Summary
In this episode we look back at the 3-2 defeat to Man Utd on Sunday, Arsenal's first home loss of the season. We try to understand how the team went from in control of the game, to 1-0 up and then lost its way in almost every way possible, on and off the ball. There's analysis of the goals we conceded, scrutiny of Mikel Arteta's quadruple change from the bench which felt more desperate than anything else, the impact of those subs, equalising through Mikel Merino before United got the winner. Has this been in the post a bit over the last few weeks due to our recent form, and why is there a difference in level between Premier League and the cup competitions? We also have questions about the atmosphere/fan reaction, magic moments (or lack of), our under-performing attack and whether it's a collective loss of form or something more structural, the need to change the dynamic of the team and ways we can do so, and lots more.
