I’ve seen plenty of talk in the media and online re Emerys time at Arsenal during the crunch run in then. It’s pretty foolish really. I mean just look at any other team he’s managed or even us last season. We picked up 17 points in our last 9 in fixtures that are similar in difficulty.
Forest (H) = Brentford (H) - 3
Newcastle (H) = Liverpool (H) - 3
Brentford (A) = Brighton (A) - 1
Fulham (H) = Bournemouth (H) - 3
Man Utd (A) = Arsenal (A) - 0
Wolves (A) = Wolves (H) - 0
Spurs (H) = Chelsea (H) - 3
Liverpool (A) = Man City (A) - 1
Brighton (H) = Palace (A) - 3
It’s likely that Chelsea’s game against Brighton will be moved to midweek so could work in our favour as it would be a few days before our game with them.
I've been geeking it up and looking at our rolling ppg average, both over the season and over a rolling 5 game period. We've maintained a ppg of over 1.9 since Palace at home. Even in our dips i.e. Man U at home and after today's game.
Importantly our subs for the 2nd away game in a row have made a massive difference. This bodes well for the run-in. Gives Diaby and Zaniolo some confidence. Ramsey hopefully back after the break too.
