In this episode we look back at Saturday's last gasp win over Wolves, and try to balance the importance of the three points with the level of performance Arsenal put in. If the manager and the players are unhappy, is it ok for fans to be concerned too? We chat about the slightly surprising back-four selection, especially in the context of Ben White's injury, and discuss first half moments that could easily have changed the complexion of the game. All the goals came in the second half, and we discuss Bukayo Saka's role in both, why the goal we conceded was so worrying, and how we think this might be a game which Mikel Arteta will feel he needs to react to quite strongly. In part two there are listener questions about how this next week will go on the training ground, Gabriel Martinelli, Viktor Gyokeres, what the manager's best front 3 is, the upcoming game against Everton, and loads more.
