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 […]
At half time I often check the thoughts of a few on twitter. Emotions can cloud. Clive Palmer @clivepafc is becoming increasingly well respected and often has the pulse. Today my main thought concurred with his: in-game management needed to be improved. Emery makes statements at half time either with subs or obvious improvements. The […]
Hi everyone. We face Cardiff away this coming Sunday and the game will come as another test of our credentials. After an underwhelming, though somewhat expected, outcome of the first two games, the Gunners went on to win against West Ham. The performance was not ideal from what I have glimpsed, but at least we […]
First half…. an utter mess. Yet again the entire offensive 4 playing poorly all at once. The midfielders playing too slowly and positionally poor on defence. The back four left exposed yet making a litany of poor decisions. Cech keeps us in the game.. again. Second half… our biggest problem this season has been individuals […]
While it’s never pleasant to witness your team lose any game of football, let alone several on the trot, I find it extremely hard to get bent out of shape this morning. Context is king here, of course. Had we lost the two opening fixtures under Arsene Wenger, people would have been out in force […]
“Woah Mr. F! Arsenal signed that guy that dresses like superheroes and does backflips!” – 4th Grade Student As you may have surmised, I teach young children for a living. I do so in a close-knit elementary school of approximately 400 students (ages 5-12) located in Upstate NY. All the regular inhabitants–students, teachers, parents, staff–share […]
Arsenal 1 (6) – 1 (5) Chelsea International Champions Cup Dublin · August 1, 2018 So: high press vs high press. Both teams used all 120 yards too. Generally, similar playing styles so very interesting match up! FORMATION Attacking 4-2-3-1 (best I could tell) Defensively 4-4-1-1 POSITIVES Got out of Chelsea press often. Kolasinac […]
One of the final acts of Arsene Wenger’s reign was to sanction the signing of Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and what a decision it immediately proved to be. The Gabon international hit 10 goals and provided 4 assists in 14 games for the Gunners, getting off to a wonderful start at the Emirates. He should […]
The Arsenal season kicks off soon, in just under a months time in fact, with the home game against Manchester City. This will provide a chance for Arsenal fans to finally see a competitive Unai Emery, Gunners team in action. As with every new season, it will be filled with excitement and anticipation for what […]
Stephan Lichtsteiner, Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papasthatopoulos and Lucas Torreira in; Jack Wilshere, Santi Cazorla and surely a few more – David Ospina, Lucas Pérez, Carl Jenkinson and Joel Campbell – out. While transfers still represent a big part of the talk surrounding the Arsenal, I would draw your attention to a couple of players who […]
