There was definitely intent, the midfield was just ******* terrible. Couldn't get the ball out early on.
Once we did get a few opportunities, they were too hesitant to play it to Lukaku or Werner, which is an issue we have had for way too long and something Sarri talked about - the team is too afraid to take the chance.
It was better after you conceded but up until the goal it wasn’t much more than a City training drill. City were always going to have most of the ball but I expected to see more threat on the counter like last season, especially with Lukaku there now.

The defence was probably more surprising though. It’s been so brilliant under Tuchel but City really picked it apart and that could’ve easily been 4 or 5.
 
Soft pen, but Kabak shouldn't have his leg dangling out.
It's how the game is really these days. You cannot make any contact, especially with VAR.
