In this episode of Ladies In Red, dive into the latest updates from Arsenal Women. With the international break now over, our players delivered standout performances. Crucial victories were secured in Euro qualifiers and friendlies. From Frida Maanum’s goal-scoring masterclass for Norway to Katie McCabe’s leadership for Ireland, we’ve got all the main highlights. However, this goal spree dried up as we returned to WSL action. I break down the recent match against Manchester United. An Alessia Russo goal looked to secure three points, only for United to equalize late on. The team’s struggles with finishing remain, and we’re asking the hard questions: Why are our players prolific on the international stage but falling short at the club? And how can communication on the pitch improve? Finally, Edu Gaspar’s surprise departure as Arsenal's sporting director has left fans wondering about the impact on both the men’s and women’s teams. Edu’s commitment to Arsenal Women has been immense, influencing recruitment and strategy alignment. Could this explain the delay in naming a permanent manager for the women's squad? We’ll unpack what Edu’s exit might mean for the club's future and discuss how Arsenal might ensure continuity with a new hire. Join me for a full episode as we reflect on the international break and Arsenal’s path forward in this (frustrating) season. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Arsenal Women's showed character and had an impressive response after Jonas Eidevall's resignation. The Gunners secured back-to-back wins under interim head coach Renée Slegers.  We’ll examine the key moments from their victories over Vålerenga in the Champions League and West Ham in the WSL. Has the team turned a corner, or is this just a temporary boost? We’ll also explore what’s changed tactically under Slegers. Has there been a noticeable shift in the players’ mentality and performance? What do these results mean for the rest of the season? Is Slegers making a case to stay on, or does Arsenal still need a permanent head coach to step in?  And, most importantly, is this season back on track for the Gunners? With the international break coming up, we'll discuss how the squad can build on this momentum and whether these wins are a sign of long-term recovery or a short-term lift. Tune in as we review the matches, highlight standout performances, and look ahead to what’s next for Arsenal Women! * Get in touch: 📧 Email: ladiesinredpod@gmail.com 📷Instagram / Threads: @LadiesInRedPodcast 🐦Twitter / X: @LaurenD2710 ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

This week on Ladies in Red, I am joined by Michael from the Arsenal Above All podcast for a deep dive into one of the biggest shocks in recent Arsenal Women’s history—Jonas Eidevall’s sudden, yet not surprising, resignation as head coach. Originally, we planned to break down the weekend’s disappointing 2-1 loss to Chelsea at the Emirates. However, the news of Eidevall’s departure has taken center stage. We unpack everything from his tumultuous tenure to what comes next for the Gunners. With Arsenal sitting 6th in the WSL, their worst start in over a decade, this decision didn’t surprise many, especially given the lack of goals, identity, and recent form. We reflect on Eidevall’s mixed legacy, from the highs of reaching a Champions League semi-final and winning two Continental Tyres League Cup titles to the growing frustrations of predictability in his tactics and inconsistency in team selection. Michael and I discuss key issues that plagued his time at Arsenal. These include the team’s struggles in front of goal and the departure of star player Viv Miedema, who many feel was never fully backed by the club after injury, a move that may have contributed to the team’s drop in morale. We also explore how fan sentiment—like the graffiti outside the Emirates—has shifted as the team endured their worst home run in a decade. With assistant coach Renée Slegers taking charge as interim head coach, we look at what her next two games mean for her future and the club. We also debate possible long-term replacements for Eidevall. From Arsenal legends like Kelly Smith to established WSL managers like Casey Stoney and Carla Ward, we speculate on who could come in to rebuild the squad and restore the team’s winning mentality. As we gear up for Arsenal’s upcoming fixtures against Vålerenga in the Champions League and West Ham in the WSL, Michael and I discuss whether there’s still hope for this season or if the focus needs to shift toward long-term rebuilding. Is this season already lost, or is there still everything to play for? And who’s the right leader to guide Arsenal Women back to the top? Tune in for an honest, in-depth conversation on where the team stands and what the future holds. * Check out Arsenal Above All: 📷Instagram: @arsenal_above_all_ 📹YouTube: @arsenalaboveall 🎙️Wherever you get your podcasts!
