As we approach the end of the international break we all heave a collective sigh of relieve and turn our thoughts back to the Premier League, and in our case: a visit to St James Park. We are all hoping that Emery’s new Arsenal can build on two hard-fought (if not entirely convincing) wins over […]
…aaaaaand we are back to square one. Three games into a new season, with a new head coach and five new faces added to the team and all I see is fans’ unrest. All the nice pre-season talk about getting behind the new head coach and the team seems gone already, the good vibes […]
Matchweek 3 sees Arsenal face fellow London side West Ham in what is being called must-win already, here I predict the results with Mark Konieczny, a keen follower of the Premier League, despite being a Brentford fan. You can follow Mark on Twitter: @milik_fan. Wolves v Manchester City: Mark: Wolves looked good at Leicester and certainly […]
Granit Xhaka is a player whom I like. I think under both Wenger and now Emery, he is not being utilised properly. There is a podcast I watch/listen to a lot named Cheeky Sport, and in a recent show one of the hosts called Xhaka “the Swiss Charlie Adam….” Now, this was intended to […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes…. The past still influences the present This still looks like a Wenger side. Do not blame Emery yet. As I said last week, Arsi ene Wenger left this team with such a complacent tactical attitude and with no repercussions for lack of work ethic. It will therefore take longer than we […]
Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal – Premier League Review Another “acceptable” loss…… The “Kings of London” derby ended in a defeat. And like the City game, it was a mix of bad and good. The bad was poor defending and positioning. In some cases, our finishing wasn’t that good either. But the good was […]
O Captain, My Captain Unai named his ‘Captains’ yesterday and to be fair, the names did not come as a surprise. “The captain of this group is Laurent Koscielny, who is injured at the moment. After Laurent, our other captains are Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka.” […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes…. Arsenal vs Lazio First thought (pre-game)… that is obviously not our starting team vs City, right? I wonder why Emery has not given 90 minutes to that team. Looks like (apart from ANN at left back) those starting will contest the seven spots on the bench vs City. Maybe Emery does […]
As I said yesterday the speculation about how Arsenal will look and set up come August is rife, despite the welcome distraction of England’s World Cup exploits. Unusually our club find themselves in a position where many of the key players were not involved in Russia and are all back and working with Emery and […]
Arsenal’s World Cup players – How well can our players do in the coming World Cup? Whilst we may not have as many World Cup players as in previous tournaments, it’s interesting to see nonetheless how well they can do With the addition of Lichtsteiner, we have an additional player in the World […]
