Agree with all that.
Rudiger has been excellent hasn't he, possibly future captain material imo - regarding the defence, I still have high hopes for Christensen, an think sarris style of football will suit him. I'm now wondering where azpi's best position is, might it be CB, even in a back 4? Alonso has done pretty well at LB this season, but what the fcuk was he doing on the deck Saturday for their goal.
On the midfield - whilst I know jorginho is sarri's main man and crucial to the way he wants to play, as mad as it sounds, im not sure I'd pick him in my midfield 3, especially in big games. Kante holding, with kovacic and Barkley I think would be more solid and give us more of a goal threat from midfield. Fairplay to Barkley who is impressing so far this season.
A winger is definitely needed next summer, even if hazard stays.
As for the strikers - as we all know, this is a big problem. I wish we'd kept batshuayi in the summer. I think it's worth looking at Pedro in this role now, but we're light on wingers.
So far so good with kepa too, seems a much more likeable bloke than big nose!
On the whole, very impressed with the start we've made, room for improvement and once we get a decent striker, we'll be a decent side.
