The Risk-Reward Elements of Football

In this episode, James returns to discuss the 2-2 draw with West Ham on Sunday. For the second successive game, Arsenal let a 2-0 lead slip, but this one feels worse than last week at Anfield. We try and analyse why it might be happening, and how it's in stark contrast to a very positive start. We chat about the pressure of the title race, Bukayo Saka's penalty miss, the goals we conceded, the impact of losing 50% of our first choice back four on how we play, and lots more – before listener questions about William Saliba, this being a team that might actually need pressure, the upcoming game at the Etihad, Emile Smith Rowe's lack of involvement and much more.
