I actually think there were quite a few positives.
First of all, I thought we had the ball more and were more consistently threatening. Richarlison looked dangerous even without any legit support from Baines and Sandro's quality isn't there, but you could see with Walcott or even Lookman out there, Coleman will have space to attack.
Second of all, their opportunities came off the counter, which frankly, Siliva will probably do more of in the league so I doubt we'll be pushing up quite as much as we are right now. However, the two goals were awful. I think it's interesting trying to play Keane on the left and Jags on the right, and while I'm pleasantly surprised about Keane's passing, he completely whiffed and/or was out of position on the second goal. The first goal...my heavens. Baines and Jags missed the ball completely and Stek was hosed.
The center backs are beyond bad and Baines isn't farther off. Two CBs and Digne solve that however, so I'm still hopeful. A decent center back to get on the end of yet again a couple of perfect free kicks by Siggy is also likely.
Morgan and Gana also do not need to play together. Morgan cannot recover if he pushes up and frankly, has no idea what he's doing in the final third. A better CM like Zakaria or Doucoure that can push forward transforms this midfield. But I have no problems with Gana's passing. Frankly, with the exception of going a bit high to Coleman at the end, his passing range was excellent and him switching fields was critical to our attack. He's going to have an outstanding season, but him and Morgan together is pointless.
Sooooo...I'm still hopefully that we get the players in that will make the difference. I have absolutely no problem with the tactics, it's obvious what we are trying to do, just need better players to execute it.
