About this episode

The panel discusses Arsenal's recent loss to Manchester City, reflecting on the team's performance and future prospects.

Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to discuss Arsenal’s 2-1 loss away to Manchester City on Sunday.  The panel reflect on the positive performance despite the loss, feeling encouraged for the run-in, the improved balance of the starting eleven, the impact of missing the first choice starters on the right hand side, the lack of consistency in attack this season, the decision to take off Eze, recognising what Arsenal are up against in Manchester City and this team doing a lot right despite having fallen short in the last few title races.  Plus, they pay tribute to Alex Manninger and respond to some listener messages.
