Episode 838 - Left Alone

About this episode

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to discuss Arsenal's final pre-season tour game in Hong Kong and some of the conversations around it. Is it worrying that too much felt familiar, or are there mitigating circumstances? We chat about the game itself, the goal we conceded, and our lack of output, before the conversation moves to the left-hand side and what we need to do there. Is it all about making a big signing? Can we get more out of the players we have, perhaps in conjunction with new players like Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke? We also discuss Eberechi Eze as the missing piece of the puzzle, defensive departures, and lots more.
