Western Sydney Wanderers vs Arsenal |15.7.17 |11.00 BST

[Rimaal]

We have plenty of games including the Charity Shield. Lots of time to train and watch dvd's of team mates too. I kind of trust Özil tbh. If he wants to fully conquer his doubters, this quiet efficiency and taking charge as he did today is a good start. Roll on next week. The squad depth, apart from CM is good when you look at the players yet to return.

I consider next week's matches quite consequential, in terms of morale. I would not want humiliations gainst neither Bayern nor Chelsea. Would have like to have seen a starting 11 for those matches play today.

As it is, I've no idea how we'll line up or perform.

This will never cease to be funny.

I don't want us to be humiliated either. I feel the first two matches were about fitness and touch. It's going to be about execution of tactics from here going forward. Most players have done well individually and the coaches have to put it all together now. We don't know what we will get but now is the time to try variety within our system. I want us to do well but I also want a couple more signings especially in MF. This is a time of revelation-we'll find out if we're as good/bad as we think.

This is such rubbish. Walcott with a lower rating than Welbeck. Literally no one saw Welbeck today. He didn't even fall over like a young calf.

And AMN wiht a higher rating than Ox. AMN was literally cack.

 

[Rimaal]

And he was useless there too. His best position for Egypt, as one can see from the final against Cameroon, was in MF. Still not Arsenal level, though.

 

[WizardOfAus]

Went to the game. First ever arsenal experience. It was phenomenal to see all these players live. I wake up between 2am and 5am during EPL for every game and seeing this live was amazing. I got emotional when they came around to thank all the fans.. so basically, im moving to london

Yeah, it needs some re-evaluation. Ainsley couldn't hit a wall if he was surrounded by them today.

None of these friendlies mean anything result wise. I've never seen a team benefit from winning pre season games or suffer from losing them, it's all a bit of fitness and a lot of money.

Yeah exactly. Didn't a Moyes United team beat Real Madrid in a preseason game few years ago? Or was that Louis?

Sound like a Rugby team name not a football club name

 

[AL the gooner]

And to be fair, we usually win every pre season game we play, then lose our opening league game and look completely unprepared.
Let's hope this time it's different.

People are really impressed by dribbling.

Willock was good.

mainly because we don't have anyone in the first team that

Ox is a terrifc dribbler. Iwobi as well

 

[Makingtrax]

Missed the game, too busy. Thought I'd scan through a few pages of this thread to see what happened.

Could have learnt more from an Alzheimer sufferer mumbling on a park bench.

true but other than them 2 we don't have many others, sanchez has a weird style of dribbling and Özil barely makes a dribble these days
