Arsenal (A) Pre match thread

[kiam06]

I actually don't think we will win this one I'm going for a draw.

Just think pre season was a bit bumpy and they'll be flying trying to impress new manager, crowd etc.

I remembered last season worrying about Aubameyang's pace and if Kompany would struggle against it.

Then there was a ball over the top and Vinnie matched him stride for stride and easily brushed him off the ball.

It was a wonderful sight.

Vinny looked rusy v chelsea though.

Vinny looked rusy v chelsea though.

Yeah true, not entirely sure where he is in terms of pre-season fitness. Maybe this game is a week or two too early.

 

[Craig]

Vinny looked rusy v chelsea though.

Hey? Only thing he had to go was make one brilliant tackle. Doubt hellhstart anyway though as Laporte and Stones played very well.

 

[City Raider]

Was nervous about this one but Sunday’s performance and now the takeover rumblings have me more confident

 

[typicalcity...]

Think we’ll batter them. Sergio looks like he’s fit as ever and in form.

Might say 2-0 but should be more

 

[xgorton]

Michael Oliver the ref,that's fine.

 

[GX Blue]

Vinny looked rusy v chelsea though.

Hey? He made a great tackle and was only on the pitch a short time. Rusty?

 

[vmsuhail]

Bernardo is on fire and fully fit, really hope Pep gives him another game in the centre where he’s much more influential. Sane will be vital too, his pace will ruin their back line. other than those two I think we could field any other combination of our squad and be confident of a win here.

This. We need him to be our next Silva by the time Silva retires.

I’m glad we’re playing them now, before the new coach has really got his philosophy into them and they’re a better oiled machine. They’ll be a tougher prospect later in the season.

If we can boss Xhaka like we should then we should win should we take out chances.

I’d had enough of footy after the World Cup and could have done with a bit more of a break from it but I can make the most of that next year... but I am excited for the new season again.

 

[Father Paul]

Such a difficult game to start the season with. They’ll be properly up for it, Emerys first game and with it being their first home fixture I see this being as difficult as we find Anfield. Fingers crossed we can get the three points.

Not sure about that Anfield?

 

[Adamb95]

Never been this confident for Arsenal away in my life.

Same lineup I’d choose. I think we’ll batter them 1-3

Could put David in for Beni and Raz for Mahrez strong either way, can’t wait.

Yep that's the team I'd go for too.

Think that will be our main starting eleven this season.

 

[Withnail]

Can't wait for Sunday. Interesting to see how Arsenal play under Dick, but would like to think we will have too much quality and should win.

Aguero was superb on Sunday and hopefully this form will extend to Sunday.
