There has hardly been two games in row this season when we have seen the same Arsenal starting XI (has there been any?) as the new boss has been tinkering with his different formations and personnel for each and every game. Now that it looks like the players have started to understand Emery’s instructions and are actually putting them into place, he has finally given his reasons for his continual changes.

When will Emery realise Arsenal don’t have the players to suit his tactics?
What style of play are we exercising under Unai Emery? by Eddie Hoyte
Happy New year folks, this will be my first article this year 2019, and I’ve been thinking about doing it for a while now but I had to make sure I get every bit of my facts and research right first.
The best Arsenal formation to free our in-form players to terrorize defences
TIME TO FREE THE LAC(OZI)AUBA by Nicholas O
Lacazette and Aubameyang playing together in a system that complements them and have them both in the attacking duo role would be mouthwatering. We have seen potential that this can do.

Arsenal don’t HAVE to play from the back – but it’s the best way to keep control?
We all saw Arsenal trying to put Unai Emery’s tactics into force last week by trying to retain possession against one of the best teams in Europe last week. The Spaniard has been concentrating on playing out from the back when in possession and playing the pressing game when we lose the ball.

HERE IS HOW UNAI MIGHT WIN THE LEAGUE! by Nicholas Oyoo
Arsenal can surprise the division this season if certain things are put together very quickly before the first two matches, against two of our biggest rivals. These games may go a long way to confirm or approve Arsenal’s new set up and the challenge for top honours. Many people are saying it will need a bit of some time for Arsenal to build a challenge.
