Adam and Scott get together to have a bit of a therapy session, reliving Arsenal’s match against Paris St. Germain.We go through the opening 15 minutes, where Arsenal’s tweaks and pressure nearly got them an early that could have changed the game. We got through the big moments and our reactions to the action.Then we get a bit meta talking about how this is a game, more than most, where the results are driving the view and where we think that anlayis leaves you missing important context around the way the teams played here.Finally, there is some discussion about was Arsenal the best team in this competition like Arteta said and could it have been different with a new striker in Janurary.Hopefully this will help you move forward with whatever your feeling are after this match.

Stumbling Over the Line, Does It Really Matter?
Adam and Scott get back together to chat about Arsenal’s 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.It was a disappointing and pretty low-quality display but does it matter? The big topics from the match:* Kiwior shining after a run of games* Trossard looking sharp as the false nine* Any worries about the defense or just a one offThe next topic is about Arsenal’s chances for staying in the top 5 and in the top 2. We give our thoughts on the outlook, while looking at the rivals end of season fixtures and what points total Arsenal needs to feel safe.To finish in the top 5, the magic number is probably 68 points and almost certainly 70 points for Arsenal. To finish 2nd, they probably need 73-75 but could scrape it at a lower number.Adam wrote up a post today on what this could mean.The last topic is a look ahead to PSG. The different position battles, thoughts on how the game will go, and a prayer that this doesn’t go to penalties because neither of our hearts could take it. This is a public episode.

Declan Rice’s two free-kick golazos and Mikel Merino’s clinical finish sealed the rout. We analyze Arteta’s high press, Jakub Kiwior and William Saliba’s defensive solidity, and the brillance of Myles Lewis-Skelly. Was this Arsenal’s best under Arteta? The best in the Emirates era? At the Bernabéu, should Arsenal press or protect their lead? We explore countering Mbappe and Vinícius Jr., set-piece defense, and lineup choices. Arteta’s “half-time” mantra aims to keep focus amid 80,000 fans and a trip to a place none of these players have been to with Arsenal.We then spend the second half going through each of the other teams in the Champions League doing a quick power rank and talking through their first leg matches.Like, subscribe and do all that great stuff.
