6: Arsenal’s Shock Relegation Battle Position, Utd Top 4 Resurrection + Is Arteta Out Of His Depth?
Rage continues for Arsenal but hope grows for United as we bring you the sixth episode of our growing podcast, focusing this week on reviewing our seasons so far and 3 huge league games up to Christmas, including Arsenal’s shock defeats at home to Burnley and away to Everton, as well as a gritty 1-1 draw to Southampton and we investigate whether manager Mikel Arteta is now indefensible and out of his depth after a torrid run of form leaves the Gunners not far from the relegation zone, as well as if players are to blame due to attitude and discipline.
We also review United’s turn in form to sneak into the top four after wins at Sheffield United and a 6-2 battering of Leeds at Old Trafford put them back into contention for a top four place and potentially even a surprise title push. We preview Arsenal’s increasingly difficult run-in against Manchester City in the EFL Cup quarterfinals and Chelsea in a crucial do-or-die Premier League match on Boxing Day, and United’s own Cup clash against Everton and league face-off with Leicester on 26th December.
Other topics looked into include stark comparisons between Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo due to him breaking goal scoring records, Arsenal technical director Edu’s controversial comments about backing under-fire Arteta and refusal to give heavy financial backing as well as transfer rumours including Aouar, Buendía, outgoings for United and many more topics.
