Episode notes

- Fans and club voices are increasingly targeting head coach accountability for underperformance.
Prepare Thoroughly For Brentford Trip
- Treat Brentford seriously: prepare for set-piece and structured counter patterns against dynamic mid-table sides.
- Maintain control and composure; Arteta's Arsenal will likely punish lapses, so minimise turnovers.
Newcastle's Project Is Stalling
