Wenger’s new tactical unpredictability and balance of selection = BELIEF
Burnley. We knew what to expect from Burnley. It was always going to be tough, it was always going to be a bit scrappy. Here’s the thing though, this team can win tough, scrappy games. We have robust players like Coquelin, (how good was he yesterday), Alexis and Giroud. Even Özil has more bulk to […]
Where does Wilshere fit in the Arsenal team? – Or does he?
My thoughts about Jack Wilshere have often been that he should be a deep-lying playmaker in the mould of Andrea Pirlo, the 2006 World Cup-winning Italian midfielder.

After watching most of Arsenal’s recent matches, I’ve started pondering as to whether Arsenal are over-reliant on Mesut Özil and, to a lesser extent, Alexis Sanchez, to provide the main creative impetus for the team going forwards. It seems that the majority of attacks come from a Özil pass or a defensive clearance from […]
Arsenal set to sign a New Winger – A Complete analysis of our current widemen reveals why.
You’ve read the heading and most likely said: “What an idiot. Everyone knows we need a screening midfielder, that world-class striker we’ve been promised, probably a world-class goalkeeper, maybe another centre-back but definitely no mention of a winger. What is this guy even thinking?” Well, read on. I’m not saying we don’t need these players […]
Wenger should persuade Rosicky & Arteta to stay this summer as Squad Mentors
Or are we still not a club for ‘Old men’ Arsene? Could the end of this season see a huge portion of our midfielders leave? Tomas Rosicky has recently said he considered leaving the Arsenal in January , stating also that he will think about it again next summer; Mathieu Flamini and Abou Diaby will […]
