Alot of it was clearly rustiness or plain carelessness.
RVP fluffed some simple lay-offs. Arshavin, as ridiculous as he can be sometimes, often plays good final balls but monged up easy ones today. And Gervinho also messed up when he had time and space. If even one or two of these easy passes had been made, there wouldn't be so much

about our creativity. Ramsey did have a poor game though. If we're like this over the next few weeks, then it will be a worry. We barely created anything in the first game at Liverpool last year either.
