Cazorla clearly used all his free kick juju in the FA cup final.

I don't mind.

I know it's only a friendly yet it bugs me quite a bit that we're losing it.

Rohit

Considering Wilshere has just come back 9 days ago, he looks quite sharp, has found some lovely angles from deep midfield.

He needs to stop being foolish though with some of the tackles, it's a friendly to get the fitness back, no point in pushing yourself that much and risking injury.

No centre forward is a bit daft

If yaya is going on loan then maybe we are signing someone or Joel will get some squad time

Nela

Wilshere and Gibbs look sharp and up for it.

We're really missing strikers/runners.

lorddulaarsenal

By the way, even adding chambers we need another centreback in the squad. Two if verm leaves. Don't take risks at the back

No worries, Diaby will get it done in the second half.

He doesn't know how to hold back, it's just not in his make-up to play with any kind os restraint.
It's both a strength and a weakness now.

Nela

It's strange that we left Yaya and Afobe at home.

Afobe even played today.

Akpom will sort that second half.

Id be happy with an established replacement for TV and Chambers as 4th choice, Verms replacement really needs to be a quality signing though, no experiments.

That's what worries me, slightly 🙂
He may tear it up in pre-season, enough to convince Wenger he's a viable option.

A Nacho-Hayden centre back pairing isn't the way forward in my opinion.

Gibbs looks good, Jack is fun to watch as ever!

Not sure I look Aaron's new look.

Ramsey and Wilshere attack aggressively from deep midfield, which is great for counter attacks, but just as likely to create a huge gap in front of our defence if it fails. Multiple opposition players have taken advantage of this.

An established premiership centre half is what's required.

It's pretty worrying. Rambo needs to sit back more when he's playing CM, there's loads of games where Arteta's basically on his own in midfield (like today).

Love Jack for it. I wasn't as critical when he injured himself in the international friendly. He needs to look after himself though.

I know what you mean about it being a strength and agree wholeheartedly. It is what makes him special not only from a technical point of view but mental as well. Most players are inhibited and exhibit doubt after injury layoffs, not Jack though.

Ramsey needs to keep doing what he does. Arteta needs an upgrade.

It seems a bit excessive to be fretting about Ramsey's positioning today, given that we're playing without a CF he's obviously going to be in full attack mode.

Just something I've noticed before, obviously moaning about any performances today is worthless.
