Tactical Turmoil: Substitutions and Miscommunication

In this episode we look back at the 1-0 defeat to West Ham on Saturday, a defeat which has more or less ended any already slim chance we had of the Premier League title. We chat about how the team struggled to make chances, as well as the goal we conceded – one which really angered Mikel Arteta – before we analyse his odd substitutions, in particular the very early withdrawal of Declan Rice for Oleksandr Zinchenko. Then we discuss the red card for Myles Lewis-Skelly, the absence of Jorginho for any period of the game, before answering questions about how the manager gets his players motivated again, whether top four is at risk, Martin Odegaard and his current form, the continued search for a sporting director, and lots more.
