Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [10th - 12th August 2018]

What's Cech doing?

re Sterling, tbf he normally can't shoot to save his life. I've said before, I've never seen a top level footballer that struggles to strike a football as much as Sterling does. That shot is one in a hundred for him.

 

[explicit4u]

What on earth is Cech doing there, if he continues diving with his arms out thats an easy save.

We looked okay for about 10minutes but as soon as City start playing we retreated. Same old same old

He sees it late to be fair to him but he goes to dive and then changes his mind. Mind boggling.

 

[Steedie]

Cech is a liability these days

 

[Kerplunk]

Is Cech ok??

 

[opethdisciple]

Arsenal don't look composed in the final third.

Early days.

 

[doodah]

I did chuckle when I saw a 'rumour' Chelsea might resign him .

 

[BaZ87]

Only other keeper I've seen do that is Karius. To be fair, Karius done it from a goal kick.

Arsenal don't look any different to last season.

In what universe is this team going to change after a few weeks of preseason? It's going to take months.

Give it a chance ffs, it’s his first game and it’s agajnst the team that are gonna walk the league this season.

Will get worse before it gets better. It's such a Wenger squad and no other manager plays that way these days.

Did anyone expect anything else in all seriousness ? As Neville said he'll need a few transfer windows to sort Arsenal out.

 

[explicit4u]

Yep it's still early days, it's going to take a lot longer than 2 months to instil a new style and mentality.

Both our LBs are out injured and our DM is 19 and his last professional game was in the French 2nd division.

What happened to the momentum from the friendly wins?

Signing players that take them to the next level would help...they didnt. Lichtsteiner coming on says a lot...he'll get rinsed here.

 

[Mark1989]

Lol its first game, if arsenal expected instant change there just deluded.

Wenger was there for so long all the players and even youth know his way and nothing else, it will take time.

 

[robfosters]

What happened to the momentum from the friendly wins?

We drew two of them

 

[Jimbeam3678]

What happened to the momentum from the friendly wins?

Go on Andy! Brutal!

 

[opethdisciple]

Whenever the ball goes forward Arsenal are living on a knife edge. Shot 50/50 chance of scoring for City.
