The whole side was hobbled by Arteta's bizarre tactics, the Califiori/Trossard sub was designed for being 1-0 up, he should have abandoned that and subbed Timber instead to give us more if a chance to retake the lead.

I'm betting City would still have gone on and won that game
See I’ve been thinking about this, and not sure where I fall down. On balance a side that wants to win the title should be trying to go for the win even with less players on the pitch. But at same time, it can be argued that a team with the pace of Brighton could have taken us apart on the counter (arguably they did) and we lacked the squad depth or finishers to make it a worthwhile gambit.

So basically I’m saying I don’t know and I can see it both ways
