Was too pissed off to post when I got home from the game last night. Abysmal performance of the highest order.
Ospina - Whether he could have saved the 1st goal probably not but wtf with the reaction? The 3rd goal was saveable imo, bring back Scz. I've been saying this for weeks now.
Gibbs - Wow wtf. Thought he was awful in all facets of the game. I'm a big Gibbo fan as well, but Monreal definitely coming back in after this.
BFG - Terrible game. Rolled the dice for the 2nd goal, and lost badly. His lack of pace is always a problem, but really stood out today.
Koscielny - meh, not massively at fault for anything but not a great performance.
Bellerin - Wasn't great. Gave the ball away a lot I thought. Neither him nor Gibbs offered much offensively.
Coq - Possibly his worst game of the season. Gave the ball away as well, was close to getting sent off with some rash tackles.
Cazorla - Gave the ball away a lot! the general theme. Didn't commandeer anything, had a couple of usual Santi trick moments though.
Welbeck - Great pace and strength to create that chance, then the finishing let him down. Ok performance, tried.
Ozil - I try not to criticise Mesut too much, as he can be great to watch but when his passing is off and his flicks aren't working, he offers NOTHING. He doesn't look like he cares out there or is ever up for a big occasion game. The ultimate luxury player who, imo, when the chips are down, doesn't offer what we need.
Sanchez - Duracell still has his legs, but just isn't impacting the games at the moment like we know he can do. Also giving the ball away a lot. Frustrating, need him to hit some form again.
Giroud - Less said the better. Absolutely shocking performance, the return of the donkey. Missed a sitter, and another chance he probably should have buried. Touch was worse than Sanogo's. I just hope his confidence isn't smashed after getting subbed off like that. Shame as he'd been in amazing form.
Subs - Walcott couldn't get into the game, maybe should have scored? Rozza was ok. The Ox scored a goal, but everything else he did was fkn terrible, including a mistake leading to their last goal.
I'm still really pissed off we've blown a chance to get through. We probably weren't going to win the whole thing i guess. Hope this team shows a massive response in the Everton game.
