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 […]
WERE SUMMER DECISIONS TOLD IN SPRING? Positives, Needs and Hopes Were Summer transfer decisions told to the players in Spring? This is an educated guess, not knowledge…… What happened after the Napoli tie? Such an impressive result against a very good opponent and then a total 3 game collapse. I don’t think it’s too far […]
Out-Foxed at the King Power This was a new low. And I feel it was coming from the off. The team selection was fair, in terms of the player quality. It was seemingly a 442 we were playing, but then from the off, Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers got his players up for it, […]
Leicester City vs. Arsenal Premier League preview We have another away day, and this time at the King Power Stadium, the home of Leicester City. It’s been a mixed season for Leicester, with the untimely death of their owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. Seasoned manager Brendan Rodgers has also come in, and despite not achieving fully […]
Howdy. It’s safe to say gameweek 9 didn’t exactly go according to plan. Strikers disappointed, Pep rotated and you had to be very astute for your midfield to compensate for that. Let’s get our teeth into the latest trends, shall we? Forwards The situation is such it might be wise to go with two up […]
Howdy. The Premier League returns tomorrow after another tedious international break, and with it returns its lesser Fantasy twin. Let’s try navigating the murky waters thereof ahead of gameweek 8. Forwards Unless you own Kane or Lukaku (or both) you have probably been sweating most of the break. By the way, while we are on […]
Hi everyone. Another gameweek is looming large, and you have one more day to tinker with your fantasy squad. That means looking back on the last gameweek, the fixtures to come, and assessing your best options in different areas. Starting with… Forwards If the last week taught us anything, it’s that Aguero is still a […]
Having been back in England for the past two weeks, I’ve been a bit more immersed in the the media culture of the motherland and I have come away with a few observations: 1 – According to the media and Twitter, Jamie Vardy has gone from being a top class, must have striker, to an […]
It’s been almost two weeks since we supposedly activated the release clause in Jamie Vardy’s Leicester City contract and the speculation has become increasingly tiresome. In the days that followed our alleged bid for Vardy, news also broke of Manchester City reportedly attempting to agree a deal for Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The reaction to […]
Let me get this out of the way first: Arsenal deserved to win the game. Those who say we were lucky to win it are partly right, but saying that without context would not be doing justice to the Gunners. The reality is such: we played Ranieri’s men off the park. We had 78% of […]
