Subs, Squad and Sunday League An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective There was a time in my early twenties where I’d figured out the absolute best way that a human can spend 24 hours. Here was the recipe… Saturday: Highbury at 3pm. The delightful smell and taste of the greatest partly grey cheeseburger with […]
In this edition we look back on the Premier League clash against Manchester City. HIGHLIGHT Steve Wellman: Saliba: Duels won – 100% Pass completion – 97% Fouls committed – 0% Dribbled past – 0% Haaland in his pocket – 100% Harry Scott: Declan Rice monster performance. This is why we paid […]
When George met Arsene An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Poor me. It was half way through the second half and I was complaining. Sat here in Jamaica under a cabana with live service to watch my team playing. A week of relaxation in front of me and Lori wanders past in her bikini to […]
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta brought in David Raya into the club this summer to add some depth to his goalkeeping options, and that is proving to be excellent business as the Spanish shot-stopper has looked at home at the Emirates Stadium.

That they would be more patient when attacking in order to spend a greater amount […]
In this edition we look back on the NLD and the Carabao Cup midweek game against Brentford. HIGHLIGHT NLD Dave Seager: The only true highlight from the NLD was the magnificent Saliba. Dwayne Bingham: The fans, brought the atmosphere to the game. Understandably it doesn’t take much to lift us against Spurs but despite […]
Christmas in September An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I’m not sure if Hallmark movies is just an American thing. If they have made a ‘Christmas in September’ movie then I’m in no doubt that it didn’t end in frustration unless you preferred the guy with overly white teeth and way too much product […]
I don’t think Raya is a better goalkeeper than Ramsdale but I do think he’s a better stylistic fit for Artetas philosophy. Saka hasn’t had a slow start to the season, 6 g/a in 6 games tells the story. If only people looked at Havertz as a pure CM he would be hailed as a […]
