn't been said already.
Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

Moreno is like a new signing.

Gomez in particular had a great game and got forward well while shutting down Welbeck for most of the day. Definitely shows our growth as a squad that players like Gomez can come in and perform when they are asked to.

I can't help but like the lad. I know he has the odd (or more than a few! ) defensive howlers in him, but you have to be impressed with his effort. He puts 100% into everything.

Still trying to tackle on the wrong side too often, still a bit too hotheaded on occation. But better than I'd seen him in a real game. Might give Robbo a run for the spot after all.

Sufficient form.

I thought Karius was very authoritative in his dealing with the two dangerous crosses he had to deal with even tho, he backed himself too much on the two occassions he tried to play out of the back, as that is his strong point, really. He made no mistakes, was very vocal and kept a clean sheet in his first start of the season in a big game. All in all, positives for him and great team perf, all round.
