“After that (Southampton defeat), we promised ourselves to come out of that comfort zone and be a bit more focused, especially about what comes first, our defensive work, and not just for the back four,” the German said.
Wojciech Szczesny and Kieran Gibbs lost their places to David Ospina and Nacho Monreal respectively, changes which would eventually contribute to an upturn in form. We only lost three times in all competitions following that game and our Champions League ambitions were resurrected.
