ON THE WHISTLE | LEAGUE CUP SEMI | CHELSEA (A) | MEMBERS
Fresh off a thrilling 3-2 victory over Chelsea in the League Cup semi-final, the boys break down a massive night at Stamford Bridge. It was a game where the “propaganda machine” finally got some fuel as Viktor Gyökeres (”Big Vic”) stepped up with a goal and an assist—but is this the turning point for the striker, or just a flash in the pan?
In this episode, we discuss:
The Big Vic Debate: Gyökeres delivers a “big boy performance” when it mattered most. We analyze his fox-in-the-box goal, his first assist for the club, and whether he can kick on from here.
Defensive Dominance: William Saliba put in a “Rolls Royce” display with midfielder-level distribution, while Benny Blanco brought the goals—and the shithouse—back to the right flank.
Midfield Magic: Martin Zubimendi ran the show, scored a screamer, and won the hearts of the fanbase by getting into it with Enzo Fernández at the final whistle.
The Goalkeeper Dilemma: A mixed bag for Kepa Arrizabalaga highlights just how integral David Raya is to Arsenal’s trophy hopes. Should Kepa keep his place for the second leg?
Hottest of Takes: From Saka’s “quiet” brilliance to bold predictions about winning the league and downing Man City.
Plus, we look ahead to the second leg at the Emirates and the upcoming clash with Nottingham Forest. Thanks for being a member!
