On the bus after Leicester. Trossard pulls the miracle when the hope fades
•
Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli delivered the goals for Arsenal to pass the final test. The test that was very close to be failed. Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard who mostly replaced each other, were the ones to sort out the game in Odegaard’s absence.

Before Leicester. The final test without captain
•
Arsenal has gone through a very rough patch with a very decent outcome. Victory at Spurs away, draw with Atalanta in CL, split points at Etihad with keeping the main title rivals only at 2 point distance. All these results were achieved without our captain. The one most able to…

Before Bolton. “Dark Arts” propaganda is spreading in every corner
•
It’s been two days since the draw on Etihad, but my nerves still haven’t calmed down, because of what is happening around the game. All the interviews from City players convinced me that it’s a club-level decision (and Pep is supporting it) to discredit Arsenal in front of football society…

On the bus after Etihad. Monstrous performance after another stupid referee decision
•
It’s hard to write a post after such game that makes you completely emotionally exhausted. Arsenal has pulled the monster of second half, almost securing a first Etihad win with a 10-man squad. There was only a small minute separating Arsenal team from a win.

Before Etihad. Is defensive solidity all we can offer?
•
The goalless draw against Atalanta left me both impressed and frightened. Impressed with our defensive solidity, and even a penalty after a very costly Partey mistake was very unnecessary, since Saliba was already there to cover. Frightened with our complete disconnection in attack.

Before Atalanta. The need to keep up with the top level
•
Arsenal starts on Thursday in the Champions League – and it feels very exciting. We have been out for so many years, so even a second year after return still feels exciting. I don’t feel that we got tested enough against major European teams in the last round. I don’t…

On the bus after Spurs. Gabriel pulls Arsenal cart on the title road
•
Arsenal have secured the excellent result away at Spurs. 0-1 victory with low block defence was in everyone’s hopes after the news of Odegaard missing the game. It was our record third-in-a-row win on the Toilet Bowl, which is by itself very impressive.

Before Tottenham. In search of the bodies.

Every crisis is an opportunity. And the fact that miss Odegaard and Rice, could actually be a good chance to give up our traditional ball possession in favour of counterattacking football.

On the break. Injury ghost is haunting Arsenal
•
Good Sunday, everyone! It’s been an international break, that rarely comes with positive news. So I’d like to share some accumulated thoughts. As many Arsenal supported, I am growing onto the Sterling’s presence in the team. My main worry was that he’s no longer motivated to fight for points in…

On the bus after Brighton. Referee performance spoils the football fest
•
A home draw so early in the season is definitely not what the run for title against Man City needs. 10-man Arsenal was defending most of the seconds half the sacred point after an eye-opening decision from the referee.
