This week’s column is about Declan Rice and, not for the first time, he is being asked to do something quite different this season and, not for the first time, he’s doing it really well. His capacity for learning and application is significant 👇🏻🔴⚪️ arseblog.com/2026/10/declan-…

Is it just me, or too many of the game and tactical analysis pieces that people write on here are way too fucking long and way too fucking boring?

Egypt's disallowed goal was completely against how this tournament has been refereed. You can't have a light touch where you don't give fouls for minimal contact and then rule out a goal through VAR for a very minimal hold of the shirt. #ARGEGY

“Menotti’s legacy is understanding the midfield not as a place of transit but as where a team is defined.” — Matías Manna Great Interview - contemporary football has become standardised and predictable, everyone imitating the same two or three coaches, and the antidote is rooted identity. For Argentina, that means la nuestra: short passing, creativity, relational play. Not copying Europe: tiempoar.com.ar/ta_article/m…

On Viktor Gyokeres. Maybe the service needs work but Arsenal have attempted the most through-balls in the Premier League this season. Gyokeres has a higher percentage of runs targeted by passes than Erling Haaland. He needs to do more too. #afc skysports.com/football/news/…

Arsenal’s number-9 hunt wasn’t just about a 9 It was mostly about different attacking options coming from all angles, as Arteta specifically sought to address last season’s issues Signing Gyokeres also shows Berta’s new influence in the club independent.co.uk/sport/foot…

SCOUTING VIKTOR GYÖKERES In my huge striker report from a month ago, I included a profile on the battering ram: nuance, details, strengths, questions ("The Pinnock Test"), ranks, stats, more. In the replies, I link directly to that section.

Cristhian Mosquera. More minutes played in last two seasons than any other U21 player in Europe's major leagues. Some areas for improvement but reliability, robustness and great potential. Piece here including insight on his development at Valencia. #afc skysports.com/football/news/…
