A slap in the face that the manager, players and supporters probably needed and deserved. The league is tough and our great start, and long unbeaten run, shouldn't lead to the complacency we saw today. I'm sure Ange will knock a few heads together and get them firing for the 13 games between 1st October and the World Cup break in November.
Hart needs to be more commanding when high balls come into the box. Mooy is great to come on for the last half hour and help see a game out but probably too slow to start, and also playing Turnbull meant there was no tempo to our play from midfield. Welsh is 4th choice centre half for a reason, a massive drop in standard compared to CCV or Starfelt. Abada or Maeda not both, both rely on pace to get in behind defences but if they are playing so deep then they are little threat.
After 7 games we are 8 points better off than last season so still an excellent start to the season. We now need to bounce back and go on another 30+ unbeaten run of league games.
