Even if the starting XI’s were swapped with each other, I don’t think there would’ve been a massive difference in the result of that game imo.
We’ve seen different faces in our starting XI over the past 3 years but that same pitiful performance always returns when it matters. Fair play to Tuchel as tactically he done a number on Arteta last night.
Think questions being asked about his run ins are more than fair, this is the third season in a row now.
April is the new February for Mikel, it seems.
He's done well overall, and post Dubai our football massively improved, but we are beginning to look like that pre-warm weather training team again, even if the sample size is a bit small and compact in its time span.
The pressure gets to this team and manager. The second half against Liverpool where we lost our nerves (iirc) comes to mind, as well.
