Paul Merson verdict on Newcastle United misses the target…The former Middlesbrough and Walsall player giving his verdict on what will happen at Dean Court on Saturday.
Thirty years ago, the Gooners did indeed love singing ‘One nil to the Arsenal’ as their team eked out their latest victory.Indeed, in 21 Premier League matches, Eddie Howe’s side have only won 1-0 on three occasions. There is also a major difference in the fact that that Arsenal team of old would more look to get a 1-0 lead and sit on it, a bit like Mourinho with his trophy winning Chelsea side.
With the likes of Gordon and a fully fit ASM and Isak now also available to Eddie Howe, there is every chance surely of getting the goals flowing a bit more freely once again, despite the absence of Bruno in these next two Premier League matches.
