Welcome to playing against a top player, Joe Gomez.
Learn from it.
Yeah, he got targeted as a weak defensive link, and Sanchez skinned him a few times, but he just switched off for a second, and that's all it takes at this level.
Ditto Robertson; if you're coming narrow, check you have cover outside first.
To be fair, that shot from Xhaka swerved, and dipped viciously, BUT I'd still expect a good keeper to save that.
I've said it since he came here; Migs is a #2 not a starter.
Lovren and Klavan did well.
A bit deeper line, support from midfield to pick up the 2nd ball, and they were comfy, for the most part.
If I was being hyper critical, I'd say that Lovren should have got closer when Lacazette was tugging his shirt before the backheel. but really that's just getting to a silly stage of being critical.
Henderson going off early changed our whole gameplan, and not for the better, although Milner did OK.
Firmino was fabulous yet again.
What a player.
It's a good point, but it feels like less after being 2-0 up.
sh*t happens, we go again.
