I like Vela... very much

I'm loving the options we have in attack, when Edu comes back we'll be set; all that's left is to bodge that defense, too bad we won't do it...

love the attempted turn by wilshere with the backheel up the line. too bad it went out...

Bar the Hoytes, Randall and Lansbury, everybody else in the 2nd half should be our 1st team next season.

3-1 FT.

It's such a shame that Wenger refuses to improve the defense. We look sorted up on attack, and if we could only get a better CB pairing, we can easily challenge for the EPL and CL.

Very impresive from the team tonight in most areas defensivly we are nowhere near the level we need, but we are playing free flowing attacking football & possesion football with such a young squad, makes you wonder what this season holds for us.

One new DM and CB and I am a very happy man

Wilshere reminds me of Messi, small quick touches and acceleration. Left footed and a midget too.
Great comeback, and nice goals too.
Still worried about certain positions though.
Nasri didn't look too bad either!

Re: VfB Stuttgart v Arsenal | 30-07-08 19:15

Out attack looks ok .. but seriously the centre of defense looks really dodgy. We need some serious work in that department because it seems whoever plays there doesnt have a clue when it comes to long diagonal balls over the top , no matter the combination we use in there.

Re: VfB Stuttgart v Arsenal | 30-07-08 19:15

Vela, Bendtner, Wilshere and Ramsey should be lurking around the first team positions. If Ade, Robin, Theo or whoever is going to play in cm, aren't doing that good, they're more than decent backup.

CB is a worrying position, and to some extent, CM as well.

True, true, true
I'm starting to see things the "biggus way" with every passing day.

Re: VfB Stuttgart v Arsenal | 30-07-08 19:15

We have Toure and Cesc to come back yet

 

[raidersoftheark]

Re: VfB Stuttgart v Arsenal | 30-07-08 19:15

We have Touré and Cesc to come back yet

Only one of which will make any sort of impact.

 

[dutchMasta]

Re: VfB Stuttgart v Arsenal | 30-07-08 19:15

And Song and Rosicky....we still need to boost our defense though. Tbh, we were lucky not to get scored on more thanks to bad decisions from the linesman, twice! Though we also had one, but Ade missed.

What this game did show is how important getting a few preseason games is. The lads who returned for their first game didnt look very sharp and a bit sluggish but the lads that came on looked sharp and exciting. (...except the hoyte brothers...)

Randall and Simpson havnt done much to impress though.
