NLD at the emirates left most of us heartbroken for several reasons. At the moment, the bigger concern is regaining back our core players to fitness. In a matter of "what could have been", the emotions and confidence would have been uncontrolable. But there's a lot to look ahead. In this showdown, Arsenal looked the part for a significant aspect of the game, but injuries and mistakes changed the entire outcome and the Identity we showed looked a shadow of itself at the final whistle.
On this pod, I spoke about Arsenal's bright sparks and dynamics in the game. Also some elements worth discussion as we look a bit thin at the moment. As ruthless Arteta has been, he needs to apply that in some specific areas as he calls for improvement. There are a couple of surprise players I didn't expect to that needed to be called out. Listen and find out if you agree. Our next 2 games will be just as hard. We just have to bounce back. Onwards & upwards. We are the North London Arsenal!
