My biggest takeaway is that people don’t know “pinch, punch, first of the month.” Minds will be blown when they hear, “A flick and kick for being so quick!”

[@adrianjacobs5444]

Exactly who doesn't know pinch punch. Where did they grow up?

[@Wazza555]

And a poke in the eye for being so sly

I love these three so much. Bhavss provides a typical match going fan’s insight and can truly read into how the vibes are throughout the fanbase. George is an elite tactical mind with an incredible ability to breakdown players and systems. And Alex is incredible at dictating the flow of the pod while also providing his own opinions and classic british humor. Great episode as always boys.

[@victor3254]

I agree. Been an Arsenal fan for 22 years and these three have made it so much more enjoyable these last couple of years. Love them ❤

[@TheCannonPod]

We really do appreciate your love my friend 🫶🏽

[@Tartar_Roshanu]

Imagine pushing Bale back to a FB or WB at Madrid or Wales 😅

[@classicdansmith]

If the only other actual LB was injured/not fit?

20 minutes in and I Absolutely love the discourse in the episode. Nice to see some disagreements and logical reasoning behind them. Changes from the usual Kumbaya conversations

[@bengreenwood1734]

I agree with George here. Trent at RB and gordon LW, saka RW just makes so much sense. Way more balanced. Plays to the strengths of everyone including kane. The setup we see now actually reminds me of Wenger's misuse of Giroud with Ramsey on the wing. Strikers which love to drop deep should have outlets either side of them.

[@rushnafwadud]

Wew. George’s got Alex stammering.

[@mustaphamustapha4363]

Because he is very wrong

[@biratwagle676]

One of u three please answer my questions Why is saka getting all these slander despite not dropping less than 6/10 in four games he has played with assist as well? Why is saka disrespected despite being most consistent attacker out of kane,jude,foden in this euros. Why are people overhyping palmer despite him having one okay 20 min cameo and bang average display against slovakia two days ago? Is it racism or tribalism? Saka is elite and i love saka so much that i m getting sick of recent undeserved criticism of our boy

[@asianafrican2023]

Palmer hype is to find a good excuse for Saka replacement.

[@beaveraldinho]

LB Gomez CB Guehi CB Stones RB White (Trent) CDM Rice LCM Bellingham Rcm Foden LW Gordan St Kane Rw Saka Rb inverting into box midfield beside Rice in possession. Pretty easy imo?

[@richardharris3072]

Makes so much sense

[@SteveBarrow-lp2ns]

RB White?? For what? To have him fly home early crying again because 20 trophy winner Kyle Walker & Harry Maguire are both better than him???? No thanks I'd rather play Ravindra Nishad in goal, Vlad Savchuk as CB and the cleaner at the Morrinsville Baptist Church upfront than have that ungrateful and despicable cretin anywhere near the England team

[@lbj1262]

I wholeheartedly agree with George’s sentiments. Playing Saka ag LB is basically shifting the width from the RHS to the LHS at a worse level. Even with how England are set up, their fullbacks don’t really get that high in comparison to other top nations, whose fullbacks are basically deployed as wingers.

[@mustaphamustapha4363]

To alex. It is very disrespectful, i guarantee you they wouldn’t ask bale to play LB after he had transitioned into RW

[@Arty2senis]

I can see Nagelsman and Arteta rate Haverzt a lot and use him in a same way. Haverz started a striker, moved to midfield and finished game as a winger. Mussala, Gundoghan and Sane all were subbed, but not Kai. His workrate is insane. Even check Nagelsman press conference on Haverzt. It was soo Arteta.

[@user-gr5iy1mu9c]

[@manlikeJide]

Yes - "Pinch, Punch, First of the month" is old school lol. Maybe its an age thing :)

[@Nylon_]

Very true I saw that Saka wasn't given the ball often.

[@dlaldlaldlanutsntnstn1418]

Pinch punch first of the month actually taught me to pay attention to the calendar

[@user-gm9bj9jl3q]

I would put LB Guehi CB Gomez and Stones RB Trent CDM Rice CM Kobi and Beligihim LW Goden RW Saka CF Ollie or Toney not Kane currently.

[@Rk-xx1sg]

I think guehi has 2 yellows?

[@richardharris3072]

but gomes could go left back, saka or Gordon could go left forward and hold the width, have Bellingham sit in the inside left and gomes cover the rest defence. Also we do have a channel running forward in ollie watkins. The pieces are there southgate just does know what picture to create with the puzzle

[@mrileeks]

I think both arguments are not mutually exclusive. Given a better pre-tournament selection process, we wouldn't have found ourselves at this point. Saka at LB is one of the solutions given we're now where we are. It's shades of grey not black and white.

[@BrianConlon-ng5bw]

So with a better pre-tournament selection process, Saka would have had a shot on target in the 4 games that he's played in?

[@OLOYism]

@@BrianConlon-ng5bwsaka has more man of the match awards for england than palmer and foden have goals for england combined🤣🤣

[@BrianConlon-ng5bw]

@@OLOYism Palmer and Foden have won more trophies than Saka can only dream of winning, even on his Xbox

[@Never_Wr0ng]

Gareth Bale would have been a better example than Ronaldo for Bukayo's case. He wasn't moved back either.

[@karlfroberg520]

We need an analysis of Calafiori!

[@olumideoyedemi5202]

Let's be real, with the way Kai played for us, we don't really need a new striker that badly. What we need is a proper cover for Saka. Trossard and martinelli have different properties but they compete with each other for the left wing.

[@matthewsadler5398]

You can get on with someone while still challenging them. I think Arteta probably is best friends with people who do challenge him. That’s different to disrespecting him, I’m sure Odegaard feels very comfortable raising ideas and offering contrasting opinions to Mikel

[@briansmith975]

From listening to Tim’s historical pods legendary manager of the past famed for collaborating with his key players can I suggest in Sakas position question has Siuthgate discusssed / felt the player/s out for his /their thoughts. He may be happy to do the job ???

[@BrianConlon-ng5bw]

Can i suggest that you just stick with Aussie Rules? Thanks

[@andrewboisvert3803]

How bout those maples tho george?? What a run!

[@adrianjacobs5444]

Bahavs how do you not know pinch punch.

[@Wayne_Jenkins]

Not sure how George will cope when we don’t pair a striker with havertz, he remains our starting striker and we continue to play 4-3-3 as we have done the past 2 years winning most weeks. Osimhen isn’t coming

[@briansmith975]

I think Osimhen is coming as that price is falling our way and with it those trophies will come too

[@drizzy0712]

Learning that havertz is left footed is the type of investigative analysis i pay for

[@findingaether]

Ooh. He is left footed? I guess that would explain why he keeps kicking the ball with his left foot!

[@dlaldlaldlanutsntnstn1418]

Southgate's decisions have done nothing but damage Saka and his image

[@jason20880]

why play Saka LB when England could play Gordon on LW??? Why is Foden being prioritized, while Saka is being moved around to accommodate him? It is disrespectful to Saka to move him to LB (a position he hasn't played since what 2020??) when Foden is doing crap when he's playing, and as I'm typing this, George agrees with me. Pfft. Instead of benching Foden and play Gordon to hold width, you want to shift Saka to LB instead? Come on, do better.

[@mustaphamustapha4363]

George is 1000% correct on this

[@tigergooner7214]

I always do Pinch and a Punch 👊 for the first day of the month for 12 Months 😅😊👊

[@gooner72]

There is no effing dilemma.......... at all!!!!

[@tzvetantzekov9344]

Guys the title of the video does not imply 30 minutes discussing England. Do a separate video for that if you want to discuss it. It’s quite annoying for us fans of Arsenal who wants to listen to your discussion about our new signings but do not care about England and Southgate problems. You have to realise that at least 50% of Arsenal fans do not care about England at all, because we are from abroad.

[@ivobancevic417]

when we finally win the league I can see Alex writing a book about Mikel, I don't think there is anyone in the world more obsessed with the man

[@TheCannonPod]

Facts - Alex

[@milindmatang]

Maybe the pl fans only watch the matches involving their club, therefore whatever they have are automatically the best in the world. The mediocrity of rice and saka has been exposed now. that Napoli mf labotka was the best player on the pitch but no one will talk about it.

[@BrianConlon-ng5bw]

Spot on

[@3bladeninja21]

11 players and it's Rice and Saka. Foden? Stinker. Walker? Ass cheeks. Rice was motm from what I saw Sunday. 4 tackles 2 interceptions 2 aerial duels. Hit the post. Did his job perfectly well as a 6.

@@3bladeninja21 yes we know rise runs around a lot and loves tackles. but the thing is with him in midfield your build up will always look ponderous and clumpy. in the first half of the season Arsenal struggled to create chances and it wasn't down to havertz. Jorginho at six, in parteys absence, provided fluidity.
