FC Vorksla 0-3 Arsenal Europa League Review The kids, and some oldies too, did well in stricken Ukraine. Despite the moving of the venue, due to serious political tensions between Russia and Ukraine, the kids amongst the oldies, did well to get a spectacular win here. Smith-Rowe shone brightly and grabbed an early […]
Arsenal calm the rumbling storm…. Positives, Needs and Hopes I was trying to figure out (yet again) why games against Bournemouth seem so frantic. Is it the small, compact, noisy stadium? The tight camera angle? Almost seems like a game from the 90’s, end-to-end, vertical and nerve-wracking. Very little control especially in the first […]
I’m happy with this game, and our performance in it. We didn’t win, granted. But then Liverpool is a serious team now and is further down the cycle from us in terms of challenging for and winning leagues. They certainly have had better transfer windows than us of late, and have brought in better […]
Started off slow but out “Foxed” Leicester. This game showed a similar pattern to that of the Watford, Everton, and West Ham games. Leicester clearly had a game plan, which was to press us high up the pitch, and it worked to a good degree. Again, we started slow, and then grew into and […]
Fulham 1-5 Arsenal PREMIER LEAGUE REVIEW Today was always going to be tough, considering our trip to Azerbaijan, and then an early kick-off albeit in London and not far away. However, today was sexy football. Yes, Fulham is a promoted side, which whilst with much historic PL experience, may go down again this season. […]
POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I am not a stat man and I rarely quote facts. Trying to give original thought. Most of what you read here and other places is opinion. The closest you may get to facts here is this… It is a fact that our results against weaker teams has improved greatly from […]
A little swagger adds clarity to Emery’s attacking plan… Positives, Needs and Hopes I think I am starting to figure it out. It has not been clear so far, what our attacking plan is. It has made some fans doubt that Emery is even capable. Here is what I saw against Brentford. The attacking midfield […]
Arsenal didn’t get stung by Brentford…. Overall, Arsenal was the better team, though Brentford put up a good fight in the second half. We started off strongly and got an early lead via Danny Welbeck. We then had many other chances following, through Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, and Smith-Rowe, who made a capable full debut on the […]
Arsenal 2-0 Everton A clean sheet at last. Everton got stuck in Toffee, in the end….. Everton’s nickname is the Toffeemen since that part of Merseyside was noted for its toffee production. They started well and played well to boot, but they eventually got stuck in their own toffee, as we finally got […]
Now when a match begins first thing I look out for is defensive improvement from Arsenal. Perhaps ironic given our flaws under Arsene Wenger, whose defense was as rag-tag as it gets in the last few seasons. With the Frenchman I guess I just gave up at some point. I realised Wenger was unlikely to […]
