Jack and Darcy break down West Ham's 3-0 loss to Brentford, discussing the front two of Pablo and Taty, counterpressing, the risks that come with it and the challenges that come after going behind to a team like Brentford. They talk what changed between the first and second halves to effect the game so much, Soucek's movement and passing and where an awful weekend of results leaves West Ham in the fight for survival.
