Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Tom Canton from The Gooner Talk to discuss Arsenal’s defeat to Villarreal on Wednesday evening. We talk about finding the balance between the fact ‘It’s only pre-season’ and some worrying aspects of the Gunners’ performance – including defensive instability, and how we need to change aspects of the way we play with Viktor Gyokeres up front. There’s also discussion of midfield, the need for more creativity, some positives with the return of Gabriel and Jurrien Timber, and Max Dowman continuing to impress. Should he be in the squad for Old Trafford? All that, some Noni Madueke, and lots more.
