Poor defending n finishing has been poor...Zaltan and Pepe needed

 

[Unknown_Genius]

This shows why we shouldn't let Barry leave, and why Pellegrini wants a new defender. We've not been as bad as 3-0 suggests, just haven't been able to take our chances, and poor defending/clinical Arsenal finishing have cost us. We've played some good stuff today.

FLAP!

Preseason win = we are brilliant and will win the league at a canter
Preseason loss = we'll finish out of the top 4 and most likely relegated

Roll on Newcastle.

 

[st. blue]

To be fair we don't look like a Mancini side. We're moving the ball forward a lot quicker and more longer passes too.

In the first half you could hear the coaching staff shouting at our back four to stay out of the box when Arsenal were coming forward.

Second half a lot more disjointed due to the changes.

Hopefully we'll learn more from this than expected and the players will work that bit harder in the build up to the Newcastle game.

I'm not convinced this team is good enough to win the league. Second might even be a stretch looking at the performance in this game.

getting all hysterical over a pre season friendly people like you are an embarrassment just log off

 

[thenabster]

Wow.

 

[oppa gangnam style]

Since 3-0 Arsenal has the ball more often. Strange.

This high line defence will really highlight our defender's weaknesses and also it wont be good for Hart.

Fernandinho was very good in first half but in second half he is awful, losing the ball so easily.

The flapping in here is hilarious, some people should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Arsenal are fucking shit.

What does that make us...Why do people say "it's only pre season"

Yeah carry on...

Lol

Will you be lolling if our defense is this shite a week on Monday.
Get real man.
And Hart IS a liability.. I am more confident with Pants in net

 

[LouisianaBlue]

Hart maybe to blame for 1 or 2. The high line and lack of tracking back on counters are more to blame imo
