Barcelona vs Arsenal | August 4th | KO: 19:00 BST | Joan Gamper Trophy

[Impact]

Technical security on the flanks?

What does that even mean? Özil has never been a wide player and Reiss was working very hard. Now we're getting destroyed down that side.

It was not needed.

Nelson was good and should have stayed on. Mkhi should have been brought off instead.

Technical security is obvious. Against an aggressive pressing side like Barcelona, you need players that are good enough on the ball to handle that e.g. Özil.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Willock my man

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

GET MKHI OFF!!!!!!!

 

[Sniper Mik]

club captain ruining our only good Centre back

 

[Rex Stone]

This is last season all over again, no midfielders who can do anything with the ball and no width.

Just inviting pressure ffs.

 

[Big Poppa]

He can play there too

So can about 10 of our other players. That's not an area we are weak.

My point is that he was doing an excellent job of protecting our defence and now we're exposed.

 

[Impact]

Willock again. Huge!

 

[Jasard]

Can you tell me when Mhki is off? I can't watch him any more

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Take mkhi out ffs getting really embarrassing with him

 

[Ricardinho]

Gonna take a huge effort to bring the Gamper home the way things are going

 

[gunner4lyfe]

Even Willock is frustrated with Xhaka

 

[Wrighty4eva]

Another masterclass by the Spanish Mr Magoo, showing his tactical expertise.

 

[Plutarch]

Finally, some play where we're not being overrun

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Another masterclass by the Spanish Mr Magoo, showing his tactical expertise.

We winninh tho at camp nou something mister wenger couldn't do

 

[North5]

Make some changes Unai you div

 

[Wrighty4eva]

Mkhitaryan isn't even trying anymore (not like he was in the first place)

 

[Eduardo_da_Silva]

Emery makes really bad decisions during the game. Just the oposite in comparison with the last season.

 

[Ricardinho]

Any chance of seeing Ceballos

 

[Trilly]

Rather than losing our sh*t let’s assume Emery is using this time to figure out what works and what doesn’t?

I think that’s what pre-season is for?

 

[SingmeasongSong]

Remember those Atletico rumors for Xhaka ? Good times.
