Agree with Drewks about Bartley,  actually thought he was our best player today and I'm not his biggest fan.  Although have to disagree about Sawyers. Yes he was better in the second half, but overall he didn't convince me. I actually thought Livermore had a decent game, more of the 'enforcer' we need in the middle.
Bilic still needs to address left back position and I cant for the life of me work why Johnston stood and watched the first goal go in.

Livermore does deserve a shout out for his running today, he was the one still running forward at the end and trying to offer an out ball. He even ran past Phillips a couple of times and he had only just came on!

Bartley and Ajayi were both better today I think. I do feel Bartley should've been out slightly quicker to Hudson Odoi for his goal, but generally, he looked much better. Took his goal well.

Sawyers just seemed more up for it today than usual IMO. He typically relies on interceptions rather than tackles, but today he was putting a foot in. Also there was an occasion in the first half where he headed it in a scenario where he would've tried to bring it down in every other game. Not sure if he is realising he will have less time on the ball at this level or if he's been told, but he definitely seemed different.

Ironic that on the day we defend better, Johnstone decides to get up his old tricks... It's not the first time he's been routed when tested from range. If Button is half decent, he needs to come in next week...
