By saving the seniors in the short-term is Arteta set to lose some of his talented youngsters?
Saving the seniors to lose the youngsters POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I have a reoccurring nightmare. It’s not what most are talking about during this baffling spell we are in. Let’s go there…. I think that most would agree that within the next 8 months we will likely sell Xhaka, Lacazette, Mustafi, Kolasinac, possibly Bellerin, […]
Arteta was always a risky appointment – can Arsenal afford to double down?
I haven’t written much about Arsenal for a long time. Partly because it sometimes felt pointless. Partly because I had become apathetic. I’ll admit, Mikel Arteta’s appointment got my interest back up in a short space of time. We had a number of fringe and/or underperforming players get a new lease on life, a clean […]
If Maitland Niles does not start in midfield v Burnley I will Weep! – The team that’s not there yet!
The team that’s not there yet POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I’m glad that I couldn’t watch the derby live. I got to watch it 8 hours after finding out the score. When I logged on to Twitter after the game many had unsurprisingly lost it with the manager and some of the players. Not living […]
Yes, we are still THE ARSENAL
Yes, The Arsenal Yes the result sucked Yes Maureen did one on us again Yes we are hurting Yes we weren’t at our best Yes we had 70% possession Yes we only had 2 shots on target Yes our creativity is virtually non existent Yes we have our ‘potential’ creative solution sitting at home earning […]
Form is temporary: why Arteta’s Arsenal underdogs will rise to the occasion (NLD Preview)
Tottenham Hotspur vs. Arsenal – PL preview Tottenham Hotspur irk me. Their white shirts and blue shorts. Their logo of a chicken standing on a ball. Their motto “To Dare Is To Do” when they’re seldom ever daring or doing. The fact they took their name from a 15th-century English warrior – Henry Hotspur. […]
Arteta told his Europa Players that starts versus Tottenham were up for grabs – AMN said YES PLEASE!
….. and Arteta saw that POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I understand that I might be preaching to the choir here, as Mikel Arteta was probably the one who initiated that performance last night, but if I was one of his staff I’d make him watch the Wolves game again then this one, and play spot […]
Waving goodbye to the solution – the 2 players Arsenal can’t afford to lose
Waving goodbye to the solution In 41 years of supporting Arsenal I’ve been gutted just a handful of times when certain players left the club. Limpar, Santi, Overmars, Petit, Song, Aliadiere, Bielik, Amaechi and Yunus Musah spring to mind. Strange list, perhaps. Henry, Fabregas, Vieira, Sanchez etc… I understood. Their reasoning made sense to me […]
Arteta comes up with the plan for the players to execute – If the plan isn’t working CHANGE IT!
There are times as a writer, be it professional or hobbyist, where you begin to question the futility of penning thoughts that you consider to be becoming repetitive. That’s the stage I had reached on Monday morning, following yet another league defeat the night before. In truth, I was sulking but as with anything that […]
Do Arsenal need one or both of their Former 10s? – Wilshere talks Ozil and a Dream Return
There is little doubt that Arsenal have a creativity issue and a confidence crisis at present, with Sunday’s defeat at home to Wolves condemning The Gunners to their worst start to a Premier League campaign for decades. Arteta’s team sit 14th and any fans making predictions here at casinosuden.com might be forgiven for not predicting Arsenal […]
