Is this Arsenal squad as good as we think it is?

James McNicholas joins Ian Stone to reflect on where Arsenal are at as we enter the final international break of 2024. We use the start of the break to assess how good the squad we have this season actually is. Who’s underperformed? Who’s overperformed? Have we been unlucky with injuries or are there things we could have done in the summer to avoid some of the problems we’ve faced? Produced by Steve Hankey. Learn more about your ad choices.
