Willock reopens the modern day dilemma POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Depending on how brave Unai Emery is or how patient the club are, Joe Willock may yet become a regular Arsenal squad player.

Arsenal: Holding Out For A Hero (To Return)
Holding out for a hero My timeline has been peppered with #EmeryOut statements over the past few days.

Liverpool 5-1 Arsenal – Emery tweaks, Defence Leaks, Future’s Bleak? (Review + Player Ratings)
Did Emery replace our defence with a sieve? This may surprise some, but I think our display wasn’t all bad at Anfield. This ground is an odd one for us – we’ve had some immense highs (1989) and deep lows. This has to go along with the lows. We created chances in some […]
Temporary blip or year-end collapse? Emery needs to hit Arsenal’s Refresh button. Fast.
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.
