In this episode I'm joined by Tom Canton of The Gooner Talk to discuss Arsenal's 2-1 win over Slavia Prague in the Champions League on Wednesday night. The first half had plenty of positives, not least a goal for Noni Madueke, as well as an assist and a well taken goal for Viktor Gyokeres who put in his best performance of the season so far. The lead could have been bigger but for a lack of finishing efficiency, before things changed radically after the break. We analyse why Arsenal were so poor in the second half, worry out loud about Declan Rice playing another 90+ minutes when he didn't really have to, Mikel Arteta's changes and reaction to the performance, and the return of William Saliba. There's also info on tomorrow's book launch, details of a great new feature on the site, and more.
