In this episode of The Grove Podcast, Tabs is joined by Jamie to unpack Arsenal’s 1–1 draw against Manchester City at the Emirates. From surprise line-up decisions, to Pep Guardiola’s surprisingly respectful post-match comments to the media’s selective narratives, and Gyokeres concerns we dig into what really happened on the pitch.

We cover:

The tactical choices behind Arteta’s starting XI and what worked (and didn’t)

Pep’s defensive setup and why City looked more like a mid-table side than champions

The highs and lows of Arsenal’s performance, including Martinelli’s equaliser and Trossard’s antics with Bernardo Silva

How substitutions changed the flow of the game and where Arsenal fell short

Should we be concerned by Gyokeres; performances
Arteta trying to find the right balance with so many options to hand

A quick look ahead to Wednesday’s EFL Cup tie away at Port Vale

If you’re frustrated by the team selections, on pitch performances, the lack of media criticism for City’s approach, or just want a grounded Arsenal fan perspective, this one’s for you.
