Too much time to think An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I have this theory about Mikel Arteta. Essentially, he makes better decisions with less time to prepare. If I was in a better mood I’d study past games to prove my point but I know that I’ve had this feeling quite a few […]
New Arsenal 2 Old Arsenal 1 Positives, Needs and Hopes It was the 57th minute. There I am sitting with Max and my wife in the Hops ‘n Holler Arsenal pub in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was struggling to get a feel for what the problem was in the game. […]

Perhaps the constant formation changes and line ups have been responsible? Today we created 9 big chances in the second half! So the question becomes….. how […]
