Cicero Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 We face Perth monday. Travelling all the way to Australia for one game is a bit odd. However, I wouldn't mind a loss given I want Sarri to see the problems in the squad straight away. Going to be interesting to see his plans on the likes of Drinkwater, Bakayoko, and Barkley.

To Perth too rather than Sydney or Melbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted July 26, 2018 Administrator Share Posted July 26, 2018 Watching Atletico vs Arsenal (in Singapore obvs) Smith-Rowe has just scored a brilliant goal. Took on a couple of players and hits a shot from just outside the box. Maybe one for the future?! @Chaaay AFC @6666 @Panna King @Gunnersauraus @...Dan @SirBalon maybe you know about him already?

To be honest I haven’t seen anything of him because tv coverage in the UK with youth players isn’t easy to get and whereas years ago I used to actually go and watch some Arsenal youth games, nowadays it’s impossible for me. But I have heard speak about him and read an article or two in local newspapers. He is supposed to be promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't really been mentioned since this pre-season. Was recommended by those that deal with the youth to be taken on the tour. Seems like a tidy midfielder. Similar to Reiss Nelson being involved last pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started to hear some rave reviews of him towards the end if last season, he scored some belters for the u-23s etc. Have to wait and see though, Nelson and Nketiah look promising but it is so hard to know if youngsters can truly make the step up, especially at this level.

Panna King Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Sokratis is so slow, not looking like a good signing, his pace will be a a massive liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are too many gaps between the three lines on the pitch which is exposing physical attributes or deficiencies in regards to each player. Emery has to get those lines closed in because this isn't PSG who had pace to burn and would make opponents fall back. Sokratis is a quality defender but by exposing him he will suffer and he's not the only one. Torreira for example is used to playing in compact midfields near the back line.

Well Arsenal have been exposed at the back for a number of years for this reason. Sokratis will be judged of course during the season but from what I have seen of him even against Boreham Wood, He doesnt look an improvement. Klosanic is another, just a weightlifter trying to play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted July 28, 2018 Administrator Share Posted July 28, 2018 Rob Holding just scored a header from just inside the penalty area. Decent header. 4-1 to Arsenal. Meanwhile we're losing 2-0 against Udinese. Lasagna scored their first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted July 28, 2018 Administrator Share Posted July 28, 2018 5-1 to Arsenal. Camera pans to some fans. There's a woman with a Barcelona top on cheering the goal. Obviously. And then a couple of other fans have PSG tops on holding Arsenal tops up like they're celebrating. Fucking weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what else you expect. Seeing "marquee" matches and giving casual fans a chance to come and see games under the guise of an impressive sounding competition title is the whole point of pre season for the top clubs these days.

Bluewolf Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 1-0 up against Inter... Pedro Nice bit of play from Morata to keep the ball going when it looked lost, Morata has also netted but called for offside.. Good positive start from us.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
