Ian Stone: 我认为这是一个被低估球员的世界杯，我们都提交了我们认为最被低估的阿森纳球员的名字，我们将以淘汰赛的方式从帽子里抽出他们。我们只有在个人提交时才知道哪些球员，我们将从17名球员开始，所以会立即淘汰一名。 James McNicholas: 我认为亚历克西斯·桑切斯被低估了，他为球队带来的东西在当时很特别，但我不知道现在是否每个人都欣赏它。他仍然是我儿子最喜欢的球员。 Adrian Clarke: 我认为被低估是相对的，这与你的能力无关，而是与你如何被看待有关。这是关于阿森纳球迷如何看待你。 Amy Lawrence: 我认为托马斯·维尔马伦可能属于被高估的范畴，他来的时候进了一些球，人们认为我们得到了一些非常特别的东西，但我认为他从未真正兑现。

Who is the most underrated player in Arsenal's recent history?

Ian Stone is joined by Amy Lawrence, Adrian Clarke and James McNicholas for a special Handbrake Off, in which the panel attempt to pick the player who has done the most for the club with the least fanfare.

Ian, Amy, Adrian, James and The Athletic’s Art de Roché gave producer Jay names of the Arsenal players they believe should be in the conversation. The only names they were aware of pre-recording were those they submitted individually. The players were drawn out of a hat in knockout competition style, going up against each other head to head being put to a vote each time.
