Summary
In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie look back at recent pre-season friendlies with Sp*rs and West Ham and analyse the performances and roles given to Cooney-Cross and Pelova and consider more widely whether we might see more of a ‘horses for courses’ approach to team selection from Renee Slegers next season. Then Tim and Jamie field listener questions on Jenna Nighswonger, academy players, Laila Harbert’s loan to Portland Thorns, breakout players for next season and how Arsenal are shaping up at centre-half without Leah Williamson

| 1:34.2 | and take some listener questions, which I think will guide most of this episode. |
