As easy as it gets at Ipswich

from Handbrake Off: The Athletic FC's Arsenal show

Adrian Clarke and Art de Roché join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's demolition of Ipswich at Portman Road. Mikel Arteta opted for a strong side, the panel discuss why rhythm and momentum is as important as rest in the lead up to Arsenal's Champions League semi final. Leandro Trossard got the nod up front scoring a brace, the Belgian dovetailed beautifully with Mikel Merino who was deployed in a midfield role. With Thomas Partey suspended for the first leg against PSG, was this perhaps an indication of Arteta’s plans in the Champions League? After his heroics in Madrid, Gabriel Martinelli was on the scoresheet again — his 50th goal for the club — while Ben White returned to the starting XI, completing the trio of Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, who hadn't started together since November. With two goals coming from short corners, and 16 being taken across the Brentford and Ipswich games, has Nicolas Jover added some variety to Arsenal's set piece routines? The panel also reflect on Arsenal's 2-1 defeat to Lyon in the Women's Champions League, and look ahead to Crystal Palace's midweek visit in the Premier League. Produced by Jay Beale. Hosted on Acast.
