“Some, but not all…” An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective. On one level constructive criticism of Arsenal players seems somewhat harsh when we are in every competition and top of them all. On the other hand, the standards are so high that meeting them isn’t easy and if you fall away 5% then you […]
I was really struggling to find what the theme was from the Brentford game. I finally landed on how Arsenal are over complicating their attacking style, but you’ll read about that another day because I had an epiphany. I’m always ashamed to say that I haven’t given this enough attention already. My enlightenment started when […]
The October window delivered a proper mixed bag of friendlies and high‑stakes qualifiers, and plenty of Gunners (plus a few new faces in the squad) were right in the thick of it. Here’s how they got on over the past ten days—goals, assists, minutes, the lot—with an eye on how they’ll return to London Colney. […]
I have spent way too much thinking time trying to figure out who would be the best left-wing signing for Arsenal? That’s the exciting position to ponder because we all know it’s between two or three at striker and I’ve asked the good Lord for Viktor Gyokeres for three years and so at some point […]
I look forward to watching Mikel Arteta’s press conferences. Not just because he’s the Arsenal manager and my interest in Arsenal and our games, although obviously that’s the primary reason I even bother tuning in (I’m not sat at home watching every Pep Guardiola Man City press scrum). Not just for Arteta’s salacious transfer tittle-tattle […]
Five years later An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Max was home alone watching the PSG game. I miss not having him on our car rides back and forth to school as he is now doing home school. School curriculum is getting a lil weird and American schools are a target for nut […]
Through the fog of stress An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I’ve sat here for a rather long time trying to figure out the story of the game. A really unique game. Arsenal were largely extremely good but you know that. Leicester’s keeper had a big day but their defence rode their luck […]
Double, double, toil and trouble, In London and Manchester, big games did bubble Early at the Etihad, Haaland scored City hoped to put Arsenal to the sword Maanum scored early to set the tone Could the ladies go on to beat City at home? A quality pass from Martinelli And what a finish by Calafiori […]
A week on from last week’s disaster class produced by Chris Kavanagh, the feeling of overall resentment & frustration towards the standard of Premier League officiating has still not left my body, and nor will it until the PGMOL finally find it within themselves to move on from the imperialist policies they look to deploy […]
‘Felt like April’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I’m sitting in the cozy corner watching Inter Miami v Cincinnati. Max and I were discussing how Inter Miami, FC Cincinnati, Columbus Crew and LAFC would do in a competitive game against a PL team. If you don’t watch MLS (I rarely do), you’ll be […]
