As it should be, a coach of a top side equips his lacklustre team at half time to have new ideas. Transforms and swings the game from east to west. Mr Emery, you impressed. Puel may have found a great tactical plan first half but when it mattered your decisions completely swung the game. Also, […]
Headline #1… Contenders? That looked like a team uninterested in settling for Top 4. Looked like a serious team with top quality, work ethic, team spirit and a coach who has a nasty habit of making a difference with his decisions. Headline #2….. Have Arsenal discovered gold with new formation? 4-2-2-2 suited all the players. […]
It’s obvious to all of that Unai has his style. and that is slowly being imbedded into the players mentality and hopefully will become second nature over the next few weeks. At present, it seems that Emery’s ethos is imprinting in the team, well for at least 20 minutes or so per game, which at […]
At half time I often check the thoughts of a few on twitter. Emotions can cloud. Clive Palmer @clivepafc is becoming increasingly well respected and often has the pulse. Today my main thought concurred with his: in-game management needed to be improved. Emery makes statements at half time either with subs or obvious improvements. The […]
Hello everyone. It’s been a while since I wrote home. Hopefully that will change from now on. It’s Chelsea away this Saturday as Emery tries to get a better result out of his team than on the opening day. I hasten to add some of our play against City was encouraging and will hopefully continue […]
I watched as much of our pre season fixtures as possible and wanted to share some of my initial observations of what I’ve seen so far in the Unai Emery era. Before I do that, I would like to take the opportunity to point out that offering opinions that don’t blow smoke up the players […]
Stephan Lichtsteiner, Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papasthatopoulos and Lucas Torreira in; Jack Wilshere, Santi Cazorla and surely a few more – David Ospina, Lucas Pérez, Carl Jenkinson and Joel Campbell – out. While transfers still represent a big part of the talk surrounding the Arsenal, I would draw your attention to a couple of players who […]
Tuesday may well turn out to be a landmark day for this current Arsenal side. Ainsley Maitland-Niles penning a long term contract extension and the almost certain capture of Lucas Torreira from Sampordia. A day where we committed to stylistic change in a vital area of the pitch. An attempt to enhance the area most […]
The South American country of Uraguay has produced many footballing talents that set Europe alight over the years, starting from the 1950s players like Schiaffino, Ghiggia lined up in Italy for both Milan and Roma to contribute to their club and country’s success. Of recent times Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani among others have been flying […]
