Writing after the Southampton league game away, where Pepe scored a fine goal in a sound win, it may be harsh to call Pepe out or question his time at the club. However, as our record signing, and the poor performance of Pepe in the Cup loss at Soton, questioning him may be apt. […]
When it’s the Coach POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Every game can be won or lost by a coach. Something they do or don’t do. Often it’s plural. Yesterday, Mikel Arteta and Ralph Hassenhuttl got to show themselves. Two games, same opponents, back to back. A real coaches game. Just played each other so we were […]
I generally don’t go along with singling out players, but at 1am this morning I was just astounded by the total ineptitude of the two GINOs. ‘Gunners in name only’, Pepe-Le-Pew and Will-I-Ain’t have further cemented their cause as season long bench warmers. Another stinker from the Ivorian and a no show by the Brazilian, […]
It’s speaks volumes when you look at the team sheet, knowing that’s it’s 3rd round of the FA Cup, knowing the club is resting players for the league and your name appears on it. It’s even more telling when the next two league games come around and you are back bench warming. The teenage kicks […]
Mesut Özil is gone, we can all move on.When in the mood, he was one of the most creative players in the league, someone whose qualities we could do with at present, but sadly he hasn’t been in the mood for quite some time and now he’s gone.Emile Smith Rowe is in desperate need of […]
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta is willing to help Nicolas Pepe improve and succeed with his team, having picked out what the Ivorian forward has to do for their upcoming games. The Ivory international moved to the Emirates Stadium during the summer transfer window in 2019 from Ligue club Lille for £72 million, which […]
It’s time to get in the ambulance The Positives, Needs and Hopes will return but I don’t think they are relevant today. I think this is more relevant… Over the last few years I’ve been avoiding the doctor. I didn’t feel right and knew I needed to go but fear and the hope for a […]
As soon as I saw the team selection for our game against Burnley, I felt deflated before a ball had even been kicked. Judging from the lack of noise from our supporters inside the stadium, I wasn’t the only one. Our starting lineups are as predictable and unimaginative as the majority of our league performances […]
….. and Arteta saw that POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I understand that I might be preaching to the choir here, as Mikel Arteta was probably the one who initiated that performance last night, but if I was one of his staff I’d make him watch the Wolves game again then this one, and play spot […]
The last few league matches, certainly the home ones, will have left most Arsenal fans scratching their collective heads. These are predominantly the same players, and the same coach who finished the last campaign with a flourish beating many of the top sides right? This cannot just be about changing from three to four at […]
