Arsecast Extra Episode 685 - 09.03.2026

In this episode we look back on Saturday's 2-1 FA Cup 5th round win over Mansfield Town. We chat about a much changed Arsenal starting XI and formation, and one with two 16 year olds in it too. There were chances for the home side on a difficult pitch before Noni Madueke fired us ahead. A mistake led to the equaliser before Eberechi Eze's rocket won the game for the Gunners. We discuss the performances of Marli Salmon and Max Dowman in particular who was our best player on the day, with some focus on senior players who didn't get near that level. Then we talk about where this competition falls on the priority list before answering questions about Dowman's role between now and the end of the season, whether Arteta should restrict players availability for the upcoming Interlull, the marathon of the season, Gabriel Jesus and his future, Edu, past contributors, and lots more besides.
