Adrian Clarke and Art de Roché join Ian Stone to reflect on Arsenal's 3-2 defeat to Villarreal, in which Viktor Gyökeres made his first start.

Mikel Arteta doesn’t like the semantics of the word ‘friendly’, and internally he refers to these games as ‘tests’ – but how much can we really read into these games? 

With the trip to Old Trafford just 10 days away, the panel discuss whether the performance left them concerned, the difficulty of finding the balance during pre-season, and how Mikel Arteta may approach Saturday's game against Athletic Club.

Plus Nwaneri and Dowman impress again, Gabriel and Timber return, and is Fabio Vieira leaving the club?
