In this edition we look back on the Premier League clash against Bournemouth. HIGHLIGHT Steve Wellman: “Tsamina mina, eh, eh, Waka waka, eh, eh, £60 million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again.” Dave Seager: Hard not to settle on the player and fan reaction to Kai Havertz. I am still far from convinced he […]
I don’t think Raya is a better goalkeeper than Ramsdale but I do think he’s a better stylistic fit for Artetas philosophy. Saka hasn’t had a slow start to the season, 6 g/a in 6 games tells the story. If only people looked at Havertz as a pure CM he would be hailed as a […]
Thunder at the chess match An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Well, I’m not sure about you, but I was about to weep into my vegetable soup if we didn’t beat this version of Manchester United. Especially the last 15 minute version with Harry Maguire and Johnny Evans playing centre back. A team with […]
This time last season, Arsenal had nine out of nine points, three games in, a perfect start. This solid foundation gave them a solid launching pad for a magnificent title charge: top of the table for 248 days, and falling short only at the last few hurdles, and reeled in by the Manchester City treble-wining […]
Too much time to think An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I have this theory about Mikel Arteta. Essentially, he makes better decisions with less time to prepare. If I was in a better mood I’d study past games to prove my point but I know that I’ve had this feeling quite a few […]
Of Equal Importance An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective My life experience has led me to understand that one of the most enjoyable times of a man’s life is when he is part of a band of brothers. Men need a group of men in their life. When a man finds this experience he […]
If I didn’t support Arsenal, I’d choose Arsenal Season Review …Part Two (of 3) Part One – for those who haven’t read it. POSITIVES: Arsenal are at least one year ahead of schedule. Arteta cannot say publicly but after such a good start he likely changed his goal for the season. I think he saw […]
Good day to the Arsenal Family!! Are we super excited for this game? Why shouldn’t we be..? The reason? Well, Mikel Arteta has instilled an unbelievable amount of self-belief in this young team, a fight that is reminiscent of battle-hardened warriors. Take your mind back to the Reiss Nelson Goal at the death against Bournemouth. […]
Football, wow! An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Unapologetic happiness. So rich and carefree that I forgot what inhibitions were. There have been a handful of times in my life that I didn’t care and let loose like I’d just received my 5th Grammy. Pulling over on the way to Albury so I could […]
Much has and will continue to be written about Bukayo Saka and his exploits in the famous Arsenal shirt. A shirt, lest we forget, that he has worn since he was 7 years old. 2 seasons ago, after the disappointment of non-selection for the 2020 FA Cup win, still aged only 19, virtually singled handed, […]
