Agreed, it's very impressive to watch at times.

 

I do think Davis has been a bit lax now and again but he, Jack and Kamara are really good to watch when we build from deep.  Their awareness and vision are excellent and when Davis plays well, he's the one to find the trickier, attacking pass.

Davis is excellent at times but also very frustrating at times that he takes the option to slow the game down when a quick pass is screaming out to punish the opponents..

Only saw bits of the game, excellent result. My main takeaway is Ojo again. 2 assists and another goal. I’m going to continue my Ojo goal count and confirm that his total of 4 goals now puts him only two behind the full season total of the man he replaced Kent. And it’s the 15th of August ? Ojo has added goal threat to our team, he doesn’t play as a winger he plays as a forward and we badly needed that. And he’s by no means the finished article, he can be wasteful. But he’s finding the back of the net often enough despite that. 

 

Katic. This seems to be a recurring theme and I’m beginning to think we need Helander fit asap and Gerrard knew exactly what he was doing signing him. Ok Flanagan takes a lot of the blame for the goal conceded, slack pass that allowed them in behind him. But the inexperience and poor decision making involved in deciding to leave your man open in the 6 yard box while you go and attempt to block a cross from out wide,  an almost impossible task anyway, no wonder Goldson was furious. The “Katic is our best CB” myth needs to end, he’s a good player that we need to develop. Goldson is our best centre back and we need to get Helander in the team because Katic is making costly mistakes in every game right now. He gets off with a lot of them but he’s cost us several goals already this season.

Great goal; during the game I didn't really notice Jack's excellent tackle that won possession initially.  A goal with three assists.

Davis just oozes class; the blue Iniesta. No better player for Jack to learn from.

I though Davis did well at times but faded badly as the game entered the final quarter and was caught in possession more times than is healthy. As for Jack, the loss of control of the ball after he went off probably suggests he's currently the keystone of our midfield, not Davis.
