Let’s enjoy 5th place, because it doesn’t get any easier from here

For a game Arsenal dominated from whistle to whistle on Sunday, it was still a nail biter to watch. I guess my fear the old Arsenal rising from the ashes like Phoenix would emerge and we and would find some way to either draw or lose the match and the points. Maybe it’s time I get over that phobia and move on. Is it time to trust this Arsenal team and realize they will fight until the bitter end no matter how good or how bad they have played during the match. Yes, I think it is time to put those demons away.

Okay, our unbeaten streak stands at ten as we move into yet another international break. Even better than ten straight unbeaten is the fact the Gunners are now in 5th place in the Premier League after eleven matches. But, do you what is even more special than that? Arsenal is ahead of both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, who are 6th and 9th, respectively.

It’s amazing how remaining going unbeaten in eight straight league games can propel your club up the table. After lingering in mid-table for a lot of weeks, Mikel Arteta and his squad have done a great job keeping the faith, working hard and learning to trust the system.

Now, let’s take a look at the Arsenal fixture list for the remainder of the 2021 calendar year. Nothing gets easier, that’s for sure, however, this will be the stretch of matches where we need to keep our faith in Arteta, Ramsdale, Smith Rowe, Aubameyang, Saka and the entire squad knowing they can deliver what we know they can deliver, and that’s wins and points!

I’d rather not come off a two week international break and face Liverpool on the road, however, if we are going to be a top 4 club again, these are the matches we need to be ready to play!

Sunday was a battle. It was physical and exhausting. I was proud of the Arsenal team for getting their much deserved goal, and then hanging tough until the end against a very determined Watford side.

Congratulations to Arteta and the team, and let’s hope our international players return to north London fit, ready and excited to play Liverpool on November 20th.

Cheers.

  1. Hate the two week breaks. No getting up at 1 2 3 or 4am. Bugger. The break however will give players chance to get fit and loose so they jump out of the stalls to hit the scowsers.

    Hopefully our international players come through injury free and fightin fit.
