It’s not striking at all. Look at what I said in pre season regarding our shape and press

We are miles to slow to get back into a box press style formation having lost possession. This makes it easy to break us down and eliminate multiple players with one pass. When we lose possession we must get back into shape. Look at Liverpool yesterday and they did it incredibly well, limiting Arsenal to long range efforts as they couldn’t find the route through. Chelsea cut through us like butter as did Liverpool and I spotted the problem in the Toulouse match saying on here that Salah and Mané would thrive on us playing like that defensively. And they did.
