This Week in Arsenal, Sash (@ltarsenal on Twitter) and Sham (@Shamsdale ) take a break from guests and enjoy a more intimate pod outing, just the two of them. Sham briefly recounts the Gunners’ demolition of the MLS All-Stars in DC and his experience at the match and related events. They then turn to Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat against Manchester United at the MetLife Stadium. First, they discuss the individual errors leading to United’s goals and Arsenal’s lack of decisiveness in front of goal. They then discuss the positives: namely, the performances of Martin Ødegaard, Jürrien Timber, Kieran Tierney, and Emile Smith Rowe. They then gave their thoughts on the brand-new midfield Mikel Arteta deployed and whether it will be viable anytime soon. In the second half of the episode, they take questions on Tierney’s role in the coming season, whether Arsenal have a scoring issue, and Fabio Vieira’s future.
