Arsenal 5-0 Huddersfield Town Premier League review Well…..that was satisfying – a 12th consecutive Premier league home win. Though for most of the game, we were very pedestrian. Our issues are largely mental, and this was no different. We scored initially via Lacazette, but then for much of the first-half, we looked pretty stolid. But […]
FC Koln 1-0 Arsenal Well that was interesting. The play overall wasn’t that bad, but we looked poor in the final third. The team sheet was also…interesting. With Chambers being a wing-back. Seriously? Wenger has to be commended for looking to empower his players this way. But then to be fair, he didn’t have that […]
This article was a comment on this morning’s piece on Arsenal trying a 352 with a partner for Lacazette. Dave suggested Giroud or Welbeck but an old Gunners Town writer got in touch suggesting an interesting alternative. I agree with pretty much all about the formation and midfield, but ideally we would keep Ozil who could still […]
The debate on Arsenal’s contract rebels will rumble on and as long as it does it will only exacerbate the division of opinions on Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez. Neither performed at anywhere near the levels we know they are capable of last time out at the Eithad. The venue for their understated (being polite) […]
Arsenal 0-0 Red Star Belgrade Europa League Group Stage That was dull. Was it a lack of urgency? Or that we didn’t think we needed to win this? It seems odd to ask, but then we are through to the next round. And Red Star didn’t offer much either. The first half had few chances […]
Howdy. We face West Brom today, in what will round off gameweek 6. This fixture marks the beginning of an easier 5-match run for the Gunners: after the Baggies we face Brighton, Watford, Everton and Swansea. There’s potential to rack up some points here and get back on track. But first we need to overcome […]
Arsenal vs. WBA Premier League – 25th September 2017 Emirates Stadium So a prodigal son, as it were, of Mr. Kieran Gibbs may be returning. I have nothing against him, he did his part but in the end it wasn’t good enough. However, Pulis comes with his WBA team, and most likely will try to […]
Somebody who once worked for Match of the Day infamously said that winning the league was impossible with kids. Of course, Alan Hansen was talking about Ferguson’s blend of talented kids and season pros after an early season hammering at the hands of Aston Willa. What is rarely commented on was the poor state of […]
The result of the match should not disguise that this was another poor performance. The first half was a copy of the game between Spurs and Borussia Dortmund except that we were the dominant force and we should have punished Cologne as Dortmund who had 63% possession should have punished Spurs. The similarity of approach […]
It’s been a while since I wrote back home. Pardon such an abrupt disappearance from your radars, dear readers, but I’ve had an incredibly busy summer, much more than I could have imagined, or, indeed, would have liked. What I also couldn’t have imagined, and something I certainly don’t like, is that Arsenal had a […]
