Emirates Cup: Arsenal vs Lyon, Sat. 25th July, 4:20pm BT Sports 1

[Pies]

Good result but Lyon were dreadful. Even by preseason standards.
Hopefully Wolfsburg provide some competition.

Yep. I hope so.

Can we have new match thread for that.

 

[Swallow]

You know when you see a young player and know they'll go on to be a world beater? That Jeff lad looks like our best youngster already, could be our Ronaldo lads.

His build is perfect, he has the touch, the pace, what doesn't he have?

Just ordering a shirt with his name and number on it now.

Whilst you are at it, don't let the armoury ******* forget the umlauts on the I. Lol

Mod edit : language kid .

 

[skillist]

s/o to anyone who wanted us to sign Lacazette.

Gervais knows.

Are people really writing Lacazette off after one pre season game in which his team got completely outplayed??? I mean Really??!

 

[samshere]

Fekir showed what he was about even in his limited touches, IMO. We must keep an eye on him..

Lets not underestimate what a scintillating performance it was by our standards.

Lyon weren't great but tbh, I think they were a beaten team after that 8 min, 4 goal salvo, that blew whatever fight they had, right out of them.

 

[SuperGoon]

[SuperGoon]

Thank ye, but seeing it in the moment is half the fun. Not knowing what's going to happen and being surprised is a highlight. I will still watch.

I also am working today so I miss the Wolfsburg match.

 

[Swallow]

Watch your language, dude.

Apologies bros, I did not mean mischief. I'm myself African. I was born of an Ivorian dad and a Ghanaian mum. So obviously I did not intend to offend anyone. Henceforth I will endeavour not to use such words. Thanks and once again I'm very sorry.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Didn't think Ox was good tbh, goal aside. Same issues as always for me.

Özil looks primed for a good season - so much better physically now compared to 2 years ago.

Such a startling difference in his body shape from when he came here.

Watched both games today, and managed to avoid Lyon result What a performance! Some people saying how bad Lyon were but we helped to make them look that bad. Lots of players were playing like we were well into the season already, so sharp and up for it. I'm not going to single out players as it was a great performance throughout.

The pressing high up the pitch was brilliant from us. Really shocked them out of their rhythm.

Yes, they couldn't handle us at all, and they are a good team! I have to say, with all the pace in our in attack it was nice to see Giroud so involved. He held the ball up really well for Ox and took his own goal well.
