Barcelona vs Arsenal | August 4th | KO: 19:00 BST | Joan Gamper Trophy

[Impact]

Small silver lining is that we played with perhaps our second choice defensive four and looked good but for Maitland-Niles' error and Mustafi being Mustafi.

Bellerin and Holding back in September and strong rumours linking us to another CB and LB as well. Team better drilled defensively too. We will improve this year.

 

[Ashybashy86]

Don't think it is fair to blame that one on Mustafi.

He looks right at Suarez, but hesitates. Probably couldn’t decide whether or not to try his offside trap nonsense again.

 

[FinnGooner]

Didn't see the game. How did Chambers look? Looking at the starting XI and the subs I get the feeling thag Chambers - Sokratis is our CB pairing until Holding is fit

 

[2Smokeyy]

Ceballos looked absolutely brilliant. I’d start him against Newcastle.

 

[Beksl]

Emery and his annoyingly pragmatic negative subs. Look forward to more of his weirdness during the regular season.

Negative subs? :rofl:

Gave everyone a run in, there was no tactical onus behind the subs.

 

[SingmeasongSong]

Ok guys, back off to the Tierney thread for an uplift, getting some more confidence from Sky sports

 

[Gunner D]

Mustafis a c*nt. 5 fcking mins he was on and he leaves Suarez free. He just watched Suarez run off him. Never hated a player more.

 

[EmeryCouldnt]

opefully this cameo from Mustafi will remove all doubt. Raul, swing that thing!

 

[bojed]

We should've swapped Sanchez with Dalot.

 

[Ricardinho]

Messi sharing a laugh with Suarez

“and then mustafi came on....."

 

[OnlyOne]

Chambers looked fine at CB as well.

Xhaka is my massive worry, he played some very good games last season but hasn't had 1 good preseason game.

 

[Makingtrax]

Everyone on here wants a CB, and Ornstein said the club is focused on bringing one in this week. What's the issue?

We don’t need one apparently a good winger will cut out those mistakes. Keep up.

 

[gunner4lyfe]

Either Mustafi decides to play offside on his own or Chambers keeps Suarez onside on his own.

Except the fullbacks were in line as well. Where the fvck was he going? Just keep the damn space tight. I hate him. Genuinely hate him.

 

[Sniper Mik]

If Maitland Niles wasn't a ***** this would have been a decent result. Can't have Bellerin back quick enough

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Emery wants to fix mustafi. Rofl.

Literally no one believes that except you.

 

[Ricardinho]

De Jong being awarded the trophy version of a school merit

 

[NieThePiet]

lol they are giving de jong the MVP just to hype their new signings. what a club..

 

[Iceman10]

He looks right at Suarez, but hesitates. Probably couldn’t decide whether or not to try his offside trap nonsense again.

Could be a camera angle thing. Appeared to me he was quite a distance away. It was more on Suarez having space against Chambers one-on-one as I saw it, but could be wrong.

 

[James Bond]

Who has the bi weekely “Mustafi on, Goal opposition” livefeed screencap?

 

[Camron]

"Be excited"

Still waiting.
