Description
Joining Ian Stone to discuss Arsenal's FA Cup win over Oxford United are Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke.
Whilst the result eventually looked good on paper, the match showed that Arsenal seriously lack squad depth as Arteta was forced into starting the first choice front three (Saka, Nketiah, and Martinelli) and needed Xhaka and Zinchenko to make sure the Gunners were on the winning side. So what does that mean for Arsenal's title challenge? And more importantly, where are the reinforcements, specifically one Ukrainian forward?
We also discuss the impending arrival of "Tekkers Guru" to Arsenal's coaching staff and very nearly send Amy over the edge by discussing the 'i' word too much, injuries.
