Arsenal V Man City Community Shield pre match thread.

Surely Vinny or MDM need at least 30 minutes of football before next week? Very surprised about that. Vinny has to start at Newcastle

 

[Benarbia]

Awful bench

Vinny will start next week

Weak bench

Hart, Micah, Rekik, Milner, Sinclair, Silva, Zuculini.

No Garcia.

Garcia is off to petersburg

Lucky b**tard, going to Florida; hasn't he had a long enough holiday?

Pellers has kept faith with those who have had most of the pre season together, shows he is playing the players he thinks are fit enough not going off names which I admire. Also allows he to judge whether when the lesser games come round will he be able to rely on Nastisic and Boyata. As all are aware since 1945 only 23% of temas who have won the shield have actually gone on to win the title so without putting that hoodoo to rest I am happy for the secondary players to get the limelight and show us what they can do rather than worry about the result.

One pound to a penny when the real things start next week that backline will have three changes in it at least and Silva won't be on the bench.

Weather is atrocious.

Worried about the Boyata he has a knack of conceding pens recently, the pace of sanchez could cause us issues but think we can cause them plenty of problems.

 

[Benarbia]

Boyata vs Sanchez will be fun. Still it's only a friendly
