Why do Ben and the boys think Arsenal could be the team to beat this season?
Hello everybody, welcome to the football fill-in. Right, stay tuned, because this is gonna be a bout out of an episode. We are gonna be goalie bashing, we're gonna be Cobbie Minu bashing, Marcus Rashford bashing, I'm only joking. I'm only joking, I'm only joking. I come in peace anyway, and I never bash anyway, it's always just sort of constructive criticism, yeah? What I'd like to see for people or what they could have done.
Yeah. What you'd have done if you'd still got your gloves on.
If I was mobile enough to still have my gloves on and actually do a little bit. But yeah, we give constructive criticism and we don't comfort people, I promise you, all right? Simple as that.
Yeah, it's there's a way, isn't there? You put your arm around someone but also tell them the truth at the same time. Yeah, you've got it a bit of tough love sometimes, you
know, it's just the way it is, isn't it? Yeah. Uh we've got to start the show, lads. Um Arsenal against Chelsea.
Yeah, I mean a a lot happened this weekend in terms of instance, didn't
it? A lot happened. We've got a few little individual bits and bobs that we're really gonna try and dissect for you all and help you out with a little bit, aren't we?
Well, it's a huge, huge win after falling behind. Agreed. Obviously first gold had conceded this season. Um, they're very, very solid normally. And uh when you go on down it's tough. But They uh they managed to find a way. A little bit unlucky with a goal that were offside. I mean, you're watching that live and you can't work out that Cons has touched that ball, can you? And that's actually where VAR, for all the its faults, come to a proper decision. But um yeah, I I don't think ultimately Emmy's up to speed yet for Chelsea because they've brought him in to save that first action.
Let's talk about this first goal then, right? So from a non goalkeeping perspective, you two, opinions.
First of all first of all, how is he letting Havertz come all the way in on his left foot as a defender? Agreed. So so for as a goalkeeper you're fuming there, letting him come in and open the goal up. Are you on about
Lacroix here?
Yeah, but uh so from the left back, Hatto, I think it is, it comes all the way inside, goes past someone else, then plays it through obviously the Croix legs. I mean he has to say in my opinion he has to save it.
Yeah no look it it's a save all day and when you do these practices look from the outfield perspective you want to show him down the side so he's on his weaker foot. But if he comes inside, Emmy Martinez makes so many saves what would be to his right there when it's a bender that he's got no right to make because he's always in the optimum position. But you've always got to be a aware of the little reverse through the legs, 'cause that's what the top top level is. And I thought in his flattened off position, he were in a good position. And he just didn't have the sharpness and the power at the minute to drive back to his left. And I think that's just a hiccup from A the World Cup, B not training properly at Villa and finally just getting back into it and getting up to speed.
Yeah. I think within another two weeks it it's a comfortable say for him. But at this moment in time, you can tell when they're just two or three percent off.
Yeah. It's it's interesting. I don't know what you guys think of it. I've been speaking to a few Villa fans and none of them were overly upset that Emmy w Emmy left.
Yeah.
And I mean I I I kind of agree with a couple of them saying that they kind of feel like his absolute best years may have may have come and gone at the absolute top, top, top.
He's gone to a club now though, mate, with good goalie coach, good staff, very, very good goalkeeping department, and they can get him back up to speed if he wants to get up to speed. And I wouldn't disagree with a lot of the things that happened at Villa last year, because he didn't look quite at it. But what you're getting with him, if you can get him up to speed, is a winner and a mentality that Chelsea need in that dressing room.
