The hot news of late is that we are in for Barcelona’s Denis Suarez and even Benetia. But then whilst the club in some part can be commended for its part in getting in transfers, if we analyse the squad, are there players whom we should either: Keep Discard Nurture It’s true that the […]
People are talking. I think they are right. I think that Unai Emery’s game plan is to feel out the opponent in the first half, taking less risks, and win the game in the second half with his smart tactical mind and a fitter team. It has happened too often to not be a thing. […]
We will be looking to extend our winning streak to 5 leagues games and 7 overall when hosting Watford today. A task made harder than usual by the Bees’ surprisingly excellent form up to date: Xavi Gracia’s team are on 13 points after 6 games, losing one (to United) and drawing one (to Fulham last […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes…. Arsenal 4 Vorskla 2 Alex Iwobi could do many things. He could continue to break into the line-up, play well, take his opportunity for granted and play poorly, back to the bench, out of the 18, get another chance (repeat)… Alex Iwobi is a player I cannot trust. Yet. See the […]
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 […]
I hate losing and I’m disappointed by every defeat that Arsenal suffers. However, I wasn’t angry or surprised by our defeat against the current league champions, Manchester City, in our opening game. They are a class above us and everyone else domestically. In saying that, like many others, I expect Liverpool to get much closer […]
I watched as much of our pre season fixtures as possible and wanted to share some of my initial observations of what I’ve seen so far in the Unai Emery era. Before I do that, I would like to take the opportunity to point out that offering opinions that don’t blow smoke up the players […]
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 […]
Emery will face challenges on and off the pitch going into his first year There has been plenty of discussion since last month’s slightly surprising appointment of Unai Emery as to whether he will be able to unite the fans and finally help the Gunners find that extra two percent to rise from perennial also […]
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 […]
