Summary
In this episode recorded I'm joined by Phil Costa to chat about aspects of the Emirates Cup win over Monaco. There's focus on individuals like Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, Fabio Vieira and Emile Smith Rowe. We also chat about the difference between this pre-season and last in terms of the size of the squad Mikel Arteta has to work with. Then attention turns to the injury to Gabriel Jesus, the ramifications of that, Eddie Nketiah and the various options we have, and whether this will change anything for Flo Balogun. There's also discussion of Nicolas Pepe's potential departure, Aaron Ramsdale's amazing article for the Player's Tribune, and lot more.
