Have you never dialled in a performance in your job even when you’ve had the best intention to provide the best service possible?. Have you ever had a tricky task either at work or doing some home improvement where if you make a mistake it could be costly and for some reason that’s made you particularly hesitant?

There’s no amount of money you can pay a person that cuts out that human factor. In football especially it takes only one or two people to stink out the place before it has a knock on effect on the team. And sometimes the harder you try the worse you end up performing.

We weren’t at the races yesterday, that’s not acceptable. I hope Arteta gave them a bollocking for it….(whilst looking at himself for anything he did that contributed to it). But disgusting and hateful….adjectives a bit too far for me
No, I haven't ever "dialled in a performance" because I work for myself so I'd be the victim of it. Have I been hesitant when faced with major tasks? Of course. Has that made me take twice the time to execute it? No. Maybe it'd take twice the time overall because I spent a lot of time planning. But the execution would be efficient thereafter. If I take somebody's money and deliver something substandard I have robbed them. Which would be disgusting, hateful and embarrassing - and terminal in terms of that relationship btw. I don't get the luxuries these players abuse.

What would happen if everybody "dialled it in"? Well, we saw it against Palace.
