Pre-Season Summer 2021

[Yousif Arsenal]

Pre-season isnt telling you much anyhow.
It's mostly all teams on very different stages of their fitness and preparations.
Also, if you just hit 3-4 very high intensity training sessions to get to a proper fitness level, you'll always look absolutely crushed and slow'ish on a pre-season game falling into such periods.

I tend to rarely judge players on pre-season outings.
Maybe sometimes some new kids who show some promise at max.

Yes both teams losing possession alot also we starting with 5 players who all could leave

Classic Arsenal mistake

I know it’s cool to hate on Eddie but his overall play has improved quite a bit. I used to hate seeing him out on the wing but it has helped his technique a lot.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Nketiah and one also does not get the topscorer at youth-level for England without being good.

It's just that we can pretty safely say that we have seen enough to say that he'll never quite become what we expect in a striker for our club, our standards are and should be to eventually either sign a new RVP/Sanchez/Henry level striker or sign a kid/give time to a kid from the academy that looks to really have the upside to eventually get there.

It is a key thing for every well-run top club to sell players like Nketiah at that very point in time where you feel like its not quite going to work, not when every other club gets the same sense of it.
30m wasnt so far off with him at a particular point in time, now it is gonna be 15m max.

Well done Elneny. Our 1st choice midfielder

Not watching the game but I imagine Elneny is out there dictating things.

 

[NieThePiet]

Nketiah looks sick as LW.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We just praise him few minutes ago.

So all goals we conceded came from mistakes that's definitely not positive

Of course he is and gave goal away

Look decent but lost posse alot

Look uhhh, mistakes are part and parcel of the game.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Willian auba are seriously out of thier depth

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Cedric too

 

[RunTheTrap]

Look decent but lost posse alot

He’s been fine. He hasn’t lost it as much as Tavares

 

[NieThePiet]

Has Auba touched the ball yet?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Yes Tavares look bad today

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Lokanga look elegant midfield very calm and not bothered under high press

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Has Auba touched the ball yet?

Very little involved and I'm really worried he look continue his lazy and declining form

I know but I see some stupid statements regarding Eddie. People on this forum say Eddie is league one standard. Do you really think the club would waste time with players who were league one standard? They’re all PL quality. Maybe not Arsenal quality, but definitely PL quality

Didn't realize Nelson was playing
