WBA 1-1 Arsenal Not the best of performances last night. And a certain Mr. Dean did rob us. But in honesty, that’s not what’s bothering me. What IS bothering is another sideways shuffle and impotent performance in the final third. We had more than enough, in terms of personnel, to win that game. It’s just […]

Alexis MOTM but another 8/10 from Wilshere will see Southgate call and Wenger offer a contract
Palace 2-3 Arsenal This was good. Yes, we showed more mistakes in places. But overall, this was a good performance. And befitting of our manager’s record-equalling game. Palace huffed and puffed a bit in the opening minutes, and Zaha looked strong throughout. However, we bossed this period, with sharp passing, pressing, and incisive inter-play. Our […]
So this is Christmas! – Arsenal Lennon Tribute, not to be missed (Sing along!)
So this is Christmas Inspired by John Lennon Rewired by @Wellmington So this is Christmas And what have we done Finished outside to top four And behind Tottenham So this is Christmas It’s not been much fun With Sanchez and Ozil Leaving when the season is done A very Merry Christmas And a happy […]
Back to 3,4,3 to pack midfield and ‘Stop Supply to Salah’
Arsenal vs. Liverpool Premier League preview Christmas is near, but will we get an early present by beating the Scousers? We will see. However, Salah looks like the signing of the season, and Klopp is still a quality manager. He’s publicly said that we’re a dangerous team, and both hold numerous similarities. We’re both technical […]
Wenger to surprise Liverpool with Maitland-Niles at Right Back?
Reflecting on last night’s narrow cup win I find myself considering what the match against West Ham might suggest for Friday’s visit of Liverpool. Who was not selected and whether that means they have now been upgraded to the ‘A’ Team and on last night performances, who pressed their claims to face the Anfield Reds. […]
Slow, Slow, Sideways, Slow – Arsenal need new tactics after failing to breakdown Hammers
West ham 0-0 Arsenal It really seems we’re in the Twilight Zone. Wasn’t this akin to the Southampton performance? Or the United one to some extent? More “pass, pass, pass”, and not enough “shoot, shoot, shoot”, and “score, score, score”. The overview here is very like recent games, however: Our clear-cut chances were limited. Wilshere, […]
Ozil’s finally delivers a ’10/10′ performance v Terriers – Now for Consistency Mesut.
Arsenal 5-0 Huddersfield Town Premier League review Well…..that was satisfying – a 12th consecutive Premier league home win. Though for most of the game, we were very pedestrian. Our issues are largely mental, and this was no different. We scored initially via Lacazette, but then for much of the first-half, we looked pretty stolid. But […]
Mustafi at the centre of the three is the key to Arsenal’s success in 2017/18
Suffice to say I am still buzzing after Saturday’s magnificent win over the noisy neighbours from Middlesex. It was quite easily the team’s most comprehensive performance of the campaign to date and after that 90 minutes it would be hard not to point to the return of a certain German defender as being pivotal. It […]
Would moving Ozil up front with Lacazette re-energise the German Playmaker?
This article was a comment on this morning’s piece on Arsenal trying a 352 with a partner for Lacazette. Dave suggested Giroud or Welbeck but an old Gunners Town writer got in touch suggesting an interesting alternative. I agree with pretty much all about the formation and midfield, but ideally we would keep Ozil who could still […]
Time for Lacazette and Giroud in a new 352 – Wenger to follow England’s Cue
The debate on Arsenal’s contract rebels will rumble on and as long as it does it will only exacerbate the division of opinions on Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez. Neither performed at anywhere near the levels we know they are capable of last time out at the Eithad. The venue for their understated (being polite) […]
