In this jam-packed episode of Ladies In Red, we dive into a transformative period for Arsenal Women under interim manager Renée Slegers. ⚽❤️

First up, we celebrate our dominant 3-0 WSL victory over Spurs in the North London Derby. Goals from Alessia Russo, Frida Maanum, and Stina Blackstenius 🔥 ensured bragging rights. Is it enough to get our league campaign on track though?

Then, we shift focus to Champions League success, where a hard-fought 1-0 win against Juventus (thanks to Lina Hurtig's heroics 💪) secured our spot in the next stage with TWO games to spare! 🌟

Finally, I reflect on the incredible impact of Renée Slegers as interim manager:

💡 Tactical tweaks bringing stability and creativity.

🎯 Empowering players like Lina Hurtig and re-energising leaders like Kim Little and Leah Williamson.

✨ A near-perfect record since taking charge: 6 wins, 1 draw, and only 2 goals conceded.

💬 Cultural shifts that have reignited belief among players and fans alike.

This episode is packed with positivity, stats, and insights into why Slegers has been a revelation for Arsenal Women. Tune in now, and let me know your thoughts! 🔴🎙️

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.
