Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we look back at the 1-1 draw with Man City on Sunday afternoon. There’s a lot of discussion of the starting line-up, and whether or not Mikel Arteta is inherently too cautious? Does his record in ‘big games’ in recent seasons back-up his decisions, or does the summer spending spree create new expectations about how the team should play? We chat about all that, the goal we conceded early on, the second half changes as we tried to find a way back in, and the sheer quality of Gabriel Martinelli’s late equaliser. Then we answer listener questions about Viktor Gyokeres, whether we’ll see that midfield trio again this season, managers making subconscious decisions, the changes at boardroom level, and lots more.
