Good article agree with all of the above. Not sure Lamela can be assessed i can't even remember his last game.
Dembele has fitness problems and Dier has been pushed out of DM by Wanyama who has been excellent. Dier is not a CB in a 2 but has done okay in a back 3.
Kane has only really scored tap ins this year and has looked out of sorts compared to his incredible standards set in previous seasons.
Regarding Walker/Rose/Lloris/Vertonghen agree with your assessments, unbelievable how far Rose and Walker have come under Poch.

Disagree about Lamela as thought he was pretty good start of the season.
Sure he got a couple goals and assists before disappearing.
Will be good to have him back
Yeah maybe harsh on Lamela, forgot about his CL assists actually
I'd go with your breakdown of individuals Analog. How about as a team, have we regressed or progressed?
I'd lean towards the former as things stand. Think we've been pretty dire up until recently. The CL campaign was a shambles and seeing it in person has probably amplified the experience.
Another half of season to go though and things are looking on the up
Minor improvements to Trippier, who has done well of late whenever he has come in, and Vorm who came in and did a fantastic job when Lloris left.
I thought we werent great by this stage last season Luka.
People forget how poor we looked during our unbeaten run last year.
It was this time last year that we really started to wow teams.
We lost 2-1 at home to Newcastle in the league last season, the game after the last European group game (equivalent to when we lost 1-0 to United this time out)
If you went back to articles then I would guess people were not too happy with us then

This is true. Only after losing to Newcastle at home did we stop drawing and went onto a decent run, if memory serves me correct

Correct. first 15 games W6D8L1. Then we lost to NUFC at WHL. 26 points. 5th place.
After that, next 15 games W11D2L2. 35 pts. 2nd place
Minor improvements to Trippier, who has done well of late whenever he has come in, and Vorm who came in and did a fantastic job when Lloris left.
