In this episode we look back at Sunday's 2-2 draw with Liverpool. Arsenal had a bad first half, conceding two very sloppy goals, but turned things around with a much improved second half performance. We chat about the key incidents, tactical changes at the break, the goals we scored, receiving yet another red card, almost winning it at the end, Liverpool fans booing their own player, and Mikel Arteta's post-match comments which verged on furious despite the fact we took what was a very important point. Then we answer listener questions about Ethan Nwaneri's lack of recent playing time, Gabriel Martinelli up front, what influence Andrea Berta will have this summer, spending on a back-up goalkeeper, 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.

Episode 829 - That final step
In this episode I'm joined first by Andrew Allen to discuss the 2-1 defeat to PSG on Wednesday evening. We analyse the match, Arsenal's bright start and those early chances, PSG's goals coming from our own errors, the tactical decision to go long so early in the second half, the fact we didn't use Ethan Nwaneri even when we needed a goal, the heroics of Gianluigi Donnarumma, the evergreen discussion of the Gunners firepower and lots more.Then I have a quick chat with James to get his reflections on the night and the tie overall, where it leaves Arsenal for what remains of this season, how we navigate the remaining fixtures, and whether the solution this summer is as simple as adding forwards.Follow Andrew on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/aallensport.arseblog.com :: Follow James on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gunnerblog.bsky.socialGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Arsenal Women Arsecast 121: Bank Holiday Blues
In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie analyse Arsenal’s 4-2 defeat to Brighton on Monday that leaves them needing a point against Manchester United on the final day to seal 2nd place. They talk about Arsenal’s issues with Brighton’s press, familiar vulnerabilities to pace and power through the middle of the team, as well as the trade-off between greater fluidity and chance creation under Renee Slegers but greater vulnerability to counter-attacks. In the second half, there are questions about the goalkeeping situation, how to defend better against counter attacks and whether there is a mentality issue with conceding goals in clusters.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 638 - 05.05.2025
In this episode we look back at Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth. Mikel Arteta picked a strong side ahead of Wednesday's clash with PSG, did that play a part in how people felt about losing this game? We chat about the line-up, going ahead before being pegged back, substitutions and their timing and the message that sends, full-time reaction, recent league form, and our issues with goalscoring which have been a constant theme this season. Then we answer listener questions, few of which are about PSG, but we deal with how the team has performed in adversity this season, whether Arteta needs to let the reins loose a little, creativity in midfield, Max Dowman, Martin Odegaard, the captaincy 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.
