London is Red

London is red. Granit, Patrick and Rhett break down Arsenal’s latest win over Chelsea and why this version of Mikel Arteta’s side feels different from the Arsenal teams of the last few seasons. The guys dig into Myles Lewis-Skelly’s growing influence in midfield, Riccardo Calafiori’s freedom to roam, Arsenal’s increasing tactical flexibility, Martin Ødegaard finding another gear, and the squad depth that is allowing Arteta to play a much more aggressive style. There’s also plenty on Chelsea: their spending, their squad-building strategy, their defending, Emi Martínez, Cole Palmer, and the eternal question of whether spending enormous amounts of money actually qualifies as “good business” when the results don’t follow. Plus, the guys say goodbye to Gabriel Martinelli, discuss Arsenal finally getting serious value in the transfer market, and debate whether the club was right not to force another signing simply for the sake of making one. And because Patrick can’t help himself, the Charleston Battery manage to sneak into the conversation before the final whistle.
