In this edition we look back on Saturday’s clash against Burnley at the Emirates. HIGHLIGHT Paul Hepker: Leo Trossard’s courage and commitment. He surely has to start every game. So consistent. Dave Seager: Zinchenko’s best game of the season and my MOTM. Does this give Arteta a new option? (See headlight) Steve Wellman: Zinny’s expertly […]
A glimpse of the mountain top An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective I wonder how many goals Arsenal have scored this season that were not scored by our striker. I never really research stats, but here goes. I’ll be right back. Ok, got it. We’ve scored 37 in all competitions and 26 were scored […]
Suffocation revelation An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective The result against Sevilla mattered. How much did the performance matter though? Not a huge amount beyond creating confidence and better habits. Part of me wants to say that this performance was the best of the season and the other part wants to say, ‘no way.’ […]

Checking Goal – […]
There’s alot of frustration with the team this season despite the positive results in the PL and CL. The feeling that there’s something simply not clicking is simmering under and over the surface. I’m quietely satisfied with how the team is shaping up. I’m liking the control over vibes approach but I’m also not naive […]
Is Yours Gold? A question that Arsenal supporters have been asking for the best part of 20 years now. To mark the 20th anniversary of that unforgettable season, I decided to write a book about it. As it’s just a few days away from arriving from the printers now, I thought I would give you […]
In this edition we look back on Saturday’s clash against Sheffield United at the Emirates. HEADLIGHT Steve Wellman: Apart from the obvious, 3 shots (on target), 3 goals from Eddie, the performances of Smith-Rowe and Havertz in the 8/10 roles. Without standing out, they both did what was needed and provided the links to the […]
