Lets not get carried away guys! We had a similar start last season and ended up 4th! Plus, the players need to show the desire and effort of last game to all games, otherwise, it's just the same old same old.

We had a better start last season imo.
We were bad against Watford, average at best against Palace and lucky in Germany. For me we have played well in 2 out of 5 games and some people are getting a little carried away with yesterday's performance, both Arsenal and Hoffenheim where there for the taking imo. (Although we played great)
Its the same with Can, a week or two ago nobody seemed overly bothered if he left yet after 2 good performances people are making him out to be Mordic.
I just think we need to calm down expectations a touch.

Hope so too 007! Ability wise we are not lacking, it's the mental part that concerns me.

Cobra there were plenty of posters extolling the virtues of can back end of last season and right through pre season so no it has not taken 2 good games as you try to simplistically put it for real fans to recognise his talent. As for being lucky against hoffenhiem that's complete nonsense and the boys performance against arsenal was fantastic, no matter how bad they were we still had to do the business and put the ball in the net. If it had been chelsea or manu that played like that against them people would be creaming themselves. I really don't get our own fanbase sometimes.

We could have easily been 2/ 3 down at half time against Hoffenheim, our left side of defence was getting a torrid time.
I'm not denying we where great at home to Hoffenheim and Arsenal but I'm just saying people get too carried away and these are the same people who do the opposite, remember what it was like here after the Watford game?
So I'm not a real fan because I'm not getting carried away with Can? For me he daudles on the ball a lot and can slow down our play, he's only young and hopefully will improve this part of his game as other than that the rest of his game is quality and he's a physical beast.
