Is any of this new/surprising/worse than the last ten years? I dont think it is.
Our midfield has never looked as bad as it did in the Liverpool game, no matter how badly we played.

And in the past we've had injury excuses, new player excuses etc. Xhaka/Ramsey is his chosen pair and they were so dysfunctional it is worth commenting on.

Add in the absurdity of Ox being on the pitch and Bellerin at LWB instead of Saed and you have something pretty exceptional, even within the context of the last 7 years or so.
