They look ok. Didn't have Benteke at the time though, and looked shit at the time. You won 1-0 at home, and 1-0 at home vs. Sunderland too.. I don't think you look that consistent, but a win is a win, and your defense look to be the real deal. And I agree.. 4-0 at Stoke was an impressive result too.
Still, like you say, it's early days. You're doing well, and I understand your optimism, but I'm not sure yet, how strong you are. If I were to predict top4 right now, you would be in it, but it changes all the time.
The truth is we struggled a bit against Palace, what I'm happy with is Poch is notorious for destroying his players in pre-season and we had the most players at the Euros. Meaning we were effectively doing our pre-season during the early weeks and we looked extremely tired against Everton, Palace and Liverpool but picked up what we needed to get some momentum.
Sunderland was the epitome of a 1-0 massacre and Middlesboro away should have been 3 or 4 nil at half-time.
We are playing well now but our big challenge is going to be consistency of performances, can we do it week on week and not throw away some ridiculous points like we did last season.
Such a long way to go and at this stage I would still be happy with another top 4 finish, if we can do that it's another building block in place.
