I didn’t watch but I assume this is horseshit?
We certainly created more from winning the ball back high than we did playing out from the back, that’s for sure
Anyway, glad we got this match in our preseason aside the bad refereeing and unnecessarily bad challenges from the Chelsea players.
It was good test for the team and a good opportunity for Mikel to try some stuff out and learn. I think we created many dangerous situations up front. We were definitely a bit of shit show at the back though with the high line and the shakey build-up. Most of the chances Chelsea got we essentially gave them.
Ideally there’s no preseason game midweek, let them rest. Final test against Spurs. Hopefully a nice performance ahead of the Brentford game and a reason for us to laugh at Tottenham.
Yeah I just can’t do it anymore, I wanted a midfield pivot of Partey / new dynamic signing and instead it’s gonna be Xhaka/ Elneny for the first month of the season. Not sure I can be fucked getting up in the middle of the night yet again to watch ourselves fumble our way to 5 points from the first 5 games.
Trust me mate, I was there…We created feck all…as usual, ffs
What the fuck does this even mean. Somebody fire this guy.
I saw that line-up against Hibernian and knew we’re in trouble when I saw about 6 dead-wood start that game. Very few out-goings and if any they all seem to be loans. Just not enough getting done. Not even close to.
It’s a fucking joke mate.
Xhaka going and now he’s staying and an integral part of the squad.
Bellerin going and now he’ll be staying.
Elneny and Kola getting pre season minutes.
Fuck this club.
Nobody at the top 4 clubs is remotely worried about Arsenal challenging them this season with the business done.
Fact is West Ham and Leicester and Leeds will all be looking to challenge us for another season.
Nobody’s playing us with fear or too much respect.
Retro shirt plan for Christmas to keep us happy Rock. We know how this works mate.
Bundled with a free red and white scarf to keep us warm for the upcoming winter, very thoughtful of them
Should include some free condoms as well…
Will have so many “fuck” while watching the game
We don’t give a fuck if it worries you, you dickhead. What the fuck have you done/are you doing about it? You are the fucking coach. If you go around telling people your players and their idiocy worries you, what the fuck are we supposed to do?
Lokonga starting. Hopefully he does well and makes it hard not to select him for Brentford.
Fuck we still need a GK forgot about that, seeing that hack on the bench reminded me.
Hein is a goalkeeper too, but have absolutely no idea if he’s any good.
No Willian or Willock in the squad
This is the first XI that Arteta will be looking to use next Friday.
Bellerin over Chambers and Cedric?
I’m going to assume that Auba is on the wing and Laca is starting because Saka isn’t ready yet.
