shopify.com/Arseblog. Hello

1:32

and

1:36

welcome to another episode of the Arsenal

1:38

Women Arsecast on arseblog.com with apologies that

1:40

we have another episode in quite a

1:42

while, in five and a half weeks.

1:45

That is a mixture of the

1:47

fact that when you cover the women's and the men's team,

1:49

this tends to be a very, very busy time of year.

1:52

But also if I'm being absolutely

1:54

frank, since we did our Comte

1:56

Cup celebration podcast in early April,

1:59

it Hasn't been a H... Oh lot to talk about

2:01

A don't think from an oscar winning perspective

2:03

so I'm you know we probably should have

2:05

done the full cost in that time thought.

2:08

There. Was nothing really kind of going on

2:10

in the seasons been as we thought

2:12

we would. Kind of fumbling to a

2:14

conclusion, but we're coming up to the

2:17

fun part now. Let everyone really really

2:19

likes which is kind of transfer season

2:21

in the summer and will talk a

2:23

little bit about i'm not quite generally

2:25

about what the summer she should and

2:27

my may look like who took a

2:29

little bit about the Manchester City game

2:32

or maybe the implications on the title

2:34

race and sex you listener questions as

2:36

one here to do that with the

2:38

is. Our intrepid awesome women Metropolis

2:40

or north of.com Aden Gibson I didn't

2:43

think so much for joining us again.

2:45

Thank you for having you back. Aden

2:48

the Man City game on Sunday.

2:51

I I had a real feeling we were

2:54

gonna win this. I'm.

2:56

Just. Because I felt like the record

2:58

against the biggest things been quite good

3:01

this season, I feel that a bit

3:03

of Murphy's law about the such repeating

3:05

city. Perhaps when it matters, the lucky.

3:09

And a kid fear Or the.

3:13

I don't think secure enough force to

3:15

the season pass size. I don't. I

3:18

just don't get the really scary vibes I

3:20

get from them the I've had from Chelsea

3:22

things in the past so I thought we'd

3:24

win this game. I didn't think would win

3:26

in the way we did. I. Know

3:28

there are awesome fans are

3:30

very conflicted feelings for out

3:33

this victory, particularly with what

3:35

unfolded a couple of hours

3:37

later. Kings Matter. How. Did

3:39

you expect your sins bathing

3:41

Manchester City? And potentially

3:43

going along fine for handing Chelsea. Certainly

3:45

very good shot at the title when

3:48

it looks over for them. Yeah,

3:51

I mean I think my

3:53

expectation so the city game

3:55

was that we would probably

3:57

get a drawer Ike attire

3:59

for. That would be because I would be

4:01

a good result for also a p I find

4:04

enough result for Manchester City up and so

4:06

when seen a equalize the eighty ninth minute I

4:08

thought okay awesome to serve this. Draw

4:10

that's a fair result and we get

4:13

to avoid those conflicting feelings about helping

4:15

out. Ah Chelsea which look it would

4:17

just be frankly very funny and the

4:19

Hayes and win anything and her last

4:21

season. and I think you always have

4:24

to hope for the thing that's very

4:26

funny. I'm. But. I agree like

4:28

I thought be would I saw also

4:30

would play all right I've also do

4:32

alright and city because of the record

4:35

in the big games and I'm. In

4:39

in the first half In In in that respect

4:41

as a little surprising just because also were very

4:43

much sort of on the backfoot and I mean

4:45

yes also will kind of playing well within their

4:48

own half that we as you know you pointed

4:50

out on the on the tactics post this week

4:52

really struggling to progress towards the final from there

4:54

are some good sitter a couple of good moments

4:57

in the final third with it just works. Good.

4:59

Decisions On So yeah, so I

5:01

think that was sort of. Soap.

5:04

Second half. A. Class or

5:06

okay We we deserve to get results. Get a

5:09

goal here. I think I even wrote that in

5:11

the match report. The also like got the goals

5:13

that they deserved. I'm. But.

5:16

Then yeah I think of like ultimately

5:18

I think like it's one thing we

5:20

can stop. His fans saw a saying

5:22

we don't want you know we want

5:24

awful to just get a troll we

5:26

just one also dropped points because we

5:28

don't on Chelsea to him but like

5:30

the players call the plays golf feel

5:32

that the manager com feel that lacks

5:34

really think that you're from the standpoint

5:36

of getting this record done. On

5:38

and getting that. Sort of like. you know that that

5:40

kind of. Ah, Academy

5:43

Stadium who do have a while back I

5:45

think that was. I think this is really

5:47

important for you know for next season. filipino

5:49

again and sending some belief that. We.

5:52

Can go to Manchester we can be city

5:54

there and you know when you look no

5:56

results. Can city the season with play three

5:58

games Ones who is. The last one

6:00

of them. The game that we lost is

6:02

probably one of our better performances against City,

6:05

but you know that's just that's just city

6:07

awful games, right? They're very tight. the very

6:09

marginal as a place like most, Chelsea off

6:11

against Been. One. Seems really good

6:13

and one teams just playoff the park.

6:17

Yeah, absolutely. I think my kind of maxim

6:19

about of cool games they should always be

6:21

true. The someone was wins by one Goldman

6:23

that was that was off this time. I'm

6:25

with you. I think that was. Of all

6:27

of the games in the run in, this

6:30

was the most valuable. because the authors. Really?

6:32

Guy like Bristol City at home.

6:34

you know, Times are lot

6:37

less to our home. You.

6:39

Got really expected to win those and when those

6:41

handily probably efforts in a way as well. And

6:43

I think the fact that. Awesome!

6:45

Did through we're adults in a while, just

6:48

through some of those bad vibes back. His.

6:50

Own the back of the I think

6:52

it was really important win this game

6:54

or not, I'm with you like I

6:56

don't think there's really such a thing

6:58

as my men some to bring into

7:00

a new season from says likes to

7:02

four months pranks like there's no momentum

7:05

that there is confidence and I think

7:07

one else and co why and unlike

7:09

the season no point. In.

7:11

The record against the other things in

7:13

there was such a former Manchester United

7:15

and not and Zoc foreign. I'm no

7:18

point to those games and site. this

7:20

is a really good bye we don't

7:22

even have to like. Successor.

7:24

You now have I seen was a lot. We don't

7:27

even have to do that next season like. Santa.

7:29

With I'd say might be enough if.

7:32

If if if we don't lose all

7:34

the other stupid points hum along the

7:37

way. but. Also. The the

7:39

whoever wins the league this season is

7:41

going to lose more than two games

7:43

which tells you that the league is

7:45

changing a bit. In. Terms

7:47

of i'm kind of the level. Of

7:50

competitiveness and I'd like to think the

7:52

champions will now perhaps of one day

7:54

like we had against West some them

7:56

points of them. A connoisseur of them.

7:59

Though. And and. Cause you know that So.

8:02

Yeah. It's to the who's who's your money on by

8:04

the way to actually gotten win the league now. I.

8:08

Said it's own Chelsea. I just

8:10

I think in this position Chelsea

8:12

gonna do what they need to

8:14

do and. I. Don't back

8:16

box going to get a single result. I.

8:20

I know they be on those united beat them in

8:22

in the Us a cop but. You.

8:24

Know, you know you know it's as a cup final?

8:26

Is that that's the end of that season, right? Those

8:29

players will be. I mean, okay, yeah, I don't think

8:31

they're going to get beaten like a nail bar. Chelsea,

8:35

Chelsea have the goal difference advances now.

8:37

an enormous see do something remarkable. Incessant

8:39

villa which can be given Phyllis defensive

8:41

issues could happen but I just think

8:43

Chelsea will see what they need to

8:45

do to to get it done. This

8:47

is. An

8:50

has perfected the ah he minutes

8:52

after saying it's over it's fact.

8:56

That. This is the absolute embodiment

8:58

of that mean hum yeah I

9:00

think city let them back in

9:02

and. Tuscan. I'm not from

9:04

the front, I'm an actor. I see.

9:07

I have to sign. A wasn't quite of

9:09

with the kind of it's over to

9:11

enough to I did sweet this last

9:13

week. Concept: like. They were

9:15

to six to the she put together

9:17

to reignite the site license. Be this

9:19

it would be city playing Austin to

9:21

Chelsea a home to Bristol. Sitting like

9:24

going out knowing many the goal difference

9:26

advantage of got the extra time I'm

9:28

on the teams that planes coming off

9:30

the back of the. I'm

9:32

I'm a thing so they can apply the same.

9:34

It's just lost the Us. I got fun on

9:37

the things. just one the ethical fun. Again

9:39

I think those are two six

9:41

to see to use. Quite frankly

9:44

I'm Sonya I had I think

9:46

it's a very much more chances

9:48

but I'm a particularly with City

9:50

without bombing sure things between of

9:52

my cocoa difference without on the

9:54

show sorry probably not gonna happen

9:56

but will say left left go

9:58

back to Austin. Then and

10:00

a lot people are understandably anxious

10:03

about contract extensions and and things

10:05

like that and such. Normal as

10:07

this this time of the season,

10:10

but obviously is the games growing

10:12

in the coverage is becoming thicker.

10:14

Like people get more anxious than.

10:17

You. Know usually these contracts on extended until the

10:19

very end the season. If you think back

10:21

to this time last year that Cat lakes

10:23

Freedom on on like they will win. Con

10:25

it down to the wire. As

10:28

I usually do before extensions were announced

10:30

who were those were a great quite

10:32

a while advances that there's a few

10:34

the or up a half months. I'm

10:37

a more snapback clear on contract so

10:39

I don't know like his lore of

10:41

invoices is up. And Sabrina

10:43

to Angelo lotta think she's gonna go

10:46

anyway like I am not clear on

10:48

those contracts to we definitely know of

10:50

this. Need him and Cineplex then? yes.

10:53

On am I guess let's take

10:55

them in some. Because

10:57

I think these it see players who I'd

10:59

say the majority of the somebody wants to

11:02

stay. Let's. Take with me

11:04

to my. First. Know again her

11:06

last contract when past and the final

11:08

game of the season and even that

11:11

final game the season. I think the

11:13

feeling was that she'd gotten. At

11:15

that point. Where. Are you

11:18

on? I'm safe

11:20

me tomorrow, and Arsenal in

11:22

extending. And I guess her.

11:25

Position. In the Squad as

11:28

it were compared to perhaps two years

11:30

ago. perhaps even further back than that

11:32

when I think we. Really

11:35

saw. Like one of the

11:37

greatest players to ever play women's football.

11:39

I don't think of that too much

11:41

of an exaggeration way. Are you on

11:43

this. I'm. Coming up regime you

11:45

want her to extends like how do

11:47

you see. Now how do you see this

11:50

playing up out. Yeah. How do you

11:52

see that made him Or an arsenal moment? He

11:55

I think it's a a complicated one

11:57

in part because I'm. It's

11:59

be in. Guess. So long

12:01

since we've seen Vs ah best you night

12:04

I think if you take her recovery from

12:06

her from the a cel injury I think

12:08

this is quite possibly the worst possible way

12:10

could have gone. sure of. Like.

12:12

Retiring at your you take the fact

12:14

that meet him as been quite public

12:16

about saying how she's been anxious about

12:18

you know about not trusting her body

12:20

I think she's quite clear about that

12:22

in the documentary and she had a

12:24

setback. Inrix in she on a

12:26

setback in the summer. she's haven't yet another

12:28

setback few months ago, so I think that's

12:31

been quite tough, and I think we just

12:33

haven't seen the best of the ads on.

12:35

Which. Makes that this sort of inflection

12:38

point of a contract ending quite. Difficult.

12:41

Because I think it's hard to actually

12:43

assess like you know is. If

12:46

it's quite hard to assess whether player

12:49

is because she's so coming back for

12:51

a quite serious long term injury and

12:53

it's hard to assess her role in

12:55

the squad and in and out because

12:57

injury arm. I

12:59

think just from the standpoint

13:02

of a position in the

13:04

team. When.

13:06

You're. A sizable kinda seems use a Sonics

13:09

in the forward. he since brought into centre

13:11

forwards and sooner bucks and is unless eerie

13:13

so so and he moved to to the

13:15

number ten position. I.

13:18

Think losing her to number ten position was

13:20

a bit of a marriage of convenience and

13:22

that he knew he had to get me

13:24

to my into the team box. Doesn't do

13:26

the things he wants has since afford to

13:28

do. On. A

13:30

sort of thing that was seen play out

13:32

again with with recent black Sunny Spot on.

13:34

So I think thousand was a marriage of

13:37

convenience and I think you know you look

13:39

at at the things that the mean much

13:41

as on the ball of he see she's

13:43

in a fantastic fantastic plans on and a

13:45

very creative player but I think you know

13:48

Jonas always looks of things that that a

13:50

player does off the born so in big

13:52

games. Last season when meet him a was

13:54

available like for example the on the way

13:56

Freedom Moon I'm salted there and. That.

14:00

To me is was of is a

14:03

pretty clear sign that even a safe

14:05

was a hub best he might not.

14:07

You know she might not start every

14:09

single games. and number ten. Now

14:12

granted we did see the season you know at the

14:14

beginning of of the of the year right he tried

14:17

to be term it's and plate resigned Meet him a

14:19

together i think in part to pursue his like weaver.

14:21

Yeah, that was when awful. really struggling

14:24

to break down deep lox and I

14:26

think. The. Thought process there was.

14:28

Let's get me to my into the team

14:30

because best back in the T v saw

14:32

have to sort of like. Will.

14:34

School and create goals out very little.

14:37

So let's get them back to the

14:39

team and make it work on. And.

14:42

You know an idea? I don't know if you can say it.

14:44

Really? Works that well or but

14:46

again that's really hard to assess because

14:49

it gets it fits. Is coming back

14:51

from a serious long term injury on

14:53

so I think you know in an

14:55

ideal world obviously should extend because. She.

15:00

Is really good player but. I.

15:02

Don't know for a not ideal world and

15:04

and I don't an inner and I think

15:06

you could also look at it as also

15:08

have a decision that they have to make.

15:10

They have to take the information that they

15:12

have available to them and they know more

15:14

about sort of. Websites are. Than.

15:16

Than I do right arm, And

15:19

then also I think there is a legitimate question

15:21

about how she fits into a night of Ahl

15:24

team and ultimately we seen in a she's not

15:26

really played a lot of last two seasons I

15:28

think we kind of scene while I'd have al

15:30

wants to do to an ideal world in big

15:32

games in finals in semi finals are not sure

15:35

if it's into that. Yeah

15:37

on so. I think

15:40

some I think sometimes it's even apply.

15:42

I moved past each other. And

15:46

or I have had such ceiling for

15:48

the love for the reasons he sets

15:50

out. Like to talk about how it's

15:53

clear that. She. Didn't

15:55

really do it. doesn't really do our youngest

15:57

ones from a number nine. Not

16:00

entirely sure as much different of number

16:02

san either, but you're right says she

16:04

sought you could. Like.

16:08

Might be like was I maybe.

16:10

I guess I'll with this question. see How much

16:12

do you. In. Your opinion? how much

16:15

to you as a coach solar right?

16:17

laugh and say okay. Maybe.

16:19

This player isn't exactly who I

16:22

have in my head while I'm

16:24

putting the little towns is on

16:26

Saturday, but we schools far fewer

16:28

goals than the things above us.

16:30

Another stop us from challenging. For.

16:33

The lakeside to the sheer. How. Far.

16:35

Would you say and another lot people make

16:38

this argument. I'm on another

16:40

to kiss her. A superb one. It's

16:42

all kind of wish struggling for goals.

16:45

We. Have. Like. A

16:47

number nine who is continually

16:49

broken goalscoring record. You.

16:52

Know how much? with how much do you

16:54

think the coach just said you know what

16:56

made this not the striker. Want to skip

16:58

school me goals and that's the most important

17:00

thing. How much sympathy do you up without

17:02

them? Yeah, I

17:05

have a fair amount of sympathy for

17:07

it on. And

17:09

in I think yeah is if. She.

17:12

Was still scoring goals in Twenty One Twenty

17:15

Two right even before she moved back to

17:17

them. But as you still scoring goals even

17:19

if she wasn't quite the centre forward sat,

17:21

I'd have Allen said, I think areas like

17:24

as the I think at some level a

17:26

coat if you've got a player with the

17:28

sort of quality.that's it has. You have to

17:30

try your best to figure out a way

17:33

to get that player into the T. Is.

17:35

I think that's the that's the very

17:38

neutral his neutral Hans Rockets. But we

17:40

also know that said, this coach. On

17:43

Structure is really important and some of

17:45

us structures brought by the number nine.

17:48

The positions of the number nine takes

17:50

up on and so. You

17:52

know, I also have some sympathy from that. The

17:55

structures really important. Now I think there is a

17:57

way where you can sort of marry structure and

17:59

say okay, The play might not do

18:01

the best things for me structurally, but I

18:03

can play around there and especially when you're

18:05

considering you know, save the lives some of

18:08

the level of levels of teams that that

18:10

awful from points to the season right? Like.

18:13

Did. Structure really matter or play at West Ham

18:15

wasn't just the case of like, We. Just

18:17

seat. Score! Goals. And speak

18:19

didn't score goals right? So I do

18:21

have a lot of sympathy for the

18:23

argument, but. I. Do think

18:26

that. Again, It's really. It.

18:30

Always I I keep in. I've been

18:32

thinking about slot last few days and

18:34

they are keep coming back to. Okay

18:36

I don't think Says is quite the

18:38

player I'd have al once. And.

18:41

There was a time where I think you

18:43

would be really outrageous to say that because

18:46

of the quality that Fit has, but then

18:48

it's also like we don't know what

18:50

level she's acts and that's what makes it

18:52

a really difficult. Inflection points Arm. And

18:56

yes lot sort of. I think that's where

18:58

I keep it up and I'm very much

19:00

sitting on the fence here. But as for

19:02

us with keep coming back to which is

19:04

like you know don't quite know the levels

19:06

that she's acts and but I do know

19:08

thought. Discuss

19:11

how. Some. Of

19:13

landline. Tentative. I just I don't think this

19:15

is if the number is the At. Like

19:17

you said, she saw number ninety one. She's

19:19

not the number ten he wants. I think

19:21

he was more comfortable sacrificing some things you

19:23

want to ten than nine. But now at

19:25

Number Ten. like. They're.

19:27

A lot of be other a lot of

19:30

different options outnumber ten which I think also

19:32

makes at is another component to this contract

19:34

extension. Yeah, definitely

19:36

or not. think about the in stadium

19:38

thing as well as again, this is

19:40

really difficult to gauge because. Like

19:43

to cite she hasn't always been so

19:45

long we've been getting from the the

19:47

inside him enough studying the blacks than

19:49

us we want me to sky and

19:51

all of that we have that with

19:53

leopold see like a dance sense with

19:55

getting as much of that was is

19:57

made of but then like she's not

19:59

that so. Or because you know

20:01

cause she's been injured. but also wanna

20:03

watch the games back? Like to mean

20:05

twenty nine. Same. Like. We

20:07

is a bit on the men single.

20:10

Sacco room never played without this. She

20:12

was almost never injured but like I

20:14

watch these games back where we struggled

20:16

school cows and she's not playing but

20:18

nobody really mention so either. Which.

20:21

You know which you should take is indicative

20:23

in some way to the saw happened in

20:25

Twenty Nine Titan. Everyone would

20:27

just be some will made misapplying made

20:30

him as not playing like is kind

20:32

of feels like we've gotten use. Possible.

20:35

To being without her. But.

20:38

Also like being without or as the

20:40

main goal scorer in the same and

20:42

I feel like sees your phrase inflection

20:44

point if I'm like what we've really

20:47

got here is the inflection point between

20:49

time on some was also one. Genocide.

20:51

Of Owls Austin where perhaps in big

20:53

games with so much better than we

20:56

learned channels more it because of that

20:58

structure and everything else but it almost

21:00

feels like going to sit manage the

21:02

big games and that when we get

21:04

like West Ham and taught them let's

21:06

get go back in the dugout. that

21:08

stuff. Jordan, Davey Davey it's just like

21:10

rotating as as they were a novel

21:12

by the the picked up the big

21:14

box with eight blocks like. Yeah.

21:17

I just I don't know i i

21:19

i have out for a while even

21:21

in twenty twenty two I don't know

21:23

if discuss I thought she was gonna

21:26

go. On. That's where all the

21:28

information say. I kind of made my

21:30

peace with it. At. That point

21:32

because I think whatever young the

21:34

says seen a black Stenius was

21:37

born in January. Twenty twenty two.

21:39

I still think that was very

21:41

much because they expected to done.

21:44

But. I don't really think the in the

21:46

long time he was thinking. I'm

21:48

gonna play made him a behind bucks and yes

21:50

and to see your point I think that was

21:52

a bit of a marriage of convenience but before

21:54

we go on sustain the actually and like a

21:56

reference number ten role there and we had a

21:58

question from. No rose

22:00

or have rose see action One. War.

22:03

Your sights on the number Ten

22:05

role. Looking back. Also, going forward

22:08

on Sunday alone we saw him

22:10

less C N Fried occupying. And

22:12

that's without. This. In the

22:14

squad throughout the season, we sing a

22:16

lot of rotation. And.

22:19

And yeah we also have set by somehow

22:21

so like run next season. Like. That

22:24

does seem. To be a position where

22:26

we haven't. Quite. Settled

22:28

on any one because I think

22:30

there's. A difference between

22:32

rotation. And. I.

22:35

Haven't found my ideal place here. What?

22:37

What are your views on? that? Yeah,

22:42

I mean I think this is reminiscent of

22:44

of Fiona Sister season where I think we

22:46

had a lot of different players playing. the

22:48

have a and under ten right? We had

22:50

to. Didn't. Exactly. Get.

22:54

He it at Dallas an open position or

22:56

I think we had feta times a season

22:58

though I think issues He's a lot deeper

23:00

than enough for season I'm Kim was there

23:03

quite a bit. Jordan played their arm and

23:05

then finally he landed on there in that

23:07

sort of. Okay number ten

23:09

storm is going to play play there and

23:12

then blah season of if it gets in

23:14

both free to comes into the team stays

23:16

in the team is gets injured free to

23:18

say says and on the ten on. I

23:21

must is that's not been the case the

23:24

season and I think there's been. I

23:26

think you can look at this in a couple of

23:29

ways. one being on. Struggling. To.

23:32

Surfing. To score goals are constantly changing

23:34

them the tenth trying to get you

23:36

know in shacks little bit more creativity.

23:39

Ah I'm. Utilizing

23:41

three. So there I mean I remember

23:43

even going back to that Man United

23:45

game. second game season Rockies came in

23:47

and for he says as sort of

23:50

duel tense I'm so I think that

23:52

position has been. Open.

23:55

Again in part because of and I

23:57

think he hope you look it at.

24:00

A combination of the sense of fought with

24:02

the centre forward because I think it you

24:04

know I don't think Frieden and and free

24:07

so really work together that well. I'm free

24:09

to obviously works really well with with seen

24:11

I think you've seen the best Afraid of

24:13

the Season when and seen as played. Those

24:15

who work well together and I think finding

24:17

a number ten for resurfaced in half especially

24:19

because you know what are you want your

24:22

number tend to do when Bruce host dropping

24:24

and will you want you number tend to

24:26

push on. None of our midfield

24:28

is really do that. Kim.

24:30

Does it's an extent. But yeah, I

24:32

think some of kids work. Best

24:35

What happens outside the penalty box

24:37

arm or playing into the penalty

24:39

box. So again is that the

24:41

player that you want behinds Russo

24:43

R. And it

24:45

almost feels like. He's got his

24:47

eat like years, has gotten into a position

24:50

where. The. Best. Ten.

24:52

Is free. So because she does a

24:54

of the things he wants structurally off

24:56

the ball, on and on the ball.

24:58

She's obviously very good and she does

25:00

the thing that you are a number

25:02

that you want a number ten or

25:04

second strike to do which is get

25:07

into the box with the sort of

25:09

later on second yeah secondary roads score

25:11

from cutbacks and system up a few

25:13

times you know you look. At. Last

25:15

three goals the com a lot of them

25:17

a thin those with like second phase of

25:20

play or getting it you know running onto

25:22

a cop back so. It

25:24

almost feels like Bruce has become a number

25:26

ten. I don't think that's the ideal long

25:28

term solution. I'm not sure it is, but

25:31

it does feel like something that we've kind

25:33

of. Made. A model

25:35

of And I think one thing that's a shame

25:37

about. When I was just the. Last.

25:40

Five games this season did obviously talk

25:42

about like the comedy build momentum by

25:44

think this would have been a good

25:46

opportunity to trying to say to try

25:48

and have enough Frida and Free so

25:50

develop as a pairing and obviously free

25:52

to couldn't beat up. can start again

25:54

for you know a few weeks arm

25:57

but then he just comes off a

25:59

half time. It and city and

26:01

I think of is. I think that game was

26:03

more important to. Was.

26:05

Quite important to understand why she came off by. It

26:07

does sort of feel like going to be. You

26:10

know, back the same position next

26:12

season. whereas like we're not sure

26:14

who the number ten is. Yeah

26:18

yeah I think the so much about the

26:20

configuration of the midfielders wow like sixty when

26:22

this start applying that when the player player

26:24

like this that you really need lox double

26:26

pivot behind and I think we're about to

26:29

him the to do that very very well

26:31

For that's a question about do you want

26:33

to six is on the send you want

26:35

to Sixes who likes to move to that

26:37

model a bit more he to. Something.

26:40

That can give you again. Sorry, I can't

26:42

resist the kind of. Comparison

26:45

with the men seen that have shaped that

26:47

doing. I'm while I kind of

26:49

house like you know, Rice and I. The

26:51

party was a to Jr, but rice moves

26:54

up and than the cost of a note

26:56

about so likes. Awesome Was like two sixes

26:58

into tens and that there's a lot around

27:00

thought. That that is.

27:02

Yeah, the I think doesn't need sorting

27:04

and I do think it's because. He.

27:07

Hasn't really found who he wants to marry.

27:10

Icing for you. Just got the

27:12

contract. Frida was trying season last

27:14

season. Player: That Jonas

27:16

likes player from playing football he

27:18

likes she's twenty four. For.

27:21

Me: I say invest in her unless

27:23

if she can do and she com.

27:26

Let's. Find out let's find out is basically

27:28

where I go there but I'm yeah

27:30

that that there might be in a

27:32

the might be some change their in

27:34

the summer as well. you know that

27:36

much for the play can become players

27:38

it sound as well as plain white

27:40

so it is can be really interesting

27:42

to see a lot shakes out. I'm

27:44

a think there's a couple of like

27:46

this he mentioned sort of like do

27:48

you want to do to six years

27:50

or six to eight I do think

27:52

there is some interesting possibilities first just

27:54

because you know. If Cathy call

27:57

comes back from being on load bright like

27:59

does she comes. The team to she coming

28:01

so team isn't a or subpoena at as a

28:03

deep the a kind of his deep central

28:05

midfielder I'm had. You think the double pivot is

28:07

one thing that has. Works.

28:10

Quite well the season when you look at the

28:12

configuration like is it fear and clear and ten

28:14

or even likes you know car can you cross

28:16

and and Victoria Clove i think it's a combination

28:18

of was quite a bit. Has

28:20

worked well. The season on start sort of

28:23

one it it'll It does actually kind of

28:25

feel like that part is seek it out

28:27

and I think you know we've moved to

28:29

double pivot like week because we went we

28:31

went away from a for free free in

28:33

it and I think the double pivot is

28:36

very important for. Some. Of

28:38

our off the ball pricing structure so.

28:41

I can't see us moving away from that

28:43

so sort of feel like those names written

28:45

in. And the real question is is it

28:47

fried at number ten or are you pushing

28:50

team or pullover higher up? If so then

28:52

that brings you know that opens up the

28:54

central midfield small. Yeah,

28:57

definitely. I think there are. With.

28:59

Will talk about this in part to

29:02

when we passed. Talk about something Squad

29:04

needs by think creativity. Increase

29:06

creativity is something the. And.

29:09

Will be locked up to the without A

29:11

con applies to club a lot less sense.

29:13

a quick break their and off to the

29:15

bright to talk about. Haven't. Seen

29:17

a black Stenius perhaps to more generally

29:19

about what we think's needed in the

29:22

squad I i think com that made

29:24

him up unless you listen to this

29:26

and he would have probably be next

29:28

week and will probably guessed I'm announcements

29:30

and get some confirmations but I'm off

29:33

to the bright. Will talk a little

29:35

bit more about Cineplex said yes Perhaps

29:37

what the squad overrule needs and the

summer mood sex couples in the questions

31:40

welcome back to the else who would

31:42

have cost with he's had really to

31:44

the summer I'm quite frankly which I

31:46

think most of us have been doing

31:48

since about food for us off to

31:50

the county cup final. the last certainly

31:52

been. You. Know the questions youngest is

31:54

the young and press conferences for me and others

31:56

will be very very some a focus the one

31:59

I boss. Two times now.

32:01

I'm one that again the fans

32:03

in the stadium have made their

32:05

feelings very clear on the scene.

32:07

A blast And yes her contract

32:09

expires this summer. I'm I know

32:11

there's been an offer that know

32:13

the club a very very kings

32:15

cheaper and I think maybe some

32:17

of their kind of injuries around

32:19

the numbers and position for the

32:21

neighborhood. Yeah. So

32:23

kind of. Adam was a boxer off

32:25

but you know, starter and quite a

32:27

lot of games recycling that are gonna

32:29

convince. Server. Or for worse.

32:31

and I teach some. Really? Big goes

32:34

the seasons, while almost certainly gonna be

32:36

off his top goalscorer. Where.

32:38

Are you on on Stena? In

32:40

terms of. I.

32:43

Even know. If also were

32:45

in the Champions League final some more than might

32:48

that might stop. say no, but I might not.

32:50

I feel the city of

32:53

very very difficult flyer to

32:55

replace because. And this

32:57

is this is not a title the player

32:59

self with one which is. I think

33:01

than like a bit of a pinch point in the. In.

33:04

The contract negotiations and reason? she's delighted

33:06

to this point. But. I.

33:10

Just a disservice to the best backup

33:12

striker in the late, but. You.

33:14

Know wanna ask? you haven't quite got some

33:16

code? or a bunny? Sure. I

33:19

don't think Chelsea will man city harvesting the blacks

33:21

than he has had some extent. Yeah,

33:25

I mean Chelsea had to buy

33:27

another sense of for some could.

33:30

Deter. A Seattle right means I'm.

33:33

Because stated and that that backup

33:35

center for me official was going

33:37

to be at the level required

33:39

on and we saw tells Missile

33:41

City on the weekend sort of.

33:43

He has struggles to turn. The.

33:46

First half you know control into

33:48

really clear chances in part because

33:50

like they were they didn't have

33:53

the a national centre forward because

33:55

he's don't have one arm so.

33:58

Yeah, I think. You. Know. I

34:00

think see as real as an ethics really important

34:03

to see. The sad thing is really important for

34:05

also the seen as to stay because I do

34:07

think that is just such a hard position. To.

34:09

Find a replacement in. Ah,

34:11

I'm. Duchess. The

34:13

As Thinking about the note. Basically.

34:16

If you're not going to bring seen a

34:18

back, you're either. Kind of taking you're. Taking

34:20

a pumps on someone or you're gonna

34:23

have to combine. Allison's forward on and

34:25

scene is already sort of. Seen.

34:28

A has a role in the team and

34:30

sometimes starting and something was coming off the

34:32

bench. I think this season I do think

34:34

that that. Because.

34:36

Her minutes have been to be managed

34:39

more than the was saved last season

34:41

was she had to play basically every

34:43

single minutes or something else is having

34:45

a look at an. Sp

34:47

Rest and her Xd is more than doubled

34:49

for ninety minutes. Last season was point five

34:51

one the season it's one point one one

34:54

arm so I think you're seeing both. I

34:56

think you're seeing how soon as he used

34:58

to seen as been a little bit more.

35:01

Effective. like coming off the bench

35:03

against teams to the tiring and

35:05

with leaving space but also seeing

35:07

how she can be effective in

35:10

pushing defenses back in a place.

35:12

with that, you know, Enabling

35:15

offices like create more chances because

35:17

seen as pushed it's sense back

35:19

and that sort of really? Emily

35:21

seen that in. Those.

35:24

Games games against Bristol City against Leicester City

35:26

or of pushing the defense back Wolfson there's

35:29

more space for free so discourses will space

35:31

sort of like you know best score, etc

35:33

etc. So I think this is gonna be

35:35

a really I think this be really tough

35:37

player to replace. I think this be a

35:40

huge loss. I think this is the nine

35:42

that does the lord of the things Eunice

35:44

ones. I think that's why she started quite

35:46

a few games in the run in. Ah

35:48

I think that's why she started the County

35:51

Cup final arm. and while you know best.

35:54

Assault say that Russo can't do that were

35:56

so one get that seen it does that.

35:58

Now I think going into. Next

36:00

season when you been out, the expectation

36:02

very much should be awful competing for

36:05

title. Awful. doing far better in the

36:07

Champions League then the season. I don't

36:09

think you can lose a supplier. Yeah

36:12

and seen I have a good scoring record

36:14

in the Champions League. Last season is while

36:16

I I think the way things have developed

36:19

for her. Cause. Earlier in

36:21

the season she was really only starting

36:23

against teams who play high line. so

36:25

she starts was gets Manchester United she

36:28

saw it. The. Away game at

36:30

Brighton. that was that they kind of player I

36:32

line but it's more like I around in their

36:34

own box and. And you're

36:36

just kind of wants his harem. Alexey

36:38

resorted to suppress and and it's feel

36:41

like she was that the superstar like

36:43

to sing has graduated. What's.

36:45

Your point? He's talking about our lot

36:47

more as a tool against eight blocks

36:50

now because I was thinking attorney says

36:52

nothing Really nice. Most. Of

36:54

the nicest. Refused to have like.

36:56

Still enough for those games. Thanks

36:58

for actually. The. Same states aren't

37:00

the ones that come up the most in

37:02

the Wsl. What we come up against the

37:05

most is the blocks and and said the

37:07

graduation. To. Seeing Hi to your

37:09

Point as a reply that pushes things

37:11

back and lowness references directly off to

37:14

the person city game Recently He said

37:16

if you go back and look over

37:18

the chances we create. Seen.

37:20

A might not touch the ball the

37:22

She: they're pushing person a thing back

37:24

so I i think h hugely important

37:26

and I've seen a lot. I'm not

37:29

gonna make you answer this but I've

37:31

seen a lot of people can have

37:33

asked the question he to have to

37:35

keep Wanna fiverr stainer who would you

37:37

keep which can. Go. Back

37:39

three, Four years, Two years that would

37:41

that would feel like I'm pretty ridiculous

37:43

question and kind of doesn't anymore. Like.

37:46

To. Your point stain or is it is

37:48

very much he owners player but I

37:50

think having that like a game big

37:52

moments playa. I'm a simple game.

37:54

Sites are coming up more and more so.

37:57

Hum. Yeah, I think that's another one

37:59

Will will. I'm sure about so

38:01

new. get confirmation so I'm. In.

38:03

Terms of the Squat? then. So this

38:06

summer. Like. You.

38:08

Know we're talking a lot about awesome having

38:10

an issue scoring goals. A lot of that,

38:12

his conversion. I saw an

38:15

the asked us twitter account just tweeted

38:17

out like. The. Top six players

38:19

for Xj. In. The Wsl

38:21

the season and three of them

38:24

are awesome places in Russo Black

38:26

Stenius need and yet one miles

38:28

behind an inner city and Chelsea

38:30

in some the com score. But.

38:33

In terms of scoring more

38:35

cows. You. Know we know lost

38:37

in one A key. Stay. Neuronal the see

38:39

less years so we know that mean take

38:41

them for like. Know. That players

38:44

that likes it feels like that Coors the

38:46

front line is very stop list and youngest

38:48

is very happy with it. You.

38:51

Know we've been like a

38:53

winner. Definitely sir. I. Think a

38:55

few years now. I'm. One

38:57

where did like how do you

38:59

see it is that simple kind

39:02

of. I'm. As

39:04

the same goes a little bit more

39:06

that conversion get battle resort type of

39:08

player. He. Really liked to see to come

39:10

into the same and and kind of boost those

39:12

numbers. Yeah, I

39:14

think it's really interesting questions. Are it?

39:16

it? it. it. It

39:20

sort of asking you to do two

39:22

things one think about where in the

39:24

attack can you upgrade I do think

39:27

that in even from desert a standpoint

39:29

of. On player profile I do

39:31

think obviously there are some differences between

39:33

each player, but I do think Caitlin

39:35

photo the cashback need a all. Quite.

39:38

Similar in a way that I think public

39:40

has a good analog for need and for

39:43

just because of how she placed on the

39:45

left and how she placed in the right

39:47

arm. They're also all similar in age profile.

39:49

I do think that you know, get it,

39:51

having a. Younger.

39:54

Attacking. Player would be beneficial to the also

39:56

just and some some more. Just in terms of

39:58

more speed I think you. The

40:01

I don't think. Also why

40:03

pleasure from the via the

40:05

quickest in the Wsl arm.

40:07

Sounds. Like you're you're going for his

40:09

yeah random thought I ended thought up

40:12

and yelling the i'd bring the age

40:14

profile down, put some that speed and

40:16

the front line. I mean. I'm

40:18

foods or don't signals gonna happen

40:21

but the shield like flow as

40:23

you like player who is ready

40:25

to play in the also starting

40:28

lineup. yes I think that doubt

40:30

doubt be of be great signing

40:32

up. Those. Are obviously

40:35

very tough place. To. Find. Ah,

40:37

so I think that sort of one area

40:39

that you can look cats Are you suggesting

40:41

this is an interesting question from. Just.

40:43

A sampling of of thinking about.

40:47

Underlying. Numbers like also

40:49

guests on the performed

40:51

exceed the season quite

40:53

substantially. I'm they didn't

40:55

last season. And

40:57

but the team that. D.

41:00

Whoop De Cima did under perform the

41:03

underlying metrics. Last season was Manchester City

41:05

who and outs obsolete and I know

41:07

Yunus reference this and I think you

41:09

can look at this and she weighs

41:11

one being managed to sense you know

41:13

kind of points to a team that

41:15

had a similar season season instead to

41:17

to awful season. The seasons now till

41:19

the of self preservation Fox? Absolutely. I

41:21

think I think there was some pointed

41:23

comments that but I don't think he's

41:25

necessarily wrong. I think a twenty two

41:27

game sample just. And.

41:30

Facade is a in twenty two games the losses

41:32

and drop points gets emphasize more than the would

41:34

and say a thirty eight game season and I

41:36

think tweets you games I don't I'm sure some

41:39

of cancer research at sort of were kind of.

41:42

Metrics: Stabilise in a football season for

41:44

twenty two games feels like a small sample.

41:46

Twenty two games is the amount of time

41:49

is you know the unbeaten run through. I

41:51

am really hadn't twenty eighteen nineteen and we

41:53

all know how that ended up going. So.

41:58

That isn't to say the also guaranteed to. The

42:00

do better next season because. You.

42:02

Know well the metric say we're under performing

42:05

the seasons. The Nexus will magically be better

42:07

because this is all. Twenty two days is

42:09

ultimately the size of the season and does

42:11

a four month break and in that time

42:13

you'll make additions. You'll lose players, teams will

42:15

develop, other teams will add place and and

42:17

lose players and of the coaches will have

42:19

the time to like he has set up

42:21

news, tactical systems things like that but I

42:24

do think there is a part of this

42:26

where it's like think also have just been

42:28

kind of unlucky and I think. You.

42:30

Know there are some things to improve

42:32

in playing style like. Fact. Game

42:34

against Everton was very reminiscent of some to

42:37

struggles only of the season for the hadn't

42:39

been doing.like they didn't do that against lesser

42:41

they didn't use i can Spur Society they

42:44

didn't do that against Aston Villa. They moved

42:46

the ball really well and they created a

42:48

lot of chances. And they took

42:50

some of those for and they took chances

42:52

So I think like from that sample anything

42:55

is to sort of like it. It's. Baby.

42:58

The habits and games Kind of a one off.

43:00

I think that I do think that some of

43:02

the bad habits have been. House.

43:06

Lessons over the course of the last

43:08

few months. But. I also think they're all

43:10

like. That's not to say that. Everything's

43:12

fine and we shouldn't do anything like I

43:14

do think that there's some profile she could

43:17

you could look at in the squad quitting.

43:19

Yeah yeah more speed in the most most

43:21

feet in the wide areas cause. I

43:23

think that's a necessity that's only also stuff

43:25

half. Yeah, definitely

43:28

like I'm in Arkansas. All school

43:30

was while keeping tabs on the

43:32

lawn amp situation than. She

43:34

had an extended the city I think I can

43:37

quite citing say that have been. Or

43:39

that have been in. There was an

43:41

Ipa on unfortunately for us know ah

43:43

she did sign so of the see

43:45

Nothing materialized there but. You. Know that

43:48

not leftwing spots been open for ages

43:50

actually. cuddling up to cousin really been

43:52

able to play for two years. even

43:54

before that so been was the left

43:56

wing earn she wasn't able to play

43:58

sites for ya. This whole time I

44:01

think he's been down like a left

44:03

winger and that's important as well because

44:05

he asked so much. A

44:07

fan physically of that from three. The

44:09

swapping players in an hour is really

44:12

important as well. I'm on. and he's

44:14

not. He's he's after I was apply.

44:16

I think I'm that's I'm Caitlin. Probably

44:19

not. not. just in terms of stops

44:21

the sums of minutes. On

44:23

On and on while. I

44:25

know the are also looking to

44:28

six star and I think they

44:30

they want to create supplier. And.

44:33

As well com you know someone who

44:35

can like the amount of times. It's

44:38

weird because the data doesn't show this

44:40

Muslim looking at an earlier looking at

44:42

the data for like three balls passes

44:44

into the box when I know. Awesome

44:47

play! The. Tape his defensive blocks of

44:49

anyone in the division, but I feel

44:51

like maybe this is on the west

44:53

side. I feel like a watch Aussie

44:55

so often. And. I think release it

44:57

really play the through the through ball

44:59

and it's not played or someone checks

45:01

back or like a feel like. I

45:04

feel like Arsenal need a bit more guile in

45:06

a bit more risk. And I'm

45:08

looking up like Kim Little Paths

45:10

First Dana. For the

45:13

winner on Sunday I can played a

45:15

very similar path to let's see Russo

45:17

asserts that makes it so lucky. Bruce

45:19

on the North London Dalby so like.

45:22

You know if we could clone Kim some

45:24

of buffs like because I'm with you. I

45:26

kind of thing comes back to date for

45:29

any way. like to feel like we need

45:31

that parser and I think costs who. Feel.

45:33

They need as well. so. Yeah.

45:36

I know that the sniffing around something at

45:38

the moment and and I think they will

45:40

be like you know to see your point

45:42

a different type. Of. Why plan? perhaps

45:44

more creative? Why play up also like I'm

45:46

with you I think spend on the flanks

45:48

as well. I'm I'm on. I think we

45:51

we might even see both those things the

45:53

summer. but let's gonna wait and see to

45:55

to that point. I'm because quite

45:58

a few people have asked. You know? Questions.

46:01

In that kind of air. And

46:03

this one's for my area. L R

46:05

E L A W S C Given

46:08

how much slower and intricate possession play

46:10

we've been seeing, Where. Do you

46:12

see the disconnect being why Do you think

46:14

with struggled to add more variety of pace

46:16

of speed of flight. In. Possession.

46:19

I mean it is tough, just apply

46:21

a thing or. This.

46:23

I don't think that's what Uranus

46:25

once. I don't think she's

46:28

a stickler for accuracy. In.

46:30

The fine. third. But. It

46:32

does feel like we've been sticklers for accuracy

46:34

in the final third. like D C the

46:36

as a mismatch in it. and if so

46:38

why. Can't

46:41

access. To. Stuff would come

46:43

with the i think yours doesn't really care about

46:45

accuracy. And

46:47

I think. He know when

46:50

you look at at an. Even

46:52

things like possibly post office passing percentage and

46:55

jonas his first season was fall below what

46:57

it was a monster are as last season.

46:59

So I think he doesn't necessarily care about

47:01

that I think he cares about. I think

47:03

he also doesn't care about that because if

47:06

you're any good structured count like if you're

47:08

in a good structure you actually count suppress

47:10

really well. Even if you like you know

47:12

lose the ball you encounter pressing create something.

47:15

So I don't. Think

47:18

it's what he wants. but I

47:20

also. I don't

47:22

Also, I also just don't think it's it's down

47:24

to the players to like a don't think is

47:27

what the players want the to either. Like I

47:29

just don't think. The.

47:32

Profiles and asses attack. Ah yeah. actually.

47:34

winning. Go back and keep the ball.

47:36

I could just don't think. I suppose

47:38

that's for those profile see. So do

47:40

you think there's a disconnect? I do

47:42

wonder if part of it is just.

47:45

A. Sort of. At

47:49

times it almost looks they've looked scared

47:51

to lose the ball and I wonder

47:54

if, in especially kind of like, there

47:56

are moments in. I. Think

47:58

that West Ham game but. Also

48:00

moments earlier in the season I'm thinking

48:02

about villa home whereas like it didn't

48:04

wanna try and try the risky past

48:07

because what is as a counterattack and

48:09

was somewhat down a goal of having

48:11

trouble scoring and. That's. Gonna

48:13

be trump points. So.

48:16

Maybe that's part of it is. Well I

48:18

do think that they're like this to me

48:20

like the biggest thing to figure out because

48:22

I don't think it's necessary to profile players.

48:24

I mean yes I think someplace maybe that

48:26

could be more, they could be more movement

48:28

from someplace. I do think when you think

48:30

about like speed I just think that's one

48:32

thing. that speed as a as. Different.

48:35

In many different angles for a

48:37

pass it as a different boys

48:39

play. Ah I'm. So.

48:41

I do You think that's one thing that could fix it and

48:43

then just. Means is this is that

48:46

it. This is such an interesting question. Such

48:48

a mix of like. I think

48:50

tactical concerns whereas like what are what

48:52

is hop structure on the ball was

48:54

ah structure of the pool is ah

48:56

structure of purple good enough to push

48:58

out to counter press and prevents a

49:00

counter attack and then it's also makes

49:02

a fucking some saw factors that much

49:04

harder to to analyze so that sort

49:06

of like my again on the fence

49:08

answer about this but in I I

49:10

I guess one one thing that. is

49:12

coming to mind and in his last eyes on on.

49:15

The podcast the Thing is just off the

49:17

money. I came this think we were talking

49:20

a little bit about that Man United away

49:22

game and we're talking little bit about balance

49:24

I still for and I think that she's

49:26

been issue this whole season. The balance hasn't

49:28

quite been why I think a balance between

49:30

with creativity and. Players who

49:32

are and goalscorer as hasn't. Been.

49:36

Rights in those in A in the Final

49:38

Third Arm and I think you can look

49:40

it so back and come from to the

49:42

food. Playing as a Number Ten, I think

49:44

some of our best balances actually come in

49:46

recent weeks when you've seen I'm. Either.

49:49

Staff or particularly Emily Fox play in high

49:51

positions I think part of as just like

49:53

every Fox is a really good player, really

49:55

good passer arm and can do a variety

49:58

of things and sources at that balance. The

50:00

she can either to the runs off the ball

50:02

or play on the ball on. Three

50:04

years the other on such you to sign

50:06

another family Fox and Kim The and Clinton

50:09

Little. Yeah. Yeah, easy com yeah

50:11

I I think I'm one, not one

50:13

I envisage when I tried like

50:15

visualize one awesome attack. Looks like. Very

50:19

suffering. You. I. Am

50:21

this is you reference? They're like

50:23

that than good passing behind. Like

50:25

I'm not picturing a passing behind

50:27

to take them foods. you know,

50:30

Like. Running on, sir, on the unfit,

50:32

I'm picturing the ball comes to Caitlin

50:34

Foods. She. Has a

50:36

fall back on, maybe a winner and

50:38

she has to take the moment of

50:40

them. The bogus wrote me see. And.

50:42

See you know it's quite an

50:45

innocent. Some of it is probably leads

50:47

to the number. Some things I know.

50:49

As of someone who can pass

50:51

him behind. Well. As

50:53

you know to those white plan is

50:55

needed for will be more that both

50:57

that sense for once I get the

50:59

more than half is wrong with our

51:01

off the back of before boston and

51:03

kind of can go for it run.

51:05

That's where it becomes sort of a

51:07

tactic state because I'm thinking back to

51:09

even Sunday how many times it also

51:11

play the ball Behind was one of

51:13

the. Full size eight ball behind

51:15

this when seen it comes on and hey

51:17

hey places all over the top the scene

51:19

it's wrong to and she's asking for the

51:21

paths. And. A You just

51:23

don't see others like. The. I'm with

51:26

you and I envision attack. I didn't see

51:28

the ball going. you know beyond in supplies

51:30

into place part I to see seen a

51:32

doing that basically. Yeah.

51:34

Exactly. And I think that's why she likes

51:36

of two different sometimes protecting when she comes.

51:39

Into a game and he saw that and

51:41

some they were. Nelson star. it

51:44

took a lot the middle sold the

51:46

to fix back and then. Seen

51:48

A comes on new from the someone in

51:50

the book, the instrument in the box,

51:52

someone trying to push that last line

51:54

of defense and sometimes she does that so

51:57

much I think. Some. Fun She

51:59

perhaps. You know,

52:01

cheating? Supercritical? Like. He. Knows

52:04

she lacks a kind of variety where

52:06

it's like I'm going behind all the

52:08

time, but because so few other players

52:10

do that actually kind of. Really?

52:13

Really works for us. Lose it feels

52:15

like we've got a lot of like

52:17

sorry this sooner. Profiles.

52:19

To that's why you know? Yeah, I

52:21

think a fast like playa. I

52:24

think more of like a schemer creates

52:26

a pop. Somebody plays up wiper. Is.

52:28

More of a white sand. Putting.

52:30

Will see a fair bit of thought and

52:32

I'm like this with same with that made

52:34

him recently. She's been popping up in a

52:36

lot since like central positions. And

52:39

you know, really kind of pushing

52:41

in the nuts clearly about trying

52:43

to get some fluidity. I'm less

52:45

flexible a loss question here because

52:47

this relates like more to the

52:49

overall kind of squat building picture

52:51

and it's from a vein com

52:53

some sweats. Or do you think

52:55

the number of games a season

52:57

warrants having to players per position?

53:00

We. Also used to be too sure

53:02

but now it feels like we have too

53:04

many players. The. Some to be

53:06

I don't seem to be able to

53:08

get meaningful minutes and this is another

53:11

real intersection between each. I want to

53:13

more as often the underside of as

53:15

often between. Attention to see

53:17

players and since I'm too many without

53:19

the Champions league was definitely have too

53:21

many. The. Season for obviously we

53:24

arts plump Champions League football. I

53:27

still think about twenty two

53:29

to twenty three. Is. Optimal

53:31

rather than twenty five. I think twenty

53:33

five does give you the of redundancy,

53:36

but at the same time. Last.

53:39

Season one for plus ruptured their

53:41

I sales. Twenty five would have

53:43

been a very nice size. I'm

53:46

actually he kind of. Do.

53:48

Probably have to build that size. Just think

53:51

tanks and be prepared for a bit of.

53:53

Redundancy. Likes like this is something

53:55

I revisit and changed my thinking on the

53:57

time. Like. Where. Are

53:59

you. One hundred. What? Size

54:02

the awesome squats, she pays less.

54:04

Assume that everything go swimmingly. Champions

54:06

League Qualification. Yeah

54:09

I think Champions League qualification would have

54:11

made the whole different six. I think

54:13

this this what size is fine If

54:15

you're basically saying I'm going to change

54:17

three players. Every every

54:19

week on. You.

54:22

Know. And. Also, especially because

54:24

you know we know that.

54:27

He onus when he has to wipe last

54:29

spring on he will bring on this to

54:31

why players he switched just he switch both

54:33

for he took both full backs off on

54:35

sunday price so he does make those changes

54:37

and think he kind of have to look

54:39

at it from simply of okay we need

54:41

to full backs in eat me to. Write.

54:44

Actually to left backs we need

54:46

to why place each position? I

54:48

do think there's you know. At.

54:50

Centre back. It's tough because you really

54:53

you really don't want to make too

54:55

many changes at since a half arm

54:57

but also you don't wanna be sure.

54:59

I think the number the also have

55:02

their now is fine. I think you'd

55:04

probably want. Another one

55:06

since Amanda in the state is.

55:09

Presumed. Is going to miss a lot of

55:11

next season Arm. And you

55:13

know, three to secure the little bit like

55:16

for playing twice a week. especially because you

55:18

know like the is coming back from in

55:20

a cel right lit like Dean has been

55:22

in and out the season with injuries so

55:24

probably want another one last I think weather's

55:26

really and I think this sort of were.

55:30

Also. Had a I think sense does.

55:32

There's just too many places central midfield right?

55:34

Especially if we pay for basically saying free

55:37

to slumber ten and. Everyone

55:39

else is pull is competing for two spots and

55:41

yes, five place that's a lot of that's a

55:43

law like. You know, I think

55:45

we seen it like. Cartoony,

55:48

Cross maybe hasn't on this many minutes has

55:50

some with like I still think she's played

55:52

a decent them out and I I think

55:54

and if you have champion cease would have

55:57

played more. ah see have no preseason as

55:59

well nothing. That

56:03

thousand apply I think his well yeah exactly

56:05

right. The know years the said that there's

56:07

been some injuries behind the scenes with her

56:09

so see I think it's essentially feel. That's

56:11

where I think this is too many on

56:14

blessing in central midfield. that sort of an

56:16

area where yes or see when you can

56:18

get away with maybe just having three players

56:20

to spots on. And yes

56:22

I think in I think the size

56:25

of the squad is is mostly fine.

56:27

I think. I. Think

56:29

the biggest I think the biggest reason why

56:31

we're seeing this is just because we haven't

56:33

had Champions League football until like currency cop

56:36

minutes don't feel. Real. Basically

56:38

like it stung. ah I'm and I think

56:40

if we if we had champions league he

56:42

just would have seen more rotation and you

56:44

would have seen I think I think what

56:46

we got into his we basically had a

56:48

clumsy cup team and we had elite team

56:50

and there wasn't a lot of change between

56:52

those two teams. and the think when you

56:54

have Champions league you to see oh okay

56:56

like you know. And

56:59

a painting a stunning of us back this week.

57:01

but you know, in the Champions. but she'll play

57:03

in the Champions League as well as stuff. Cali

57:05

will be a left back next week. So and

57:07

I just think that's just a little bit more

57:10

obvious. So I think yeah, I think twenty two,

57:12

twenty three sign, Twenty five. Probably a bit too

57:14

much is good. And and just because, like. You

57:17

know those players on can replace him so many

57:20

minutes and that's I think that's just really tough

57:22

from a development standpoint like. You.

57:24

Know again. Cathy

57:26

Cool. Wasn't really any

57:28

keynote, she didn't play that much and the first

57:30

half the season. so this loans who really good

57:32

for her but is kind of hard to like.

57:34

It's hard because you want to buy the best

57:37

young talent but then you need to play them

57:39

at some point but you aren't gonna play them

57:41

if that. Not eat

57:43

at this feels like an such an overlap

57:45

between like conversations. Young puppy also meant jostle

57:47

men's. Yeah,

57:50

absolutely Us I think like. Know.

57:52

Where to look like the cast for example we

57:54

do and at the age of thirty but not

57:56

like not first choice to apply most times kind

57:59

of thing. Yeah, because when you're

58:01

twenty twenty one twenty two, you got

58:03

plight and I look at Kathy. Cool

58:05

next season and. Like. For

58:07

her house seats are awesome, one are

58:09

awesome, one up and I write a

58:12

very highly to someone's Got to move

58:14

to Chicago Have. Five. Central

58:16

midfielders. Why? Otherwise she's could have been

58:18

the same situation again. I'm

58:20

an i'm not sure if any of those

58:22

four players all going to movies, so it's

58:25

you know what you do? You send route

58:27

loan again? What does that Do just that

58:29

then just disconnect you. From

58:31

the club a bit like I think is optimal

58:34

she i weather's as just a disconnect known to

58:36

feel like an awesome fire and. I'm

58:39

As.the As like use projects for

58:41

example, I just something I work.

58:44

In A in women's football really? I

58:46

think it's more. I looked at the

58:48

city taking and that Coors Twenty four

58:50

twenty five. and I think that's more.

58:53

The. Kind of age you're looking at

58:55

unless you've got like an absolute. The.

58:57

Exceptional. Like when city sign laurent him

58:59

when she was I saying it's right.

59:02

Yeah. She's gonna planes can apply so. Hum

59:05

it I was. You're in a you've got

59:07

a very distant gap. For

59:09

them. And and yeah I think on

59:11

the sunspots we probably will see one

59:14

think I'm like Containers is actually Been

59:16

has really turned off this last couple

59:18

a months now. I'm off to quite

59:20

slow start. so yeah maybe was I

59:22

hadn't had anything on the tool not

59:24

post. I suspect we might say another

59:26

sense about com in. Unless

59:29

they show like promoting honesty young players,

59:31

it's not. Fourth, Choice. Slot

59:33

but again if they don't play. They

59:36

don't develop and. You know that's

59:39

lucky in an ideal world. Maybe

59:41

maybe she I would say the

59:43

season for example. given. I'm

59:45

it. or the the shortage we

59:47

after maybe as human could carve

59:50

out. Spice. In this

59:52

attack as it is but like cameo

59:54

minutes a hunk and develop those players

59:56

so. Yeah. I often think to

59:58

you're on a bit of a hiding the

1:00:00

nothing unless. You. Know that the

1:00:02

Nineteen Twenty around you pick up is ready

1:00:04

supply straightaway sites and you I was. We'll

1:00:07

see how all of that shakes out. A

1:00:09

think. I'm will probably come back

1:00:11

with another pod. maybe next week. Maybe

1:00:13

off the prime time when it's sexy.

1:00:16

And see maybe some some things to

1:00:18

talk about next week, but I don't

1:00:20

know for sure. yeah thought. We.

1:00:22

Will have another focus for the next fortnight

1:00:25

but a lot like has will definitely know

1:00:27

about each isn't the rest of it might

1:00:29

be might even have a nice on the

1:00:31

kind of fasting coming by them. But and

1:00:34

will say all of that is a very

1:00:36

moveable feast and things change very quickly so

1:00:38

we'll see what we do that will states

1:00:41
