Hahaha. I thought the same thing when he lost all the life out of his face last year.

That near post run in front of the defender just now is the kind of movement we need out of him. Excellent chance just a little wide.

No doubt his game would shame me to pieces but that’s not the debate. You also seem to agree with me that he’s not the smartest player. Not saying he can’t improve but this last game I noticed a lack of movement that should be inherent in a top tier striker. Hope he can work through it.

Noticed the same thing yesterday. He’s either hiding, like you say, as a result of low confidence, or he’s not that intelligent as a result of playing against less athletic competition he can bully. I believe it’s the latter. Coaching can help but I don’t think he has the instincts at this point.

At any rate, Frank was the reason I dove head first into the world of Arsenal. The combination of following his progress and watching us play gorgeous football at Highbury, and it was over for this Midwest kid.
A nice reminder why I fell in love with the Arsenal. Merry Christmas Arseblog.

Frank was a good dude and quiet as a mouse - if you knew his older brother you’d understand why. Our club coach used to hold practice where Frank was the only player allowed to talk the entire session. 😂😂
Frank used to regularly nutmeg me - I knew it was coming but could never stop it. 😂

He had a great start at Wednesday, eventually getting a call up to the USMNT, where his aggressive attacking and tackling helped us win the Gold Cup in ‘07.
Unfortunately, his career was marred by injuries after that and could never quite make it back to the heights of that summer.

I was a teammate of Frankie’s prior to him signing for Arsenal at 16. He’s the reason I started following The Arsenal.
He did play in a League Cup match against Wolves I believe in ‘03. Sadly, that was his only appearance before moving on to Sheffield Wed.

I love every bit of that guy. Can’t wait to see it. Also, glad to see him getting recognized for his contribution after so much time on the sideline.

Does that mean we get a Ben White post game interview? Please post for those of us in America if so. 🙏🙏🙏

Every time I think he isn’t playing as well as he is capable of this year, he goes and puts one in. Need to start thinking that more often…

That’s what happens when you let him get away with every other serious foul and no yellow. We’re lucky if Merino’s leg isn’t broken.

NCAA College Football. Penn State’s James Franklin getting $49 million after getting the sack. Started 3-3 on the season but could never win the big game during his tenure. That’s eye watering money for being shit at your job.

Yes but needs to actually link up with his teammates with completed passes. Too many errant ones so far.

Yeah. Haven’t noticed a difference in quality so far. And those are big shoes to fill.

Changed before Wenger left after 2nd edition of Flamini cut the sleeves off before a game to which the kit manager took exception. Wenger didn’t want those kinds of distractions in the dressing room so they relaxed the tradition.
