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: https://arseblog.com/2021/11/no-man-is-powerful-enough-to-thwart-nature/Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

 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.
