Well, De Zerbi has put out what appear to be unusual team before and it has worked, so I don't think that was the issue.
I wonder if De Zerbi will change tactics slightly things for the next game though...
I'm not sure I agree with this. Villa are one of our more direct rivals, likely to be battling for the lower European spots.
To lose, isn't the end of the world, neither is to lose 6-1, but this is one game where a result would have been looked for.
