    Arsenal Are Not as Defensive as You Think

    Patrick and Ted go through the weekend’s Premier League action, starting with Arsenal beating Liverpool. Arsenal have a defensive reputation, but this match suggests more is going on: more bodies in the box, more fluid rotations and Ødegaard pulling Van Dijk out of position. Why should Liverpool take heart from the performance? Chelsea beat Man United, but did we get a look at the next evolution of set pieces? Plus Sunderland’s bad luck, Brighton’s good luck at the Etihad, and a host of teams in between.

    Carrick Is Taking Manchester United Backwards + Man City Beat Liverpool, But Did Anything Matter?

    Manchester City beat Liverpool, but did anything about it matter? Patrick and Neel review the weekend in the Premier League and La Liga. They start with City’s win at Anfield, Haaland’s new Abu Dhabi house and the siege mentality around the club, then ask whether Liverpool’s midfield balance and Florian Wirtz’s role are fixable. Then they turn to Manchester United’s draw with Spurs. Why do Carrick’s United keep falling for the same pressing trap, and can they create anything against a low block? Plus: whether De Zerbi’s patterns are anywhere to be seen, Mourinho’s struggling Real Madrid, and Chelsea and Fulham.
