Arsenal Women Analysis: Arsenal Tune into Leicester Channels
When Arsenal start with Stina Blackstenius upfront, it usually signals they expect an opponent that plays a high line or is vulnerable in the channels. Under manager Rick Passmore, Leicester have consistently used a back three formation.
After the match, Arseblog News asked Renee Slegers if Arsenal had a specific plan to exploit Leicester's channels. She replied:
“We always want to look at the opposition and identify opportunities while considering our squad’s strengths. Stina’s performance today showcased everything she excels at. She played to her strengths, and the team created some excellent chances for her. I’m pleased with her impact, and I believe we found good moments to take advantage of what Leicester gave us.”
Arsenal’s Approach to Exploiting Leicester’s Narrow Back Line
Arsenal’s strategy to target Leicester’s channels begins right from the kickoff. Just five seconds into the game, Steph Catley received the ball and immediately set Blackstenius through on goal, missing a chance that could have been one of the fastest in WSL history. Unfortunately, Stina took a heavy touch and Leicester managed to clear the danger.
