The defence looked shot form the game’s first minute. You could have felt more optimism for the team if they had finally succumbed to long periods of Manchester City possession. Pep Guardiola did this here for a time, before City came to know his ways.īut what the Spaniard witnessed yesterday was a defence lacking the most fundamental qualities of anticipation and speed of thought required of a side with top four aspirations. Emery gestures, exhorts, signals and generally micro-manages from the touchline in a way which suggests that the week’s training ground hours just are not enough. The inconvenient truth for Arsenal was that the Argentinian stood unchallenged in the six-yard box on each of the three times he scored. The arguments may run for a day or two about Sergio Aguero bringing a ball under control with his arm before sliding in his hat-trick goal but Unai Emery’s heart wasn’t really in the argument last night. Yet it was another deadening illustration of the distance this club must travel to get where they need to be. He warrants far more acclaim than he actually receives. Though he did not score, he did enough to demonstrate why he has become the fastest player in Arsenal history to reach 25 goals. The forward in question belongs in a team infinitely better than this one, yet somehow he delivers. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang collecting the ball, as if by osmosis, from Alexandre Lacazette’s boot and driving into Manchester City territory with it, 20 minutes in.Īubameyang rolling the ball under his studs ten minutes later to send Matteo Guendouzi bursting forth. With time, a lot of elbow grease, and much encouragement from the music community, both musicians and patrons, she decided to re-open the club so that the lovely historic space could be celebrated and to ensure that fans of jazz and acoustically eclectic music would be able to have a memorable listening experience in a unique and intimate atmosphere.There were brief and elusive moments when Arsenal’s football befitted a club of their stature, fan base and wealth. "You'll know what to do with it," he said, with confidence she wasn't sure she shared. When he passed away, he left the club to his daughter, Zarleen, who grew up in the jazz clubs and restaurants that Ed and others created. He created a jazz club so he would have a place to play, and often called it his "living room." It was always about the music, for him, though. Schwartz's Point began to gain notoriety and, eventually, Ed had to obtain a liquor license and go ligit. You had to know someone to attend the "private parties" that he hosted several days a week. When the club first began operations, it was run like a speak easy. He created the Point with the music in mind, assuring that the acoustics befit the engaging music he wrote and performed with his big band, the Society Jazz Orchestra. Other establishments included Love's Coffeehouse on Calhoun, The Golden Triangle on McMillan, Emanon Jazz Club on Jefferson, Mozart's Ristorante and more. The club was to mark the last chapter of the many establishments he materialized in his exceptionally productive life. It opened, legitimately in 2008, and closed several months prior to his death in 2016. Schwartz's Point Jazz Club was a heart's passion of Ed Moss, one of Cincinnati's premiere jazz pianists.
