Kolasinac, Ramsey and Xhaka save Cech’s blushes but again Monreal MOTM
Arsenal 2-1 Swansea City Review – Premier League We won, and I’m glad. But then in a way it was same old Arsenal. We deserved to win, but then we made hard work of it. And our individual errors cost us in parts. Our issues are, as always, mental and attitudinal. Seems the board were […]
Swans Gunned down eventually but is it time for a Keeper to Cech Out?
For the second time inside a week Arsenal have done something I thought they were not capable of since the meek surrender to Watford: they showed some guts. Both against Everton and Swansea the Gunners went behind; both goals were conceded against the run of play; both were the first moments of danger created near […]
The Confidence and Preparation for Spurs and City starts by beating Swansea
Arsenal vs. Swansea City Premier League preview Ozil resurged, and Eddie Nketiah became our new hero this week. Though we are at home to Swansea, and it seems vis a vis the Norwich game, we will see the big guns return. However, how will we fare here? I predict this team will start: […]
Arsenal’s attack back on track to deliver for #FPL owners?
Howdy. It’s safe to say gameweek 9 didn’t exactly go according to plan. Strikers disappointed, Pep rotated and you had to be very astute for your midfield to compensate for that. Let’s get our teeth into the latest trends, shall we? Forwards The situation is such it might be wise to go with two up […]
Mesut Özil- Overrated or Underappreciated?
Since Mesut Özil became Arsenal’s record signing on transfer deadline day in September 2013, there has been plenty of talk over whether he was worth the £42.4m Arsenal paid for the German. Here I look at whether he has fulfilled his potential with the Gunners. Statistically, Mesut Özil has been exceptional in his four years […]
Is Monreal, Kolasinac Interchangeability a New Feature of Arsenal’s Play?
It has been a largely positive week for Arsenal with wins in three competitions but it is a feature of the Premier League victory over Everton that caught my attention. It has been a case of finding the time to do some research and write something here. Much has been said about Nacho Monreal, by […]
An Alternative Sub to Giroud – Inside track on teen sensation Eddie Nketiah with Jeorge Bird
Have you ever watched the film the Lion King? Perhaps you’ve seen a David Attenborough documentary on big cats in the wild, maybe you watched Cats the musical. OK the last one is unlikely to wield much help in this regard but the first two you’ll have noticed how when there are older lions on […]
Nketiah and Akpom – The Next big thing and the Nearly was our Next big thing?
Two and a half years have passed since Arsenal demolished Aston Villa 5-0 at the Emirates Stadium. In a routine Sunday afternoon stroll on February’s first day, Chuba Akpom was given 20 minutes to impress, replacing Olivier Giroud off the bench. Within five minutes, some intelligent play saw Akpom dragged down, winning a penalty which […]
