New Tudor Era

It’s the first CADS episode of the New Tudor Era… and it starts with another 4–1 loss to Arsenal. We share first impressions of Igor Tudor after just five days in charge — his press conferences, the early tactical intentions, and the challenge of working with a threadbare squad full of players out of position. Then we break down the match: defensive issues, standout and struggling performances (including Bissouma, Pape Sarr, Xavi Simons, Conor Gallagher, Archie Gray, Djed Spence, Radu Drăgușin, Richarlison), and the big talking point — refereeing/VAR decisions involving Gabriel and technical area inconsistencies. We also discuss injuries and who might return (Porro, Danso, Romero, Udogie, Van de Ven, Maddison, Kulusevski), whether youth options like Luca Williams-Barnett should be used, the relegation picture, and wider concerns about recruitment, leadership, and the club’s direction — plus summer uncertainty and mentions of Pochettino and Paul Mitchell. Next up: Fulham.
