THE NORTH BANK - An Arsenal Podcast

The season starts now. A big week lies ahead as we travel to Elland Road, host Chelsea in the second leg of the semi, with Sunderland visiting the Emirates the following Saturday. Three wins and our recent woes will be but a distant memory. Join Holly and Stef as we look back at Arteta's press conference, our performance against Kairat and ahead to the game with Leeds. Will Arteta be a bit more adventurous with his team and tactics on Saturday? Who should get the nod in our attacking positions? Odegaard or Eze or Havertz? Trossard or Martinelli? Gyokeres or Jesus?

Not the United review we hoped we'd be recording, but perhaps the United review we feared we would.
Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we attempt to make everyone feel better about life as an Arsenal fan at the moment. We are still top of the league after all. We examine whether our lack of open play goals is a systemic issue, a player issue or simply a consequence of pressure. We explore possible solutions, from resting certain players, promoting others, to being more adventurous in the final third. We pick our teams for Kairat on Wednesday - should Arteta rotate the lot, or send the attackers out again in the hope they can find some confidence?

It's here. The one game of the season I dread, home to Man United. Scarred by far too many defeats against this opposition I struggle to look forward to these games.
But, join Holly, Stef and Chris as we chat through where we think the game can be won and lost. How will Carrick set them up? Who starts up front for us? What about left back, Lewis-Skelly, or Timber? We also react to the financial data put out by Deloitte regarding revenues, as Arsenal are moving up that table as well. There is the return of a quiz (name the 6 players to play for both clubs in the Premier League era) and a quick look back at the midweek fixtures.

Well that was fun, wasn't it? Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we give our instant reactions to winning 3-1 in the San Siro against Inter Milan. Arteta leaned into his squad, and boy did they reward his trust. Two goals for Jesus, one for Gyokeres, but who starts up front against United on Sunday? Special mentions for Mosquera, Lewis-Skelly and Saka. Nwaneri and Zinchenko also get a mention, and there's a little chuckle at City and Spurs.

For the second consecutive league game we are faced with addressing the old debate of two points dropped or one point gained. So, which is it? Forest, with no shots on target, clearly played for the draw, whilst we had an xG of over 2, created 4 big chances and could have had a penalty.
Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we attempt to work out how we feel about the game itself. Focus falls on an impotent attack, and how we can get the best out of the skill sets we possess. Is it personnel, or systemic, fatigue, or an obdurate opponent? We also look ahead to the trip to Milan on Tuesday, mindful that there's the small matter of United next Sunday.
