Dave is joined by Mike, Paul and pod-newcomer Kaya in the all-Gunners-Town writer post-match virtual pub, to unravel what was a curiously disappointing performance by Arsenal against the Hammers.
Arteta picked Ceballos and Saka to help break down an expected low-block - but it's fair to say that 'Moyles' had done his homework, and West Ham were a team in fine form - they were unlucky not to walk away with a share of the spoils.
We have a look at a bunch of things:
Team selection Tactics Sluggishness of our midfield Did we sell the right keeper? Who do we need more - Partey or Aouar? And plenty more...

Gav, Mike and Paul preview the upcoming Arsenal v West Ham game, and ponder how Arteta might counter a potential David Moyes parked bus.
Does he stick with a formation that has proved so effective against recent opponents? Does he throw more creativity on the field? Does he use Willian in a false 10?
So many questions. Some very surprising solutions...

Gabriel's a Gooner! What does that mean for our defence? Arteta has proved that his Arsenal can win against top teams - but how will we set up to win those tough away games against a deep, low block? Do we have the creativity we need? Charlie, Gav and Paul take a look at the upsides (hint: there aren't any....) and downsides of the Club's plans for the limited return of fans. And lastly a quickfire look at some of the week's transfer rumours: Torreira, Bellerin, Guendouzi and Partey, Auoar and Felipe Anderson.

They then turn their attention to Saturday's Cup Final - possible formations and tactics, predictions, and that overwhelming sense of deja vu: how this time last year we were hoping for a European trophy and a back-door ticket to the Champions League (a.k.a. Get Out Of Jail Free - Silver Edition)...
Never has so much depended on the outcome of a single match. #Pivotal

Chris, Dave and Charlie chew the fat on the return of the GunnersTown Radio show – now in podcast format.
