Performance Analysis: Smithrow Shines, Trussard Disappoints, and Team Declines

In this episode we look back on the dismal end to 2023, as Arsenal put in their worst performance of the season to lose 2-1 to Fulham. We discuss the team selection, starting as well as we did and not building on it, the pace of our passing, how the manager's substitutions only made things worse in the second half, some individuals, the goals we conceded, and how quickly the table, and the mood, can change over the festive period. We also talk about whether this performance was one people saw coming or something more anomalous. Then there are questions about whether or not we can win the title, Mikel Arteta himself, Thomas Partey and his AFCON absence, set-piece/corner variation and lots more.

Happy New Year everyone.
