& big moments wide forward for a 19yr old a definite or at least big enough improvement to the attack that felt like it most had room to improve as has long been the case? Were we better off signing nobody except 2 or 3 top class ceiling raising fowards?

Do you think it could be true that this is easily the deepest squad of talent we have ever had but not necessarily the best team we've ever had? From last season: is a non left footed LB helping us more? Is splitting Kim & Mariona's partnership an improvement? Is losing your best presser, creator...

You can argue Hanson of Spurs also with a left foot could contribute more for our team. Gaupset could solve at 10. Even Holdt potentially more productive. Real Madrid now have a frontline you could feel are more dangerous than Arsenal's Caicedo & Schrœder, with Navarro, Del Castillo & Keukelaar

in Freya, a somewhat comparable profile to Baum. I raise this alone because we tend to say "players weren't available" for some positions, but some were, whatever the money they may be being paid. We also lost out on Salma to Kang. But if that is the market, we have a choice. And we choose to not

Do you think it's possible LCL have a better attacking line than Arsenal, barring CF? They have running power & production out wide & experienced know-how at the highest level in multiple players & a 10 who walks into our team. Even a young, pacey fwd who can play both sides w/ good stature/size..

Arsenal Women fans coming to the game in Paris on Wednesday, please do come along to the pregame venue to enjoy a good time together in the build up before big support. Opening specially for Arsenal fans, with good food options available. Look forward to seeing everybody ❤️⚪

From the players, from Renée, it's hard to find the energy that suggests overcoming the moment But if we're 10 pts off the top going into the break, as well as 7 or 8 behind Spurs, LCL, Chelsea, or even 5 behind Liverpool, then we really do need to worry about our UWCL spot for this season already

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
I'll be honest, I don't feel like any signals are suggesting a way out of this for the coach and as much as I like and want our coach to do well, there's a level of confoundment that is increasingly hard to make excuses for. The washing machine is on and feels loud.

This AWFC Paris trip was already expensive enough but now I am going with no option but to devour all the pastries, fresh baguettes & treats I can for the greatest depression eat to date but I'll STILL rock up looking fabulous in a red bin bag outfit by Dior for Fashion Week 😌😞 Try stopping me ❤️⚪

For all the early season concerns with yet another slow start, I still have the belief in this team that they can win any game of football & achieve what we all want them to. A big week of games coming up to have us in the mix with confidence. Let's give them everything in the stands ❤️⚪

I didn't see the UWCL coverage I've seen so much criticism of but hopefully some good news for fans to actually give them what they want: As of next week I will be hosting a new UWCL show live from a Toby Carvery with the unsuspecting head chef, a pigmy goat & special guest Zendaya

We're back at one of our favourite pregame spots for our favourite Away Day this weekend - the Arsenal takeover of the Bridge 📢 Another massive energy day to make the difference for our guys, so come start it with everyone for a good time beforehand? Would love to see you there ❤️⚪

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
I did kind of see yesterday as just playing all the attackers who aren't the best at it to hopefully wear them down and bring on the more effective attackers late on. But I think her start to the season has been as poor as it could get so she ought to be 3rd choice for now
020
Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
... our hopes on a 22 & 19 year old to be the answer - which really should come with tempered expectations Our best 9 is as talented & great as any in the World, but not necessarily a "force" like the above few I kind of think we just haven't recruited an elite enough attacker to help it
120
Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
We can call our issues "tactical" but I'm also a little unsure (in totality). We currently have a lot of attackers who you could ask: what can we actually expect from them to break down such a block? And I'm not sure there is much more they can do. Then we have little choice but to pin...
120
Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Just my early season feelings: It's hard to break down low blocks. The ones who are most successful, to me, either have a relatively rare force of nature type (Shaw, even Hemp, Dumornay) or lifelong understanding via an engrained club philosophy (Barca). Most others it's a struggle...
110
Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
I assumed we wanted to wear them down and bring on the more likely to break through players later rather than the other way around. I think SB has unfortunately had just about the worst possible start to the season so really ought to be 3rd choice this weekend, imo

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
That's the kind of CF play from Cerci we need to see outside of Alessia providing it Alive to the situation, comfortable to take the ball on w/ composure & an idea. Saw the space to knock it by & went for it knowing a penalty was possible & leaned into it Du du du dudu du du 🎶

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
... But I'd still rather there first be long-overdue change at the top as to who oversees the women's team and someone who can help alter the culture and feeling and focus around the place, take away some comfortability, add some real (or at least new) drive and see that impact first.

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
I don't particularly see the issue as a Renée issue. I'm not sure the team are being coached out of games and that changing the coach will improve the frustrating areas enough. It feels more on the players, whether their technical, physical or psychological level, to me...

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Very often seemed to be our FBs ahead of the wingers. Not entirely sure where the general expectancy to notably better can be found but trying not to just let typical early season anxieties cloud me. See where we're at after City 🙏🏼

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
... I don't hold this as an absolute opinion. I like to always believe in our team and players. It's 3 games into a new season. But it's just kind of a logic thing. For me that was the biggest need to challenge & so far we're not showing we have. Massive 2 weeks ahead ❤️⚪

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
The concern I had over the summer was not clearly raising the ceiling of the frontline. If your Achilles heel is beating low blocks & want to beat them wide, I'm not sure you can expect things to improve enough if you generally have the same personnel who struggled with it....

We used to fill the Coronet on bigger matchdays and have a great time with the music playing but we lost a lot of that last season with the constant midday kickoffs. 5:30pm Sat k.o a great chance to have a great time once again. Keep building something together ❤️⚪

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Arsenal Women fans coming to the UTD game tomorrow: Would love to see us filling up The Coronet & creating a big energy for the game together before the game. Music, atmosphere, camaraderie... Big Saturday vibes to take into the ground 🕺🏻💃🏻 If you can make it, come along ❤️⚪

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
I was expecting her to be back before then. And I'd feel a loan makes sense. Just don't know so including her here.
100
Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
A reality for Arsenal Women that hit home on Sunday is just how many players won't make matchday squads this season and the tricky task of managing it all. With Katie Reid & Michelle to come back soon, at least 5 outfield players here won't suit up each week.
150
Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Yes, I have no say in it so it will be what it will be. Sabs I think got it in part because it sounded like "Saliba", and more difficulty for a chant with words to fit her name (+ it was early on in our collective efforts). Currently, as mentioned, people threw it as a placeholder for Misa.

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
I do tend to find the song a bit too long just to get to the punchline as it were so it's never my 1st choice for anyone. For some reason I prefer it for GKs & Defenders or where a name/player is harder to make an actual song to. And ideally surnames.
100
Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
No idea what will be. We were doing Lina's old one. But i think people want one with words. Fans sung Tequila for Misa on the weekend just as a way to give support, I'm not sure it will stick. Fans always ask for Livin on a Prayer to return so I just feel like this is the ideal name/player for it

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
"Livin on a Prayer" for Cerci? Ohhhhhhhh We're just not worthy Woooaaaahhhhhhh SELIIIIIINAAAAA CERRRRRCI Wears 29 She'll prob'ly score 30 Woooaaaahhhhhhh SELIIIIIINAAAAA CERRRRRCI ❤️⚪

Why is is so hard for UEFA & teams to confirm where a game is over days instead of having all their websites change every 12 hrs & all say a diff. thing? Since yesterday, UEFA site changed Arsenal Women vs Barca to Camp Nou Barca have since changed theirs to Johan Cruyff 🤷🏻‍♂️

After further investigation into the Arsenal Women vs Brighton game and whether Arsenal fielded 12 players with Lia Wälti secretly wearing an Arsenal kit the WSL have deemed it fair game as referee Kirsty Dowle was found to be wearing a Brighton kit under hers.

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Believe the WSL are also investigating the Arsenal Women vs Brighton game yesterday for potentially fielding 12 players for the majority of the game. Questions have been raised after Lia Wälti was found to be wearing the Arsenal kit underneath the entire time.

That's what I'm trying to understand. It's not my view on it. I see people saying things, and I don't quite have a judgement either way because I've only seen people saying things but not seen anything she's supposedly supported so I'm trying to grasp it a little better.

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Ha, I'm definitely happy to go back to Leuven with the Eurostar in mind vs flying but I'd equally be happy to have a break from it. Similar to Bayern & Lyon for me, probably the 2 I'd most like a break from. Really love Lisbon.

Joe Louis Monte @jolomoco.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Would be very happy with those. Häcken was really good last time, meeting up w/ Arsenal Göteborg at their great prematch spot so would enjoy going back there. Not been Geneva so that's on mine. Definitely happy to be back & spend time in Lisbon, Rome & Barca, esp the latter 2 as it's been 15+ years

I know it's only one game into the new Premier League season but on first showings I've been compelled to bet on Arsenal winning the league and Spurs getting relegated again. But this time with added United.
