And you take someone like Katie McCabe out of the team, and I know I've said her name twice this podcast, and I do feel disgusted with myself, but that's a big part of the defense.

And I also think Leah Williamson and Steph Catley, despite the fact that they are starting centerbacks, they're not playing a lot together because of injury.

And this is a team that I think –

Defensively, you've got a new goalkeeper.

Misa Rodriguez plays a very different brand of football than someone like Daphne van Domsla, same as Annika Borba.

So I do view it as a René Slager's like maybe a halftime chat between all the coaches looking at this and saying, look, there's a threat at the back and it's a real threat because it's not just Brighton are going to try to exploit Arsenal's weaknesses.

Brighton have a lot of firepower in a tackling.

like they can hurt Arsenal, irregardless of Arsenal's setup, because they are a very good team and they will be.

So I do think it's probably one of those situations that's like, we're just going to have to change the way we're playing this second half and kind of adapt to that.

And I don't think this is the way Arsenal are going to play football all season, but I just think, yeah, this is just growing pains.

And it's probably just been a decision to play, not a defensive brand, but just a more reserved brand of football, less movement up the pitch.

And I think that's totally okay.

I think that these are the games we need to grind out.

You mentioned it was

4-2 at Crawley then it was a draw last season you look at Chelsea on the weekend and to be honest the games look quite similar to me like one exciting player scores a goal and then they kind of take their foot off the gas and then the opposition gets back in and I thought we're kind of destined for that same outcome but the difference between this

And most seasons is where the team that usually drops points on opening weekend and Chelsea are the team that kind of grind out the hard result when they don't really look their best.

So yeah, I'm not concerned, Tim.

I'm not concerned.

I think it's really important in these away days, just get the three points and run and build on the performance.

I thought the substitutions were very pre-planned.
