To follow on from Part 1 I promised to look at where the limited budget might be spent, if I believe it will not go on the winger most fans feel we want. For me it is increasingly apparent, that for the moment at least, Emery sees the width in this team being provided by […]
I’m happy with this game, and our performance in it. We didn’t win, granted. But then Liverpool is a serious team now and is further down the cycle from us in terms of challenging for and winning leagues. They certainly have had better transfer windows than us of late, and have brought in better […]
I read the full transcript of Hector Bellerin’s long interview with Arsenal official website, where he spoke about a wide range of topics that go beyond football and, like many others; I was impressed by the maturity shown by this 23-year old boy, who sounds very conscious of the bigger picture. I won’t go into […]
The following is a guest blog from a GT reader Chris Ferguson (@ChrisFergy) who is not buying the Emery transition so far…… Six games in and 12 weeks on the training ground. Where are we and we have we seen and learned to date? Before I get to that, I’d like to mention […]
Too easy and too difficult… Positives, Needs and Hopes If I was an Everton fan… How on earth did we not win?!?! Arsenal were not good in any of their outfield departments, there to be taken and we were good but our final third choices kept us from a big win. If I were an […]
I wrote that title 30 seconds before Bellerin decided to not cover the back post! Still, we won so my big takeaway is still that the same. For over 10 years my experience with Arsenal has been very similar… can always score but make big mistakes and make it too easy for opponents to score. […]
Much has been written on the form of our Spanish fullback Hector Bellerin and for sure, he has been frustrating from a defensive point of view, for some time in my opinion. Ironically, however, whilst defensively he can be questioned, offensively on Saturday, he seemed to find his feet once more. Many armchair pundits have […]
This may seem like an odd discussion point. But then how many goals should we concede? In 17/18, only City, and Liverpool scored more goals than we did. We scored as many as our good friends from the Borough of Haringey. But our goals against tally was poor, especially vis a vis the top six. […]
I have wanted Arsene replaced as our manager since the year 2011, with the 8-2 defeat at Old Trafford that year, being the final straw. In the years that have followed, my opinion on Wenger and his position has not wavered and neither has my support for the club. Yet it is those of us […]
I have just read Batmandela`s beautiful article ” Arsenal in Crisis – Yes”. I recommend that you read it dear reader. I was going to write a review of last night`s match which was not going to be particularly harsh on our players, when I read the above article. By the time I had finished […]
