#POSITIVES, NEEDS AND HOPES! I saw the sea again POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Once a year my wife and I enjoy a short trip. We miss our children but revel in the few days of no responsibilities. We go to the beach. I don’t like sunbathing like she does. I just sit and look at […]
This was a pleasing performance. It wasn’t a stellar one, but we were comfortable, didn’t really look troubled, and seemingly Herr Farke and his Norwich side are going back to the Championship. The line-up seemed fair enough, though the inclusion of Luiz was for me a negative. All the same, it was steady […]
With part one addressing the defensive issues, I now look at how we can improve our midfield and attacking options by bringing in players who provide quality and versatility. Midfield Over the last 10 years, this has to be the poorest midfield options available. Arteta’s recent comments suggested to me he’s looking to transition to […]
PL Project Restart has been an interesting one for us. City away was always a tall order. Brighton away should have been a win. Southampton away was hard-fought and well won. And at Sheffield United in the Cup, we rode our luck badly but then another game vs. City resulted. Amidst this, we’re having our […]
An In-depth Analysis of the Arsenal Squad PART ONE – THE DEFENSE Two positive results against Sheffield United and Southampton hopefully provide us momentum to finish the season strongly. But we must not forget that a huge squad rebuild must begin this coming window. It’s the perfect opportunity for Stan Kroenke to win over the […]
Might Arsenal Lose Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang? We are all aware of the fact that recruitment plays a critical role in football. The ability of a team to score top-tier players will often spell the difference between victory and defeat. This is why some analysts have grown a bit concerned about the lineup of personalities within the […]
Perception protection POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES If you read my last post you’ll know I talked about the different ways to win. I felt that Arteta won the Southampton game tactically. This didn’t surprise me as I see this as a strength. It will happen again. Yesterday, was very surprising. In a way I’m not […]
Relief! That’s the word I would describe our victory against the Saints. Collectively, we were much stronger defensively and nullified the supply lines to the in form Danny Ings and dangerous Shane long. Whilst there’s still plenty to work on, hopefully this result gives us the momentum needed to provide more consistency for the remainder […]
NOTE: This was written before the So’ton game. But for me, the issues at Arsenal Football Club have been a cascade of continually BAD decisions. It’s like a butterfly-effect of poor actions and wrong points, leading to our stellar mid-table placing currently. There is the poem of the “road not taken…” and how choices shape […]
So’ton 0-2 Arsenal Premier League Review – 25th June 2020 After the collective pre-game trepidation, we won a game away. Yay!! As our game was on Sky, there was an opportunity for more banter from the footballing world. But we did what we needed to do – and forestalled any jibes and mockery. Southampton had […]
