They wiped the floor with us. And the worst part about the entire debacle? It was mostly to be expected. We’ve always been pretty diabolical away at the Etihad, and against the Citizens in general. Arsenal haven’t won away at Manchester City since January 18, 2015, and have conceded […]

Arsenal dominated the early minutes, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Thomas Partey both […]

Saka, of course, is the operative example, the name on everybody’s lips, but […]

Slavia Prague weren’t particularly good, and we missed loads of open chances—Saka, Laca, and Auba all missed sitters. Genuinely just […]

Individual errors and costly mistakes have headlined an up-and-down campaign that has shown promising flashes, but nothing like the consistency Mikel Arteta demands of his team. However, Arsenal have been relatively successful against ‘big six’ sides this […]
