I am a bit disappointed with the result, having got in front, but if you had offered me 10 points and top before the season, I would have taken it. In past years we have often started slowly and come to life in the second half, but we seem to be the other way round at the moment. I don't think that on the whole we have played particularly well apart from odd patches so far this season, so to be in the position we are in is a great start.
Our fading at around the 60 minute mark is a bit of a concern - fitness or playing to instructions?
I personally thought that Sakho was a bit dodgy on the night, but it does take defenders more time to settle to the pace of the EPL, and he did show some very composed touches - but needs to stay on his feet a bit more.
Nice goal from Moses and that will do him a world of good, but would like to see him more involved, as I didn't think he did much else.
