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 […]
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 […]
Well this weekend’s rare Saturday 3pm fixture at home to a West Ham team that seem to have turned a corner, looks massive. Win tomorrow and then away at Brighton, on the back of 2 home wins in the last two Premier League outings and Arsenal may unexpectedly find themselves back on the hunt for […]
Heads Up….on Everton After watching Everton’s recent games and getting the opinion of EFC bloggers, @UHTpodcast and @WatchedToffee, here is a Heads Up on Arsenal’s opponents. 1) Form… Won 3, drawn 2 of last five. 2) Formation and Potential line up… Wondering if Iwobi will get the nod over in form Bernard. Holgate is in form and played […]
Heads Up…..on Olympiakos 1) Insight…. Olympiakos are a very aggressive and intense team with a possession based style. Their style will not be as dominant against Arsenal, however. 2) Formation and Potential line up… 3) Absent players…. Soudani is out with an ACL tear. He is their second highest scorer with seven. 4) In form players…… Olympiakos feel like this […]
Heads Up…..on Newcastle After watching Newcastle’s recent games and getting the opinion of NUFC bloggers, @john_nufc42, @tfalex1892, @PositivelyToon and @ScottyT9804, here is a Heads Up on Arsenal’s next opponents. 1) Insight…. As good as Dubravka is as a shot stopper, he can be weak in physical confrontations and can push rebounds in front of his goal. Our pace […]
Heads Up….on Burnley If you read my Positives, Needs and Hopes blog you may appreciate this new blog…. Heads Up! I’m writing prior to Arsenal games about what you can expect from our opponent. Tactical insight, formation, patterns of play, strengths and weaknesses etc… After watching 3 of Burnley’s recent games and getting the opinion of two Burnley […]
Arsenal vs Leeds FA Cup third round preview Born and raised in Leeds for a third of my life, its hard to not feel a sense of affinity or almost nationality when it comes to football clubs, as is the case for me with Leeds United. Although I started supporting Arsenal in my teens, there […]
After the international break, we’re back with a home game vs. Southampton. England and Wales, amongst the four UK sides, have qualified for Euro 2020 outright. Can we get the win here, in our hope to qualify for another competition commencing in 2020 (Champions League)? If we can, it’s dependent on our tactics, […]
Watford vs. Arsenal preview Our training ground neighbours are our next opponents, though this may be trickier than anticipated considering their recent managerial change. But there is some beef, of sorts, between us, so it’s intriguing to see how this will pan out. The usual talk when we play them is the “cojones” […]
