Episode notes
Collective Defensive Control
- Arsenal dominate through collective defensive control rather than drama or flair.
- Their ability to keep opponents at arm's length creates many routine wins and low-threat games.
Set Pieces As A Reliable Weapon
- Set pieces have become a repeatedly decisive weapon for Arsenal this season.
- Declan Rice's delivery and Gabriel's timing make corners near-inevitable scoring chances.
Precautionary Sub For Jokarez
- Viktor Jokarez provided a standout first-half performance then left with a muscular niggle at halftime.
- Arteta likely substituted him risk-averse to protect forward options for upcoming fixtures.
