Pre-Season 16/17

At this rate the team for Liverpool is going to be:


Which is a bit lacking

Well, depends on who Liverpool put out too.

Wilshere's back:



Joel Campbell trained as well.

An Arsenal XI is playing Boreham Wood today. Team:

Virginia; Eyoma, Pleguezuelo, De Graca, Pileas; Kamara, Bennacer; Mourgos, Dasilva, Malen; Nketiah

De Graca?????

Pileas????

Mourgos???


what is this

Kids from the U18s, filling in for some of the U21s who will travel to Lens. Mourgos is pretty decent from what I've seen of him.

All these teams playing friendlies ffs. When will it be our turn


Hope we see the likes of Walcott, Wilshere, Oxlade etc against Lens.

Drogba is in the MLS all star team to play us lmfaoooo

Oh dear

Hope Ashley Cole is in it too.

MLS All Star squad to play Arsenal on the 28th:

Goalkeepers: David Bingham (San Jose Earthquakes), Andre Blake (Philadelphia Union)

Defenders: Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), Steve Birnbaum (D.C. United), Laurent Ciman (Montreal Impact), Andrew Farrell (New England Revolution), Liam Ridgewell (Portland Timbers), Keegan Rosenberry (Philadelphia Union), Brandon Vincent (Chicago Fire), Kendall Waston (Vancouver Whitecaps FC)

Midfielders: Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Mauro Diaz (FC Dallas), Giovani dos Santos (LA Galaxy), Jermaine Jones (Colorado Rapids), Kaká (Orlando City SC), Sacha Kljestan (New York Red Bulls), Darlington Nagbe (Portland Timbers), Andrea Pirlo (New York City FC), Wil Trapp (Columbus Crew SC)

Forwards: Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC), Didier Drogba (Montreal Impact), Sebastian Giovinco (Toronto FC), Cyle Larin (Orlando City SC), Ignacio Piatti (Montreal Impact), David Villa (New York City FC), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)

Cech back as well.

Cazorla injured (achilles). Doubt for Liverpool.

Missing all our best players for the start of the season

Will any senior player play tomorrow?

Squad hasn't been announced yet, but the following have been in training for nearly two weeks now:

Martinez, Chambers, Gabriel, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Coquelin, Elneny, Wilshere, Chamberlain, Gnabry, Iwobi, Walcott, Akpom

Campbell joined up at the start of the week, so he should be there too.

Cech and Xhaka started today. Wouldn't expect them in the squad.

Pleguezuelo, Bielik, Zelalem, Willock, Mavididi, Nelson and a couple other youngsters have trained too.

The players missing are:

Cazorla (injury), Alexis (holiday/injury), Bellerin, Ramsey, Ozil, Kosicelny and Giroud

We best see players not gassed at 40th min tomorrow. Fitness level needs to be 80% at least

Our match against MLS is at 1am while the Chivas match is at 2am.

Front of the kit looks a bit... weird.

Looking at our squad at Lens today, we seem to be building up on the deadwood again

Very disjointed performance

Well its the first game of preseason..

Bad mistake from Chambers. Guy can't afford many of those this pre-season.

It's been scrappy from us. Lots of closing down but not much organisation.

Can't wait for Twitter to explode when we lose this game.

Chambers isn't a LCB tbh.


don't really care about the result as much but the fitness looks shit.

Walcott working hard though. Just need a bit of luck.

Macey, Bielik, Gibbs, Campbell, Gnabry and Ox on at half-time.

Bielik playing CB, Iwobi CM and Campbell 10. Theo down the middle. Chambers playing RB instead of Debuchy.
