Borehamwood FC v Arsenal | July 14, 2018 15:00 BST

[berric]

Sokratis having a mare half loool Emery can't be happy with this

 

[Makingtrax]

I hope not. I need Djokovic to get back to winning ways so he can overtake Federer in the grand slam wins in 3 years.

Anderson has that big ass serve though. Definitely hoping he falls short to the best returner to have ever played the game.

6 hours of tennis has probably drained that serve somewhat.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Lacks a critical yard of pace from what I can see.

Yes and that's worrying but won't judge that quick yet

 

[Uncredible_Hulk]

Can't wait until we get to see a midfield three of Smith-Rowe - Torreira - AMN.

 

[Oh_Snap]

Lacks a critical yard of pace from what I can see.

Already wrote that in his thread and was mocked...in all the sprint pics he is on he is way behind everyone else.

 

[Lidl_Reed]

Entire XI to be subbed off

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Isn’t Osei-Tutu a right back? Is he comfortable with two feet or predominately right/left-footed?

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Defending our final third still need a work on.

We will of course be attacking and pressing team under Emery, but I still think there can be made a lot of improvements from Wenger tactics. But believe it or not, we might not start to see improvements there before after next season in that regard. It can take that long because the problems are very big!

 

[Arsenal1508]

I hope we can become a more ruthless team this season. We always use to sit back when going a few goals ahead.

Emery hopefully will change that attitude.

Smith Rowe was brilliant. Nelson with a lovely goal...but needs to cut off watching Raheem Sterling and be more clinical.
AMN - good start.
Lacazette trying be be an assist maker - great to see, but must know when to shoot and not 2nd guess.
PEA - enough said.
Willock - trying to hard to impress, but I like the ambition.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Just tuned in. How are the youngsters going?

 

[Lidl_Reed]

I wonder if Emery will try Mustafi at RB. He's played there before

 

[Mraven]

Both Osei-Tutu and Smith-Rowe looks physically ready to step up to first team this season. Really exciting!

 

[celestis]

Sokratis, one month at Arsenal and already forgot how to defend.

Laca, deserved.

Never been impressed by him though .

 

[silent_shadow]

Heard about Smith-Rowe but haven't seen much of him before. Looks special for his age so far

 

[krengon]

Enjoyable first half.. Smith-Rowe the standout of the youngsters for me, excellent technically as expected, but his awareness and decision making is far more mature than I would have thought..

Good to see Auba and Laca finding the back of the net regardless of opposition, I'm expecting 30+ goals from Auba this season tbh.. Sokratis looks as I expected/feared, which is a shame.

 

[MLK79]

6 hours of tennis has probably drained that serve somewhat.

I remember when Mahut defeated Isner after 11 hours. He was literally dead for his next match. As for Anderson, 6 hours isn't too bad it's just an 1:21 difference from Djokovic and he is getting a lot more rest. Djokovic has to finish up his media commitments and still needs to be back in less than 24 hours. I'm definitely hoping for this to be the comeback Wimbledon with Djokovic and Serena winning.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Some of you are forgetting that this is Boreham Wood.

 

[KrissKringle]

Jesus, you guys are some nagging nancies about Sokratis after his first 45 minutes played for his new team. Saying he lacks a yard of pace, as if him or anyboby else is gonna give it 100% against Boreham Wood, ffs.
Even Emery said the team is at 50% fitness, so use your brains before you moan like that.

 

[Lidl_Reed]

So which XI do you guys see coming on?

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Just tuned in. How are the youngsters going?

Smith-Rowe impressing heavily with Nelson looking like he is finding his confidence back. Could make argument that Tutu has been our best defender and he is right back playing left back. Willock and AMN also been very solid without making heavy mark on the game imo!
