It’s been a catastrophic season so far. But perhaps yesterdays performance may just be a catalyst for change. In this piece, I provide an in-depth match review, discussing the formations/tactics deployed by Mikel Arteta, a general review of the game followed by highlighting individual performances. Initially, it seemed that the hybrid 3-4-3 would be retained […]
Running Scared (and I am Beginning to think we might struggle to make top 4) So, the polarisation of Gooners has begun again. You are either ‘Arteta Out’ or ‘Blind Arsenal Faith’. There is no middle way. Gone are the days of reasoned debates and subjective thought process. These have been replaced by […]
Southampton awaits tonight and the pressure against Mikel Arteta has never been greater in his short stint into football management. Now I know the instant reaction to a defeat results in micro analysing every detail and often an anger fuelled decision in that moment that everyone needs to be sacked. I often like to play […]
As soon as I saw the team selection for our game against Burnley, I felt deflated before a ball had even been kicked. Judging from the lack of noise from our supporters inside the stadium, I wasn’t the only one. Our starting lineups are as predictable and unimaginative as the majority of our league performances […]
The HUGE small detail Houssem Aouar may never sign for Arsenal. If he doesn’t don’t chuck this post in the bin because there’ll be another that this speaks to. When signing a player the very first step is identifying the needs of the team. If I had that job this would be my list […]
Before the days leading up to the FA Cup Final, I had a few thoughts rushing through my head. With so much riding on this game, European qualification, bragging rights, the chance to win Arteta his first trophy, our fourteenth FA cup and a win increasing the odds of Aubameyang committing his future to Arsenal, […]
Since signing for Arsenal in 2016, Granit Xhaka has been a polarising figure for Arsenal fans. From literally picking his nose as Watford scored a goal back in 2017, to his ability to score goals at long range, to being praised for recent performances, Xhaka is an interesting and perhaps misunderstood player. Some Arsenal supporters […]
Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal Premier League Review I must say – I like Villa. Like Arsenal, the biggest club in their city and region. And have won the European Cup no less – let’s be frank, we haven’t. And we had one of our greatest FA Cup wins against them in 2015. Arguably the greatest, […]
It’s the game every Arsenal fan looks forward to. Fiery, controversy, passion and hatred are words I’d associate with the NLD. Add Mourinho into the mix and it’s spiced things up to a whole new level. Right now I’m confident but I guarantee you that come Sunday morning, anxiety will creep in. Spurs: Set […]
Vital Statistics from Arsenal 1-1 Leicester City Premier League • Matchday 34 • 07 July 2020 In a performance that showed resilience, battle, structure and a superb attitude, we can find ourselves unlucky not to take the 3 points after the damaging red card and our unfortunate inability to finish key chances and put the […]
