Four matches into Luis Enrique's Spain tenure, it's hard to know which version of the national team is the real one.
There has been a lot of good, but also some bad, such as the first 45 minutes against England on Monday.
There will be one more competitive fixture before the end of the year, with La Roja visiting Croatia in Zagreb to round off their UEFA Nations League group campaign.
Until then, though, the doubts remain.
Spain started life under their new coach with clear ideas and by scoring goals while suggesting they had remembered how to stop conceding them.
However, the first half of the England match saw Spain concede their third, fourth and fifth goals under the Asturian, with the players all of a sudden pressuring poorly, being inaccurate and looking susceptible to England's counter attacks.
There was Jekyll-and-Hyde change in the second half in Seville, as Spain almost pulled off a comeback, but even this second half wasn't all positive.
They had 72 percent possession, returning to the days of abusing the ball and not being as direct or clinical as Luis Enrique wants them to be.
The improvement wasn't enough and their dominance of possession wasn't able to overcome Gareth Southgate's men.
The optimistic fans will look at the first three matches and the pessimists at the latter.
It's difficult to know which Spain to trust in for the future, but what is clear is that when they've been good they've been very good and when they've been bad they've been very bad.
