Arsenal v City (Community Shield) Post Match Thread

[Manchester_lalala]

Several things we need to consider

Boyata is a liability
Navas is short of match fitness
Yaya is 'easing' himself back in
Nasty is short on confidence
Milner should stay
David needs rest
Willy could prove costly
Dzeko needs better service
Sami needs game time
Fernado is going to have a steep learning curve
Jovetic is not the finished article

Can't disagree with any of that.

I can, what a load of bollocks.

Clichy isn't an emergency right back.

never said he was

Just added to your list.

Disappointing but only to be expected with so many players missing or half fit. Nothing much to lose sleep over. We just look undercooked one week from the start of the season. Would never have started Willy today. Also no reason really why we are playing Sinclair, Richards and Zucculini into fitness when they'll be off and Sagna, Fernandinho and Lampard need the game time. Pelle needs to kick some arses in training next week.

You're more flappy than Flap Flap McFuckFlap from Flappyland!

I don't really think Navas is short of match fitness, I just think he always has difficulty impacting the game as a started. Really wish Silva and Nasri had gotten more than 45 minutes.

Think a lot have rightly cited poor fitness levels on show today and that needs urgent attention across the team. Jo Jo seems to be carrying on from pre season and I thought was City's MoM. Merlin made a difference when he came on.

The real downer for me today was listening to that little prick Owen who must have wet himself when Giroud knocked the third in. If there is a pundit who is more anti City, please name

Lots of work to be done before next Sunday but confident we will be ready for trhe barcodes.

Positives - Fernandinho, Negredo good games today.

Negatives - Hart, Kompany, Mangala, Aguero all shit.

Bring on Northumberland at Maine Road next week.

I'd love us in the future just to play our up and coming youth team in this friendly

Our best 11 is great, however, injuries and bans will happen... And when they do, that's when we fall apart. It happened last season.

There is way too much deadwood. Especially when it comes to defending.

you mean we fell apart and still managed to win a double?

for fuck's sake i don't know how you can keep a straight face with the utter, utter shit you keep putting up here

So which Arsenal players are we tapping up next? : )
