This game against Brighton has to be the worst performance from Arsenal this year. We had 68% possession and were a goal up after 6 minutes yet we could only manage a1-1 draw against a team whose players were shivering with fear at the start of the game. They could not string two passes together […]
Arsenal about to light the fire 🔥 POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Sometimes the coach needs to see something so poor in order for the fire to arrive. Ever since I moved from London to the US, I have greatly enjoyed living here but if I was to change something then this would be on the […]
A more comfortable discomfort POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES When we look back on Emery’s first season I’d say that our first memory will be how he made us a team of men. We bought ‘men’ in the summer and the coach had us working like a team of ‘men.’ Today was uncomfortable throughout but a […]
The Summer Mistake POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I’m not going in on the transfer team with two feet, but it is becoming very evident that Arsenal needed a natural winger last summer. Whether we kept Reiss Nelson or bought one or two of the names being brandished around, it is obvious that we don’t have […]
ARSENAL 1-0 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN EMIRATES STADIUM 8TH DECEMBER 2018 – PREMIER LEAGUE REVIEW “He comes from Uruguay…he’s only five foot high!” This game in truth wasn’t the best. As per my preview, I knew Huddersfield would come to rough us up, or at the least try and curtail us. We need to give […]
Utter frustration to unexpected joy… POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES It seems to me that this season whenever I’m getting highly frustrated, wishing we had a spark on the wing we find a way to win anyway. This season feels so different in many ways. We just seem like winners. We were very poor today but […]
ARSENAL 1-1 WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS PREMIER LEAGUE REVIEW – 11TH NOV. 2018 Even though today was Remembrance Day and the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI, this performance wasn’t one to remember. Due to a mix of a sound Wolves game plan, poor passing from Arsenal, and attacking ineptitude, Arsenal could only scrape a draw […]
Occam’s Razor is the philosophical principle that the simplest solution to any problem is usually the correct one. For Arsenal, that problem – perhaps their longest standing of many – has been the inability to field a consistently competent and sturdy midfield. It has been some 10 years since Gilberto Silva departed North London and […]
3 decisive moments…. Positives, Needs and Hopes Well, that wasn’t easy but that’s good for us. Will help us prepare for more difficult games. Three decisive moments decided the outcome. Mr. Rash had obviously been missing his close relationship with the grass and so decided to make a visit via whacking Kouyate. How long will […]
Crystal Palace 2-2 Arsenal Premier League review This was a real blood and guts game. Palace had a game plan, and this was to rough up, tackle, press, and hassle us. And it worked for them, largely. They were not high up in the table, however, they hadn’t scored a goal before today at […]
