The Breakdown

Pre-season: what went well, where must we improve?

This summer has seen the dawn of a new era at the club, but how has pre-season gone?

Former Gunner Adrian Clarke discusses what we’ve learned from our five warm-up games under Unai Emery in this very special episode of The Breakdown, focusing on:

  • How we’ll hunt in packs to press with aggression
  • Using incisive passing to break forward with pace
  • Why we will be a major threat from set-pieces
  • The issues which still need to be fixed
  • Which of our teenage talents could break through
