First half reminded a bit of Burnley, which makes the 2nd gratifying. Some real character shown to dig deep on the road and engineer a fightback. Those 5-1 results will be few and far between, but to win these tightly-fought games rather than lose or draw, well that is what separates the best teams from the rest.
Karius. Did he come back too soon? Definitely not looking like the same keeper we saw in preseason. Of course the intensity of the matches and the opposition are different as well. Hoping he gets sorted soon. that last ball in from Swansea, when Karius started to come off his line and then froze, just about caused cardiac arrest here.
I still believe he's a top-quality keeper, but he didn't look it today.
But he/we will get it right soon enough.
