20/21 Pre-Season

[balthazar]

Not sure where to put this as Özil thread is locked.

Özil is smiling in training!

If Guendouzi gets a second chance and a clean slate for the new season, I hope Arteta will do the same for Mesut. Xhaka was also given a chance to redeem himself. It's bad management to waste him for the whole season, and I'm sure it also affects the team spirit. Surely Øzil can contribute. Ffs we are crying for some creativity in the team...

Hope the Villa game is at least streamed or we can get some details. I assume it'll be our last game before the actual season starts so they may as well let us watch.

Yeah, I think we need to be very lucky for Özil to contribute. I think it's not so much about if Arteta will give him a chance, but if Özil can keep healthy and focused.

Wouldn't hurt to have him feature in some games if he gives his all.

Arteta must know that if he can get Özil back playing well it would only enhance his growing reputation

Rumour is arteta wants 2 more friendlies before fulham. So dont be surprised for another game to pop up early next week

I reckon we're playing 4 at the back but don't want teams to know so we're doing it without cameras

Maybe we're also bending the quarantine rules

Thought this today, don't get it at all. I understood the QPR one since I'm sure it was played at a training ground, but considering this is at the Emirates why not stream?

We did the MK Dons one fine. It's a little bit annoying.

 

[Manberg]

Maybe because Gabriel and/or Ceballos are playing when they're supposed to be in quarantine. Gabriel was spotted in a training picture.

I don't know, just hypothesising

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

U guys actually watch preseason games

Apparently another loss. Not looking good for Mikels men.

Most of our players plus youth players are in international duty with who we played ? Willian Gabriel Pepe Auba Özil took part?

Why they keep it secret? At least give us in game update.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Auba is machine other players need to step up.
