I don’t think Raya is a better goalkeeper than Ramsdale but I do think he’s a better stylistic fit for Artetas philosophy. Saka hasn’t had a slow start to the season, 6 g/a in 6 games tells the story. If only people looked at Havertz as a pure CM he would be hailed as a […]
The previous pre-season was the most interesting in a long while. There we got first glimpses of the inverted fullback, the high line, pressing from the front, the lone 6 and our new exciting signings, especially Jesus, Zinchenko and Saliba. We saw several impressive performances and results against top European opposition. This time around there […]
The Media have us all believing that Arteta has been given a war chest to go on a complete transfer frenzy. Is that true or is it a false narrative created out of our current trajectory? We are by far the most frequently linked team in the news and we get hourly updates on our […]
I don’t think anyone has any problem with our attacking output from midfield or attack in most games. We all love the chemistry of the team. There lies a strength in the collective where six players (Martinelli, Saka, Jesus, Odegaard, Xhaka, Trossard) are sharing the attacking load equally. That’s what makes us so dynamic. But […]
I have never seen so much debate over line-ups since Saliba got injured. People bending over backwards trying to reinvent the wheel with never tried formations just to keep Holding out of the defence. Even though Arteta has priors with Xhaka at LB (it’s back ladies and gentlemen), I was pleased that he didn’t fall […]
I got issues, but you got ’em too, So give ’em all to me, and I’ll give mine to you There’s just too much to say, too many feelings that need to come out, so I’m just going to keep it concise. I flew to London on friday morning, all the time I was there […]
In the days leading up to the game the nerves became bigger and bigger for me. It just felt like a monumental game and I have never experienced a longer day than the Sunday waiting for kick-off time. Much has been said of the run in, a period in a season like no other. No […]
What a wonderful half of football that was! I know that we all have a feeling for why we played so good, no one is blind to that fact. But sometimes you know something from feeling but you don’t know the details of it. I have tried to concretize the rotations and adaptations in that […]
Saturday felt like such a monumental moment in the season. The last few weeks have been so discouraging, peaking with the loss to Man City last Wednesday. Hope was beginning to dwindle. At half time on Saturday I think most people were begrudgingly accepting the new reality that we need to look down at other […]
Why must we always miss a guilt edge chance when the games in balance? Why must we always concede only a few minutes after we miss a guilt edge chance? Why must we always give away goals for free to teams that don’t need any help from us? Why must we always have important players […]
