MINNOWS TO MONSTERS IN 90 MINUTES
The On The Whistle crew return to break down a chaotic game at Anfield that could have gone horribly wrong… but didn’t. We dissect a disastrous first half that had latter-day Wenger vibes before the boys fought back with spirit, grit, and a bit of quality.
✅ Martinelli masterclass
✅ Merino’s moment of magic… and madness
✅ Odegaard signs of life
✅ Raya and Kiwior concerns
✅ Why this result proves Arsenal’s mentality is rock solid
We also cover what’s next for the Gunners with Merino suspended, Trossard potentially injured, and Kai Havertz lurking for a big return. Oh… and we definitely have some words for anyone claiming Spurs or United have had a better season than us.
