I think we thoroughly deserved defeat simply because we hadn't lost any of our previous twenty-two games. That's football, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Especially, as you say, with one or two question marks over key positions.

Yes but we need a 'footballer' in goal and not a goalkeeper. Unai won't mind a few disasters like yesterday if he can pass it out from the back nicely.

To get a goalkeeper that can also play football (Allison, Kepa, De Gea, Ederson etc) means an outlay of £60m+ these days which we cannot afford.
