Much like the last game we played - Leicester in the Carabao Cup - tonight's game is a weird one for me because it really doesn't feel like a game in which we should worry too much about. I mean obviously it's a big game and I'm sure i'll be nervous by the time kick [...]

Arteta needs to ‘rope-a-dope’ against Rodgers’ press tonight

Morning all and welcome to another matchday, at the beginning of what is a very tough month's worth of fixtures, starting with Leicester City away in the Carabao Cup this evening. It's a game in which I don't think there's been a full press conference due to the timings, but Mikel did spend a little [...]

Arsenal must use the flanks well and be prepared for the Leicester counter

Another matchday is here and it’s ‘Part II’ of our Death Run as we come up against Leicester City at The Emirates this evening. This game is an intriguing one - and just as terrifying as the Wolves one - because of the way in which Leicester battered us on their turf earlier in the [...]

Frustratingly, because I've got overseas travel with work today, I'll not find out the result of the game until about 7pm tonight. Which isn't exactly helping my nervous disposition when I think about the game in general. This - as well as Rennes at home on Thursday next week - is season defining for Emery [...]

Style change in Arsenal attack probably means a Giroud exit

It's the Friday calm before the 'storm' ahead of another pre season tour game tomorrow against that horrible lot from West London tomorrow. Like we didn't see enough of them last season. Now we have to deal with them in the summer too. And their fans will be extra buoyed by the Morata signing, which [...]

Sell Alexis?

Following my blog yesterday about how Arsenal haven't really adopted the counter attack properly in years, I thought I'd offer a somewhat controversial opinion as a solution, which I've been thinking about following the stories emerging about Alexis wanting to head back to Spain. Firstly, why he'd want to go back to a country who [...]
