Summary

It's Thursday Therapy time, and the whole gang is in: Pedro, Matt, and Jacob dissect a very odd Arsenal preseason. From standout teen Max Dowman lighting up the Emirates to Viktor Gyokeres’ underwhelming first impression, there’s a lot to chew on. We talk new signings, slow build-up play, chemistry issues, and that horseshoe of doom in possession. Jacob brings some in-stadium Guinness scouting, some ITK heat on Nonny Madueke, and Pedro bangs the table demanding a “NOW” team. We also cover: Defensive issues and preseason sloppiness Tactical tweaks we wish Arteta would try The Saka false-nine experiment Why Arsenal can't sell players (again) Rodrigo and Eze — dream or delusion? Grab a drink, put your feet up, and enjoy a pod that’s equal parts therapy, preseason panic, and transfer dreaming. 🧠 Become a Patreon member: 📝 Read more on the blog: https://le-grove.co.uk Learn more about your ad choices.
