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.

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.

Mesut, Alexis and Alexandre – Les Trois Mousquetaires put Everton to the sword
I’ll start off by saying this is the best I have seen Arsenal perform this season. We started the game full of beans, driven to score early and settle the nerves and, were it not for Pickford’s excellent form at the outset, we could have been out of sight by the time Rooney scored. Instead […]
