Episode notes
Semenyo: Elite Counter-Attack Weapon
- Antoine Semenyo is currently Bournemouth's most impactful player and central to their counter-attacking success.
- He combines two-footed shooting with high shot volume, making him unusually dangerous from tight angles.
Europe Fixtures Stretch Palace's Depth
- Crystal Palace's heavy match load and Europa Conference travel likely contributed to second-half fatigue.
- Palace still create many big chances, but European fixtures strain squad legs.
Exploit Impact Substitutes
- Rotate and trust impact substitutes rather than relying solely on starters to carry form.
- Use Beto-like bench options to change the game's rhythm and bring fresh attacking dynamics.
