We have to Plato his strengths though.

Amazing how much pushing,blocking and shoving Arsenal get away with on set pieces

Enjoying this:

 

Players looking really fit and well dialed in to the new system.

 

Great team goal, finished by Mo.

 

Jota hits post, should score.

 

Quansah is a gem.

 

Very interesting corner technique, 8 players charging in from the far post. Never seen that before.

 

Gomez and Konate, playing it out from the back? Can't wait to see that.

 

Really interesting corner routine, hope we see more of that this season. 

 

Jota with a touch of the Nunez's here tonight, post now another big chance missed.

Jota has been good but he looks fucked. Great shift from him. Both teams look well off it, as to be expected.

5 minutes injury time? Fucking preseason friendly for fuck sake

Elliott looks like Messi sometimes when he carries the ball. It's so stuck to his foot It's uncanny.

Is he bollocks.  He’s played well.

[Lee909]

Not a bad half at all

 

We really do need to make sure we have a reliable scorer to take the pressure off Mo.

It was swell when he ran away from the guy with the ball 7 yards away from goal.

[stringvest]

Harvey’s lack of pace betraying him again, but other than that he’s played well.

He's played well but he was responsible for their goal.

[Red Phoenix]

Harvey almost had a hattrick of assists back there, really liked what he did for Carvalho's goal too and happy for Carvalho. Still hoping he has a chance of making it with us eventually even if it might not seem that likely.

Yep.  He’s also got us out of trouble on more than one occasion, and played some pretty good forward passes too.

Was Endo great as well? @stringvest

To be fair to him he had two unmarked players in front of him and Odegaard shaped like he was going to pass it to the player in a position to shoot but he cut back in and crossed it instead.

 

You could argue he should have just stayed with Odegaard instead of anticipating the pass but if he'd passed and they scored from that he'd be getting the same abuse.

[Binomial]

Should be 4-1 up. Jota few guilt edge chances, Harvey with a little quicker decision making like for the first 2 could’ve had a clear pop at goal.

 

2 young CB’s looking solid again, overall pleasantly surprised.

Be quiet you squeaky gobshite.  We were going to be trounced according to you.

Either way, Endo, Tsimikas and Jota will be the best players, no matter what, as always.

Well, that’s the lot of the masochist, I suppose.  Keep it up. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Arsenal resemble Lynx Africa. Smelly cunts.

[Lee909]

Very passive here

[niallers]

Official is a right finicky cunt isn't he? Arsenal look a bit fitter than we do, or we've done more intense work before this game.

If i was a fan in the ground, I'd be down at the nearest tittie bar as its a bit boring.

[Binomial]

This 2nd half has been a bit…..stale.
