Gunner89 Havertz in midfield again is a waste of even a friendly game because that shit has been done to a failure so many times
Yeah, well none of our midfielders (outside of MLS) are back yet. Ode just returned, Rice, Zubi not back yet, Bruno hasnt officially signed yet, Norgaard is gone, Vieira is only back temporarily.. We didnt have much choice.
USArsenal fair point that
Just before the usual panic settles in this place, this is Betis' 6th pre season friendly in the past 3 weeks. Meanwhile it's our 2nd. There's a relative difference in match fitness and sharpness to account for.

Result is irrelevant - fitness doesn't change kepa's consistent inability to make saves
That's all
I expect como and city to be representative of how we might start the league in terms of starting 11
Pepe LeFrits not watching, who was that?

I don't really want to defend Kepa because I don't rate him either.
But pre season is for fitness and match sharpness.
How was Gyokeres tonight?
this is what you'll get from kepa and still he will get defended
rest of the performance i don't care, patched up half fit eleven
this guy is stealing a living, can't do a job in a friendly or any game for that matter
he's worse than almunia
Not sure if this was posted elsewhere but this interview with Hector is wonderful. I love how he still says "us".

Asterix he walked around clapping the Arsenal fans after.
Hmm I liked the idea of him for us but I think we need a different profile up top
lorddulaarsenal mate, you change your opinion on him every other game 😆
QuincyAbeyie based on a tweet of a game he didn't watch. Almost every Arsenal player was shit yesterday anyway.
QuincyAbeyie I know - he’s incredibly erratic
PSG got pamped 3-0 yesterday as well, FWIW.
I think the writer of the tweet watched a different game. Or didn't watch it either.
He was one of our better forward players yesterday. I know that's not saying much.
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert that highlight thing is dumb as fuck. Half them are hospital balls he's trying to recover. And it just ignores all his good moments. Literally no one in the team played in a way you couldn't make a compilation like this. And its our second pre-season game. He's had 45 minutes of football before this.
