It might seem strange to think now, but Neal Maupay may have been the most important man in Arsenal’s 2019/20 season. Suspend your outrage for a second and think back to June the 20th and the awful 2-1 loss to Brighton. At the time Maupay went careered deliberately into Bernd Leno, causing him to fall […]
The Captain Collective Back in August last year, Unai stated that; “In my career, I want leaders in the team. The representation for every player and in every time in the season there is the capacity to do that. Maybe there will be more leaders in the team to show this captaincy, not just in […]
Arsenal player reviews 18/19 So the PL season has ended, and it’s time to review the players’ performances. Our star strikers, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, have received wide plaudits this season. Auba won the Premier League Golden Boot, shared with Liverpool’s Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. Bernd Leno has been an […]
Arsenal 1-1 Brighton and Hove Albion Premier League review Top four has gone, and given the recent state of affairs, this won’t be a very positive review. We have made some progress this season, both on and off the pitch, but we still hold some major issues that need rectification. Most of us […]
Ok, I’m being spoilt. Arsenal have won yet again and it’s not quite enough. Perhaps I speak for many when I say that we are ok with it but we are a little worried. Worried that good results with only good performances for 30-50% of the game may be a habit that won’t last. The […]
Arsenal 2-0 Everton A clean sheet at last. Everton got stuck in Toffee, in the end….. Everton’s nickname is the Toffeemen since that part of Merseyside was noted for its toffee production. They started well and played well to boot, but they eventually got stuck in their own toffee, as we finally got […]
Now when a match begins first thing I look out for is defensive improvement from Arsenal. Perhaps ironic given our flaws under Arsene Wenger, whose defense was as rag-tag as it gets in the last few seasons. With the Frenchman I guess I just gave up at some point. I realised Wenger was unlikely to […]
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 […]
I hate losing and I’m disappointed by every defeat that Arsenal suffers. However, I wasn’t angry or surprised by our defeat against the current league champions, Manchester City, in our opening game. They are a class above us and everyone else domestically. In saying that, like many others, I expect Liverpool to get much closer […]
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 […]
