Summary
In this episode we look back at Saturday evening's 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Southampton, a game which has scratched at some old wounds/worries about this Arsenal team. We chat about team selection, and individual errors that punctuated the performance which proved so costly on the night. We analyse the goals we conceded, how we failed to capitalise on the equaliser we scored in the second half, and how collectively and individually we were so far below par. Then it's about what this defeat means for our season overall, how important it is to put in a performance against Sporting on Tuesday, before we answer listener questions about Max Dowman after his impressive performance, when is the right time to go out of the cups, the futures of certain players, Mikel Arteta's press conference quotes, and lots more.
