Overall, I think Sarri is doing very well. Think we've got away with it a few times, but it's clearly a work in progress and we're a bit further ahead of where I thought we would be.

Bit worried about his inflexibility tactically, he's just never going to adjust it is he (irrespective of what's happening) and his subs are like for like (not unusual in an Italian...).

Main areas for improvement at the moment are the defence (only Rudiger gets in at the moment, the rest have been ropey on and off all season) and we clearly need a decent centre forward. Willian and Pedro will do for this season, but beyond next season we need decent replacements (not sure CHO is one of them, we'll see).

Also worried about Jorginho against the better sides - Good going forward, but anonymous defensively - Look at how easily Pogba kept brushing him aside in the second half on Saturday.

All in all a decent start, but once the fixtures start piling up in December and we get a couple of injuries, that'll be when the fun really starts.
