Southampton awaits tonight and the pressure against Mikel Arteta has never been greater in his short stint into football management. Now I know the instant reaction to a defeat results in micro analysing every detail and often an anger fuelled decision in that moment that everyone needs to be sacked. I often like to play […]
I will be touching on why I disagree with the Guendouzi loan to Hertha Berlin. Other topics covered include a question for Arséne Wenger you haven’t seen being asked yet and various thoughts on my problem with the Matteo Guendouzi loan. Moving onto the first issue… Arséne Wenger has released his new book, My Life […]
An Arsenal transfer window analysis – was it good, bad, or indifferent? We’re all pleased we got Partey, and of Aouar and himself, I believe we needed Thomas more. Though despite the high here, I’m not sure this is a stellar window. This isn’t to be unnecessarily negative. The points from the start were […]
https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/1313241301148749824?s=20 The transfer window has shut and all things considered it’s been a very good one for The Arsenal. Had the Gunners also managed to sign Aouar and move on two or three other players deemed surplus to requirements it would have been a 10/10 window. But I’m going to give them a 9/10. When […]
The HUGE small detail Houssem Aouar may never sign for Arsenal. If he doesn’t don’t chuck this post in the bin because there’ll be another that this speaks to. When signing a player the very first step is identifying the needs of the team. If I had that job this would be my list […]
Episode 25 “West Ham Preview · Moyles Parks A Bus” Gav, Mike and Paul preview the upcoming Arsenal v West Ham game, and ponder how Arteta might counter a potential David Moyes parked bus. Does he stick with a formation that has proved so effective against recent opponents? Does he throw more creativity on the […]
Episode 24 “Auba Signs Da Fing · Transfer Dominoes” Gav, Mike and Paul wax lyrical about Auba’s signing, how Arteta is making Arsenal an attractive destination for top players, and what needs to happen before the transfer window ends to get Arsenal’s squad in line with restrictions.. Should Ozil even be included in the squad?! […]
Episode 21 “Winning Away · 4 Into 1 Won’t Go · Coming/Going” Gabriel’s a Gooner! What does that mean for our defense? Arteta has proved that his Arsenal can win against top teams – but how will we set up to win those tough away games against a deep, low block? Do we have the […]
Pressure wins twice If you are thinking that the headline refers to Arsenal beating Southampton due to two individual moments of pressure, you’d be 50% correct. Arsenal won due to a couple of reasons, and leaning into their speed upfront was certainly one of them. Southampton never found an easy way to play or create […]
What if Christmas already happened?… A transfer blog Hands up. I’m guilty. I never learn either. My wife is partially responsible too. Every ruddy Christmas we overspend on our children! We get too excited at the opportunity for short term happiness. This reminds me of where Arsenal might be with the possibility of new signings. […]
