Summary
In this episode we look back at Thursday's frustrating 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Arsenal failed to live up to expectations but still extended their lead at the top of the Premier League. The Gunners had the best of the first half, but fell way short in the second period – we analyse the reasons why that was the case, before touching on Viktor Gyokeres' performance and how much of an issue this is now for Mikel Arteta. We also chat about how Liverpool created very little, the subs we made, and the recent run of form wins that ended with this draw, before answering listener questions about the Gabriel Martinelli/Conor Bradley incident; what options we have up front as well as ways to get more out of Gyokeres; Myles Lewis-Skelly; like for like changes; and lots more.

| 0:19.0 | Good morning, Andrew. How's it going? |
| 0:29.0 | Going okay. We discussed doing an extra Arscast extra this week because I think it was like a level of expectation about this game. It was a big game. Turned out it was going to be a big opportunity |
| 0:34.0 | for Arsenal to extend the lead at the top of the table. I mean, we did do that, |
| 0:39.3 | but it wasn't quite as extendy as people might like. And there was a sort of an air of real |
| 0:46.0 | expectation about this game, I think, and it's turned out to be a bit anticlimactic, a bit of a damp |
| 0:51.1 | squib, perhaps. Yeah, because we don't normally do an extra on a Friday. |
| 0:56.8 | No. |
| 0:58.1 | I think I said to you after I'll recording on Monday, |
| 1:01.2 | I was like, I think there'll be an expectation. |
| 1:03.8 | Because after the night that we'll have had against Liverpool, |
| 1:08.1 | I think I sort of imagined I'd have the trophy with me. |
| 1:12.1 | You know what I mean? |
| 1:12.8 | Having slept with it in my bed overnight. |
| 1:16.9 | Yeah. |
| 1:18.3 | So yeah, I guess it's it might be my fault, guys. |
| 1:22.2 | I got ahead of myself. |
| 1:23.7 | I don't really think that's fair to blame you completely for this one, maybe only marginally. |
| 1:28.7 | Yeah. Yeah. I mean, listen, we should have known. It was kind of, there was a pathetic fallacy, wasn't there, with the weather in London yesterday. It was, it was not the dream night I had envisaged from, yeah, from about 4pm, I just started chucking it down. |
| 1:46.0 | Yeah. |
