Brilliance needed… Positives, Needs and Hopes This was an interesting game to misread. It is lazy to state that we were simply ‘disappointing’ or that the game was ‘dull.’ Arsenal did many things well. You have to in order to have 75% possession and to get through any game without your opponent having a chance. […]
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 […]
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 […]
After a pair of impressive performances, Alex Iwobi is forcing Unai Emery to consider him for Arsenal’s starting eleven.

The close friendship between happiness and frustration Positives, Needs and Hopes. I am so happy that we are winning the games that we do not necessarily deserve to. I am frustrated that we are winning but not playing particularly well. Happy, frustrated. Frustrated or happy? I have decided…I am 63% happy and 37% frustrated 😆 […]
Arsenal 2-0 Watford – review We had the “cojones” today. We are neighbours in some senses. Our training grounds are adjacent, and Hertfordshire (their home county) borders Greater London. We also have achieved success via style in the past – like Barnes and Blissett in the past for them. Or Wenger for us. […]
I’m happy we won of course. But at this rate, I’m beginning to think the only clean sheet I can know of is in my laundry….. Them scoring two late goals kind of dampens what was a good win and a good performance. Wenger in his prime would have been proud of some of the […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes…. Arsenal 4 Vorskla 2 Alex Iwobi could do many things. He could continue to break into the line-up, play well, take his opportunity for granted and play poorly, back to the bench, out of the 18, get another chance (repeat)… Alex Iwobi is a player I cannot trust. Yet. See the […]
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 […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes…. Arsenal vs Lazio First thought (pre-game)… that is obviously not our starting team vs City, right? I wonder why Emery has not given 90 minutes to that team. Looks like (apart from ANN at left back) those starting will contest the seven spots on the bench vs City. Maybe Emery does […]
