    London is Red

    London is red. Granit, Patrick and Rhett break down Arsenal’s latest win over Chelsea and why this version of Mikel Arteta’s side feels different from the Arsenal teams of the last few seasons. The guys dig into Myles Lewis-Skelly’s growing influence in midfield, Riccardo Calafiori’s freedom to roam, Arsenal’s increasing tactical flexibility, Martin Ødegaard finding another gear, and the squad depth that is allowing Arteta to play a much more aggressive style. There’s also plenty on Chelsea: their spending, their squad-building strategy, their defending, Emi Martínez, Cole Palmer, and the eternal question of whether spending enormous amounts of money actually qualifies as “good business” when the results don’t follow. Plus, the guys say goodbye to Gabriel Martinelli, discuss Arsenal finally getting serious value in the transfer market, and debate whether the club was right not to force another signing simply for the sake of making one. And because Patrick can’t help himself, the Charleston Battery manage to sneak into the conversation before the final whistle.

    This Is Joey CrÃŒe Now

    The Cannon CrÃŒe is back, and this one turns into a full-on Battery therapy session. Granit, Patrick, and Ryan dig into the Charleston Battery’s recent struggles, including defensive breakdowns, red cards, inconsistent goalkeeping, and the bigger question hanging over the team: who is the leader on the field? The crew debates whether Joey should be the guy to step into that role, whether Graham Smith has captain qualities, why Sean Suber still is not getting consistent minutes, and whether Ben Pirmann needs to show a little more fire from the touchline. There is also plenty of keeper talk, including the weekly requirement to say one nice thing about Zamudio. The episode also branches out into bigger soccer territory, with Colton Swan transfer talk, Arsenal and Manchester City banter, Ryan’s Wolves corner, and the future of Cannon CrÃŒe expanding beyond just Battery coverage. Also included: Temu Pep, Temu Haaland, cheap Battery tickets, season-ticket-holder pain, Copenhagen confusion, balcony scouting with bullhorns, and the official rebrand nobody asked for: Joey CrÃŒe.

    Revenge is best served Five-Nil: Battery Thump Brooklyn

    Brooklyn beat Charleston 3–0 earlier this season. The Battery remembered. Charleston answered with an emphatic 5–0 beatdown at Patriots Point, getting goals from five different players and delivering exactly the kind of response we had been waiting to see. But was this really the Battery turning the corner—or just another dominant home performance? On this episode of Cannon CrÃŒe, Granit, Ryan and Patrick break down the revenge win over Brooklyn, the impact of Maalique Foster and Miguel Berry, Charleston’s suddenly dangerous attack, the clean sheet that wasn't quite as comfortable as the scoreline suggests, and the spectacular—and completely unnecessary—Kissiedou goal/red-card combination. Then we look ahead to Loudoun, Charleston’s troublesome road form, the increasingly tight Eastern Conference playoff race, and ask a bigger question: Has Tampa Bay replaced Louisville as the team everyone should fear in the East? Five goals. Five scorers. A clean sheet. A little revenge. Now do it again. EPISODE NOTES REVENGE: COMPLETE Charleston avenged its earlier 3–0 loss in Brooklyn with a 5–0 demolition at Patriots Point. The guys discuss whether this was simply a great night at home—or evidence that the Battery have finally rediscovered the attacking identity that has been missing during their recent inconsistent stretch. Five Goals, Five Different Scorers Charleston didn't rely on one player to carry the attack. Goals came from throughout the lineup, with movement, quick combinations and aggressive runs creating a much more dangerous version of the Battery. Let It Foster Maalique Foster was everywhere. After repeatedly asking for more minutes and more attacking freedom for Foster, the CrÃŒe breaks down what changed with him on the field and why his pace and movement may be too valuable to leave out of the starting XI. And yes—we may have accidentally created the phrase “Let It Foster.” Miguel Berry Changes the Attack Berry's strength, movement and willingness to create for teammates stood out throughout the match. Was this his best performance in a Battery shirt? Patrick makes the case for Berry as his Man of the Match—and we discuss whether Charleston may have found a better way to use him. A Clean Sheet
 But Let's Talk About It Luis Zamudio officially gets the clean sheet. But Joey Akpunonu's early goal-line clearance may have prevented an entirely different match from developing. We continue our discussion about Charleston's goalkeeping, defensive structure and whether the final score covered up some dangerous moments early in the match. Goal, Assist
 Fight? A spectacular strike from distance. A gorgeous backheel. And then a completely unnecessary challenge with Charleston already cruising. The CrÃŒe breaks down Kissiedou's eventful night and whether his late red card unnecessarily hurts Charleston heading into the next match. Also: Can Somebody Please Fix the Pitch? Patriots Point's playing surface gets another Cannon CrÃŒe performance review. Home Depot and Lowe's sponsorship inquiries are apparently welcome. Next Up: Loudoun United Charleston destroyed Loudoun 4–1 in the previous meeting, but this one comes on the road—and Loudoun enters in much better form. Can the Battery reproduce the speed, movement and creativity we saw against Brooklyn? Or do we go right back to slow possession and passing around the back? OUR LOUDOUN PREDICTIONS Patrick: Battery 1–0 Granit: 1–1 Draw Ryan: Battery 2–1 The Eastern Conference Is Getting Interesting With the playoff race tightening, we look beyond Charleston and discuss one of the biggest questions in the East: Is Tampa Bay becoming the new Louisville? The Rowdies are surging, Louisville suddenly looks vulnerable, and the traditional hierarchy of the Eastern Conference may finally be shifting. As the postseason approaches, one thing becomes increasingly important: Every match is a final. Cannon CrÃŒe Charleston Battery analysis, arguments, goalkeeper criticism, questionable predictions and the occasional discussion about illegally fertilizing the Patriots Point pitch. #CharlestonBattery #USLChampionship #CannonCrue #BrooklynFC #LoudounUnited #VamosBattery

    Battery Collapse in Colorado: Is it time for a change??

    The Charleston Battery fought their way back into the match at Colorado Springs, equalized in the 81st minute and appeared ready to escape with a valuable road point. Then it all fell apart again. In this episode of Cannon CrÃŒe, Granit, Patrick and Ryan break down Charleston’s 2–1 loss to the Switchbacks and confront the issue that has become impossible to ignore: the Battery’s continuing inconsistency in goal. The crew examines both Colorado Springs goals, whether Luis Zamudio should remain the unquestioned starter and how repeated mistakes from the goalkeeper can affect the confidence and decision-making of the entire team. But the problems go beyond one position. Charleston followed a June in which the club scored 16 goals in four league matches with a July that produced only four goals across four matches. The Battery remain near the top of the Eastern Conference, but poor road performances, defensive breakdowns and an inability to protect results have left the team stuck in a crowded group of contenders. The conversation also expands into the larger direction of the club. Are the Battery doing enough on the field and behind the scenes to establish themselves as a future first-division organization? Where is the stadium vision? Is the club scouting and replacing departed talent effectively? And at what point do deep playoff runs need to become actual silverware? The episode is not entirely doom and gloom. The crew highlights the performances of Jeremy Kelly, Nathan Messer, Malik Foster and Wilmer Cabrera, while discussing possible lineup changes that could help Charleston regain its attacking energy. Finally, the guys preview the upcoming home match against Brooklyn FC—a team sitting near the bottom of the Eastern Conference that already defeated Charleston 3–0 earlier this season. For the Battery, this cannot be another flat performance against a struggling opponent. It is time to return the favor. In this episode: • Patrick celebrates—or defends—his first yellow card • Charleston’s disastrous road form • What went wrong on both Colorado Springs goals • Should the Battery rotate their goalkeepers? • How goalkeeping mistakes affect the entire team • Charleston’s dramatic decline from June to July • Why the club struggles to maintain momentum • The Battery’s first-division ambitions • Stadium development, scouting and roster replacement • Jeremy Kelly’s importance to the team • Why Malik Foster should receive more starts • Wilmer Cabrera’s impact from the bench • The importance of the upcoming Brooklyn FC rematch • Match predictions from Granit, Patrick and Ryan The Battery are still in the fight near the top of the Eastern Conference. But as the season enters August, the excuses are running out.

    Consistently Inconsistent: Battery Fall at Indy

    Charleston Battery created chances, controlled much of the match and finished with 18 shots—but still left Indianapolis with a 2–0 defeat. Granit, Patrick and Ryan break down the frustrating loss to Indy Eleven, including Charleston’s problems in front of goal, Graham Smith’s red card and Luis Zamudio’s ability to produce spectacular saves while still battling moments of inconsistency. The crew also discusses Emilio Ycaza’s growing leadership role and why his recent form has become so important to the Battery’s midfield. Then the conversation expands into a broader debate about officiating. Was Smith’s challenge really worthy of a red card? Do referees communicate enough with their assistants, coaches and captains? Should poor performances result in demotion, retraining or suspension? And could referees eventually face their own version of promotion and relegation? The episode closes with a brief look ahead to Charleston’s important USL Cup matchup against Charlotte Independence. Topics include: • Charleston’s missed opportunities against Indy Eleven• The red-card decision that changed the match• Luis Zamudio’s development and goalkeeper mentality• Emilio Ycaza’s emergence as a leader• Referee consistency and accountability• Communication between officials, players and coaches• VAR, human error and referee development• The upcoming match against Charlotte Independence Up the Battery.
