Caraboa

Wish they could just scrape that cup once and for all.

by RealGunner Sat Jul 15, 2017 12:23 pm

Iwobi looking very good

by urbaNRoots Sat Jul 15, 2017 12:37 pm

Is Reiss Nelson playing?

by Jay29 Sat Jul 15, 2017 12:55 pm

Scrappy second half. Missed a bunch of chances towards the end. Nketiah hit the same post again Laughing

10 changes made after 60 minutes again like last time. Bramall and Malen the only two not to get on.

Off to China for the Bayern and Chelsea games.

Arsenal team to play Bayern Munich:

Cech; Bielik, Mertesacker, Monreal; Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Coquelin, Kolasinac; Ozil, Welbeck; Lacazette

Is it on arsenal player?

by Jay29 Wed Jul 19, 2017 11:44 am

Not this time, unfortunately. For some reason they couldn't show it. Probably because it's an International Champions Cup game so it's been purchased by some TV company.

Koscielny and Giroud are not in the squad at all today.

by Jay29 Wed Jul 19, 2017 12:13 pm

Mertesacker drops out because of illness. Elneny starts.

by Sri Wed Jul 19, 2017 12:24 pm

That backline ffs rofl

by Jay29 Wed Jul 19, 2017 1:23 pm

We're lucky not to be 4-0 down tbh Laughing

We've looked very leggy. Second to the ball all over the pitch. Nobody in defence is picking up any runs. Shit refereeing and Cech are the only reasons we're not losing by more.

Lacazette had a really good chance that he probably should have scored. Was a good save by Stark though.

Kolasinac went off before half-time. Probably injured or ill.

by urbaNRoots Wed Jul 19, 2017 1:31 pm

With the team that we fielded I'm not surprised by the performance, especially defensively.

This could turn into another 5-1 game if Bayern don't change their team soon.

by Jay29 Wed Jul 19, 2017 2:45 pm

The kids did well in the second half. Got through a lot of work, hung in there and scored late. Iwobi's playing very well in pre-season. Knows he has to fight for his place.

We won the penalty shootout. Martinez is better than Cech when it comes to saving pens.

by RealGunner Wed Jul 19, 2017 10:21 pm

Bielik

Niles got skinned hard though, like everytime Bayer players went down the flank, Niles was ready to overcommit.

by silver Thu Jul 20, 2017 9:53 am

How did we not lose 10-0?

by Jay29 Sat Jul 22, 2017 12:03 pm

Arsenal team to play Chelsea:

Ospina; Maitland-Niles, Mertesacker, Monreal; Chamberlain, Xhaka, Ramsey, Bramall; Ozil, Iwobi; Lacazette

Chelsea team:

Courtois; Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill; Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso; Pedro, Willian; Batshuayi

by RealGunner Sat Jul 22, 2017 12:11 pm

Is that 4-2-3-1

by Jay29 Sat Jul 22, 2017 12:22 pm

Probably a back three with Maitland-Niles as the RCB.

by urbaNRoots Sat Jul 22, 2017 12:23 pm

Decent team, excited about Özil-Lacazette-Iwobi front three.

by Jay29 Sat Jul 22, 2017 12:42 pm

The state of this pitch :facepalm:

by Jay29 Sat Jul 22, 2017 1:19 pm

Maitland-Niles has been shockingly bad on the ball. Half of Chelsea's chances have come from his sloppy passes.

Bramall isn't ready for this level, either. Moses has the beating of him easily.

We really have to tighten up at the back before the season starts. We're giving up way too many shots so far.

by urbaNRoots Sat Jul 22, 2017 1:34 pm

Our style of play is still messy, we just rely on individual quality to score a goal-- there's no strategy in creating chances, just pass it wide, bring it center, pass it wide again over and over again.
