It frustrates me how the Unsullied are set up as the greatest fighters Dany could get but they just got their arse handed to them pretty bad.

They aren't exactly equipped for guerrilla urban warfare.

This will bug the shite out of me for a while...

The Unsullied are supposed to be the most disciplined fight force in Essos, but a group of untrained dbags in masks show up with knives and they all break formation and do their own shite.

This was an issue of mine as well. Though they are set up for battle on the field and not close quarters melee.

A spear is a terrible close quarters weapon. A lesser fighter with a small blade only has to dodge one lunge and it's game over.

A great army doesn't necessarily translate to great fighters when not in their ranks and in close quarters.

I think we're also underestimating the prowess of the Sons of the Harpy. It's likely some of those guys are trained guards that have been aligned, and trained for defense, by the greater houses in Meereen. And we know they're also known for their fighting pits.
