Questions abound around Arsenal and the only way this could well be the only way they are likely to be answered
In trying to sum up the year so far, with all of its trials and tribulations, the same little tidbit comes to mind.
Mesut Özil accomplished something last week that is both damning to his critics and completely irrelevant to his fans; he failed the ‘eye test’.
Arsenal are second in the league, unbeaten since opening day (except the EFL Cup), and have just won their Champions League group whilst scoring 18 goals in the process.
Left wing. Right wing. Centre midfield. Centre attacking midfield. Aaron Ramsey can play in all four of those positions, and it may be the reason why Arsenal end up selling him in the summer.
In the last two games, Arsenal have shown that they have the strongest squad in the Premier League, and that they have two distinct formulas available to them that they can use can get results in almost any circumstance but Granit Xhaka is the key
Mesut Ozil used to help others win games, now he’s winning them by himself.
Have we really all see *this* Arsenal film before?
So, after losing 4-3 at home to Liverpool, did anyone predict that by the middle of October, Arsenal would have won nine games out of the next ten, and that Mesut Özil would have SIX times as many goals as he has assists in the Premier League and Champions League this season?
There are three things that always occur at this time of year in the world of football; International fixtures suck the life out of everyone, illuminous yellow balls are used in games for no good reason whatsoever, and reports start emanating from Barcelona that state that they’re interested in signing an Arsenal player.

Sometimes in football, radical change is needed to ensure that a team gets positive results. In other instances, the change needs to be rather more subtle in order to get the most out of a team.
Now that the chaos of the transfer window is behind us, and Arsenal have played a couple of games will all of our new players available for selection, what can we ascertain from both the starting XIs that were picked and how they were deployed tactically?
I’ve had the pleasure of being able to write for Daily Cannon since April 2011. Having an opinion is one thing, but being able to…
With the transfer window coming to a frenetic and frankly hilarious end, it’s time to assess how well Arsenal have done in regards to putting together a team that can win trophies, both in this season and in the future.
With only a few days remaining before the summer transfer window closes, Arsenal fans are racking their brains to try to figure out what the club’s plans are, or even if there are any at all.
