First problem was Sissoko not closing down Atsu quick enough, which drew Toby over and out toward him, which in turn pulled Sanchez across. As Lescott said at half time, their distances were right. As Sanchez moves across, as he should, he motions to Rose, who just doesn’t follow. He’s the one who can see everything and he just doesn’t react until after it’s too late.
If the midfield closed down earlier though, none of this happens.
