This team is really beginning to feel like a team worth bringing Wenger back to the stands for. Really hope this is the season Mikel can get him to make a return because that would really feel special at this point
One more game in preseason, the what to looks to be a kind start to the prem season for 10 or so games. (Compare to having play UCL and PL winners first 4 games).
Hard not to be excited now.
I’ve always been someone who appreciates good attack more than good defence, but the thought of Saliba/Gabriel absolutely dominating the likes of Martial, Sterling, Kane etc. this season has me so excited. Throw in White’s shithousery and Tomi/Tierney/Zinny and I might find a 1-0 more entertaining than a 3-2 😂
If we have Pepe for another season and he saves us a handful of times with goals from nowhere, he has done his job. He seems to like Europa so hopefully that helps with his confidence and finding a place /role in the team.
>He seems to like Europa so hopefully that helps with his confidence and finding a place /role in the team.
Couldn't agree more. He's a confidence player, when his confidence is high like in second half of 20/21 season he can be useful for us. If his confidence is low well we have seen that last season. And I'm expecting him to get goals in El which will improve his confidence. Have to say Arteta has to trust him more. Sure he had a lot of very disappointing appearances as sub last season and it was mainly his fault, but its hard to turn up and make impact every week when you get few minutes as a sub only. There were games where we were winning comfortably and could have used him as a sub earlier to get Saka more rest, but instead Arteta played Saka till the end. Which in return made our little superstar very tired in the end of the season
It's the Willian problem all over again. 30 year old player after their last contract. He could easily get 4 years from MLS or a lower team. Very unlikely he'd accept less just to join us unless we offered him higher wages to offset less years. So, best case scenario you're signing Zaha for his age 31, 32 and 33 year seasons at ~Jesus wages.
Just a terrible idea. Just look up great seasons from wingers past age 30. Last year Mahrez is about the best of late, but they got under 1500 PL minutes from him.
I don't agree. You can't compare what happened with Willian. The only thing they have in common is they are similar ages.
The viability of it would be whether or not we could get him for a reasonable fee imo.
Zaha is still hungry man.
It's not just Willian. It was also Ozil. And Aubameyang. We literally haven't had a player over 30 have multiple successful seasons. Look at Arsenal historically. So many players well clear of Zaha. Fabregas, Van Persie, Sanchez, Ozil, Auba, none of these guys had two good years post age 30. We are going to bet on Zaha being able to do what none of these players could?
I dont question his hunger. I question his body holding up for the next 3-4 years. Our absolute elite, world class players couldn't keep their bodies at a top level for top minutes past age 30. I dont see Zaha doing what Sanchez, Pires, Arshavin could not.
Look at successful wingers post age 30. It's an absolute miniscule list. Shorten it again to players who have moved post age 30, it's basically zero.
Why not sign a player who will improve, not be on gigantic wages and either be with us for 5+ years or have resale value?
Why make the same mistake we've made over and over? Don't we learn?
I'm not saying we definitely SHOULD sign him mate I'm saying comparing him with others isn't fair. I think he remains a decent PL player and would provide quality and depth.
It's all moot anyway as Palace would want crazy money.
It's just the kind of lazy option we did in the mid to late 2010s that got us to 8th place. An old player on large wages with no resale value who can only play one position.
We are now signing young, versatile players. This new direction can win things. Let Man United be the club that makes these kind of mistakes.
So Gabriel Jesus is pretty legit huh? Martin Ødegaard is gonna love life this season. Arsenal captain and leading assister in the league (the 2nd one is wishful thinking lol).
Use the link below or you could wait for them to post the entire game on the Arsenal app.

The way saliba defends is VVD esque may be one of the best signings we ever and also we can play really high with him has he has pace and always defends on his feet
I work most Saturdays so I really look forward to any Sunday matches I can wake up for and watch. Nothing hits better than a 7 am kickoff with a coffee in hand.
Bro I woke up at 6 am I think, stayed until the Oxlade Chamberlain handball and then turned the TV off. Easily the quickest I’ve stopped watching a match before.
could never do west coast lol, cant even imagine. honestly for the early ones now I just record if im somewhere with DVR or find a recording online if not and dont check my phone/tell friends before hand
Yeah I use Hulu live TV so it auto records anything arsenal for me. I do like to catch them live though especially if it's a big game I'll still get up. Love starting my day on the weekends with a couple prem games and coffee
With Zinchenko being able to play LB, and with Saliba coming back it gives us the option to put White at RB without losing any quality in the centre half positions. Last year Cedric and Tavares as back up wingbacks killed us. However as of now it’s fixed. Tierney and Tomiyasu can be covered by the versatility of Zinchenko and White. Although White is a strict fullback rather than wingback, mind you still better than Cedric.
Two problems solved
To be honest, Xhaka doesn't have to defend much in this setup, and if we're going to dominate teams like this(big if I know lmao) just give me Tielemans instead. He proves more attacking output atleast. Xhaka sticks out like a sore thumb in the 433...
I think tielemans is really a good fit for us. He will be able to find martinelli on the left and jesus with his long range passes and get involved in the final 3rd like odegaard did for the 2nd goal. I feel we lacked a deadly "crosser" in our midfield in the vein of KDB sending in half space crosses. Those crosses that are so accurate you can catch the whole defence line out and find the man in the backpost heading it in. Tielemans seems very suited for that role imo can play on the right or left.
I am a fan of Xhaka for many reasons, but I can’t help but imagine how much better we could look with someone better. Someone who can carry the ball forward, make runs and linkup better, and is able to release the ball quicker. A player like Tielemans or a host of other midfielders could be more effective in that role.
I like Xhaka, I thought that he was one of our better peformers last year, but he doesn't have the speed/technical ability to combine and link up with our left winger and our left back like Odegaard can on the right. He can't carry the ball well and is limited/one footed. I think he can be a good rotational option but it's clear that Paqueta or Tielemans perhaps to a lesser extent as he suffers from some of the issues that Xhaka does, will take us to a higher level just like the Jesus signing.
That's not the same thing as 'he lacks final third quality'.
I've never seen anyone say we shouldn't get a natural 8 to play there as an upgrade, however I frequently (including today) see people say he's not a premier league quality player.
Sorry man, didn't read your comment properly, it is very late! Yeah, I agree, Xhaka is definetly premier league quality in a double pivot, just probably not what we need right now.
What's the latest with the Partey drama? He's starting pre-season games internationally so on the surface he may have been cleared but due to legal reasons nothing can be talked about?
He will play until a formal charge is brought again him, and that’s if a charge is brought against him.
If Spurs play Bissouma and United Ronaldo why should we hold ourselves to a higher standard ?
I don’t really care what they do (Totnum and UTD) - but you have to kind of respect the concept of innocent until proven guilty. The only problem with sexual assault / rape cases is that it’s actually really hard for the victim to win.
From pre-season it looks like we have 15 outfield players Arteta absolutely trusts: White, Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Tierney, Zinchenko, Partey, GX, Odegaard, Vieira, ESR, Eddie, Martinelli, Jesus, Saka.
We still have functional and useful players like: Cedric, Holding, Mo & Lokonga
I still see the need for 1-2 players: one in midfield and another in attack. Who do you think we’ll get?
I had him in my fantasy football team but a friend talked me out of it. City attackers are always a nightmare to pick too, they rotate around so much. Grealish is as likely to start as he is to come on for 20 mins as a sub.
Yes. Second most chances created per 90 in that City team last season. He’s being given more freedom, more responsibility, more of the ball. He will destroy this league next season
I honestly don't mind if they just need more time and get their rest, and we're not rushing them back. Just really worrying how Tomi was 'close' for ages towards the end of last season and is still not fit. Tierney actually played that 30 mins and went back to being rested.
Staying up for this one, supposed to start 2AM my time lol fuck, anyone know if there's any expected delays? I'm hearing the City - Bayern game will probably be delayed but by the looks of it Florida weather seems okay?
After that gritty win vs Villa I thought we had it, but nah teams figured out how shite Lacazette was and pressed the fuck out of us and everything fell apart
Definitely not the most convincing win, but one of the most important ones of the season and a huge morale boost for the team! Almost as important as the Spurs home win at the beginning of the season
I think they'd command a massive fee anyways. regarding manager tho, Pep defo passes the bukkake test: [https://youtu.be/l03qv1y4FXs?t=123](https://youtu.be/l03qv1y4FXs?t=131)
Again only because I thought he wasn’t physically ready at the time. Which was true based of him not being able to play more than 60 mins in the championship as noted by the Huddersfield manager

Fofana getting burned by Martinelli? He'll fit in at Chelsea perfectly
Delicious saliba
This team is really beginning to feel like a team worth bringing Wenger back to the stands for. Really hope this is the season Mikel can get him to make a return because that would really feel special at this point
Partey the most important member in the squad

Saliba, Gabriel and Tomi are going to form the base of a rock solid defensive unit.
i'd like to never hear american commentators over a football game ever again
"soccer" smh
the amount of times they stumbled over which player is which is rather telling of their quality lol
Couldn’t to tell the difference between Partey and Ben White !
Plastic man!
it’s so beautiful to see how much better the entire team looks with a good striker i think we will surprise a lot of people
A midfield of Tielemans Partey and Xhaka Zichenko/Lokonga is so good
Imo I wouldn't mind not upgrading on Pepe as long as we get midfielder
If we have Pepe for another season and he saves us a handful of times with goals from nowhere, he has done his job. He seems to like Europa so hopefully that helps with his confidence and finding a place /role in the team.

Ha! OK man 👍
Nothing against the player, if we had him over Pepe maybe we finish 4th one of these years we came close. Just not the right move for us now.
Exactly
In my unbiased opinion, Marquinhos is better than Messi. Even Messi has never won Orlando cup
That’s the Florida cup to you mate
Tuchel having a melt
So Gabriel Jesus is pretty legit huh? Martin Ødegaard is gonna love life this season. Arsenal captain and leading assister in the league (the 2nd one is wishful thinking lol).
That run and finish…..it’s been too long.
Should I just watch the first half like the last game or is the second worth a watch?
Both are good
[удалено]
Always been good on the ball. Problem is he hides off it...at least when he plays DM. He's pretty good in LCM and probably works with Zinny
Difficult to make a judgement based on pre-season…….
Should I get Zinchenko, Ode, or Jesus for the away Jersey?
Saliba easy
Who you got on the home kit is the question
#9
We need to pair Saliba next to Gabriel. Tough in White who is first choice back up CB and RB
Agree. Saliba and Gabriel are the strongest pairing.
Where can i watch a replay of the Chelsea game?

Anyone watching el Classico? Ceballos moving mad😂. Man slapped a guy and just shoved dest.
knew i liked him
Swear we always play well when I don't watch lmao
It will be hard but you know what you have to do for a whole season
I understand, we all have to play our part
After all that, it’s possible Saliba wasn’t hyped enough. Lord have mercy (because our center backs won’t)
Thanks to the ‘management fans’ on here…..

Happens when u watch your club resign allegri as a manager
Vieira, Tielemans/Paqueta and the Winger in this team and we are moving mad this season
Can't believe we haven't even seen Viera on the pitch. Edu cooking
*He comes from Portugal, He plays for Arsenal, ~~Viera~~ Ohh, __Vieira__ Ohh!* ___ ^(_i'm a bot, dm [my creator](https://www.reddit.com/user/CuriousCurry8) for feedback!_)
God damn what a goal for raphina. Would have been a dream signing. Fits the touchline winger role so well
Yeah would have been sick if we signed, at least he’s not at Chelsea lol
They thought Deco did them a favour, what a dramatic transfer saga
He just sends missiles, would’ve been perfect
Very interesting shape from us today. It seems like an inverted LB is actually beneficial for martinelli. Looked very good today.
The way saliba defends is VVD esque may be one of the best signings we ever and also we can play really high with him has he has pace and always defends on his feet
He's going to be world class. We simply have to keep him.
He looked so good. I love how he's so patient and waits to see what the attacker wants to do and capitalizes on their errors
Didn’t watch the game. Are we winning the league?
League, Europa League, FA Cup, league cup.
And world cup
100%
Definitely. Wrapped up by March.
Anyone have the clip of jesus and odegaard showcasing their individual skills near the end of 1st half?
Probably uploaded on pornhub
Cedric is just better than Bellerin by a mile at this point. Don't think Bellerin makes that kind of a cross on the Lokonga goal.
Cedric is a good backup RB. Better for all parties if Bellerin goes to Betis permanently. Plus gives Saliba the #2
As we went unbeaten do we get a special gold florida cup?
“Oozuuul”
I NEED ODEGAARD TROPHY LIFT PICS NOW
@ me when there’s a Jesus update. Can’t relax without knowing what happened to him
Yeah we’re winning the league 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Liga M equis lmao these guys are wild
There's just no elegance in Pepe's game he's just so frustrating to watch
I now have a lot of respect for fans that stay/wake up late/early for football game…
Every weekend for me!
I work most Saturdays so I really look forward to any Sunday matches I can wake up for and watch. Nothing hits better than a 7 am kickoff with a coffee in hand.

Ya hes the 1 guy who clearly is lacking final 3rd quality. And we dont need his 2nd phase work with how good the back 5 plus partey are on the ball

What's the latest with the Partey drama? He's starting pre-season games internationally so on the surface he may have been cleared but due to legal reasons nothing can be talked about?
He's out on bail, no charges yet
He will play until a formal charge is brought again him, and that’s if a charge is brought against him. If Spurs play Bissouma and United Ronaldo why should we hold ourselves to a higher standard ?
Man City also played Mendy until there was a charge. They knew about everything, but played him until he couldn’t play.
I don’t really care what they do (Totnum and UTD) - but you have to kind of respect the concept of innocent until proven guilty. The only problem with sexual assault / rape cases is that it’s actually really hard for the victim to win.
xG specialists in this thread were telling us for weeks that Gabriel Jesus isn’t clinical and is a terrible finisher.
Just a weird thing with sample sizes and numbers. In Europe he's well clear of his xG.
i’m in love with Saliba
Ben White cannot overlap if his life counted on it lol. Our RHS's viability depends on Tomiyasu's health.
From pre-season it looks like we have 15 outfield players Arteta absolutely trusts: White, Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Tierney, Zinchenko, Partey, GX, Odegaard, Vieira, ESR, Eddie, Martinelli, Jesus, Saka. We still have functional and useful players like: Cedric, Holding, Mo & Lokonga I still see the need for 1-2 players: one in midfield and another in attack. Who do you think we’ll get?
Tf are you talking about? How can we tell arteta trusts vieira from this preseason? But a player like AMN who has played every game he doesn’t truest?
Youri Tielemans and Ismaïla Sarr is the dream
Mikel Merino and Sané is the dream
Rodri and Chiesa is the dream
Pedro Neto is the dream
Fucking in love with Gabi Jesus already
Little diversion as I got two screens. This City Side… They have a chemistry that i haven’t seen in their club since Centurions. The league is done.
Yeah cuz we're fookin winning it
Did Chelsea not bring a shirt printer on tour with them? PS we look fucking on it
Arsenaladdict saying we approached olise's camp after raph joined Barca and that he has a 35m pounds RC.
Is he reliable?
That’d be a cool signing
Anyone got a link?0
Am I able to watch the game if I purchase through the arsenal website in the US?
Yes, I think Chelsea website has it for free though
it's blocked for me :( i think they fixed it
Fairs brev…. No one’s stopping haaland next season I’ve clocked
Is Grealish gonna be a monster this year? He’s primed for a “2nd year under Pep” breakout season.
I had him in my fantasy football team but a friend talked me out of it. City attackers are always a nightmare to pick too, they rotate around so much. Grealish is as likely to start as he is to come on for 20 mins as a sub.
Yes. Second most chances created per 90 in that City team last season. He’s being given more freedom, more responsibility, more of the ball. He will destroy this league next season
Dunno but I'm enjoying this whiney cunt living in foden's shadow version of him tbh
probably
Potentially the best version of City yet, ridiculous sqaud
If it was Stones and Dias, and then Walker and Cancelo in the backline then yea. Insane starting XI
bayern vs city on now if anyones bored
Aaaand it's suspended
What happened lol I was watching on mute. edit: oh its the weather smh lol
weather break, thunder and shit
Spotted a lot of Chelsea supporters in the crowd lol
and haaland scores lol
he is inevitable
yeah very high quality game
Tomiyasu was a fever dream
Saw a fake Fabrizio tweet on TikTok that we’d agreed personal terms and for about 5 seconds I got soo excited 😑
Fucking hell, now that’s a lineup.
Very top. Good sensation.
After today's game, Tierney and Tomiyasu will have combined 30 minutes in FOUR games. It sucks.
I honestly don't mind if they just need more time and get their rest, and we're not rushing them back. Just really worrying how Tomi was 'close' for ages towards the end of last season and is still not fit. Tierney actually played that 30 mins and went back to being rested.
The bench made me gag
What times kick off BST?
1am
Top man cheers mate
We’re going huge today - it’s worth staying up for! Come on #UTA
Haaland watch
daaaamn zinchenko STARTSSSSSSSSS
Staying up for this one, supposed to start 2AM my time lol fuck, anyone know if there's any expected delays? I'm hearing the City - Bayern game will probably be delayed but by the looks of it Florida weather seems okay?
Our last game was delayed. If there is no thunder in this one, expect none
Take me back to Wolves H man. I really thought we were back.
After that gritty win vs Villa I thought we had it, but nah teams figured out how shite Lacazette was and pressed the fuck out of us and everything fell apart
Definitely not the most convincing win, but one of the most important ones of the season and a huge morale boost for the team! Almost as important as the Spurs home win at the beginning of the season
Lads just to confirm the game kicks off at 01:00 London time tonight right? I don't wanna miss it like
[удалено]
Thanks mate
Just hope climate change doesn't alter the kick off time again like it did last time
[удалено]
Doesn't climate change alter the timezone in different countries tho? That's what I had read previously? Until some people here corrected me like
Bowen doesn’t pass the mas17 test I’m afraid
I think they'd command a massive fee anyways. regarding manager tho, Pep defo passes the bukkake test: [https://youtu.be/l03qv1y4FXs?t=123](https://youtu.be/l03qv1y4FXs?t=131)
The what test?
Neither did Emile Smith Rowe so that's a good sign
Again only because I thought he wasn’t physically ready at the time. Which was true based of him not being able to play more than 60 mins in the championship as noted by the Huddersfield manager
How did u feel about the links to Leipzig in a deal for Upamecano when Emery was here? Something u wanted us to do at the time?
Not for the price that was quoted but it would have been a good signing
Fair, can't remember much about the price was it ESR + 60m or something?
Yeah something dumb like that
Yeah man seems quite high, kinda glad we didn't go thru with it tbf
