Positives, Needs and Hopes…. Arsenal vs Lazio First thought (pre-game)… that is obviously not our starting team vs City, right? I wonder why Emery has not given 90 minutes to that team. Looks like (apart from ANN at left back) those starting will contest the seven spots on the bench vs City. Maybe Emery does […]
Arsenal 1 (6) – 1 (5) Chelsea International Champions Cup Dublin · August 1, 2018 So: high press vs high press. Both teams used all 120 yards too. Generally, similar playing styles so very interesting match up! FORMATION Attacking 4-2-3-1 (best I could tell) Defensively 4-4-1-1 POSITIVES Got out of Chelsea press often. Kolasinac […]
Arsenal vs PSG…. Positives, Needs and Hopes Firstly, maybe my TV has a pigment issue but it looked like light green vs very light green. I think I need a new TV but either way I was surprised that the ref let them do this. Formation 4-3-2-1 is what it looked like. Iwobi on left […]

If you were in charge at Arsenal Football Club (Part 3) Arteta is in charge. Koulibaly has taught our defenders Senegalese. Meunier has shown the fans what a RB with skill can produce. The new midfield is powerful, found a Santi replacement and replaced the looks of Xhaka with the looks and mobility of […]
If you were in charge at Arsenal Football Club (Part 2) Firstly, you’ll need to read Part 1 for this to make sense, if you haven’t already. So…, Mikel Arteta is my manager. Lots of swanky signings! Money returned in sales, some controversial. Club now has a breath of fresh air on the […]
If you were in charge at Arsenal Football Club! (PART 1) So, we are all frustrated with Arsenal. Different levels, but frustrated. Even folks that think Wenger is doing fantastic work right now can’t love 6th place. I’m sure it’s not just me that thinks about what they would do if they could make the […]
