Too easy and too difficult… Positives, Needs and Hopes If I was an Everton fan… How on earth did we not win?!?! Arsenal were not good in any of their outfield departments, there to be taken and we were good but our final third choices kept us from a big win. If I were an […]
I wrote that title 30 seconds before Bellerin decided to not cover the back post! Still, we won so my big takeaway is still that the same. For over 10 years my experience with Arsenal has been very similar… can always score but make big mistakes and make it too easy for opponents to score. […]
The Gunners notched their first away win this season, and made it two league wins on the trot in the process, but I think it will be fair to say the manner of the win raised more questions than it answered. Let’s get straight to it. Cech’s distribution is abysmal – again While it’s clear […]
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham United – Premier League review Irons eventually got rusted….. This wasn’t sexy football. It was winning ugly – and how. It was good to win this relegation six-pointer though, wasn’t it? Senor Emery got his first win as our new head coach, and it wasn’t easy. I didn’t agree […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes…. The past still influences the present This still looks like a Wenger side. Do not blame Emery yet. As I said last week, Arsi ene Wenger left this team with such a complacent tactical attitude and with no repercussions for lack of work ethic. It will therefore take longer than we […]
Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal – Premier League Review Another “acceptable” loss…… The “Kings of London” derby ended in a defeat. And like the City game, it was a mix of bad and good. The bad was poor defending and positioning. In some cases, our finishing wasn’t that good either. But the good was […]
Arsenal 5-0 Burnley – A bientot Monsieur Wenger – Premier League review It’s the final Wenger home game, which we finished in style. And how…. Burnley was very poor, considering they had the opportunity to beat us to get in the driving seat for sixth place. But their attacking play was limp, and […]
In the penultimate Wenger home league game, we got a nervy win vs. West Ham. The scoreline doesn’t suggest it was easy. the first half showed a strong West Ham performance, considering they needed the points amidst being in a relegation battle. We didn’t really look sharp in the opening moments, and West […]
It’s now on to Russia (with love)…from a sound first-leg victory. It’s often said that we don’t play sexy football anymore. That Wengerball is as extinct as the dinosaurs, the dodo, mammoths, and Neanderthals. Well apparently, Wengerball made a Lazarus-esque comeback last night. Despite some poor defending at times, we tore CSKA Moscow to […]
Hopefully another nail in Stoke’s relegation coffin…. I attended this game, and it was good to be back at our home again. I don’t go as often as I wish to, but I do my best. Our ground, despite being 12 years old, still holds up well in both English and global terms. It’s a […]
