Summary

In this episode I'm joined by Kaya Kaynak of Tifo (The Athletic) to look back on Wednesday night's relatively uneventful EFL Cup win over Port Vale. We chat about the goals, including a first one for the club by Eberechi Eze, and the overall performance – but try to put it into context in various ways. We then chat about Max Dowman; Leandro Trossard as a 'super sub'; Viktor Gyokeres and his start to life at Arsenal; whether some of the discourse around the team in the early part of the season is entirely fair; a new contract for William Saliba and what that says about his belief in the club's ability to compete; and lots more besides.

Once again, it's NordvPN.com forward new Arsblog Arscast right here on arseblog.com. How are you? Hope you well. Thank you very much indeed. As always, for being here. Feels like it's been a busy kind of a week. Obviously, we played Manchester City on Sunday. That was a game which had people talking.

1:46.1

My goodness. Genuinely, I think there were probably more comments on Arsplog news after the

1:53.7

Man City game than I can remember in the entire history of the site. And I think the conversations

1:59.4

around Arsenal in the early part of this season,

2:02.7

whether they're among Arsenal fans, whether they're on TV, pundits, media, newspapers, whatever,

2:32.0

following the Man City game. That was a 2-0 win over Port Vale in the

2:36.1

EFL Cup last night. Not exactly a game that got the juices flowing. But despite that,

2:43.1

maybe it was kind of the game that Arsenal needed. There's a fair bit to unpack and get into

2:49.8

in this episode. So why don't we just get on with it?
