Summary
In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to run the rule over Arsenal's 1-0 win over Napoli in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. We chat about Mikel Arteta's rotations with four changes from the side that beat Chelsea, and how encouraging it was to see the team create so many chances against an opposition low block, something we've often struggled with in the past. We chat about the opportunities missed by the likes of Bukayo Saka, Mikel Merino and Piero Hincapie, before we turn our attention to Martin Odegaard whose overall performance was so impressive, and whose brilliant goal was decisive. We also try to gauge the low-touch involvement of our centre-forward in such a dominant performance, and where the onus lies of getting more out of him. There's also a look at some of the other Champions League action this week, and more besides.
