ThatSportsChick, Frida Maanum: Arsenal midfielder 'stable' after collapsing off ball during Conti Cup final win over Chelsea
Shocking scenes in the Conti Cup final after Maanum got stretchered off. Marred the occasion and the atmosphere around the tie was definitely dampened after that point.
Glad to hear that she is conscious and stable, however. Thoughts are with her for sure.

ThatSportsChick, Arsenal to target goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar, as interest in Mary Earps cools
Red hot exclusive from The Telegraph as they suggest #Arsenal Women may shift their focus from Earps to van Domselaar for the summer transfer window.
van Domselaar has been a stand-out performer for Villa and the Netherlands, but Earps is out of contract and is still the better immediate choice. Big loss for Villa though.
30yrdscreamer, #arsenal are in with a very good chance to set a new #PremierLeague score record here.
mlawton, @30yrdscreamer when they're on, they're quite good. I don't like some of their players, but I don't hate the way they play.
But I also don't think they are all that deep. They are fortunate they haven't had to endure a spate of injuries.
mike,
vruz, I'm more interested in other properties of the Mike subparticles.
For example, quantum teleportation of state.
If Mike Taylor starts chanting YNWA whilst he is at the Anfield Road stand, does Mike Lawton's state change immediately, instantly in a faster-than-light fashion, as he's standing on The Kop on the opposite end, and he begins to sing it too?
mlawton,
QuietlyUninspiring, For the record, I really like Onana as a player. Last season he was immense in undoing us at Goodison. I get that he's not what we need as a priority right now but at 22 I can see why Arteta would want him and I did think he could give us other options tactically (especially important if Partey does leave). I'm not sure there's any substance to it all anyway. #Arsenal
QuietlyUninspiring, @brecht a double pivot with Rice and Odegaard as 10? An option if we don't want to rely on inverted full backs maybe?
brecht, @QuietlyUninspiring That might work yes, though even then it probably makes more sense to wait for the summer, and focus on more urgent needs now.

thatdosbox, BBC - Arsenal's Lia Walti says club have 'built something huge with fans'
Love to see it:
"We've had every away game sold out so far this season I think which shows how much the club is doing all the right things to help the women's game grow"
thatdosbox, Arseblog - an in-depth look at Arsenal Women's lack of ethnic diversity
This is a good long read on the issues around diversity in Women's football in England, and puts the recent furor over the Arsenal squad photo in context. I am once again in awe of Alex Scott for how she's managed to thrive in spite of the barriers she's had to push past.
MHPengwingz, I do like that Hale End had their own thing where the employees do a bit of groundwork themselves. I’ve also read about how tech is playing a role in it where aspiring footballers can upload their stuff on to scouting networks. That should be made more accessible.
thatdosbox, That would certainly help with the scouting of players, but the bigger issue is getting kids into organized games and coaching in the first place.

Good breakdown of the set piece strategy for the game vs Burnley from the animated Korean cat
thatdosbox, @sensiblepuffin probably because I forgot to paste it in 🤦♀️
sensiblepuffin, Happens to the best of us. And an excellent video as always from Catsenal.

Another good breakdown by the animated cat on the tactics employed by Arsenal last week.
Detailed as always, so slowing down playback might be a good idea.
sensiblepuffin, Love the shoutout to Tomi at the end :)
thatdosbox, (edited ) Analysis: Why have Arsenal Women struggled against deep defensive blocks this season?
From Tim Stillman: "The technical instability at centre-half and number 10 has made Arsenal less convincing in the exact area opposing defences have clogged up and targeted. This has meant a high number of crosses, with Arsenal averaging 35.3 per game so far this season, compared to 24.4 last season."
Astrealix, I miss Rafa. And Leah. I think any analysis of the women’s team’s defence has to account for losing them and signing a whole new pairing in Codina and Ilestedt, even if they’re not starting every game or anything. The standards are also just getting higher and higher in the WSL. That being said I mean Jonas said it himself: too much opportunistic crossing. And the GK situation needs work…
thatdosbox, Yeah, Jonas seems well-aware of the issues in attack, and I suspect he's as happy that Viv and Beth are coming back as we are.

soycapitan451, Used to watch these back on the “other” site. Good to see the cross post!
Arsenal4ever, This is awesome.

mlawton, @jessuvaleria it was such a cowardly decision. Michael Oliver always looks scared.

ethicalrevolution, @hallenbeck @Jfrites @notthatmilo @spurs Sadly not. It’s nigh on impossible to get tickets even as a Hotspur+ member. I log on well before the tickets go on sale, wait in the queue and grab what I can. Managed to get singles not sat next to each other but close enough for Sheff Utd but Liverpool had none in the same block, same for Newcastle. There is so much excitement, it’s such a contrast to getting tickets last season!! Will try again next ticket window for those games but won’t hold my breath…
Jfrites, @ethicalrevolution @hallenbeck @notthatmilo @spurs Since I am coming from the US I just went through Millenium Tickets and bought premier lounge seats. I can’t risk not getting in.
