About this episode

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to discuss Arsenal's 2-0 defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg. We chat about team selection, early problems, Martin Odegaard's miss coming just before their opening goal, uncharacteristic defensive instability, gifting them the goal which sealed the tie, and reflecting on the two legs overall and how/why the Gunners fell short in such disappointing/frustrating fashion. We also discuss the captain and his 'struggles' of late, the team heading off on a Dubai break, media coverage of Myles Lewis-Skelly in the wake of his goal against Man City, the sanitisation of the game with regards celebrations, and lots more.
