The Unspoken Illumination’ – Positives, needs and hopes! Personal improvement has never been and will never be headline making. (unless you are Pep perhaps!! I was watching the game last night and suddenly I was struck by the absent headline of the ‘New Arsenal.’ It was just after AMN confidently breezed past Insigne on […]
Over the past couple of decades, Arsenal fans have gotten used the sight of star players leaving and then shiny new ones replacing them. There are many replacement stories with varying outcomes for Arsenal and the player but this summer the Gunners find themselves trying to replace a player with so many different […]
Emery defence – first calling out… Don’t get me wrong. I’m firmly Emery In. But then the latest defeat to Manchester United showed how a critical point in our side is NOT being corrected by “el jefe”, Mr. Emery. Now, yes, Emery has a number of issues to solve. And the additions of some […]
POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Firstly, it was rumoured that both Arsenal and Bayern looked closely at Saints new manager. That was the best-coached game against AFC this season. We never breathed today. We were smothered with intelligent tactics. Important that we recognize the needs we have but also that game was made very difficult […]
ARSENAL 1-0 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN EMIRATES STADIUM 8TH DECEMBER 2018 – PREMIER LEAGUE REVIEW “He comes from Uruguay…he’s only five foot high!” This game in truth wasn’t the best. As per my preview, I knew Huddersfield would come to rough us up, or at the least try and curtail us. We need to give […]
Not ready to win it, but can Arsenal compete for the league? POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES As important as winning the big games is the belief gained. If I were Unai Emery, I would ask the players if they felt they were at the same level as Liverpool. Do not tell them. Some may just […]
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 […]
A little swagger adds clarity to Emery’s attacking plan… Positives, Needs and Hopes I think I am starting to figure it out. It has not been clear so far, what our attacking plan is. It has made some fans doubt that Emery is even capable. Here is what I saw against Brentford. The attacking midfield […]
I’m happy we won of course. But at this rate, I’m beginning to think the only clean sheet I can know of is in my laundry….. Them scoring two late goals kind of dampens what was a good win and a good performance. Wenger in his prime would have been proud of some of the […]
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 […]
