If the kids come on at half time and are the ones who got battered then this is actually pretty encouraging. We're super mobile and pressing them all over the place. Ngakia the only real disappointment.
I like Ngakia but a poor half from him Arguably none of these 4 should be in our starting defence Rest of them have been a mixture of ok and good, Etebo the stand out, King a little disappointing in terms of lack of involvement. Louza growing into it but dont think we can get away with playing both him and Zinc centrally in the Prem
HT 1-1 Decent half in fairness. Few bright moments from Louza but also a lot of poor moments from him. PZ tried very hard but wasn't very good. Etebo looks good though. Sarr and King pretty poor, Dennis looked encouraging. Masina, Cathcart and Bachmann didn't have much to do. Kabasele was pretty good. I thought Ngakia struggled at times. Best players: Etebo, Dennis, Kabasele Worst players: Ngakia, Sarr, PZ
Yep liked the look of Dennis. If we can get Yokuslu, Thorsby, Lookman and a CB we'd stay up comfortably. That's quite a big if though.
Annoying that Arsenal are making us sit through an actual half time despite the game finishing ages ago so they could easily skip it!
Nice to see us playing through the lines more and very few long balls which is what we've seen in Stevenage and WBA friendlies. Like a most, Etebo has looked very decent, solid defensively and positive with his passing....and was it his long shot that just went wide or Dennis ? Louza, goo din the press but sloppy in possession, but early days for him. From his YT vidz he looks like he has good technique so not too worried about that. Zinc can pick a good pass and has the ability to execute that, but his close technique doesnt look good enough for the EPL.
Zinc won't play centrally. Cathcart, Ngakia and probably Kaba won't play. Louza will need a game or two to grow into English football.
First 30mins was all arsenal. Last 10-15 was mostly al us. Could have easily gone in 2-1 up. Sarr hit a great shot from a corner that was going in and Masina blocked it 4 yards out. Louza, very suspect. Not bad touches, but falls for every dummy, and weak in the tackle. His tracking back for their goal was woeful. PZ7 scored our goal after some great work and pressing by Louza, Dennis, King, and Sarr. Etebo and Dennis for me were the stand out players in that half. Dennis is very quick.
Yeah but their footage on their website can't be fast-forwarded so anyone watching had to watch a full half-time as opposed to the second half starting straight after the first on the video
2nd half (will update as I figure it out) Bachmann Ngakia Kabasele Cathcart Masina Louza Etebo Gosling Sarr Fletcher ???
Arsenal much stronger at the start of the second half, dominating us down our left side in particular
Apparently we lose/lost 4-1 But then again if a tree falls in a forest and no one sees it, does it really fall, or something...
Is there another way to watch other than signing up for Ar$enal? Was using a stream, but it got taken down.
