Summary
In this episode I'm joined by Kaya Kaynak of Football London to discuss Arsenal's 2-0 defeat to West Ham on Thursday night. There's a big discussion about the shots to goals ratio in this game and others, as well as focus on the individual outputs of Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, and Bukayo Saka – and what Mikel Arteta can do to solve something that is becoming a bit of a problem. We chat about the substitutions, whether Emile Smith Rowe could be a goalscoring option, the goals Arsenal conceded against the Hammers, the ball going over the line (or not), and lots more.

| 0:29.7 | much indeed as always for being here. |
| 0:32.6 | I was hoping, obviously, that we would be talking, |
| 0:35.2 | slash listening this morning in more pleasing circumstances. |
| 0:39.9 | A home game against West Ham gave us a chance |
| 0:42.4 | to go top of the table last night. |
| 0:44.8 | A chance we did not take much like many of the chances that we did not take on the |
| 0:50.6 | pitch as well. Arsenal with 30 shots and no goals. And when you couple that with some defensive, I don't know if you call the mistakes necessarily, but when you're not quite at the top of your game |
| 1:04.5 | defensively you're gonna get punished in the Premier League so there's plenty to |
| 1:08.8 | unpack from this game we're gonna get straight into it and with me to discuss Arsenal-Nill West Ham 2 from |

| 1:39.6 | Arsenal |
| 1:40.8 | dominated really with 30 shots on goal but no goals to show for it West Ham had six |
| 1:46.7 | shots I think in total five or six ended up with with two goals which does show you |
| 1:51.3 | the the vagaries of football and all the rest of it but it will |
| 1:56.4 | have been a very disappointing night for for Michael Artero and the players because they |
| 2:01.1 | missed a chance to go top of the table. |
