No heart, no passion, no effort.
Losing 50-50 challenges and making silly mistakes due to the lackadaisical attitude especially in the 2nd half. Outside of Sanchez, Coq, Mustafi and Kos non of the starters really bothered (looking at you Theo, Özil etc). El Neny tries but just doesn't have the quality to start in a game of this scale. Theo was flat on offense and defense (he even admitted it in the post-game).
Felt Wenger got it all wrong this game (outside the AOC for Jenks obviously). Set it up too negatively and it permeated to the players. Coq and El Neny should never start together. Ramsey on the left was a bit safer but we really missed Iwobi linking up with Sanchez and Özil. Even more-so without Cazorla or Xhaka in the midfield. Nobody showed any movement ahead of the ball. Thought he needed to make the changes earlier, could have prevented the goal.
The only positive today was the moment of quality from AOC and Giroud that saved us and prolonged the lease on the title contention.
