Jack Elderton and Cal Goodall break down West Ham's 0-1 loss to Brentford in the Premier League, where a disastrous fist half at the London Stadium saw Graham Potter's side pick the ball out of the net on more than one occasion, although a VAR offside call meant Thomas Frank's side reduced to one goal. Jack and Cal discuss what went wrong for the Hammers in the first 45, what changed at half time to make a difference, Evan Ferguson's West Ham debut, the Mohammed Kudus conundrum, whether the Hammers' are moving in the right direction, if a squad rebuild is in order, how many transfer windows that could take and much more.
