    We didn’t lose this game when we went 2-1 down. At that point we had the run of play but were less effective than United at putting our chances away. There was still the opportunity to equalise and I didn’t feel this was done as a contest.

    Then comes the triple substitution. At that point we lost our shape, impetus and composure. At that point we had thrown the game and went on to immediately concede the goal that ended the game as a contest. We went from having balance of play to damage limitation.

    The team he put out there for the final twenty minutes mirrored Arteta’s public display of loss of composure. There is no way anyone who watched that can’t come to the conclusion that the loss and the manner of it wasn’t down to Arteta.

    Yeah this.

    The triple substitution killed us, Arteta panicked and the team basically lost complete focus.

    However as others have stated, we had plenty of chances both at 1-1 and 2-1, any of those go in and we are probably having a totally different conversation.
