I think for me apart from Araujo's undoubted quality is the spirit and determination he's brought into the team / squad. He seems the sort of player who won't tolerate anything less than full commitment and it's rubbed off on others.
The upturn in team spirit compared to last season is without doubt something Iraola has tried to Harness which was shown with his little cuddle with Isak on Tuesday when Wirtz scored and It's something Slot never would do and their was an aloofness about him which seemed to seep into the squad.
Coming from behind against Brentford & Villarreal would not have happened last season and although we've still a lot to work on in terms of a full 90 minute performance this spirit will stand us in good stead going forward. If we can strengthen the midfield in January there is a good young squad ready to challenge big time next season.

Honestly with a bit of luck with injuries i think we can already challenge this season ?.
{Ed666's Note - A title challenge this season would be so cool, supplemented with an addition or two in January.

Probably a Uruguayan thing, Suarez and Nunez was the same.

Anyone who's seen them singing their national anthem in the World Cup knows what they're all about.
