Here’s what we chatted about: Arsenal's Champions League Draw – The team reflects on Arsenal's first Champions League game in years, debating whether the draw against Atalanta was a solid result or a missed opportunity. Lack of Creativity in Midfield – A key discussion centers on Arsenal's need for an additional creative attacking midfielder, with concerns about the performance of current players in that role. David Raya's Goalkeeping Excellence – The crew highlights David Raya's form, debating whether he is now one of the best goalkeepers in the league and how his style compares to Ederson. Manchester City Match Preview – Previewing Arsenal’s upcoming game against Manchester City, focusing on tactics, key players (like Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard), and how Arsenal will approach the challenge. Kevin De Bruyne's Impact – Speculation around Kevin De Bruyne's potential involvement in the City game, and how his presence or absence could affect Arsenal's chances.
