I agree with your points.That was uncomfortable. The team lacks energy, some of our players looked exhausted at the end of that. I hope we can get 3/4 changes at least for the City game.
Leno made a wonderful reflex save to keep the score at 0-0, we wouldn't have won if we'd gone behind, so he redeemed himself for the Olympiakos shocker. Saka looked the likeliest source of danger but sort of fizzled out. Ceballos had a few goes at driving us forward.
Nketiah wasn't providing much up front - neither creating, nor offering himself, nor holding he ball - and consigning Auba to the left where he was fairly anonymous. The only good thing that came of it was that Lacazette was energetic when eh came on and eager to prove a point and he did.
Özil had a few lovely touches but lacked energy (even by his standards).
It's worrying when teams like West Ham come to the Emirates and enjoy periods of domination.
That VAR call was agonising. At last we got one called our way.
Our problems are quite clear, so hopefully we get to the summer safe and sound 4th position. We need to improve our midfield very quickly. It is dire at the moment.
Also, we need to get a left winger so we can have Auba up front.
