Time for week 2.

5.30pm Arsenal v Leeds United

If the Gunners like they should play the same way they did at Man UTD and expect it to work with these Leeds. I watched how the newly promoted side literally dominate the whole game from the first half till the end of the game so if Arsenal want to win in a convincing way, they'd need to do something better than how they played against Man UTD else I won't be surprised if they'd beginning their first home game football with a loss. If anything Leeds don't look like they want to sit and expect things to fall on their laps, they rather work for it and I'd admit that the way they played in their first game quite surprised me and I hope it continues.

No, I think that Mikel arteta is just being pragmatic towards games, and I expected them to approach this game against Leeds united differently, though many arsenal fans out their are not used to their team being pragmatic towards games, but this is the new reality they really have to get used to because their is a mounting pressure on Mikel arteta to win something big this season, he has finally realized that sometimes you have to lose a battle in other to win a war, and that was what happened against Manchester united. They surrendered ball possession just to hit Manchester united on the break, even though the game was very difficult, but at least they won the war/three points which was the most important thing, so I am expecting them to seize the initiative this time around against Leeds united because they are at home and Leeds is an inferior opposition, but am sure that it's going to be a fascinating contest between them.
