Have Arsenal Finally Solved Haunting Troubles?

Arsenal are unfortunately reminded frequently of their failure to grasp hold of a trophy for over seven years, with opposition fans often gleefully referring to the drought in debates with Arsenal supporters. A quick glance down the halls of the Emirates will be all the evidence required to confirm the disappointment of recent years, with the trophy cabinet untouched since the FA Cup victory against Manchester United in 2005.

A look beyond just the halls of the Emirates and deeper into the issue, and it is clear that one of the main reasons for this continuing struggle which leaves Arsenal fans crunching distastefully into the familiar bitter pill of failure is defensive inconsistencies and calamities.

Arsenal have conceded the most goals inside the top four of the Premier League in every single season  for the past six years. Over those six seasons, they have conceded a total of 236 goals - a stark contrast to the most successful team throughout those six years, Manchester United who conceded just 171. As a result, over those six seasons, Arsenal averaged a 'goals against' total of 39.5 in comparison to United's 28.5.

Three games into the new season however, and things look strikingly different. It may be early days in this season but Arsenal currently hold the honour of being the only professional side in English football yet to concede a goal. As we have been comparing Arsenal with United, it is only fair to mention that in those three opening games, United have conceded 5 goals with their defence looking very shaky in the absence of key defenders.

Could this very welcome show of defensive solidity be down to Steve Bould? The former Stoke and Arsenal defender was promoted from his position as Head Youth Team Coach at Arsenal to Arsene Wenger's assistant manager before the start of the season as a result of Pat Rice's retirement. Known for his "dominant, uncompromising performances" as a player in a career spanning 20 years, the hope had no doubt been that he could pass on his knowledge and know-how in defensive situations to the Arsenal players.

It seems to have worked so far with a defence which looks stronger and more resilient, and players who have someone to organise them and teach them what they need to know about the art of defending. Arsenal's young defender Carl Jenkinson noted Bould's positive impact after their first win of the season against Liverpool. He said:

"Steve [Bould] has come in and he's been there and done it. He's always there giving us advice and tips, and we've had a long pre-season to work together and get our shape right. If you look at our midfield, the midfield three, and the wingers, they were outstanding in their defensive duties. It wasn't just a back five, the whole team defended brilliantly and I think that's what's making the difference at the moment."

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, another Arsenal youngster, has also been impressed with Bould's work with the team: "Steve's come in and filled the spot really well. He's got respect from the lads as a good defender for Arsenal, and a good personality. He's stamped his mark on the whole team. At Arsenal we have a lot of the ball and we get carried away when teams sit in, and we are easily countered, but we've nailed that down this season. The flair play is in our DNA but Steve has come in and everybody's bought into it."

The Arsenal back-line experienced no personnel change over the summer, so clearly the opening three games' clean-sheets have been down to improved understanding of defensive duties - not just in the back line but the whole team.

If this form can be continued and the sides new attacking players can step up the goals in order to appease the departure of last seasons goal machine, Robin van Persie, Arsenal may finally be able to look at their trophy cabinet with pride once again thanks to crucial defensive discipline, understanding and balance.

Such a display will bring fond memories back to the 2003/04 season in which Arsenal were crowned not just Champions of England and not just the undefeated Champions, but undefeated Champions who conceded the least amount of goals out of every team in the League.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Live Stream Online 2 September 2012 EPL

On Sunday this weekend we will have two fallen giants of recent years in the league taking on each other as they will be looking to get their season off the hook and start winning some points. Both Arsenal and Liverpool have started the season poorely and they both have yet to register a win in the two league matches they have played so far. It will be interesting to see what kind of strategy Liverpool go with at home against Gunners.

Liverpool have loaned out Andy Carrol to West Ham United while they have brought in Sahin from Real Madrid to boost their Midfield but they suffer a blow when Lucas got injured and he will be missing for quite a while in the league games for Liverpool. Arsenal on the other hand have started the season with two draws so far and if they have not scored any goal they did not concede either.

Arsenal striker Podolski has looked a little rusty so far, but with the likesof Cazorla and Gervinho they will start to pickup points. Arsene wenger tried to secure a loan deal for Michael Essien of Chelsea but that did not go through.

Walcott rejects Arsenal Deal - Sale Imminent

Theo Walcott has rejected the offer of a new contract from Arsenal, leaving the London club open to the sale of the 23 year-old Englishman in the final few days of the summer transfer window.

Walcott and his representatives reportedly informed Arsenal over the week-end that he has declined the lucrative extension to his current Arsenal contract which expires next summer. Talks continued today, however the refusal to sign on with Arsenal immediately suggests a hesitation over his future with the club, with questions over the direction Wenger's side is heading.

The sales of Robin van Persie and Alex Song this summer and the previous bitter waves of goodbye afforded to Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri the previous summer have clearly left Walcott questioning the ambition of Wenger. The start to the season has done little to quell worries over significant departures from the team, with a goal in the League yet to be achieved by Arsenal's new look front line.

While Wenger has added to the squad with the signings of Lukas Podolski, Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla - all impressively talented players in their own right, costing the club almost £40 million - it is understandable for current players to feel worried about the future of their club, especially as top teams around them add to their squad without sacrificing their best players in order to do so.

Clubs interested in Walcott include Liverpool and Chelsea, with Arsenal hoping to bring in at least £15 million from the sale of the youngster who they purchased from Southampton in 2006 for a fee which eventually rose to £12 million.

Walcott has hit his best form so far with Arsenal over the past two years, reaching an all-time high of 13 assists last season, improving on the 11 he managed the season before. His contribution to the attacking force of Arsenal has been far more significant in recent years, showcasing the improvement in his football well, but inconsistency does remain a factor, with crosses still yet to be perfected and decision making still in question at times.

His pace however is his greatest feature, and it is something which has attracted some top clubs. Liverpool's spending is yet to be completed, with Brendan Rodgers insisting that more depth to his squad is required, whilst Manchester City may also hold and interest in Walcott as their deal to sign Swansea's Scott Sinclair stalls.

Wenger will hope that further discussion with Walcott persuades him to stay at the Emirates, as the French manager has described the winger as "very important" to his Arsenal side, but here lies the issue with letting the best players go - it sets an unwelcome precedent and gets other players thinking about their own future too.

Sahin, Tiote, Biglia & M'Vila to Revive Arsenal

The departure of Alex Song to Barcelona, Arsenal's best midfielder from last season who was voted second place by Arsenal fans in the clubs player of the season poll was somewhat unexpected, and the player will leave behind a highly influential 14 assists which he provided last term for Arsenal. Now Arsene Wenger must find a player to replace the Cameroon international, and there are a number of players on Wenger's radar.

The most likely addition to Arsenal's squad will be the loan signing of Real Madrid's Turkish midfielder, Nuri Sahin. Wenger is apparently close to completing the signing of the 23 year-old, whose current manager at Madrid, Jose Mourinho, has admitted that England is a good place for his player to gain certain skills that he will be unable to gain on the bench in Spain.

On Sahin, Mourinho said: "The Premier League is a good place for players to pick up certain characteristics which he does not have. It is all the same to me though which club he goes to. I just hope that it happens soon for him, as it is best for him. Liverpool, Arsenal or Spurs, I have no preference."

Sahin will be cover for Wilshere, who has been suffering from a recurrent ankle injury which has seen him miss a significant amount of games for Arsenal. While Sahin's signing may not be on a permanent basis, it will add quality support and strength in depth to the Arsenal midfield which has been torn apart in the previous summer windows with the sales of Fabregas, Nasri and now Song.

Further reports suggest that Newcastle's Ivorian midfield enforcer, Chiek Tiote is also wanted by Wenger, who admires the 26 year-old's work rate and strength in the midfield which he showcased last season for the Toon, gathering interest from the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea. The Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has himself admitted that he may be forced to sell some of his best players due to the impossibility of competeing in the market with the likes of United and City.

Pardew recently said: "I worry about losing all my players because we’re not Manchester United or Manchester City. We’re always vulnerable. I’m looking forward to September 1 now because by then we’ll all know where we are.”

However, Tiote's contract would prove difficult for Arsenal to buy out, with the midfielder signing a six year contract with Newcastle in early 2011, keeping him at the club until 2017. There are far easier, cheaper and more willing to leave options for Wenger to consider, such as the Anderlecht defensive midfielder from Argentina, Lucas Biglia.

Arsenal are in "pole position" to sign the 25 year-old who has repeatedly stated his desire to leave Anderlecht for a bigger club who are playing in Europe. He has said: "I can leave for €8million (£6.3million) in the current market. I agreed to this transfer fee myself. There are clubs ready to pay that amount but they are not better than Anderlecht so for now I focus on this club. I want to at least be playing in Europe."

Wenger has been watching Biglia for some time now, and it is believed that even if Arsenal do manage to complete the signing of Nuri Sahin, they will still attempt to bring Biglia to the Emirates as well in order to bolster midfield options.

One man who has also been tracked by Arsenal is Rennes' French midfielder Yann M'Vila. A deal has been rumoured since the beginning of the summer window after constant links in previous windows, and it is thought that the 21 year-old would be the ideal replacement for Alex Song, with the highly rated defensive midfielder considered very mature for his age and wanted by both Arsenal and Tottenham.

Rennes' club director Pierre Dreossi believes M'Vila will leave the French club soon, explaining that the £17 million rated players future "can be settled by the end of this week or the start of next." It is believed that a bid of around £16 million would see Rennes let their star man leave, so Arsenal's options are strong and plenty.

Sahin's signing seems a certainty, but it is whether or not any other midfielders will be added which is still in question considering Sahin would not be staying permanently and depth has often been an issue due to injuries at the London club. It is all down to Wenger.

Miyaichi Leaves Arsenal on Loan

Arsenal's 19 year-old Japanese winger Ryo Miyaichi has joined Wigan Athletic on a season long loan.

The promising young player has enjoyed loan spells with Dutch side Feyenoord and last season, Bolton Wanderers, since impressing Arsene Wenger in a trial for Arsenal in 2010.

He made 12 League appearances during his four months with with Bolton, being awarded the clubs February player of the month, scoring once and assisting 2 goals. Wigan are "delighted" at the signing according to their website, whilst Arsenal have wish Miyaichi the best of luck on theirs.

The teenage winger, who has been described as the "Japanese Messi" as well as being compared to the Brazilian great Ronaldinho, will hope to gain valuable first team experience at the DW Stadium where he will grow steadily into the pace and demands of Premier League football at a less intense and pressure fuelled club such as Wigan.

Competition for midfield places at Arsenal is tough and the loaning of Miyaichi is a positive one for all involved. Sitting on the bench behind the likes of Cazorla, Wilshere, Ramsey, Diaby, Song, Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain and gaining nothing would likely not benefit the gifted youngster build for his future in an Arsenal shirt.

"I'm so happy to be joining Arsenal"

Santi Cazorla has finally joined Arsenal and was at Arsenal's Training Ground, London Colney to complete his move from Spanish side Malaga in a deal believed to be worth around £15 million, signing a long term contract with the London side.

The 27 year-old winger posed in the new Arsenal kit and said "I'm so excited to be joining one of the greatest teams in Europe and also in the Premier League."

"I'm so happy to be joining Arsenal. This is a club with great players, a fantastic stadium and huge support. The club has one of the best managers in football and their style of play is recognised and admired all over the world."

"I will do my best to help Arsenal challenge for trophies and make all the supporters happy."

Arsene Wenger was delighted that he had finally captured Cazorla, whose previous team Malaga had failed to pay his wages due to serious financial problems: "He's a great signing who will add significant quality to us. He is a player with good experience at both club and international level."

The Arsenal manager continued: "He is a versatile, attacking midfield player who can play comfortably on either side of the pitch or centrally. He has good pace, is technically gifted and will be a huge asset to Arsenal Football Club. We are delighted that he is joining us."

Giroud and M'Vila Head to Arsenal

Arsenal's ambitions next season will be plain for all to see with news that Wenger is very close to agreeing to the signings of both Olivier Giroud and Yann M'Vila.

The double French swoop by Wenger signals to Arsenal fans and in particular, the club captain Robin van Persie who is still considering his future with the club, that a title fight next season will be a realistic ambition.

Added fire-power in Giroud who joins Lukas Podolski in Arsenal's attacking ranks, as well as an assured defensive midfielder to shield the back four in the very talented Yann M'Vila will further push Van Persie for a decision on his future this summer with clubs reportedly interested in persuading him away.

M'Vila's signing would go some way to address the issue of conceding goals, solidifying the shape of Arsenal with his strength in the tackle and fantastic work-rate. He would be the protector of the back-four which last season conceded the most goals inside the top four of the League (49), and can also contribute to attacks, with impressive vision to set up breaks.

As I have addressed in previous articles on M'Vila, the 21 year-old is very mature for his age, both on and off the field, and has received plaudits for his excellent footballing characteristics, with the former French national team manager Raymond Domenech noticing that "his choices, his positioning and his distribution belonged to someone much older, more experienced."

A number of clubs have been interested in his signature from across Europe, with Manchester United previously linked, as well as Real Madrid, AC Milan and Juventus. If Arsenal can complete this signing, it would be a sure sign of improvement and stability at the club.

Olivier Giroud will obviously add a different dimension to the Arsenal set-up. He is a 25 year-old striker who was prolific for Montpellier last season, scoring 25 goals as well as assisting 9, helping his side to win the League - something Arsenal will certainly hope he can emulate in England. It is thought he would cost £12.8 million due to a reported release clause in his contract, despite his club valuing him at £37.2 million more.

Montpellier manager Rene Girard has said that not only is the player keen to move to England, but Arsenal are leading the chase with Wenger negotiating with Montpellier's club president: "Arsenal are very interested and Giroud wants to play in England, if Arsene agrees with the president, he will sign for them."


The deal looks to be near enough done, and Arsenal fans can begin to consider a front three of Podolski, Giroud and Van Persie next season, as can the Premier League's opposition defenders. More goals scored and less conceded whilst winning games is the aim for Arsenal, and to win some silverware will most likely come along the way. Is it enough for van Persie though?

"My adventure with Arsenal is over"

Arsenal will bid farewell to the 27 year-old goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski this summer, with the Pole telling reporters in Poland that he hopes his career at Arsenal is coming to an end, with people working on his behalf to manoeuvre a departure.

Fabianski has been playing infrequently due to the establishment of Wojciech Szczesny as Arsenal's number one in goal, and has therefore been restricted to only six appearances during the 2011/12 season - none of which have come in the League. He said:

"I hope that my adventure with Arsenal is over. I told the boss my opinion, what are my goals, etc. He spoke too. At this moment I want to focus on Euro 2012, but the right people are already working on my departure."

The Arsenal number 2 joined the club in 2007 from Polish club Legia Warszawa, but has never been able to pin his name regularly on the team-sheet, having made various mistakes throughout his Arsenal career.

In five seasons playing for the North London club, Fabianski has played 62 games, keeping 18 clean sheets and conceding 67 goals.

A new start for a goalkeeper with a reputation in England for either injuries or unreliability would be a good career move, as he certainly will not be getting game time with Arsenal as long as the strong, reliable Szczesny remains fit.

M'Vila to Arsenal - "Not True" says Wenger

Reports that Arsenal are "seriously considering" a club record deal for Rennes' French midfielder Yann M'Vila are premature and untrue according to Arsenal's manager, Arsene Wenger.

Rumours have been growing that not only had Arsenal made signing the highly rated 21 year-old defensive-midfielder a priority, but that the player had told friends that he wants a move to Wenger's side even if they fail to qualify for the Champions League next season.

However, Wenger has countered this speculation by insisting that no such interest exists, no contact has been made and no player is close to signing for Arsenal at the present moment. He said:

''It is not true. There is not any interest at the moment." 

"We have not been in touch with anybody, we have not made any offer to anybody and we are nowhere near to buying anybody at the moment. We are focused on our final game of the season."

That final game of the season is away to West Brom, and a win must be achieved to secure third position in the League and therefore a Champions League spot next season.

Both Tottenham and Newcastle are close behind fighting for a third place finish, all well aware that because of Chelsea's chances of winning the Champions League trophy and therefore automatic qualification for next season, fourth place may not guarantee European football.

Arsenal have a full squad to choose from and their leading goal scorer who is the Premier League top scorer at the moment, Robin Van Persie with 27 goals to his name will be looking to add to his tally as Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is breathing down his neck for the top scorers with 26 already to his name.

Stoke City's early season form is long gone and although they are safe from the relegation troubles but they will be looking to keep themselves as up in the table as they can with just 3 games to play in the league now. If we look at the past 5 meetings between the two clubs we can see that their is nothing between the two sides as they ARsenal have won 3 and Stoke have won 2 in their last 5 games.

Beating Arsenal Was No "Accident"

For the second week in a row, a top four side has underestimated the challenge of Wigan Athletic, and been taken aback by the result of this miscalculation, losing the game and missing out on valuable points. The Latics on the other hand are now revelling in another win, this time against Arsenal at the Emirates, having seen off the Champions, Manchester United in their last "giant-killing" game.

Wigan began the game faster than Ashley Young goes down in the penalty area, and clearly caught Arsenal off-guard, with two goals inside the first eight minutes.

Former Chelsea striker Franco Di Santo opened the scoring, finishing an impressive counter-attack in which Arsenal's Mikel Arteta pulled up with an injury, and just a minute late, the lead was astonishingly doubled, thanks to a clever piece of skill from Victor Moses on the left, who then crossed it in for Jordi Gomez to bundle home.

The goals left Arsene Wenger raging on the touchline at his players, who had clearly not prepared for such a viscous, and purposeful attack from the relegation battlers.

Once Arsenal did finally awake from their slumber, a cross met the head of Thomas Vermaelen, who powered the ball into the back of the net which Wigan 'keeper Ali Al-Habsi had no chance in saving.

However, despite Arsenal pressure for the remainder of the first half, Al-Habsi was able to keep the home side at bay with a number of superb saves to keep the Latics leading.

Unfortunately for Arsenal, the second half was even less productive, and Wigan managed to resiliently hold out for the all important win, even having a few chances to extend their lead, and manager Roberto Martinez was understandably delighted.

"I'm so so satisfied because that wasn't an accident. In eight days, to have to play Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal is such a big task, but today the manner that we coped physically and tactically everyone at Wigan Athletic should be very proud."

"The manner that we played and obviously we were a little bit disappointed at half-time because we couldn't keep the ball well enough. I thought we had to defend well on the counter-attack we were a real threat but we can play a lot better than that."

"But in the second half, to have that mentality of know-how in such a young group, to understand what's needed in different phases. We got one-on-ones with the keeper, we had another chance and we coped with an outstanding footballing side and that is the truth."

The win for Wigan pulls them five points clear of the drop-zone in 16th place, and seemed to have picked up form at a crucial stage of their season, whilst Arsenal remain in third place, but failed to extend their lead on Tottenham and Newcastle, who are both five points away with a game in hand.

Impressive Arteta Crucial to Arsenal

Mikel Arteta's winning goal on Sunday against Manchester City caused an eruption of joy among Arsenal fans inside the Emirates Stadium.

His strike came in the dying moments of a hotly contested game in which Arsenal dominated and deserved the win, and according to Thomas Vermaelen, the acclaim for Arteta's goal was very much deserved, having been a crucial figure in the Arsenal team all season. Vermaelen said:

"He has been really important for us. He is not only important on the pitch but off the pitch as well. He talks a lot, he's an experienced player."

"He is really important in midfield because often you win and lose games in midfield."

The Spanish midfielder joined Arsenal in the summer from Everton where he spent seven seasons, gathering experience and developing his game from a more defensive midfielder to a more attack minded, creative player with the valuable ability of being able to pick out the killer pass and execute it accurately.

Arsenal have thus benefited from his incisiveness this season, especially as the campaign has progressed and the 30 year-old has settled in at the Emirates. He has clearly been very well received by his fellow team mates whom, thanks to Vermaelen's insight, regard him as a crucial component of the Arsenal team, and indeed the majority of fans too share this view.

Arteta replaces Arsenal's former number "8", Samir Nasri, who left the club to join Manchester City last summer, and who has since become incredibly unpopular among Arsenal supporters, betrayed by his lack of loyalty. However, having received over £20 million for Nasri and spent far less on Arteta, who has formed a pivotal role at the club, it seems the success story is all Arsenal's.
