This evening I received a response to my article on the way Iwobi and Alexis restricted our attack versus West Brom by constantly moving into the middle and how Wenger failed to change this. I have used it as a blog below… Dave… read today’s blog. Loved the tactical depth. Would love to take your […]

Alexis and Iwobi – Restricting and not creating pace makes you both a ‘Waste of Space’
Happy New Year to all but not a happy end to 2017 for Wenger and our team. Last night’s performance was not just poor and lacking in intensity with Ozil’s spark, it was also, in my view at least tactically inept. For some Wenger can still do no wrong and they will say how can […]
Dean was Poor but Arsenal were Dire – A Wenger record but the song the same
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 […]
Come on Arsenal, let Santi Cazorla return to Real Oviedo – He’s earned it.
What is your favourite memory of Santi Cazorla at Arsenal? Possibly his screamer versus Man United at Old Trafford as he broke the ankles of half the home sides defence in the process? Perhaps his cheeky flick against West Ham? Well for me it was his stellar performance in the 2014 FA Cup final versus […]
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, […]
This Christmas will Arsenal’s Wise Men pay to keep their Bright Shining Ozil Star
It is almost Christmas and our minds are cast back to its origins. The first people who beheld the portent of the good news at Christmas were the three wise men who followed a star to the scene of the nativity. Are we now seeing our own star in the shape of one Mezut Ozil. […]
