The Perfect Showcase for Arsenal’s problems POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Ordinarily, if you wanted to compile a snapshot of the problems at your club, you’d have to scroll through 3 or 4 games to find the problems. You want to see ALL of them in one game? Watch West Ham vs Arsenal. *Goal conceded by […]
The Return of Rhythm? POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES This season, and even during the unbeaten run, I was very concerned at the lack of big chances we were creating. 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 […]
This game against Brighton has to be the worst performance from Arsenal this year. We had 68% possession and were a goal up after 6 minutes yet we could only manage a1-1 draw against a team whose players were shivering with fear at the start of the game. They could not string two passes together […]
Arsenal about to light the fire 🔥 POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Sometimes the coach needs to see something so poor in order for the fire to arrive. Ever since I moved from London to the US, I have greatly enjoyed living here but if I was to change something then this would be on the […]
Manchester United vs. Arsenal preview After the glorious win vs. the Scum, we have another rival to play. This time, it’s Manchester United, and a certain Mr. Mourinho, with whom we have an interesting history. Jose hasn’t had the best of times this season. Much has been made of his “third season syndrome”. From […]
Arsenal were everything …. Positives, Needs and Hopes Energy gives attitude Attitude gives belief Belief gives confidence Confidence gives hope Somebody asked me last week what the major change has been this season. I said, ‘hope.’ If we are losing I have hope that we will turn it around. If we lose I still have […]
Us versus Them The North London Derby We’re heading to the first of two North London Derbies in quick succession. This one on Sunday will be in the league, with the latter of course in the League Cup. It’s always a momentous occasion when we play our “good friends” from the Borough of Haringey. Our […]
Arsenal entered the international break having snatched a late 1-1 draw against a dogged and determined Wolves side who had a claim for all three points in north London. Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s late cross-shot cancelled out Ivan Cavaleiro’s first-half opener at Emirates Stadium. It’s now 3 games without a victory for Arsenal, who’d won 7 […]
After the bore draw and horror injury for Danny Welbeck, we face Wolverhampton Wanderers at home. Wolves are a welcome addition to the Premier League, and despite not featuring much in the top division of late, they are a football club of some note. They’ve won the league three times (more times than Spurs incidentally), […]
3 decisive moments…. Positives, Needs and Hopes Well, that wasn’t easy but that’s good for us. Will help us prepare for more difficult games. Three decisive moments decided the outcome. Mr. Rash had obviously been missing his close relationship with the grass and so decided to make a visit via whacking Kouyate. How long will […]
