The Importance of Physicality in the Arsenal Midfield

In this episode, we discuss the 2-0 win over Newcastle at St James' Park. There's praise for Arsenal's game management and ability to stand up the home side's physical approach, not least because of the lack of refereeing intervention. We chat about the team selection, the decision to go with Jorginho in midfield, Martin Odegaard's contribution, missed chances, big saves from Aaron Ramsdale, Granit Xhaka's incredible defensive intervention and Spanish swearing, and keeping the pressure on Man City. Then we answer listener questions about Jakub Kiwior, the time-wasting/shithousery aspect of the performance, adding experience to the youthful aspects of the team, Kieran Tierney's impressive cameo, and lots more, including magpie facts.
