Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie analyse Sunday's 4-0 victory over Aston Villa. They discuss the new midfield double pivot of Cooney-Cross and Mariona and how it worked, as well as what it says about how Kim Little is being managed this season. They discuss Arsenal's dominant first half, how Arsenal lost a little control in the first 20 minutes of the second half before wresting it back, Slegers' willingness to make half-time changes and the form of Lessi Russo and Stina Blackstenius. In the second half, Tim and Jamie take listener questions on the midfield, how the January transfer market might work with an interim manager still in charge and they discuss Slegers' suitability as a permanent candidate.

Arsenal Women Arsecast 99: Arsenal 4-0 Aston Villa

In this episode pore over yesterday's 1-1 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage. We discuss team selection and how the full backs in particular might have impacted aspects of our performance, the goal we conceded, the goal we scored, the goal we had disallowed and, crucially, the goal or goals we couldn't score. We chat about a potential reliance on set-pieces versus open play, and examine the options we had from the bench which widens out into a discussion about Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling, and the January transfer window. Then there are listener questions about the offside rule in its current format, Declan Rice and the 'left 8' position, why left back remains a problematic position and how we can deal with that going forward, some hashtag fun, and lots more.

Arsecast Extra Episode 615 - 09.12.2024

The Arsenal Women Arsecast launched in February 2019 with an exclusive interview with Leah Williamson, so we thought what better way to celebrate episode 100 than with another exclusive interview with Leah Williamson? Leah and Tim talk through the journey women’s football, Arsenal Women and Leah have been on since then. The lessons she learned winning the title in 2019, the impact of Covid on women’s football and the post Euro 2022 explosion in interest, the big crowds, increased scrutiny and fame and how Leah has dealt with it, as well as her outreach work in Jakarta and Jordan, as well as coping with the physical demands of elite football.

Arsenal Women Arsecast 100: Leah Williamson exclusive

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to discuss Arsenal's 3-0 win over Monaco on Wednesday evening. We begin with the decision to start Myles Lewis-Skelly, his role in the opening goal, and assess what was a very promising performance from the 18 year old, before discussing the first half chances which should have seen the Gunners have the gamn won by the break. Then there's analysis of Monaco's second half improvement, the change that really shifted the dynamic back in our favour, the impact yet again of Bukayo Saka and lots more.

Then I chat to David Squires, whose weekly Guardian cartoons have entertained us all down the years. He has a new book out, so we chat about some his process, how the madness of football provides a constant mine for his creative talents, and some of his Arsenal drawings. You can also win a copy of the new book 'Chaos in the Box: Chronicles from Modern Football' - which you can pick up now at your local independent bookstore.

Episode 811 - Hale End Gems

In this episode look back at Saturday's frustrating 0-0 draw with Everton, discussing missed opportunities in the first half, and a second 45 that was well below par. We chat about the changes Mikel Arteta made and how they impacted the performance, and look at some of the things he could possibly have tried instead. It then broadens out into a wider discussion about goal-scoring, chance creation, and 'chaos', as well as an examination of our attacking recruitment over the last number of years and whether that's an area we need to look at more closely. Then there are listener questions about the January transfer window, boos at the final whistle, what on earth is going on with Raheem Sterling, and lots more.

Arsecast Extra Episode 616 - 16.12.2024

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie dissect Sunday’s 1-0 win away at Liverpool off the back of a midweek trip to Oslo. Tim and Jamie discuss how the absence of Little and Walti meant Arsenal couldn’t control possession as well as usual, how Liverpool’s lack of attacking threat and the midweek trip played into the game state, as well as focus on the performances of Katie McCabe, Steph Catley, Beth Mead, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Mariona. In part two Tim and Jamie take listener questions on whether Renee Slegers has done enough to get the top job and a few on the January transfer window.

Arsenal Women Arsecast 101: Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal

In this episode I'm joined by Andrew Allen to discuss last night's 3-2 win over Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup quarter-final. After falling behind early, a second half hat-trick from Gabriel Jesus fired us into the semi-finals, and we chat about the unexpected – but very welcome – contribution from the Brazilian, and what this might mean for him going forward. There's also discussion of the half-time changes, Jakub Kiwior, Kieran Tierney, preferred opposition in the next round, and lots more.

Episode 812 - Gift of the Gab(i)

In this episode look back at Saturday's 5-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Gabriel Jesus was among the goals again, as well as producing a very good all-round performance, and we wonder if Arsenal ceding a bit of control made the team more effective in attack. There's analysis of that, the importance of David Raya, how second half changes gave us control and threat, as well as chat about this team's goalscoring capabilities. Then there are listener questions about time-wasting and how long we take at throw-ins, the injury to Bukayo Saka and how that might impact both the team and the January transfer window, and lots more.

Arsenal Women Arsecast 102: Half season review

In this episode look back the 1-0 win over Ipswich on Friday evening. We chat about the starting line-up in the absence of Bukayo Saka, the goal we scored through Kai Havertz, and how in a massively dominant first half we didn't create a lot of chances to score. That then leads to a wider discussion about how this is a developing trend for Arsenal, and whether or not the manager's outlook on the game is a factor. Does he sacrifice attacking threat for defensive stability? We also talk about the second half, the fine margins, and three important points, before we answer listener questions – starting with Saka's injury and what the club need to do in the January window (including some potential candidates for a transfer). There's also stuff on Myles Lewis-Skelly, using subs in the hectic period, Martin Odegaard's form and lots more.
