Summary

On this edition of the ArsenalVision Podcast, Elliot is joined by Clive to discuss a dreary Champions League match in Bergamo against Atalanta and to look ahead to Arsenal’s trip to the Etihad on Sunday. The pod starts with some reflection on the performance and result in Italy and what to make of it in light of the timing of the match and new CL format. The midfield and attacking dynamics are analyzed as the pod attempts to evaluate the early signs of how Arsenal will cope with Martin Odegaard and whether alternatives are required. Individual performances are analyzed including Partey, Rice, Martinelli, Jesus and others. There’s also some praise for the match-saving David Raya performance. Then the pod turns its attention fully to the game at the Etihad on Sunday and how Arsenal will approach one of the toughest fixtures of the season. All that and more on this edition of the ArsenalVision Podcast.

After those are so good they're goring by mistake. Look, it's simple. You make us play on Thursday night. We're going to act like it's Europa League. This is the Arsenal Vision Postmatch podcast. My name's Elliot Smith. I can block me on Twitter, Yankee Gunner. Yeah. You want to put us on Thursday night? Then we're just going to provide the entertainment of your typical Thursday night fair. Those are the rules. we don't make them. Sorry, but you know what? We get away with a nil-nill

0:41.7

in Italy to kick off our Champions League campaign and all things being equal in the midst of a

0:46.8

week that had us playing the Derby away and going to the Eddie Head on Sunday to rock up in Italy

0:52.4

on Thursday and just shut everything down

0:54.9

with a little help from our friend David Ryan and his giant hands. I think that's fair enough.

0:59.4

So we're going to get in and talk about the Atlanta game, but obviously you have a big eye on

1:04.3

the city game. I want to say thanks for being here. This is a stressful week, isn't it? And it's

1:09.7

so weird because it feels like since the season kicked off,

1:13.1

stressful game at Villa, Brighton, which maybe could have been a calmer game, stressful because

1:17.7

we get that sending off, and then stressful Derby, and then stressful trip to the Eddie Had. And

1:22.2

like, we haven't had one of these moments to just relax and enjoy us being good and maybe have a

1:26.9

fun victory with lots of fun goals to talk about. Hopefully those are in the horizon, maybe even Sunday, you know, a nice 10-0 victory, something to pour over that could be exciting. But, you know, it's a lot of stress early in the season. I don't feel like any of us should have to feel this way in September, but here we are. We did a rewatch of the Derby. I recommend it,

1:44.7

I think, in terms of analyzing the midfield dynamic in particular, it's an interesting one to get a look at and might give you a sense of what to expect for the game on Sunday. So if you want to see that, that's over on Patreon. Tim was on the instant reaction last night. We got stuck into the emotion of the moment, which is what we do with those. And then, you know, now we calm down, we relax,

1:44.1

we analyze and, you know, we say all the things we really think, and we say the instant reaction was never what we really thought. And please don't take our words seriously. So I just love you for being here. I've started to plan some trips. Going to be over to London for a couple of games, and those are on the horizon. So as as the details of that from up, maybe we'll get something planned to get together

2:19.2

and have some events over there in the next couple of months.

2:21.8

So looking forward to seeing some people. Okay, enough waffle. Here with me now is Clive. You can find them on Twitter at Clive. PFC. Hello, Clive. Hello. How's it going? Okay. I spent the morning watching the game, trying to stay off Twitter because it's just frying my mind.

2:20.6

I thought, let me watch the game trying to stay off Twitter because it's just frying my mind.

2:36.7

I thought, let me watch the game and get my head on so we can have a chat this afternoon.
