Arsenal Match Centre Archives: 10/2016

Adama Traore broke the Premier League speed record on Saturday when he faced up to Arsenal at the Emirates.

The midfield configuration in Carlo Ancelotti’s great Milan side had the technical prowess and brains of Andrea Pirlo at the base, Gennaro Gattuso as the pitbull ballwinner slightly ahead of him, and then the creative spark of Kaka as its number 10. Arsenal have Francis Coquelin

Ainsley Maitlaind-Niles is set to start for Arsenal against Reading in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night according to Jeorge Bird.

Francis Coquelin gets a hard time from a lot of Arsenal supporters for not being good enough but for what he is employed to do, the Frenchman is pretty darn decent at it.

Mohammed Elneny used his first Premier League start since the opening day against Liverpool to outpass everybody else on the pitch, but there was a problem.

When you win and score six, it’s easy to think that everything is rosy and that decisions which were questioned before kickoff didn’t, ultimately matter.

If you asked anyone who is Arsenal’s best fullback, you’d unlikely find 100% of respondents tell you that it is Hector Bellerin and not Nacho Monreal.

Petr Čech admitted that Middlesbrough deserved a point during the hard-fought goalless draw at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon.

Kwame Ampadu’s side were comprehensively beaten 5-1 away at Reading, and finished the match with ten men after a late dismissal to compound their misery even further.

Laurent Koscielny was probably Arsenal’s best player against Middlesbrough.

Petr Cech was pretty much the main reason that Arsenal managed to escape our clash against Middlesbrough at the Emirates with a point.

Well that wasn’t fun at all, especially for Wenger’s birthday!

Mohamed Elneny and Francis Coquelin completed the most passes during Arsenal’s 0-0 draw against Middlesbrough but, even so, the Gunners missed Santi Cazorla and Granit Xhaka massively.

Leicester City have managed to climb to 12th in the Premier League table thanks to a 3-1 win at home to Crystal Palace.

Tottenham have dropped two more points after drawing 0-0 away to Bournemouth.

Drawing 0-0 at home to newly promoted Middlesborough probably wasn’t how Arsene Wenger wanted to spend his 67th birthday yet here we are.

Middlesbrough boss, Aitor Karanka, claims that his team won’t park the bus against Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday.

After a morale-boosting Champions League thrashing over Ludogorets in midweek, which was hard work irrespective of the scoreline, it’s back to the rigours of Premier League football once more.

Although there have been no further injuries or players to return for Arsenal’s clash with Middlesbrough, could Santi Cazorla still be rested?

Arsenal are currently flying high in all competitions while Middlesbrough only have six points in the Premier League but can the Smoggies use their decent form on the road to topple the Gunners?
