FA Community Shield: Arsenal v Liverpool | Saturday August 29 | KO: 16:30 BST | BT Sport

[SA Gunner]

1-1 Whatever happens now, all credit to Arteta.

I like what I'm seeing from the manager. Now for some players in key positions.

To let AMN leave would be really foolish. I'm no body language expert but he looks happy enough to me and he's just played 90 mins at Wembley 3 games in a row

Foolish is not being able to strengthen the midfield by refusing to sell valuable squad players.

 

[Dokaka]

Most notable difference IMO is that Martinez is a lot more confident on crosses.

He generally just looks more confident doing anything. That maybe sounds harsh on Leno but it isn't meant that way, Leno is a good keeper.

 

[GDeep™]

Keown said he’s not convinced by Leno, so what’s his agenda?

 

[El Duderino]

Good game, if we got this result on matchday 3 at their ground we'd be happy. Played well, good positioning throughout.

Shat the bed a bit after their goal, but managed to pull it back. Even a few week ago we would've checked out mentally completely.

I have to say, whatever happens in this shootout, today's performance was encouraging. We still need some more recruitment and players to come back (i.e. Pepe, Willian) but we're looking a lot more competent.

Martinez is not a squad player though, and AMN has stared all the big games in the last 6 weeks.

Doesn't look like a squad player to me anymore

 

[DanDare]

Martinez is an Arsenal man and a top keeper

AMN is an Arsenal man and a top player

Two no brainers

 

[say yes]

Great pen

We definitely still lack creativity hopefully they get 3 good mids

Class pen Nelson

MARTINEZ WHAT A SAVE

[DanDare]

By the way the collar on the Liverpool kit is horrific

 

[say yes]

I’m shivering

 

[KrissKringle]

Nelson showing cajones with that excellent first penalty.

 

[Dokaka]

Reiss Nelson's got that NBA Point Guard vibe going

 

[MutableEarth]

Reiss takes a decent pen. Really good FK taker aswell.


Just his corners that are hit and miss.

 

[OnlyOne]

@American_Gooner quick on the trigger.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Good pen Nelson
