Episode 680 - Filling the gaps
In this episode I'm joined by Lewis Ambrose to chat about the tactical development of Mikel Arteta's team last season, some bad luck and some risky decisions, the crazy notion that Arsenal might improve further if we have a good transfer window, and the influence of Martin Odegaard and how that might be extended next season. We also chat about the financial disparity between the Premier League and Europe, how big teams got ruthless after suffering pain, the impending departure of Alexandre Lacazette, and more.Read the John Burn-Murdoch thread here: https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1530523036545335296Read Lewis' article here: https://arseblog.com/2022/06/tactics-column-how-a-young-arsenal-evolved-in-2021-22/Follow Lewis @LGAmbroseGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Episode 677 - The week that was
In this episode, I'm joined by Andrew Allen and Lewis Ambrose to talk about the week that we've just endured, the fallout from Monday night's defeat, and where it has left us. We assess aspects of the season, endeavour to find things that might have tipped the balance in our favour, discuss Aubameyang and January, the team's desperate need for more attacking presence, and lots more, including holding out just the tiniest sliver of hope for a final day miracle with results going our way.Follow Andrew @AAllenSport : Follow Lewis @LGAmbroseGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Arsecast Extra Episode 472 - 17.05.2022
In this episode we look back on the 2-0 defeat to Newcastle at St James' Park, a loss made all the more painful because it more or less ends our chances of Champions League football next season. We discuss the game and the sub-par performance from Arsenal, the impact of injuries and the lack of impact from substitutes, whether this was a team freezing at a big moment or one which has run out of steam, and the key ingredient that has been missing this season which will likely be the difference between us and the team that finishes fourth. We then answer listener questions about how to view the last few weeks and the whole season, Granit Xhaka's post-game comments, squad building, what Mikel Arteta will have learned during this campaign and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Arsecast Extra Episode 471 - 13.05.2022
In this episode we discuss the 3-0 defeat in the North London derby. We chat about the line-up, the key moments including Rob Holding's battle with Son and his subsequent red card, the penalty that was awarded against us, and the lack of a viable centre-half from the bench – especially in the circumstances of this particular game. There's also discussion of Mikel Arteta's post-game comments and those of Antonio Conte, the media's outlook about the game, as well as questions from listeners about what we do defensively against Newcastle on Monday, our red card reputation, more on the media narrative that surrounds the club this season, moving on from squad players, and LOADS more.Also, vote for James' book here: https://sportsbookawards.com/vote/Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
