Arsenalog

This is Arsenal's lineup for the match against WestHam United, Leno; Sokratis, Koscielny, Mustafi; Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Guendouzi, Kolasinac; Iwobi; Aubameyang, Lacazette Subs: Cech, Bellerin, Lichtsteiner, Monreal, Torreira, Ramsey, Nketiah And this is Unai Emery's post-match comments on team selection and Özil's exclusion, "I decided the players I think are the best for this match. We win with him, we lose with him. I think it is not one player (Mesut Ozil) we can't win or lose." "The players who were here are the players who deserved to be in this match," added Emery after watching Arsenal losing another match on the road, hence only picking up two points out of the last fifteen possible when the gunners have played away from the Emirates. Now I have a lot of time and respect for the Master tactician from Spain, but how can you have five fullbacks (two in the first team and three starting on the bench) in your squad while you ...

And to be honest, I don’t intend to figure out the culprit, anyway. I just wanna present a picture of a player who is about to leave the club he once called his “home”....

Bernd Leno: Mislintat's last gift

Petr Cech, a name which has become a synonym to Premier League’s Goalkeeping, a legend in a true sense. But sadly we’re seeing the last of the humble shot-stopper as he has decided to hang his gloves at the end of the season. But being honest, Cech was past his peak when he arrived at Arsenal, and by the end of the last season, it was evident that he was no more the man to be trusted between the sticks. With that started the search of a goalkeeper who can fill his big boots, as the second choice keeper, David Ospina also was never considered being of the required quality. Cech, A Legend Surprising, there weren’t many names which came up during the recruitment pursuit for the goalkeeping position, as compared to the other positions which usually sees Arsenal linked with numerous names. But one name which came up early and strong was Bayer Leverkusen’s Bernd Leno, someone who’s a contrast to Cech in both, physicality and playing style. While Cech was this tall, athletic,...
