Sanchez was someone that has performed very well in the epl before United bought him. Torres is still fresh in our minds

There is no point arguing further. Whether or not we admit it, the transfer is a risk. But, it's a risk worth taking. Good or bar, we'll finally have a natural winger who could become World Class.

.... Lacazette subbed off for Reiss Nelson.

Who's watching?
Was laca injured

...... Willock is bossing that midfield, Mehn at this rate, AMN can remain a right back. This kid is it !!!!

... Roland17, are you seeing this?

..... Guendouzi and Willock are really flowing together, very impressed with both kids so far. Guendouzi looking like he was never away.

Baba, I am watching him closely, particularly his position with/without the ball and he seems to be playing higher up the pitch than Xhaka and Guen.

R. Nelson has been impressive thus far.

... Oh, yes. I think it's the instruction from Emery. Guendouzi likes sitting deep and spraying those forward passes which he has been doing very well in this match since he has been given time to do that but Willock is so direct and that drive of his, damn! He gets into space and he shoots, no thinking, doesn't contemplate, he shoots but not very well yet, lol. It's something that's wrong with the young lads from Iwobi to Guendouzi and now Willock. The coaching team should look into it. Otherwise, he is quite the talent.

what's up with laca shit they worry him?

Auba with an excellent finish to give us the lead. Assist from Miki who combined very well with ANM on the right. Good wing play by Arsenal so far.

Arsenal 1-0 Lyon

No word yet about the injury but it seems precautionary than anything. We may get better info by halftime.

.... Amazing passes from Guendouzi all the way to the goal scorer in Auba. Fantastic goal.

.... The midfield of today have been amazing and Mhki looks hungry.

This is a big season for Guen in my opinion and he has looked sharp especially when you consider this is his first preseason game. I would love to see better discipline with his positioning and field awareness because he has the intensity, energy and skills.
As for shooting, even Nelson looks like he needs help with that aspect.

That was an amazing pass from Guen to change the direction of attack.

.... Common Guendouzi, stop waiting for whistle. He has to stop that habit.

The back 4 has looked really good with Sok and Chambers as CBs.

.... Yes!! I love the fact that he is building on his strengths; his vision and perfect weigh of his passes. Totally unreal watching us play like this and Ceballos isn't in yet

.... It's weird how the young players have problems shooting, every single one of them including Eddie. I don't like it.

..... Chambers starting ahead of Mustafi says a lot about Mustafi. I will be very worried if Sokratis gets injured, we will be in a huge mess.

..... Half - time

.... Interesting game but defensive awareness will do a lot to help our shaky defense.

arsenal academy players can't shoot it's obvious

Please sound it to Unai on that touchline, don't start Auba and laca together, why even do that in preseason..

Let's be managing both, please rotate them, City rotate Aguero and Jesus, of Auba gets injured, can we count on Nketiah when the season gets tough..

Please let's be prudent. Injuries can destroy a season

..... Emery is a 4 -2 -3 - 1 man, and he is close to achieving this formation, just remains Tiernay since Pepe is nearly done.

.... Iwobi/ Nelson and Mkhi will fight for that left wing until we get a proper winger there next season, perhaps Soares?

....But both Nelson and Iwobi have big issues with their final ball and Mkhi is hot and cold. Hence, why we might continue to see Lacazette and Auba in the line up but preferably it should be one striker at a time.

Nketiah should be scoring that, good work by Willock.

.... I don't like this 4-4-2, it doesn't allow us press well and it is giving space for Lyon to do damage. I understand Guendouzi has been away but bringing Eddie for him isn't really working at the moment. Another midfielder has to come in for an attacker.

Roland17:
Nketiah should be scoring that, good work by Willock.

.... Put John - Jules in his place and he might have scored one of Eddie's two chances. Eddie should be doing better for heaven sake.

.... Nelson trying to do an Alexis there.....nice one.

..... Ceballos in please, Xhaka's madness has returned. A second goal will hasten that substitution, common lads!

Dembele equalizes for Lyon.

ANM has no business playing RB, we are only ruining his career.

..... Oh well, miss truckload of chances and then the other team equalises, Madrid all over again.

... Niles can be very frustrating sometimes, please get us a right back, I won't mind Alves. I have saying it Niles isn't it and Chambers was very poor there.

.. . Why on earth are the fans booing Mustafi?? WTF!!!

Martinelli scores

Arsenal 2-1 Lyon

....AMN is injured again?? Abeg, get us Alves, I can't imagine starting the season with Mustafi or Jenkinson as right backs.
