The Front 3 Football Podcast

The Gunners are misfiring right now, and it doesn't feel like Mikel Arteta has the answers.

We spoke to Ali Tweedale of the Coaches' Voice to try and better understand why Arsenal are struggling this season and how best to fix the situation.

You can find more of Ali's work on Twitter at @AliTweedale.

Mesut Ozil has been left out of Arsenal's Premier League squad for the season. The club are adamant the decision has nothing to do with the German midfielder condemning China's treatment of Uighur Muslims, or his refusal to take a pay cut during the Covid-19 pandemic. But that seems very hard to believe. What has happened to Ozil? And is there any way back for him at Arsenal?

Project: Big Picture is here to save football. Or at least its supporters would have you believe. The proposals, spearheaded by Liverpool and Man Utd's owners, would give much needed financial aid to EFL clubs - but would also strengthen the power of the 'big six' and threaten to dilute the competitiveness of the Premier League. Adam, Laurence and Kris discuss why it's a bad idea, and what the project could mean for English football - even if it fails to go through now.

It was a weekend of memorable performances; none more so that Patrice Evra on Sky Sports. So memorable was Evra's performance, that his emotional reaction almost overshadowed the actual football, with little to no analysis of Tottenham's 6-1 hammering of Manchester United, with the focus instead on the former Red Devil's outburst. Is Evra simply a one of a kind fan/pundit hybrid? Or is this a sign of broadcast Premier League coverage in the UK learning from the success of fan media - where big personalities, rants and extreme reactions guarantee the most valuable commodity of all - your attention.

Pep Guardiola has now spent over £400m on defenders since joining Manchester City is 2016 - with £65m centre back Ruben Dias the latest addition to the backline. But will he solve any of City's defensive issues under Guardiola?

Adam, Kris and Nico look at the influence of Jorge Mendes at Wolves, with six of his clients now at Molineux under Nuno Espirito Santos - and that's not including the manager himself. With the arrival of £35m wonderkid Fabio Silva also reported to have involved the Portuguese super agent, just how much control does he have at the club?

We hope you enjoy the first new podcast of the new series. We're changing things up a little bit this season by looking to focus on one topic every Wednesday that interests us, and hopefully you too. Let us know what you think - leave us a review or get us on Twitter @TheFront3. Much love!
