A formation change was not enough to bolster the defense, and Spurs Women suffered another heavy defeat in the WSL to North London rivals Arsenal, losing 0-3 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

We chat:

• Back 3 (or 5) confusion
• Another early goal concession
• Substitution timing
• Reassessing season prospects

Plus, we discuss a recent report about Spurs' investment compared to other WSL teams, lament the limited scouting network, and preview the upcoming League Cup group stage clash with Aston Villa.
