Re: Emirates Cup: Arsenal v Juventus | 02-08-08 16:15
I'm surprised by all the negativity I'm reading. We were far better than Juve and they "scored" from an obviously illegal goal.
Good things to take out of game:
1) Sagna is just a phenomenal footballer!
2) Gibbs was excellent defensively and could possibly provide some depth at LB. I was quite surprised.
3) Denilson finally played well. Maybe he is getting back to form.
4) Diaby looked like he could possibly play some DM. I thought his defensive anticipation was pretty good.
5) Vela consistently shows he is going to contribute quite a bit this year.
6) I thought that all three CBs played well. Both Djourou and Senderos were solid. Once Song returns, we might be fine with our depth at CB.
7) Ade wasn't sharp, but you can tell there is a difference when he is in there. His physical presence always gives us an outlet.
8) Our youngsters can compete with Juve's experienced international starters.
