Arsenal must be more direct to beat the Leeds high press

This feels a little weird this morning because I'm writing a pre match preview of the game later on today between Leeds and The Arsenal, without really being 100% confident as to whether it will actually be going ahead, what with all of the COVID-19 problems causing matches left, right and centre to be cancelled [...]

How will this Arsenal team react to the Auba situation against West Ham?

In classic 'Curse of Chris' fashion after saying yesterday that Arsenal, Arteta and Aubameyang needed to sort out the situation between them quickly and quietly, it all blew up yesterday, didn't it? We got the confirmation that Aubameyang would not be captain, that he would not be available for the game against West Ham, plus [...]

The Aubameyang problem rears its head ahead of Southampton game

It's match day and whilst the focus should be on who are the best and fittest players available to be selected today to try to get us back on track and winning at home to Southampton, unfortunately we are once again dealing with some problems in the Arsenal camp, or at least what looks like [...]

Is a youthful and high intensity attack the way forward tonight?

Tottenahm, West Ham and Man United all won this weekend, which brings in to focus exactly what is needed from Mikel Arteta's side tonight as we face an Everton team who have had some injuries, some poor run of form, but haven't lost at home to us in four years. Last season we lost 2-1 [...]

Arsenal must win the battle out wide against Man United

I feel rather apprehensive about tonight's game. It's old wounds you see. I remember when United were a bit of a joke under Moyes just after Fergie left and they beat us on their patch and got a 0-0 at our gaff after we utterly battered them with De Gea having essentially the game of [...]

Banish the bad taste of defeat by beating Newcastle today, Arsenal

By |2021-11-27T08:58:59+00:00November 27th, 2021|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, gooners, Gunners, Match Preview, premier league|0 Comments

Morning folks and welcome to Saturday, with an early kick off and an opportunity for Arsenal to try to banish the bad taste of last weekend's battering at the hands of Liverpool. Newcastle are bottom of the league, haven't won a game yet, don't have a great record against us at the Emirates and last [...]

Liverpool preview – at least we have hope…

So here we are. Back to match day and the excited nerves are kicking in already. Although I will admit that I'd have preferred us to get back in to the swing of the Premier League without having to play one of the hardest away games in world football right now. And it's probably made [...]

Watford to mirror Arsenal’s formation, so we must step up

This'll be a quick one today as I'm off to have a pre match meal with the family in Islington before the old man and I make our way to the game. Watford at home in the old days - like six or seven years ago - would be one in which you'd be wondering [...]

A tough ask for Arsenal at Leicester today

I'd take a draw today. There, I said it. I've set my stall out for today's blog early on and I'll be completely frank with you, I fear this game now that we are on the eve of it. We've scored one goal away all season, which was in the 1-0 win over Burnley. We've [...]

Arsenal must maintain momentum against Leeds, but with the fringe players

By |2021-10-26T07:35:19+01:00October 26th, 2021|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, League Cup, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

Howdy peeps and welcome to what I like to call the "low risk match day". It's a game this evening at home to Leeds United in which Arsenal we hope will of course win, but with it being in the League Cup, the stakes don't feel as high, so as a result if we end [...]
