00:00 Obviously, we're sort of halfway through the week this week, so we can discuss last week's
00:08 results as well as some upcoming pictures this week. What were your biggest takeaways
00:13 from the weekend, Georgia? Georgia: I think Beth Mead being back for Arsenal
00:19 was a very big talking point. Obviously, she's been out with her ACL, so that was good to
00:25 see her get back. Not only did she come back, but she provided an assist for Alessia Russo's
00:30 goal, which was her first for Arsenal in the WSL. Big moments all around, huge for Arsenal
00:39 in this top of the table. I'm not going to say title because I don't want to jinx anybody,
00:44 but top of the table clash. How long do you think before we see Beth Mead
00:48 do a full 90 minutes? I think the fact she got an assist, I don't
00:53 think anybody expected it. What did she get, maybe 20 minutes? I think maybe people expected
00:58 her to come on, have a little trot around, and then leave. She was just like, "No, I'm
01:02 going to get stuck in. This is what I do best," and it is what she does best. She's so good
01:07 up front. No matter how good Arsenal are, they have missed her. Anybody would miss Beth
01:12 Mead. She hasn't been called up to England, which obviously they're different managers,
01:18 so Serena could be saying it's too early. I don't know. I wouldn't want to say, "Oh,
01:25 give her 90 minutes the next time Arsenal play," but she looked ready. She really did.
01:31 It's just a matter of what Jonas feels is right, and whether she feels it's right. She
01:36 could have come off with, "Oh, my knee's hurting a little bit," and they take it from there.
01:40 If she felt good, plus with the buzz of getting an assist, why not?
