Match Dynamics: A Tactical Analysis

In this episode we look back at Sunday's disappointing 1-1 draw with Man Utd at Old Trafford. Arsenal failed to turn first half dominance into chances, and fell behind to a Bruno Fernandes free kick, before Declan Rice equalised late in the second half. We analyse the performance, our continuing issues when we face a low block and how much that is actually a consequence of how we play rather than an opposition tactic. There's also discussion of the heroics of David Raya as the Gunners keeper made a string of saves to ensure we didn't lose the game, Rice's goal and fantastic tackle, Kieran Tierney's cameo as an attacking sub, as well as listener questions about Mikel Arteta and his post-match interview, our lack of threat from direct free kicks, the remainder of the season from a Premier League perspective, the imminent appointment of Andrea Berta as Sporting Director, and lots more.
