They might miss key players across the field; they might concede two goals in the opening 30 minutes; they might face Germany’s top side, away from home yet they won’t back down. The resilience shown by this group of players is simply sensational. Nothing is done yet in terms of reaching the Champions League final, […]
Arsenal Women lifted the Continental Tyres Cup for the sixth time since its inception, the last one being in 2018. It’s the first trophy for Jonas Eidevall as Arsenal head-coach and the first trophy for the club since the league win in 2019 – four years ago. Contrarily to what a bitter Emma Hayes said […]
Another game against Chelsea, another hurtful result.Once again, we are left ruing the missed chances, the lack of composure in front of goal. Chelsea took their chances while we didn’t and that, combined with some poor defending, cut our FA Cup journey very short. Jonas Eidevall reverted to a back four, with Liä Walti and […]
The good news is that we created chance after chance.The bad news is that we had to wait until the extra time to convert one of them. I feel like I am writing the same thing over and over, lately. I cannot say any bad word about how the team is setup, how the players […]
The AWFC Journal – A tale of chances taken and missedA new page of the AWFC Journal was long overdue, I know. It’s been a while and more precisely since the home draw to Chelsea, which left a bittersweet aftertaste. Although we comfortably dispatched Aston Villa in the Conti Cup (3-0) and Leeds United in […]
It’s fair to say that the players did their best to ensure we would all have a nice winter break: the thumping of Zurich in Schaffhausen was embellished with some truly spectacular goals and skills, with Frida Maanum’s delicate free kick scooping the virtual goal of the night award. The Norwegian wonderkid, who is truly […]
It could have been easier. It should have been easier. We held on to the goal scored by Vivianne Miedema and got a truly deserved win, but Everton had two huge chances to equalize and snatch a very unlikely point at Meadow Park. Although we cannot prevent opponents from having chances to score, we ought […]
Winning at home to West Ham might not be the fondest memory some of the die-hard Arsenal Women’s fans have but it was very special to me, as it was the first Arsenal Women game I ever attended. Despite arriving late to Meadow Park (!) I didn’t miss much and could see the awful mix-up […]
It was a pleasant Sunday for us, Arsenal fans, but not an easy one. For those who watched the men’s match at Leeds and then tuned-in to watch the Women’s take on Reading, it was double joy and double pain. Jonas Eidevall’s team edged the Royals not without difficulty, despite what the league table might […]
What a nice way to start the new campaign! The four-nil win at home against Brighton had many protagonists and several highlights but, to me, Stina Blackstenius was the story of the night. The Swede, whose arrival raised a few eyebrows for all the wrong reasons, has been a constant pain for the Seagulls with […]
