Summary

In this episode we look back on today's 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield. We discuss the starting line-up with Mikel Merino chosen in the absence of Martin Odegaard – was Mikel Arteta too cautious, or does the late winner impact how we think about how this game actually played out? We chat about our lack of attacking threat, but that was also true of Liverpool, and what the manager could have done differently, or at least sooner. There's discussion of Gabriel Martinelli, Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres, the brilliant goal we conceded and where blame lies on that, before we answer listener questions about yet more injury woes after William Saliba went off with a sprained ankle sustained in the warm-up, whether Max Dowman should have come on ahead of Ethan Nwaneri, our corner taking, what remains of the transfer window, and lots more.
