Well well well...
Not a good start, but not a shock either. Several important players injured and our squad starts to look a bit naff. Our strongest 11 would be a different proposition, but you can't rely on that when taking injuries into consideration.
Our midfield disappeared when Herrera went off, it was the same in pre-season. Fletcher was mostly atrocious, offered nothing going forward, didn't tackle much, didn't mark properly for the second goal. I thought Mata was poor too, but Januzaj was excellent, considering.
As everyone has been saying, we need to make signings and pay the premium for players. They are out there and they will come for the right price and the right wage. We shouldn't have to settle for this, it's ridiculous. I'm not sure what it's going to take...
