Hosts analyze key tactics for Gotham FC vs. Seattle Reign (Part 4)

Potentially the first two games and then being fairly close to home for the championship potentially as well. So I think again for us, one game at a time, refocusing very quickly. And I think all of our mind is set on one thing, which is that trophy at the end of the three weeks. Well, thank you so much everyone here at Football W. We're so happy for you. Congratulations on the shield and we can't wait to watch on Sunday. We're also calling the game so we will be front row and center cheering you on. So good luck and have so much fun. Thanks again. Thank you so much for having me again. I think it's the fourth time, maybe fourth time. Always great to have Jaden on our airways. So Gotham FC against Seattle Reign, at least in the NWSL since 2023 has had a few more wins. Their rival Seattle here coming this weekend, five wins, just one loss and three draws. Fifteen goals versus eight that we've seen from Seattle and just all around the production a little bit better. But we just heard Jaden talk about what they can expect here against Seattle. Obviously very conscious of their service, especially their aerial play here, Jeff. But you're going to take a little deep dive into what we can also expect from Gotham against Seattle here. You picked out three plays. So my first question to you is how can Seattle hurt Gotham? Yeah, we'll look back at these games that they played. I mean, certainly in that first game too, we saw that they were able to capitalize on some of Gotham's mistakes. Did not finish their chances. But if you look here and you can find this, this is the game they played in July in New York. And you look at this, the space in behind Gotham's back line, you can see how high Jess Carter is. You can see this came off a Seattle goal kick. One simple ball from Phoebe McLernan over the top. Matty Dahlin is not there because of injury. Matty Mercado is though, of course team's leading goal scorer. This back line tends to play a bit high and Katran Berger will come up and try to be a sweeper keeper. But they have been exposed with that at times. You can see they got exposed with it here. That happened in Orlando recently. So I think that is an opportunity for Seattle, a team that doesn't score a lot of goals, to potentially take their opportunities when they come because there's not going to be a lot of them. Yeah, and AKB even kind of looked a little surprised they're coming back here to protect her goal. Jeff, what do you got for us next? Well, you can see ball comes out wide here to Jaden Shaw. And what you want to actually look at here is the back post. Now, this is Esther Gonzalez, obviously also departed. A lot of changes going on here, right?
