Thanks for taking one for the team everyone who is watching. Let us know how bad it was. Agree that except for the centre backs it is not far off the team for Villa.
Arsenal's team: Leno, Cedric, Chambers, Mari, Tavares, Lokonga, Elneny, Nelson, Willian, Nketiah, Aubameyang
1-0 Ngakia loses the ball up near the Arsenal box (he didn't have a massive amount of options). Louza slowly tracks back to cover and then gets beaten far too easily by Nketiah who then finishes well. Bachmann had no chance.
Nketiah with the first goal, very nicely taken but came about from Ngakia being caught in possession up field and poor attempt at tracking back from Louza
I do wonder if he'd be more effective with a bit more space on the wing but unfortunately I don't think we're ever going to find out. He won't be here at the end of the window I don't think.
We look like a team that hasn't ever played together before... which of course we haven't, because we keep ******* around with different 11s and formations
None of them look ready to start in any position. Which is ghastly when you realise the vast majority of them will.
Zinc and Louza offering nothing in the middle. Etebo has been alright. Dennis, King and Sarr haven't been in the game at all
Like the look of Etebo, Louza you can see is talented but needs to do everything much quicker, Zinc just looks completely out of his depth
FFS Zinc scored haha Good sustained pressing high up the pitch from King and Louza leading to the chance
1-1 Zinckernagel after Arsenal mess it up passing it about the back. Good pressure from King and Louza
Pre-season means nothing. Remember we outplayed Spurs with lovely flowing attacking football and then once the season started it was painful defensive Ivicball.
Obviously we end up losing 4-1, but in this first 35 mins Arsenal have created nothing really against us (as have we)
Had forgotten how boring football is when the other team has better players than you. And this lot aren't even very good.
We've easily been the better team first half and should be ahead, can't wait to see how it all falls apart
Take back negativity... our first team actually playing bloody well here. Hopefully the 4-1 was once the kids were on!
PZ7 needs to be given a chance in position, but Sarr's giving nothing. I will pretend that this match didn't happen. How good is Louza actually doing? Were the goals only with the kids on?
