Munich Awaits! Time to make it count

Posted on 14 December, 2016 by Blog Admin

Something a little different this week as Regular Bloggers Luke (@LukeIsPremium) and OG (@Hollefreund) team up to give their thoughts on drawing Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

In a completely surprising turn of events (ha!), we’ve drawn German giants Bayern Munich in the Champions League round of 16. After topping our group against Paris Saint-Germain we’d have hoped for a kinder draw but any of that hope was obviously futile and we’d have met the elite clubs eventually anyway.

This season Arsenal have looked more solid and have a better feeling of true resilience about them. Saying this straight after a very disappointing performance versus Everton isn’t ideal timing but 2 defeats in the League all season to date is very promising and shows genuine improvement from last season.

The evolution of Alexis Sánchez

Posted on 6 December, 2016 by Blog Admin

Alexis Sánchez week by week is growing into the centre forward we’ve been waiting years for. Many have long called for him to get an extended run centrally whilst others have passed him up as “not a striker” entirely, but now we’re seeing the true colours of El Niño Maravilla – a transformation that could end up rivaling that of any player in Wenger’s tenure and the options it gives us should fill us all with great hope.

Alexis is now in his 3rd season in the red & white of Arsenal and in that time he’s struck 55 goals and given 31 assists in his 113 games – most of those whilst operating from the left wing. A deadly maverick of a workhorse that is constantly hell bent on playing football and winning football games, he has a hunger that I could argue has never been seen at this football club before. In this new central role I believe we will see the best of him and introduce him to a new pedestal of leading players in the world.

You can draw many parallels between Alexis and Luis Suárez. Suárez didn’t look like a natural premier league striker in his opening few years at Liverpool and it wasn’t until he partnered Sturridge in Brendan Rodger’s diamond formation that we saw what truly was to come from him. Since then he’s become the best number 9 in the world and I doubt many would argue against that.

Manchester United’s plight a cautionary tale for Arsenal

Posted on 30 November, 2016 by Blog Admin

sc banner

Arsenal fans have no doubt been watching events unfold at Old Trafford this season with a grin on their face. The arrival of Jose Mourinho has not brought the level of success that usually follows the Portuguese manager wherever he goes and instead it has been a difficult start.

After 13 games United have picked up just 20 points, making it their worst ever start to a Premier League season. Already they are 11 points off leaders Chelsea and the last time they began a campaign this badly they finished 13th. The signs do not look good.

When you add to that Mourinho has already been sent to the stands twice this season, the second time for kicking a water bottle down the touchline, it all makes for a grim time up north. Even the world record arrival of Paul Pogba has failed to truly lift spirits.
