Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode we look back at the 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday. We start by reckoning with the fact we've extended our lead at the top, despite a sense of frustration that permeated after a goalless draw. Then we move onto the match itself, and the key incidents including big chances missed by Gabriel Martinelli and Viktor Gyokeres, with some focus on the striker, what he's not bringing to the team right now, and what that requires of Mikel Arteta. There were second half changes, a slightly contentious penalty incident, but the game played out in disappointing fashion as we struggled to create. In part 2 there are questions about our attacking potency based on some stats, Declan Rice's 'outburst' at the end, how we view draws, Martin Odegaard, reconfiguring midfield from time to time, and loads more.

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to look back on Wednesday's 3-2 win over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge. We chat about the early goal which silenced some noisy home fans, and a relatively even first half, before Viktor Gyokeres got a much needed goal to make it 2-0. We discuss the goal we conceded before making it 3-1, and the chances we missed to go further ahead before they got another goal back. We analyse some individual performances, like Martin Zubimendi and William Saliba, and look at this is as a positive result which could have been even better, but which leaves us with some work to do in the second leg. All that, and lots more.

In this episode we look back at Sunday's 4-1 FA Cup win over Portsmouth. We discuss the 10 changes Mikel Arteta made to his side, and whether that contributed to an iffy start for the Gunners, before we focus on Gabriel Martinelli's fine hat-trick, the ups and downs of Noni Madueke's performance, the return of Kai Havertz after such a lengthy absence, and how it was nice to experience a game without all the stress and anxiety that is part of the Premier League season so far. We also answer questions about Myles Lewis-Skelly, the upcoming Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea, links to Marc Guehi, as well as reaction to the Per Mertesacker news and lots more.
