I only saw the first half, but I thought we looked rather fine going forward.

Clearly Xhaka was having a 'mare and Ozil hasn't really got going yet, but overall it seemed to me that we were heading for a relatively routine victory.

What went wrong?

Every time we lost the ball (and we decided to do that a lot) everybody was out of position. This was very nearly a problem several times in the first half that you watched. In the second half we managed to combine that with about three mistakes at once to gift them a goal.

All the chances we created either fell to Wellbeck (say no more) or found a referee/linesman who was blind to a foul but managed to spot offsides that were not there.

Its no disaster. Just a standard defeat we have seen many, many times before over the last 12 years. Another to come next weekend.

Two more years to go…..

Poor Welbs looks pretty sharp except in front of goal.

Exactly. If he could actually score from where he was shooting from on Saturday, he would have stayed at Manchester United and would probably even be on his way to Real Madrid by now and we wouldn't have paid all that money for Lacazette either.
