Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode we discuss the 1-0 defeat to Southampton at the weekend, discussing Mikel Arteta's team selection, the overall performance, chances missed, the goal we conceded, an inability to turn second half dominance into goals of our own, before there's a long chat about how what's happening now is a consequence of the January transfer window and our inaction in that period. We also answer questions from listeners about too much crossing, overrating our young players, more football people at executive level, whether there has actually been progress this season, Alexandre Lacazette's comments, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog – this month every penny we earn from Patreon will be donated to Unicef to help children affected by conflict around the world.

In this episode we discuss the 2-1 defeat to Brighton on Saturday. We start with Granit Xhaka's selection at left-back, how it impacted the team, and what it means for Nuno Tavares. We chat about the goals we conceded, the lacklustre performance when there was supposed to be a reaction, some poor decision making, and how a late flurry wasn't enough to prevent a truly disheartening result. There's also stuff on Alexandre Lacazette and the need for a change up front, as well as questions about a shift in formation, keeping fringe players more involved, VAR, our top four chances and Mikel Arteta, great rivalries and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog – this month every penny we earn from Patreon will be donated to Unicef to help children affected by conflict around the world.

In this episode, I'm joined by Charles Watts to discuss a difficult week for Arsenal on and off the pitch. We chat about the fallout from the Crystal Palace game, and injuries to two key players - Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey, as well as the best way for Mikel Arteta to deal with their absences with Nuno Tavares and Albert Sambi Lokonga waiting in the wings. There's also a long discussion about what to do up front, with Alexandre Lacazette's lack of goalscoring contribution now becoming a significant issue for the team. Should being shorn of two experienced players have an impact on the Frenchman's place in the team? All that, and much more, including a reminder of our fundraising efforts this month.Follow Charles on Twitter @charles_wattsGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog – this month every penny we earn from Patreon will be donated to Unicef to help children affected by conflict around the world.Donate to the Arsenal Vision Podcast fundraiser, raising money for the Arsenal Foundation: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/avpgives Hosted on Acast.

We chat about the substitutions, and there's a long discussion based on questions about how we cope with injuries to Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey, whether Nuno Tavares will continue at left-back having been taken off at half-time, potential changes up front and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog – this month every penny we earn from Patreon will be donated to Unicef to help children affected by conflict around the world.
