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

On the agenda: the 5-1 defeat to Liverpool and the calamitous defending from some players who just aren’t up to it. We discuss the goals we conceded, the hapless nature of our defending, how badly we defending, what a load of rubbish we were at the back, and how we can’t defend to save our lives. How much is on personnel and how much is on Unai Emery? Then there’s the Mesut Ozil situation AGAIN, and why moving him on in January might well be the best thing for the club if we can make it happen, and we have listener questions about what we might do when transfer window opens, where the money might come from, we talk about how bad transfer business has been over the last few seasons, and lots more. If it sounds miserable, it is, but Happy New Year to everyone all the same!

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.
