Summary
Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to discuss Arsenal’s 0-0 draw away to Nottingham Forest
The panel reflect on the disappointment of not fully capitalising on dropped points from rivals, the mis-firing frontline, the lack of urgency in attacking play, the impact the schedule is having on players, missing Calafiori on the left and taking perspective on the season as a whole.
Plus, they look ahead to Inter at San Siro in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

| 0:54.4 | But we'll talk about all that. |
