Summary
In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie try to make some sense of Arsenal's 3-2 defeat away at Manchester City on Saturday and how much it can be isolated from previous disappointing results. Tim and Jamie discuss changes to the line-up, why there's so little consensus among fans about the issues in recent games and how City were more ruthless with their attacks than the Gunners. Then there are your questions submitted on BlueSky in part two about the midfield setup, how much is down to personnel and how much is tactical and whether Arsenal properly addressed their issues in the summer.

| 0:58.1 | Hello, welcome to the Arsenal Women Askast with me, your host, Tim Stillman, |
| 1:03.8 | on AskBlog.com. Looking back on Saturdays, it was Saturday, wasn't it? Yes, Saturdays. Three to defeat away at Manchester City in the WSL, and we're going to go over it, all of it. I have to admit, I don't |
| 1:15.7 | entirely have my head around this game yet. And so to probably help me make some sense of it as |
| 1:24.3 | much as anything, delighted as ever to be joined by our co-hoes, Jamie Spanger, Jamie, how are you doing? Hey, Tim. I'm all right. I'm good. I've kind of, I've realized and maybe moved on in the last 24 hours that there's more to life than winning the WSL. So I'm trying to like, you know, find the positives that look at the sunshine. There are bigger things in life than football. |
| 1:48.6 | So we will speak about this one because every game away to Manchester City is insane. |
