Thank you. Hello and welcome to the total soccer show. My name is Daryl Grove and I'm joined by a man who knows whether or not Robin Hood Financial is a bank. His name is Taylor Rockwell. Hello. Hello. It obviously is. It is not. We should be

really clear. We should be clear. It is not. It is not 100%. But we can say that Chelsea Arsenal

was an entertaining soccer match. It was. It definitely was, albeit confusing and erratic and high intensity, all of those things. But we're going to make sense of it. So we're going to start today's show with a quick-ish by top of soccer show standards review of Chelsea Arsenal. Because I just realized, or we realized, we haven't sat down together and analyzed a game in a little while. No, we've not. It's been a good long time. We want to get a match sharp again before the next U.S. women's national team, Concord, Catholic Olympic qualifiers come around, and the U.S. men's team friendly against Costa Rica. And then we have seven listener questions to answer on today's show.

It's going to be a busy one.

We'll be match fit by the end. We will. This is our January camp. This is also being recorded as Manchester United are presently losing to Burnley, so I'm going to try to ignore that and not worry about it at all. Please don't. This is not a Manchester United show. Put them out of your head. All right. Everything will be fine in like 20 years.

No, thank you.

I really don't.

All right, so first up, Chelsea Arsenal finished 2-2. It was a banger. I would argue it was a bang-out. Sort of because of the David Louise red card sent things nice and wild. But I'd even argue this was going to be a good game no matter what based on what we saw in the first 25 minutes. You mean just the way that both teams, I think, first off with the Derby, with like, you know, the London rivalry there. I think that always ratchets things up. And I think as a result, you're always going to get like crazy high intensity and a difficult first 10 minutes if you are trying to analyze it tactically because it's just sort of all over the place. I think it's also about the managers. But then I think it's also about the managers in the way they set their teams out.

Yeah. difficult first 10 minutes if you are trying to analyze it tactically because it's just sort of all over the place. But I think it's also about the managers. But then I think it's also about the managers in the way they set their teams out with high blocks, high pressure, more or less consistently means a lot of players with not much time on the ball, but still trying to play out when it's all possible. Good players with not much time on the ball, being put to the test and trying to play out. And awesome Mustafa.

It was exciting to watch.
