Harrison, we've just beaten Slavia Prague 2-1. What do you feel about the game? Because I know you had a few comments to say. Yeah, this team loves to play with my emotions. Honestly, that game was so comfy going into halftime, 2-0 up. I was looking to the likes of Declan Rice to come off, Gabriel to come off, to rest them for the game on Saturday. But honestly, the second half was terrible. Honestly, it was so complacent. It felt like we were just trying to get to the end of the game. I wanted to go and hit. Hit three, four, five against a poor Slavia Prague team. But it seems like we went into the second half trying to coast and just get to the end of the game, which is a little bit disappointing. I mean, you spoke about Declan Rice not coming off today. Gabriel, I think, as well, stayed on the pitch. Ezra Konzer gets subbed off because of the yellow card. Does it worry you that Declan Rice, obviously, tonight played 90 minutes? He did just play another 90 minutes against Liverpool in a very intense game. And considering we're going to have to go back to play Hull City, Luckily at the Emirates, but we know they're also a very physical team, which would require Declan Rice to play. Does that concern you a bit? Yeah, we touched on it a little bit on the watch along. I think I didn't even want to see Declan play, honestly. I don't want to see him start. I wanted to give him the night off. And he's a professional footballer. He can play three games in a week. But at the same time, I watched him from minute 65, 70, look absolutely cooked. And he was walking back. He wasn't running to tackle anyone. He wasn't running forward. Whenever he got the ball, it looked like he was just trying to play it safe, which is fine. He looked absolutely cooked. So I was looking at the manager and thinking, why is he not bringing him on? Bringing him off, sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah, he made a few weird substitutions, I'll be honest. But yeah, we had the likes of Bruno G on the bench, Myles Lewis-Skelly as well. So it wasn't like we didn't have any options on the bench. So yeah, it was a little bit of a... I was a little bit confused about why Arteta didn't bring him off because for me, we needed energy in that second half and Declan wasn't really bringing that to the table. So, yeah, I was shocked that he didn't bring on Bruno or Myles, to be fair. OK, well, let's talk about the two goalscorers tonight, Viktor Gyökeres and Noni Madueke. Two players that have had a lot of scrutiny since joining Arsenal tonight had a very good performance, no? Yeah, I was impressed with both of them. I think that's probably the best I've seen Gyökeres play, maybe even in an Arsenal shirt, definitely this season. Not just the goal, the goal he took really well, but I think his general link-up play was really, really good. I think there was a point where someone fired him the ball and he played it around the corner outside his foot. And, you know, Gyökeres doesn't do them, those sorts of things, you know. So I was really impressed with his all-round play today. And I think he should be rewarded with a start on Saturday, but probably not going to see that with. With Havertz being in the squad and in terms of Noni, he took his goal really, really well. Well, um, I actually wasn't confident with him going through one-on-one because he's not the most lethal finisher but he took the goal well, went through the keeper's legs and I'm happy for him because I think he needs to, he's got a run of games now with Saka being out so we need to, he needs to find a little bit of form and obviously the goal tonight we should help him with that. Staying on that theme then, is there anyone in today's game that you think, other than obviously Victor Okoh and Noni Madueke, that could be starting against Hull City on Saturday? I think Zubimendi had a really good game. I think he got on the ball, got us playing, especially in the first half. Obviously, second half, we didn't really get out of half too much, to be honest. But first half, he was really good. Got on the ball, kept the ball, kept the ball moving, kept it simple. But in terms of breaking into the starting XI, I don't think he's done enough. But like you said, we've got a congested Christmas period coming up. So I think that'll definitely be in Arteta's mind that he's had a good game tonight. And listen, if we have a couple of injuries, then I'm sure he'll slot straight back in. And lastly, we've got Hull City on Saturday facing the Tigers. We know already they beat Man Utd famously on the first day of the season this season. And How are you feeling towards that game? Yeah, I'm confident. Listen, we're top of the league. We're playing really well at the moment. We're getting the results. And I think Hull have dropped off since the start of the season, for sure. But yeah, we've got Hull at the Emirates. So I'm hoping we take the game to the front foot, play attacking. I don't want to see... No defensive football on Saturday. I want us to see us... Free-flowing? Yeah, I want free-flowing football. I want chances created. I want a proper game of football on Saturday. So, yeah, I'm confident. I'm confident we can get three points and I want to see Victor Okoh start for sure.
