Tactical Breakdown: Arsenal vs. Brighton

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie analyse Arsenal’s 4-2 defeat to Brighton on Monday that leaves them needing a point against Manchester United on the final day to seal 2nd place. They talk about Arsenal’s issues with Brighton’s press, familiar vulnerabilities to pace and power through the middle of the team, as well as the trade-off between greater fluidity and chance creation under Renee Slegers but greater vulnerability to counter-attacks. In the second half, there are questions about the goalkeeping situation, how to defend better against counter attacks and whether there is a mentality issue with conceding goals in clusters.
