This Week In Arsenal, Sash (@ltarsenal on Twitter) and Sham (@Shamsdale) reunite to discuss the Gunners' first two matches after the international break, which have seen them go top of the Premier League and their Champions League group. The guys first address Kai Havertz's recent spark of form and contemplate whether enough patience was shown to him (and David Raya) by the fanbase. They then highlight the odd question Thomas Frank was asked regarding Arsenal celebrating their winner as well as recent treatment of the club by English media. Following that, Sash and Sham move on to the Lens match, zeroing in on the performance of Takehiro Tomiyasu, the factors behind Bukayo Saka's and Gabriel Martinelli's excellent debut Champions League campaigns, whether Arsenal really have sacrificed attacking prowess for defensive solidity, and whether Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly should have played. They close things out by discussing the Victor Osimhen links and which position Arsenal should look to strengthen in January.
