Just watched the highlights of the game so I could see what all the moaning was about.
Kone - for the first, he wasn't switched on but he was static, Sanchez come in with pace and that'll always give him an advantage. Not the best defending but not anything uncommon, it happens to the best defenders.
Adnan & Dong should have hacked down Sanchez for the 2nd, in the build up, then Kone & Djilobodji were ball watching for the cross, Giroud with a sublime finish though, after the ball was played behind him.
Djilobodji lost his marker for the third, I think Jones made it two on one vs Giroud but again, if they've got pace on you there's only one winner... poor defending.
The fourth is a joke, players jogging, not interested, defence has no organisation, they are not in formation just wandering around... it was a farce of a goal, Pickford simply has to be commanding that back line and there has to be something from Kone or Djilobodji in terms of organisation too. That was a mess.

Look where PVA is, and no he isn't sprinting to get to Giroud, he's barely jogging... just watching. If that ball goes to Giroud it's hat-trick time and PVA is getting shredded for that. As it is, his other team mates helped him out by being disorganised and **** and not putting in any effort either, so he just sort of blends in.
This is what I mean by squad depth, these players know they're not getting dropped no matter what happens out there, you've got nobody to replace them with.
