On this month’s mailbag edition, Tim is joined by Art de Roche from the Athletic to look at Arsenal’s opening two games and look ahead to Saturday’s North London derby. Art and Tim take listener questions on the midfield structure for opponents who press hard, why WSL games are proving to be poor preparation for UWCL games, whether it is already time to expand the UWCL format and whether the WSL could be more creative in encouraging more shocks and more competitive games. Tim and Art also address the subject of squad rotation and why Spurs might be better preparation for Ajax than Brighton were. There is also a discussion about the competition between Laura Wienroither and Noelle Maritz at right-back.You can follow Tim on Twitter @Stillberto - Follow Art @artderocheGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
