Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog.
In this episode we chat about the 2-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday, starting with Arsenal falling behind early on, but reacting really well and playing the kind of football that really connects with fans. We discuss the impact of the front four, but also the way the two full backs add a lot to our forward play, even if that does leave us a bit more open than we’re used to. We analyse the goals from Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard, David Raya’s influence on the team, the way second half changes impacted our techincal level, as well as incidents involving Declan Rice and Morgan Rogers and Gabriel and Emi Martinez’s head, before we end part one with a look at how our opening three games have gone so far. In part two we answer listener questions about potential rotation for the game against Napoli in midweek, whether Mikel Merino might be a better deputy for Kai Havertz and where that leaves Viktor Gyokeres, pace in the team, the kind of attackers we should be targetting in future transfer windows, and lots more besides.
