Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog.

Not exactly the cheeriest podcast of all time, but after the 1-0 defeat to West Ham, there’s not much to be happy about. We discuss our recent form, Unai Emery’s tactics and decision making, the back three, the lack of a consistent footballing philosophy, and the difficulties were facing in the weeks ahead as try and keep our domestic season alive. There’s plenty on the Mesut Ozil situation too, one which demands a solution as soon as possible, but which clearly is unhealthy. Is it affecting the rest of the squad too? Plus why Emery needs transfer market backing beyond loan deals, a look at Mavropanos. and lots more.

Remember, you can send us questions via which we’ll try and get to each week. Send them to either @arseblog or @Gunnerblog (or both) using the hashtag #arsecastextra. Best to send them Monday morning so they get noticed more easily.
