Episode notes
Early Kickoff Energy
- Early kickoffs can lack energy, especially after breaks.
- This can be due to various factors like crowd energy or time of day.
First Half Performance
- Arsenal's first half was described as 'turgid'.
- This was partly due to adapting to a different playing style without Kai Havertz.
Midfield Concerns
- While the front three's performance could be critiqued, the bigger concern was the midfield's performance.
- Arsenal's play was 'labored' and 'pedestrian' behind the attackers.
