Firstly, can you please make thread titles descriptive and not in caps.

Secondly, it is extremely unlikely that arsenal played exactly the same tactics against you twice in a row. While it is very possible they played the same formation the actual tactics that the AI employs within these formations varies considerably; so it is entirely possible that having (by your own admition) played the same tactics all year, they figured out how to beat you, as any half compotent manager would IRL.

What i would find much more concerning is the utterly stupid amounts of goals in 2 cup finals. Can anybody tell me the last time 7 goals were scored in a CL final or 8 in an FA cup final? Come on SI, finals are (generally) tightly contested affairs, nothing like this.
