On this edition of the Arsenal Vision Post Match Podcast, Elliot (@yankeegunner) is joined by Paul (@poznaninmypants) and Clive (@clivepafc) to pick the bones out of a dispiriting draw at Vicarage road. The conversation starts with some thoughts about the start of the game and the level of intensity from both sides. There’s some questions about the individual performances and recurring theme of individual errors and a litany of awful stats to back up the concern. Then the conversation shifts mostly to the head coach, his tactics, his substitutions, the issues he’s having finding an effective approach, whether his message is getting through, and where the club goes from here.
