'Steady defense and attacking buzz'

South Americans in Suffolk; they were all the rage over the weekend.

Quite a few make the conversation list. Brazilian Emersonn, who scored on his Premier League debut, offered an industrious, clever display in Ipswich's forward line. For someone of his age playing at this level for the first time, I thought he grew into the game nicely after his goal.

Then there was the Ecuadorian Nilson Angulo's free-kick for Sunderland, which was very special. The pace was too much even for the wingspan of the giant Kjell Scherpen in the Ipswich goal.

But the best player on the pitch - in my opinion - was Julio Enciso. The most expensive of all of Ipswich's recruits, but the Paraguayan looked every inch the business at Portman Road on Saturday. A crowd pleaser, a creator, a force of energy and enthusiasm; he was the point of difference. It'll help Enciso that he has an existing relationship with Ipswich Town, and he certainly played like he felt at home.

These are early days, but Ipswich had a balance about them that perhaps wasn't there when they were last in the Premier League. Defensively, they looked steady, but there's an exciting buzz about their forward line. And it feels like Enciso could be front and centre of that.
