My takeaways from last night were that the defence was not the problem - which may seem odd to read, but we got mugged by two clever balls into a smart runner (the first was from a freekick  that shouldn't have been given and was then deflected away from the keeper; the second was eminently stoppable). The key issue last night - as many others have said - was the lack of intensity and the final ball / finishing; Guessand lacking finesse and intelligence did not help.

And should have been called offside as two players blocked off ours whilst in offside positions, thus making them actively offside,  leaving the runner in a lot more space to control the ball.
