This Week In Arsenal

This week, Sash (@ltarsenal on Twitter) and Sham (now @Shamsdale) start by discussing Arsenal's defeat at the hands of Sean Dyche's rejuvenated Everton side at Goodison Park. They delve into how Dyche's game plan affected Arsenal, the performances of players such as Gabriel Martinelli and Ben White, Jorginho's debut, and the effectiveness of Mikel Arteta's substitutions. They then turned to Spurs' 1-0 victory against Manchester City courtesy of a record-breaking goal from Harry Kane, forever one of our own. After that, the guys briefly discuss the developing situation in which City face over 100 charges of breaking the Premier League's financial rules, and how that could impact City in both the short- and long-term. Finally, Sash and Sham answer listener questions on matters such as how Arsenal can deal with mid/low blocks for the remainder of the season and whether the players might be fatigued. Don't miss it!

Sash and Sham sit down and talk about Arsenal's 0-1 loss at Manchester City in the FA Cup. Specifically, they go over Rob Holding's ultimately somewhat successful struggle against Erling Haaland, Sambi Lokonga's performance and the circumstances that currently make him persona non grata among the Arsenal faithful, and how going out of the FA Cup in the manner they did can prove helpful for the Gunners moving forward. They then discuss Arsenal's and City's remaining fixtures and a seeming uphill battle for Pep Guardiola's men. After that comes a chat about the Moises Caicedo transfer saga, including Arsenal's bargaining position and the importance of signing a player in that position. After touching on how Folarin Balogun's great season at Reims could affect our striker room long-term, the guys answer listener questions before signing off. It's a cracking episode, you should check it out.

P.S. - apologies for Sham's crackly audio!

In the inaugural episode of This Week in Arsenal, Sash (@ltarsenal) and Sham (@dopegooner) celebrate Arsenal's 3-2 win at home against United. They start by chatting about how great it feels to beat one of Arsenal's historic rivals. The guys then discuss Eddie Nketiah's massive performance, Bukayo Saka's "Salah moment", the bogus narrative around Mikel Arteta's touchline behavior, and other aspects and moments of the match. After the break, they take questions from listeners on Leandro Trossard's tactical impact, Arsenal's top three players of the season so far, Kieran Tierney's potential fate, and what to do with Takehiro Tomiyasu.
