Arsenal Women Arsecast Episode 166: Thriller at the Villa
5/12/20261 hr 5 min
In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie look back at Saturday's 3-0 away win at Aston Villa. Tim and Jamie begin the podcast with the news of the departures of Codina and Pelova and they consider the legacy of Beth Mead. Then there is talk about the win at Villa, including the performance of Smilla Holmberg on the right, Russo going to another level this season and Renee Slegers' post-match explanation that she decided to loosen tactical instruction for this game and allow the players to express themselves. In part two, there are listener questions on how to replace a player like Mead, the apparent U-turn on McCabe's contract and on how much bigger the squad needs to be next season.
