Nah. It was just that one move. Laughing

This is a good match. Much better intensity from the opposition, as compared to our first two matches.

Miyachi scores from the spot. Very Happy

that was a stupid pass from walcott ffs, wrong option. lucky we even got a pen

by urbaNRoots Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:07 pm

Walcott's finishing has been surprisingly bad in this pre-season.

by REWB Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:15 pm

ryo clearly lacking match fitness and sharpness after his long injury

Yeah! Should have seen the unmarked man on the other side instead of trying to slip through Giroud.

Theo has been crap since he signed his contract, forget preseason ffs. :facepalm:

Ryo looks so tired. But the talent is there, it is very evident. Give him a good 3 months and I am sure we will have at least a good winger in our ranks.

It was so obvious that he was going to play today. Probably 70 odd mins is my guess. And equally obvious that he'd take the penalty.

I like what I see, but I would rather see him and Joel Campbell going out on season long loans in the PL - teams which can give them a bucket load of playing time on a weekly basis.

by Sri Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:33 pm

Miyachi off.

Jack, Zelalem, Podolski among the names coming on.

by furiouswindbottom Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:38 pm

zelalem

Good to see him on.

Most impressive 16 yr old I've seen since Cesc.

Gifted. No doubt.

And we've got a song ready!

zelalem-doo-doo-da-doo-doo
zelalem da-doo-da-doo

by Sri Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:41 pm

Theo again not looking up in a 4-v-1. Wtf.

by Sri Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:44 pm

Just to recap:

Back 5 seems the same.

Ramsey stays on. Joined by Jack and Zelalem replacing Arteta and Rozza.

Gnabry replaces Ryo. Podolski playing CF instead of Giroud, Theo stays on the right.

by Sri Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:44 pm

Zelalem - WHAT A BALL!

Theo scores. Finally.

by REWB Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:45 pm

fck it, zelalem is the new cesc

by urbaNRoots Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:45 pm

Zelalem is ridiculously good already :bow:

by Sri Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:48 pm

Theo crosses, Gibbs volleys.

EDIT: It's not a goal. I missed that.

by Sri Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:49 pm

Easy on the Zelalem love fellows. He's brilliant, but he still has LOTS to learn. Laughing

Miquel on for Gibbs now. I still have hopes for this lad. I hope he makes it with us. But he has to learn and grow, and fast.

Don't wanna say I told you so.

New Cesc.

Put him in the team.

I'm deadly serious!

What a player!

by MarcoReus Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:50 pm

zelalem has been incredible this pre-season and his only just a kid. hope they don't rush him in first team though, he still needs to grow some size

by urbaNRoots Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:50 pm

What is going on with Jenkinson? He's been so bad in the past 2-3 games.

obviously, but he is as good as 16 y/o fab, hopefully he progresses like fab, which will be difficult but he looks humble and dedicated so i believe in him.

by REWB Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:54 pm

wait is jenkinson playing as a winger or something? wth

by since1996 Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:54 pm

Giroud, King of Pre-Season

by Sri Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:58 pm

Akpom and Aneke on for Theo and Rambo now

by Sri Mon Jul 22, 2013 12:59 pm

Podolski has moved to the left after an abysmal stint in the center. Akpom down the center. Gnabry moves right.

by REWB Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:00 pm

see how when arteta comes off the balance just completely goes. we need a dm desperately lol
