Angers SCO v Arsenal | July 31 | KO: 18:30 BST

[Wrighty4eva]

There's no link between the midfield and forward positions, no ideals.

 

[MutableEarth]

Too much hiding from our players. Too much sideways and backwards passing.

It's the way the team is structured tonight. I said it was a good lineup due to seeing so many you.gsters playing but in hindsight there are build up issues. 2 slow full backs and 2 fairly deep CMs and a striker playing #10. Build up very imbalanced. John-Jules may have to drop deeper to pick up possession.

 

[Wrighty4eva]

Nothing special about Medley as of now since he's been given chances in the first team.

He's just big

 

[Iceman10]

A run-out with a line-up of players not wholly used to playing with each other. The shape and connection between the lines in progressing the ball just isn't there. Angers are also good stretching us on their left flank (our right side).

 

[Wrighty4eva]

Unai "Mr pragmatic" Emery.

 

[Highbury_2006]

The real test will be against Barca. Dont really care about this game.

 

[truth_hurts]

Watching on Premier Sports. It's clear that we lack leadership on the pitch with this young team. Angers are on top.

 

[OnlyOne]

Monreal embarrassing himself out there lol.

 

[truth_hurts]

Nelson seems to be playing centrally today.

 

[MutableEarth]

This game needs Willock.

Nelson seems to be playing centrally today.

Coming inside a lot which is good and he should do it more. Problem is hes playing with Monreal who isn't overlapping quite so well.

Medley is not ready yet.

 

[PoleInGoal]

Burton playing like white Elneny

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

That's whyvyiu can't heavily depend on youngsters. Medley won't make it here so error-prone

 

[field442]

Have we got no defenders coming through the lower age groups? Medley looks slow as ****. Turning circle of a barge.

 

[Iceman10]

This game needs Willock.

Yep, connection from Douzi to the front has a piece missing in between. Maybe it is nerves with players wanting to prove themselves but the off-ball movement in general has been lacking so far.

 

[Wrighty4eva]

Monreal is finished, can't believe we have to rely on him for another season

 

[NieThePiet]

That's whyvyiu can't heavily depend on youngsters. Medley won't make it here so error-prone

he is 19, can we just relax?

A nearly U23 Team is playing against a League 1 one team, that some levels to high for them.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Matteo having poor game too unlike the lyon game where he was good

 

[berric]

I see fans are already turning on Medley after his first game as a CB in the preseason. Fans also want to promote youngsters? Very confusing.

 

[Aevi]

Nice attempt from Mustafi and Martinelli there.
