There's also some Zinchenko, Odegaard and Smith Rowe, before we go into part 2 with some Arsenal related dreams, and questions about Mikel Arteta, the pathway for young players as the team improves and it becomes more difficult to break through, Folarin Balogun's international future, Ethan Nwaneri, the Gabriel Jesus documentary, and lots more.

Episode 723 - Interlull Q&A

In this episode we look back at the 4-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday, which put us 8 points clear at the top of the table. We discuss team selection, not least Rob Holding starting his first Premier League game of the season, and how he acquitted himself. We continue to marvel at the contributions of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli as they got three of our four goals, there's the goal we conceded, some Ben White fun, scoring the fourth, and sealing the points to put pressure on our title rivals. Then there are questions about how we might deal with the right back issue, changes at board level, the coaching staff and in particular some of the younger members, and loads more, including that Antonio Conte press conference. Here's the Conte piece I mention in the pod: <a href="https://arseblog.com/2021/11/no-man-is-powerful-enough-to-thwart-nature/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://arseblog.com/2021/11/no-man-is-powerful-enough-to-thwart-nature/</a> Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/arseblog" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/arseblog</a>

&nbsp;In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to discuss Arsenal's Europa League exit at the hands of Sporting CP. We chat about the team selection, going ahead in the first half, but also the impact of picking up two injuries and having to make two changes in that period. There's discussion of the second half, not winning our duels, midfield being a bit lightweight, and the goal that Sporting scored – before we do extra-time and penalties, Martinelli missing and Ramsdale not making a save. Looking for silver linings regarding our Premier League title challenge rounds out the episode.

Arsecast Extra Episode 516 - 13.03.2023

In this episode I'm joined by Andrew Allen to discuss the 2-2 draw with Sporting CP in the Europa League Round of 16. It felt very much like a first leg, and we chat about some of Arsenal's good moments, interspersed with some iffy ones. Their first goal didn't look pretty and it could easily have been 3-1 before we made it 2-2. Still, we made 6 changes, had a lot of players missing through injury and illness, and the tie is very much alive for the second leg in London next week.

Episode 721 - 1st Leg Reaction

In this episode we relive the extraordinary 3-2 win over Bournemouth on Saturday. On a day of huge emotion, we try to analyse the game as best we can, from team selection, to going behind, then 2-0 down, and afterwards the incredible comeback culminating in Reiss Nelson's late, great winner. But we're fans too, so we talk about how it feels and what it means for the supporters, as well as the players, manager and everybody associated with the club in a season which promises so much. There's a lot going on, plus questions about Nelson's future, Fabio Vieira, defensive and set-piece issues, the emotional elements of games and performances like this, and so much more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/arseblog" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/arseblog</a>
