#8: Arsenal vs the Big 6 (& Leeds) (feat. Jon Mackenzie)

The two Alexes, Towells (@alextowells) and Collings (@alexfrco) are joined by Jon Mackenzie (@Jon_Mackenzie) to discuss the Liverpool game, before widening their scope to look at how Arsenal have fared in big games so far this season and what we can learn from their performances, then finishing off with a quick preview of the Leeds game. We answer your questions throughout the podcast, including "What are Arsenal's weaknesses?", "What does Arteta want from his defensive midfielder?", and "Would Leeds present more of a difficulty to Arsenal this weekend if Jesse Marsch was replaced as managerial lever puller by a hippo in a hat?".TIMESTAMPS:Intro: 00:00Jon's general Arsenal thoughts: 02:06The Liverpool Game: 03:38What do Arsenal need from their defensive midfielder?: 15:54Comparing the Liverpool game to the Spurs & United games: 22:34How can other teams get at Arsenal?: 32:48What's changed in the last year to make Arsenal better?
