To shine in the centre forward role, there are more attributes that managers look for in a player in today’s game. Goal scoring is certainly fundamental but hold up play, and the ability to link midfield and attack is just as important. Eventually, I believe Arteta wants to play a 4-3-3 system, with two attacking […]
Tactical masterclass from Mikel Arteta! Six months into his managerial career, he has already managed to win his first piece of silverware. There were so many positive elements to our performance. Let’s dive into it Similar systems, but different levels of performance Both teams matched each other up in terms of the 3-4-3 system. Arteta […]
This Saturday’s final seems to have similarities to last year’s horror show in Baku. Chelsea came into the final last year under no pressure since champions league qualification was already secured. The impetus was on us as only a win in Baku would be enough to secure a place in Europe’s most elite competition. We […]
The business Arsenal do in this transfer window will dictate their 2020/21 premier league destiny. Chelsea’s inability to make signings last year because of the transfer ban means they will be spending big and addressing key areas within their squad. They have already started with the acquisitions of Ziyech and Werner! Manchester United are a […]
Finally this abysmal league campaign comes to an end. In this article, I’ll be providing my thoughts on each player’s overall performance in the league this season. The marking criteria is shown below 9 = Player of the season 8 = Outstanding 7 = Good 6 = Slightly above average 5 = Average 4 = […]
‘Typical Arsenal’ is how I would describe our last three results. Impressive displays against two elite teams in Europe followed by a game, where we fail to deliver when the emphasis is on us to impose our game. What the result against Aston Villa does is it continues to provide a gentle reminder that the […]
Arteta has certainly shown his adaptability in his use of different formations and systems since he took over. Pre COVID-19, Ozil was a regular feature in the side. 4-2-3-1 with Ozil in the whole was the way forward to get the best out of him. He’s the best player at the club who can drift […]
Many of us, including myself, were excited about the loan signing of Dani Ceballos. I previously followed him closely at Real Betis and in the Euro U21’s. As we approach the end of this season, along with his loan expiring, it’s certainly mixed feelings among the fan base as to whether he should be here […]
It’s the game every Arsenal fan looks forward to. Fiery, controversy, passion and hatred are words I’d associate with the NLD. Add Mourinho into the mix and it’s spiced things up to a whole new level. Right now I’m confident but I guarantee you that come Sunday morning, anxiety will creep in. Spurs: Set […]
As shown from my previous analysis on Mikel Arteta, progress is evident and we certainly are a much more resilient, free flowing side. However, we all know there are plenty of areas we must work on that will allow us to improve both in our performance and the results we achieve. Obviously player quality and […]
