Emirates Cup 2022/2023

Points from the game:

First Half

Tribute to Reyes

Ø was captain but Xhaka was leading the team talk when they were in scrimmage

Omar Rekik's brother was playing in the Sevilla back lin

The front 3 rotate here and there (something I wanted them to do last season and I feel they should do more) For example, the 4th goal, Saka's second came from him interchanging with Martinelli, playing on the left when he pounced and scored.

Jesus likes to come deep and link up or goes wide, allowing Martinelli to take the forward position

The front 5 like to press the back line at times, then at times they sit back, something we saw a lot last season

Saliba is really solid, we really have a world class player in the making

Despite the score, we are getting muscled off the ball quite a bit

Second half:

We basically camped in the opposition half and played really comfortably. Couple of close calls and skewed shots, but Sevilla barely troubled us

Jesus got his 3rd goal after the keeper parried Gabriel's shot and Jesus hit in the rebound

Eddie got our 6th when Martinelli ran from the half way line with the opposition completely in our half and squared the ball for Eddie

Our substitutes came in late and did nothing of significance (except Eddie who was lively)

Sambi came on for barely 30 second before the game was done, he should have had come on a lot sooner

6 - 0 to Arsenal. Great day. Really looking forward to the season
