In this episode we look back at the 3-0 defeat away to Brighton on Saturday. Arsenal struggled from the off, and we try and understand why we couldn't cope with the way the opposition pressed us, and ask whether we could have dealt with things differently in terms of how we tried to play. There's analysis of the goals we conceded, where we weren't switched on enough defensively, and on more than one occasion we allowed Brighton too much time and space outside our box. We also chat about Mikel Arteta not changing anything at half-time, the substitutions he did make but at which point we were down by three goals, some chances we didn't make the most of, and how concerned we should be after our first loss of the season. There are also listener questions in part 2 about not scoring from set-pieces, David Raya conceding goals from distance, whether a fourth away game was a factor in the performance, stylistic differences between Jurrien Timber and Ben White, and lots more.
