Caught In Two Minds

Today on the podcast E and Fitz discuss the Arsenal 2-0 win against Newcastle. E. commented on the energy and correct mentality Arsenal started the match, and Fitz talked about the speed at which Arsenal passed the ball. They both complained about the NBC sports split screen coverage of the Manchester United Insurrection/protest and how it ruined the game for Arsenal fans watching in the US. They also gave some predictions about the lineups for the second leg of the semifinal Europa league match against Villarreal.

Arsenal traveled to Spain to take on Villarreal in the Europa League semi-final first leg. Arteta showed his lack of coaching experience when he went with a false #9. The Gunners barely put a shot on target in the first half and gave a goal away within the first five minutes of the match. If it wasn't for a Villarreal melt down halfway through the second half, the tie would have been over, but as usual Arteta and Arsenal get lucky and score an away goal. There is still hope for the Gunners, but if the defensive mistakes continue, the return leg is going to be nerve racking.

Today on the podcast E. and Fitz discuss the aftermath of the European Super League fallout, and what it means for Arsenal supporters and Stan Kroenke. E. makes the point that Caught In Two Minds podcast has been calling for Stan Kroenke to sell the club since the beginning. The two hosts also talk about Leno's goalkeeping blunders.

Today on the podcast E. and Fitz discuss VAR and how it is destroying football. E has a theory that commercials will soon come to all VAR decisions, and the Barclays Premier League will present matches in the same way as the NFL with tons of commercials during VAR decisions.

Arsenal Into The Semi-Finals. Today on the podcast E and Fitz discuss the quarter-finals match between Slavia Prague vs Arsenal. E notice it took a while for Arsenal to get going, but once they did, the match turned into a dominating first half for Arsenal. Fitz raved about Emile Smith-Rowe's development and mentioned he thought ESR had a higher ceiling than Bukayo Saka. The two hosts heaped praise on Lacazette's professionalism and technique, and Fitz awarded him the man of the match. Tremendous result for Arsenal who now take on Villareal and Unai Emery in the next round of the Europa League for a spot in the finals.

Today on the podcast E. and Fitz discuss the Sheffield United vs Arsenal match. The two hosts complimented the one touch football that Arsenal fans expect. The first goal was a thing of beauty with Ceballos slipping Lacazette a pass for his calm finish. Fitz commented on Chambers' play at right back, and the two praised Ceballos for bouncing back after a couple rough performances.

 Today on the podcast E. Marshal and Fitz discuss the Europa League quarter -final match between Arsenal and Slavia Prague. The two agreed that Auba should not have started, because he is a better option off the bench to score a late goal. Ironically Aubameyang setup the go ahead goal to Pepe who finished it calmly unlike Lacazette earlier in the match. But in the end E. Marshal had a sneaky feeling the match would end in a draw.

Today on the podcast E. Marshal and Fitz discuss the Arsenal vs Liverpool match. A match in which Arsenal loose 3-0 to a Liverpool team firing on all cylinders, especially in the second half. The Gunners held the defense together in the first half, but the same ole mistakes that plagued Arsenal throughout this dreadful season reared their ugly heads in the second half. E. Marshal talked about Gabriel's first half performance compared to his second half performance, and how the team looked like they were still on the international break.

Today on the podcast E. and Fitz discuss the London Derby between West Ham and Arsenal. The Gunners came out flat and found themselves down 3-0 within the first 32 mins of the match. Arsenal showed a lot of heart to fight back and earn a draw, but as E. points out Arsenal should have never been in that predicament to begin with, and Arteta has to do a better job of having his squad ready to go at the start of a match. #Arsenal #PremierLeague #WestHam
