In this episode I'm joined by Andrew Allen to discuss the 3-0 win over Lille in the Champions League. We chat about the manager's team selection, and his comments about Noni Madueke and volume, before we discuss a decent – if not great – first half, and the way Arsenal changed things in the second period. There's some focus on Jurrien Timber after his excellent goal, as well as Eberechi Eze hopefully kick-starting his season, and increasing the technical level with the introduction of Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard. We also speak about the Mr Ken Friar after he passed away this week, paying tribute to his legacy and incredible tenure at the club, as well as reported job cuts, and more.
