This Week In Arsenal

This Week In Arsenal, Sash (@ltarsenal on Twitter) and Sham (@Shamsdale) welcome back illustrious guest Chiddy (@chiddyafc) to discuss the last week's matches and news. First, they go over the controversial goal in Arsenal's 1-0 loss at Newcastle, analyzing each element of Anthony Gordon's problematic winner as well as why it shouldn't have stood. There is also a discussion of concerns over the PGMOL's lack of impartiality and how refereeing in the Premier League can be improved. The three then move on to Wednesday's comfortable 2-0 win at home to Sevilla. Specifically, they analyze Leandro Trossard's performance and whether he should play CF over Eddie Nketiah until Gabriel Jesus returns, as well as who Arsenal's starting LB should be out of Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oleksandr Zinchenko, and why Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli were able to find more space than in the Premier League. The trio close out with a discussion regarding what to do about yet another injury setback for Thomas Partey and whether Arsenal's attack is cause for concern.

They first chat about what was initially a good first half from Mikel Arteta's men, praising the performances of Leandro Trossard, Reiss Nelson, and Jakub Kiwior, and dissecting West Ham's goal that shouldn't have stood.

Sash and Sham also give their thoughts on whether the going out of the EFL Cup should be taken more seriously or whether it might be a blessing in disguise.

This Week In Arsenal, Sash (@ltarsenal on Twitter) and Sham (@Shamsdale) sit down to discuss the 2-2 draw the Gunners managed to scrape at Chelsea. They begin with a discussion regarding the starting XI, including the selection of Jorginho in midfield. Unfortunately, the two must once again contend with refereeing mishaps and examine Cole Palmer's "orange" card, the William Saliba handball call that led to Chelsea's first goal, and whether Robert Sanchez's rough contact with Gabriel Jesus should given Arsenal a penalty of their own. Sash and Sham then dissect some of the more lackluster performances on the day, zeroing in on Oleksandr Zinchenko and Martin Odegaard. Following that discussion, the duo take a moment to heap praise on Declan Rice before finishing with a discussion regarding whether it was a point gained or two points lost.
