Brentford bulbeyes A Fri 13th Aug KO 8pm

[DB10GOONER]

We literally have nothing in front of those centre halves. Remember oppo player's looking up and seeing Petit or Vieira there and passing the ball out wide. Now we have cùnts dancing straight onto our CHs.

[Perryashburtongroves]

As predicted, absolutely no creativity and a wide open midfield. Is this all part of the process?

[DB10GOONER]

Martinelli and Balogun out of their depth which is why Arteta has not played them.

Jesus Rob, get a grip mate.

I’ve been moaning about our lack of creativity in every match thread since Ozil discovered Fortnite

[TeeCee]

Bit harsh having a go at the strikers, our midfield is shit! Lokonga giving it plenty of effort as is ESR but quality wise its awful.

[SteveO 35]

Gotta laugh at some of the comments on here

Blimey....half an hour in and Balogun being written off

[begeegs]

In between saving the world from terrorists I have a glance here, I cant believe you've said Balogun isn't quite up to it, I'm sure the be all and end all voice of football has said that he's the new Henry

Lenny Henry is definitely getting a run for his money.

[Perryashburtongroves]

37½ more games to go.

[SteveO 35]

Less than 2 weeks till the League Cup starts

[Redarmy]

Balogun looking a bit out of his depth for me.

Early days though.

Yup. We have to hope Martinez-Lite will give him a good run of games to see if he can cut it. But of course shit for brains won't.

These youngsters need a run of games to show what they can do.....a creative midfield providing chances would help

[DB10GOONER]

Ah yes "the process". If football is a nice Camembert, we are processed cheese.

Martinelli and Balogun out of their depth which is why Arteta has not played them.

Martinelli has already proven he is well able for this level

[begeegs]

I certainly expected a lot better, but it looks so rusty. Lokonga & Tierney looks to be the best of the lot.

[Natural Born Gooner]

Mari playing like a pubber, Xhaka reverting back to a paraplegic robocock, and Pepe playing like he won a make a wish competition to play for a PL team, but no, lets blame Martinelli and Balogun!

[rodders999]

Gonna chance going for one of my patented half time lucky poos.

Didn’t think I’d have to on the opening day of the season but needs must.

Second half comeback incoming.
