We are a mess defensively! Everyone just seems to be running around and there's no like proper defensive organization!

It is a bit worrying. Our pressing also need work, it only looks good when we won the ball otherwise it was a nightmare. The only good thing is Kante is not playing. 

Offensively, hopefully like you said gladbach play a more conservative defense so we can test our offense against a deeper backline

Some big time positives (Pulisic, Barkley, Emerson) but also some big time concerns.

As great as we looked on the break, we looked really poor with the ball in possession. Just constantly playing sloppy passes and giving the ball away. We also really struggled against their high energy pressing. That for me is the biggest concern. Loads and loads of teams all over Europe play that way now, even the smaller sides. 

Luiz was probably our worst player. He looked like the Sideshow Bob version of Luiz that other fans make fun of him for. Really poor decision making.

I just have to assume our defending will improve drastically with Kante back in. I hope so, anyways.

The Good

No sign of Bakayoko, Drinkwater, 

Pulisic, Pedro and Abraham pressed well, attacked well on the counter, Pedro goal was excellent and worth seeking out

Barkley had another good game, took a good pen as well

Devastating counters

No injuries, decent run-out for most

The Bad

Shaky defense, midfield. Struggled to break their press at times

Mixed day out for Zouma at CB

Not sure if the team can afford to be so open at the back in the league

Set piece goal conceded again

Zappacosta comes on and concedes penalty
