They jump in with a long discussion about the lineup, particularly the selections of Leandro Trossard and Mikel Merino, as well as critiques of what those two players offered, the drawbacks of playing game-managing profiles at the beginning of matches, and Mikel Arteta's seeming reluctance to trust attacking players like Eberechi Eze and Ethan Nwaneri. Jon and Sham then turn to positives from the match, namely Arteta's quickness to make changes and Gabriel Martinelli's second game-saving goal in as many matches. The two close out the episode with a chat about their concern levels regarding Viktor Gyokeres and how they're looking at Arsenal's Premier League campaign with Liverpool now five points ahead.

In this episode, Drew (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@GeecheeKid⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Twitter/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@supplyanddemandrew.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Bluesky), Jon (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@305Cast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yellowribbons.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠), and Sham (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Shamsdale⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@shamsdale.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) get together to go over the latest news around Arsenal's transfer activities. First, they discuss the confirmation of Kepa Arrizabalaga as the Gunners' first signing of the summer and whether they hold any reservations about signing yet another player from Chelsea. They then move onto the topics of Cristhian Mosquera, Christian Norgaard, and whether Arsenal have upgraded in their midfield following Jorginho's and Thomas Partey's departures. The guys then go over links to Noni Madueke, Arsenal's reported interest in Eberechi Eze, and how feasible signing three forwards this summer would be. They then close out the pod by giving their thoughts on the Premier League's new rules that would see players interviewed on the sideline after being substituted and would put cameras in teams' dressing rooms.
