one nil

A few years ago arsenal,managed by george graham had a great habit of winning games one-nil,thus bringing out the chorus from the fans..one nil to the arse-nil,since we seem to be winning all our games one-nil,just wondering should we start a similar chant from the stand.

This is a really important difference between this year and last. We drew 6 games at home last season - all 1-1. In many cases a sloppy goal conceded meant dropped points. This season we seem to able to protect a lead - perhaps down to the new recruits at the back?

It's because we're playing more football and thus stretching teams. Last year we were route one and nothing else. We were clueless when looking for a plan B. We were giving the ball away too much and too easily and that was the route of the problem as we were inviting teams on us. We conceded very sloppy goals on the break and from set-pieces, but especially from the former. This season because we're playing better football and using our wide players, we're giving the opposition a lot more to think about, rather than just hoofing it back to them. The next stage going forward is to start scoring more goals, or we could slip back to drawing games again. The next weeks are crucial.

That said it helps when most of the back four are 6ft+. Don't like the look of Anthony Wolfe at centre half though. He was destroyed in the air against Dundalk and just doesn't look the business. He reminds me of Phil Babb. You could be just about to praise him when.......Oops.....
