Pre-season Friendly #5: Arsenal FC vs Manchester City FC. - Sunday, August 7th - 6:00pm (UK)

[Rimaal]

A few observations:

1. Walcott is a RW, not a ST
2. Elneny continues to impress, we're a lot more fluid with him in there
3. Our back up fullbacks are atrocious
4. Hate to see an injury to any player but the silver lining with Gabriel going down is it forces Wenger to bring someone in and sadly, Gabriel is/was a mistake waiting to happen back there every game
5. Iwobi needs to be starting more games
6. We badly need a clinical striker up top

On point.

Well it look Liverpool will be without Sturridge Milner and Lovern against us still not confirmed reports.

Give them a lot of **** but I admit that they have class and standard. Gotta respect that. Their "projects" and how they work. Its admirable. They want to develop.

 

[nicky47]

No chance of that imo, lot of stuff he'd have to learn before he could be thrown in.

La Liga is still 2 weeks away from starting so he's probably not quite at a full match fitness level either.

It's probably gonna be Holding and Chambers.

I think so too regardless if we managed to sign him or not. I don't think he's long come back from his time off, nor has he trained much or played games of late if I'm correct?

GABRIEL INJURY VIDEO

Replay of what happened. DO NOT WATCH IF SQUEAMISH. Not gory, but not pretty either.

Gabby falls and in doing so his left leg lands in a bad position. I suspect its knee ligaments for sure, and likely weeks, if not months.

 

[redanddread]

No established defenders (again) - #MaDness!!!!!!!

 

[Tourbillion]

Definitely knee.

Minimum one month for sure.

ETA:
watched again (4 times) , looks like there might be a knee issue as well.

Not likely to be ACL..probably MCL tear.. 1.5-6months

So we're in CRISIS mode and the season hasn't started - haha, I tell you, Arsène's unlucky with injuries but he doesn't help himself at times.

Lolz. Spelling bee championship word in 98.

 

[carlito'sway]

Arsène is saying it may be a sprained ankle.... Hope so.

I've had many a sprained ankle, never writhed on the floor in pain because of it.

Classy...... I can dislike them that much with Pep & Mikel, two decent guys, unlike the jackass across town...

Don't come to Jamaica with dodgy ankles.......when you have to run you need to be able to run fast!

From the mosquitoes....

 

[ferrarif50hunt]

No way that's a sprained ankle, clearly knee ligaments of some kind.

Running is against my religion. I only glide.
