Things that I have gleened from the first half.
Santi still has a touch of class.
Beilik can pass the ball.
Debuchy needs to be kept as competition to Bellerin.
Gibbs needs to be got rid of.
Wally is Wally.
Our defence can be ripped open very easily still.
Shit opponents but i thought Campbell played well, Debuchy was decent, Elneny and Santi did well in midfield Bielik looks ok but definitely raw and Wally was well Wally, nuff said
8-0. Always pleasurable to get an appropriate scoreline against a smaller team.
Doesn't mean a thing, we still need a CB and a striker.
Second pre-season in which Akpom has done well. No doubt he's going out on loan again.

Very true Nos, unfortunately we rarely seem to do it even in friendlies these days never mind in the league and only really manage it on rare rare occasions on match day 6 when last 16 qualification hanging by a thread

No mention for Iwobi?.......he looked very impressive to me....but against poor opposition
Santi is a class act, Wally scored but still looks lost to me
Lets see what happens against City....especially how the CBs hold up....will be interesting

Agreed. Iwobi was very good. That being said, it was against Vikings second/youth team. I thought that Akpom was invisible. He missed a sitter that any of us would have scored and that was with two cracks at it. He finally scored when the keeper spilled a shot.
I am usually not worried about us playing City, but Peps City is a different prospect altogether. We will lose with hardly any attempts and attempts on target. Welcome to the new season, same as last season (with the exception of a lower points total).
