The Gunners notched their first away win this season, and made it two league wins on the trot in the process, but I think it will be fair to say the manner of the win raised more questions than it answered. Let’s get straight to it. Cech’s distribution is abysmal – again While it’s clear […]
Hi everyone. We face Cardiff away this coming Sunday and the game will come as another test of our credentials. After an underwhelming, though somewhat expected, outcome of the first two games, the Gunners went on to win against West Ham. The performance was not ideal from what I have glimpsed, but at least we […]
I hate losing and I’m disappointed by every defeat that Arsenal suffers. However, I wasn’t angry or surprised by our defeat against the current league champions, Manchester City, in our opening game. They are a class above us and everyone else domestically. In saying that, like many others, I expect Liverpool to get much closer […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes…. The past still influences the present This still looks like a Wenger side. Do not blame Emery yet. As I said last week, Arsi ene Wenger left this team with such a complacent tactical attitude and with no repercussions for lack of work ethic. It will therefore take longer than we […]
Well, that looked like a true team against a new team. Not an excuse, just facts in action. Formation 4-2-3-1 POSITIVES * Maitland Niles’s glides in possession and exudes so much confidence on the ball. I hope, as he gets older he keeps this carefree love for the ball and does not over think or […]
Arsenal 1 (6) – 1 (5) Chelsea International Champions Cup Dublin · August 1, 2018 So: high press vs high press. Both teams used all 120 yards too. Generally, similar playing styles so very interesting match up! FORMATION Attacking 4-2-3-1 (best I could tell) Defensively 4-4-1-1 POSITIVES Got out of Chelsea press often. Kolasinac […]
One of the final acts of Arsene Wenger’s reign was to sanction the signing of Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and what a decision it immediately proved to be. The Gabon international hit 10 goals and provided 4 assists in 14 games for the Gunners, getting off to a wonderful start at the Emirates. He should […]
Holidays are a weird thing aren’t they? You look forward to them for months, away from the stress of real life and work and putting the bins out. But when you get here you lie down for an hour by the pool and worry that you are wasting your time and start thinking about what […]
For all the talk of a rousing, fist-bumping send-off for Arsène Wenger that would go down as one of the club’s greatest European nights, Arsenal’s lacklustre defeat at the Wanda Metropolitano on Thursday instead provided a stark reminder of where the club finds itself in the final act of Wenger’s 22-year reign. A fairytale finish […]
As a child, I had no knowledge of Arsenal Football Club. Spoiled for choice, the allocation of my sporting heart was split between my favorite collegiate and professional baseball, basketball, football, and hockey teams. Playing Fifa in my mid-teens provided the initial exposure, but almost non-existent Premier League media coverage meant I could not become […]
