Match Report Arsenal continued their perfect record in the Europa League and moved three points clear at the summit of group B, as they came from a goal behind to beat Molde 4-1 at the Emirates. Nicolas Pepe and Joe Willock starred for Arsenal as they both got on the score-sheet late on, after two […]
Having spent the last few weeks discussing players of 17 and 18 John and I thought we should perhaps return to a player that might be closer to a first team break through. We have two right backs out on loan this season in Zak Swanson and Jordi Osei-Tutu and I was recently impressed watching […]
A Necessary Chaos POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Watching Aaron Ramsey at Arsenal was a frustrating experience for me. I know I wasn’t the only one that felt that Arsenal wasted his best years. A potentially world class player who was never played consistently as a box to box midfielder in a midfield three. What happened […]
Ever since the era of UCL football ended and the era of UEL came in, the managers have used the Europa League for a chance to give minutes to the upcoming youngsters. In his final season, Le Professeur – Arsene Wenger, introduced the likes of soon-to-be England U21’s record goalscorer – Eddie Nketiah, and the […]
Following last week’s result at home against Dundalk, Arsenal struggled against an Irish Low-Block, which resulted in us having a lot of the ball. We can expect the same tonight from Moldë who will look to sit back and hit us on the counter-attack. One man that will most definitely help break a low-block, is […]
The Premier League’s ‘Big Six’ isn’t a fixed concept. Fifteen years ago, you might have argued it was more of a ‘Big Three’. Whereas ten years ago, there were maybe four teams who challenged for the title. The number of teams who hit that peak of performance, and dominate both home and away, can shift […]
On occasions when our manager and players have failed to deliver in games, some of our supporters including myself, have criticised them, so by the same token, it’s only fair that we praise them when they do perform. After previously questioning some of Mikel Arteta’s tactics and decisions, it was perhaps inevitable that I would […]
Respecting Gabriel’s Partey It’s very rare that pundits have anything nice to say about The Arsenal and our players. It’s as rare as rocking horse excrement that ex United player pundits have anything nice to say about The Arsenal and our players, but after Monday night’s performance, the unthinkable happened and Red Pundits FC had […]
Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal – 14 years is way too long! This isn’t a peak Man United side by no means. Yes, they finished third last season and have some top players like Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford, and now Cavani. But to win at Old Trafford after 14 years with some debasing defeats (8-2), […]
It’s not in the Headlines POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES My son Maxwell asks me the same question each week after his football match. He asks me, ‘How did I do, Dad?’ All parents reading this can relate. We all get a similar question. We all probably feel the same way about our response. We tell […]
