Pre-season Friendlies Thread

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

On the plus side Wenger has ditched the business suit for a fetching, slimline pantsuit. Very nice. :shock: :shock: :shock:

This is all a little bit predictable.
Our defence isn't very good and we don't have a goalscorer.

Nobody ever predicted that, you're just saying it in hindsight how was OGL supposed to know :wink:

That was an awful goal to concede. They had two men forward against five and managed to walk it in. Delph got the ball facing away from goal on the touch line with two men on him - one fucking disappears and after getting dragged out of position Gabriel stands off to let him pick out a cross at will. And of course no point in either of the defenders in the box trying to track Aguero into the six yard box.

We as a team still fundamentally do not understand how to defend.

Kevin Campbell is going to have his rights revoked if he keeps making negative comments about our striker situation :barscarf:

Was he not specifically told to stop shooting from outside the box?? Not going to fit into the "Arsenal way" if he refuses to listen.
