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 […]
I wrote that title 30 seconds before Bellerin decided to not cover the back post! Still, we won so my big takeaway is still that the same. For over 10 years my experience with Arsenal has been very similar… can always score but make big mistakes and make it too easy for opponents to score. […]
Emery dream-team. Who can best suit his style, and help us compete for the league again? Things are shaping up under Emery. A number of the defensive issues remain. But then it’s often said that a team takes the shape of a manager’s footballing philosophy, and even true persona, over time. Wenger is […]
Cardiff City 2-3 Arsenal – Premier League review A hard fought win in the Welsh capital for us, and about time we got another away win. Our last trip to this part of our country saw one of our worst defeats last season. But today, we got the win, and overall it was […]
Granit Xhaka is a player whom I like. I think under both Wenger and now Emery, he is not being utilised properly. There is a podcast I watch/listen to a lot named Cheeky Sport, and in a recent show one of the hosts called Xhaka “the Swiss Charlie Adam….” Now, this was intended to […]
There has been much written in the aftermath of the opening weekend defeat in Emery’s first competitive match. I have read much of it, listened to more and even found myself wholly unready to talk about what went wrong on the radio on Monday. It is difficult because I am certain the vast majority of […]
AFC vs AM ….. Positives, needs and hopes I thought you might like bullet points on the game just finished. Living in the US we get every AFC game pre-season and during season. You lot still get to go to the game so you win! * First Half formation 4-3-3 or could be 4-2-3-1, hard […]
I believe top four could be back Yes. the thing we were locked for and got pissed off with getting every year is now back on our radar. Irony aside, there are several reasons why I’m feeling more confident this year. We are: Addressing long-standing faults Our midfield balance is […]
Top ten points Unai Emery needs to address….. It’s good to have a manager who is geared towards solving our key issues. But then what should he do exactly, as our new head coach? This is a take on what I’d like to see him achieve: Europe should be an Emery aim […]
When Unai Emery was announced as Arsène Wenger’s successor, many raised eyebrows at an appointment which had left some of the fanbase uninspired, and after two years with Paris Saint-Germain the former Sevilla boss will bring exciting, new ideas to Emirates Stadium. I think 90% of Arsenal fans were preparing for the news that Mikel […]
