With such a weakened team, the formation was the real problem. I think it was trying to get your best players into the team, rather than pick the best team to play the match. The warning signs were there against Watford that we're liable to get over-run in midfield with it. Sure enough..
Saka was brilliant, best player on the pitch, really, but not backed up by his teammates. That back-heeled nutmeg at the start of the second half was filth.
The forward line had no real service, but BTA and Wright were very poor. The less said about Woolfenden's night the better.
