Arsenal were fortunate in more than one way win at home against Luton Town. Arteta took advantage of the matchup quality and rested key players with will certainly help down the stretch and give other players like Partey and Emile match fitness. 

It would be easy to call it a game of two-halves. But it's impossible not to preface with rustiness on these players that started. What was more important was the test in a real game scenario also giving more consideration to the ones that separated from the bunch like Emile - for one.

On this pod, I shared how the first how looked and a different perspective in the second. At times, boring is good. My expectations can deal with it as long as the end goal is still meet. There was enough to highlight top 3 performers. Thankfully I didn't quite see a concern from an odd 1. The defense is really a huge credit to this team.

Another top class performance by Arsenal at Bramall Lane. Sheffield United couldn't contain nor deal with Arsenal's ruthless display on this Monday night game. The goals from 5 different Arsenal players could be anyone's choice of their best. If you would ask me, I think the message to the Arsenal players was to respect Sheffield; despite their league standings. And they did just that, taking every ounce of consciousness to avoid any surprise - including a clean sheet.

In this pod, I talked about the style of play and intrinsic gameplay dynamics by Arsenal. I could see a lot of intelligence, poise and fire from the attackers. The standards have gone way up; 2 or more goal is the expectations and it is not luck. You may argue against my top 3 players and could be right. But I can't listen for any odd 1 from Arsenal in this game. Please listen, share and subscribe. Many more interesting games ahead. More drama coming up next. Good Vibes only! This is Arsenal!

Arsenal impressive 4-1 victory over Newcastle United was evident from the start. Despite the lone response from Newcastle, the Gunners showcased their superiority throughout the match - at the emirates. This win highlights Arsenal's potential as they continue to answer from a setback and the confidence towards the goal in mind.

Arsenal's return to champions league knockout round of 16 left us with our teeth kicked in following 1-nil loss. It was a sloppy game in all elements representing our identity on the pitch. Could have been a plan to neutralize Arsenal; it worked. Oddly hard to cry foul when part of the plan is to frustrate Arsenal player and gameplan. While experience in European competition often wins, which is what the gunner squad is carries, that can be in our favor if we apply ourselves aptly.

There wasn't much exciting highlights, but Arsenal showed grit to endure an overbearing Porto. Give the squad and missing players, I think we did well enough in terms of match up. Not the best commendation pod for Arsenal in this game. There were direct cause and effect from the defensive challenge we face. I threw all my chips in what our response will be in the second leg. There is a silver lining. For now, we had back to handle other heavy business at home. Onwards and upwards. Listen, share and subscribe. We are Arsenal!

The Gunners laid their tactical imprint on Burnley. It was too much for this relegation-battled time to hold up the attacking force Arsenal brought to Turf Moor. Burnley tried to put up a fight. But the 5-nil victory for Arsenal was certainly one for the history books in club and league history. While the scoresheet may seem like a similar dominance by Arsenal, a lot of credit goes to the critical decisions by certain players that brought the home team to its knees. In addition to the win, having some injured players back in the squad was a needed welcome for depth.

There is more to this team and we are seeing how special this team is and the expectations they carry. I spoke about this on this byte-size episode and pick out my stand-out performers; especially one that isn't filling up the stat sheet, yet crucial. Each week the stakes get higher and more than ever, the belief grows stronger. It is essence of this season and a clear reference to that are the fringe players fighting for a place as a starter. Listen to my interesting take on the game and share with a friend and subscribe. Only way is up! C'mon you Gunners!

If I told you Arsenal would take West Ham to the slaughter house in their own ground, how would you imagine it happened? Well, Arsenal blew out West Ham in a 6-nil victory. I don't remember such domination that included goal-scoring heroes from both  center-backs. It was a scoring party that was spectacular and unbelievable. Arsenal played with such dominance that looked deceiving - not in the element of surprise. But dismantling of game tactics. 

In this episode, there was so much positive to talk about in the game. Some other observations; including an Arsenal Academy player feature, was a true reflection of how Arsenal and Arteta put on a master class. While missing key senior Arsenal members, Trossard and Kiwior were up to the task in maintaining the expected level of quality that represented Arsenal's imprint in the game. This was another game thoroughly enjoy by the fans and players. Another outstanding performance to carry on through the heavy list of upcoming opponents. Onwards and upwards.
