EMC was more direct on Saturday than he was 90% of last season. Thought he looked way more like the player we expected.
still no perfect and some of his decision making is *laboured* but there is definitely a player in there.
I think some people are underestimating the fact this is the first really season of genuine continuity in a while.
Typically lost 2-3 important players every summer and not really replaced, but this year (so far) that's not happened.
