Can’t argue too much with those ratings. The stars of the show for me were:-
Emmanuel Frimpong
Jack Wilshire
The New Kit
Nobody had a mare and it all looked very encouraging. We do still have those sloppy moments from time to time but it wouldn’t be Arsenal without them, I guess.
Yep – Frimpong was the Daddy!
WOW WOW & WOW
FIRST HALF ANALYSIS
FRIMPONG WAS INCREDIBLE IN THE FIRST HALF. If he continues the same kind of performance in the pre-season then I want him to stay with the first team. He can be our 2nd or 3rd choice DM player
what a beast and what tackles OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD
Wilshere too was incredible. If you see the third goal you have to ask does this guy have eyes in the back of his head
Nortvedit can be a great player and versatility he provides is great
JET didnt have any impact at all
SECOND HALF ANALYSIS
Boring second half to be honest
Gibbs and Djourou looked very good for players who have been out for an entire season
Barazite, henderson, lansbury were very poor
Eastmond, chamak and Walcott very okay at best
the only good player in the second half was Nasri who had a brilliant game
oh yeah miquel was also very very good and I love it
Interesting to see that Koscielny partnered Vermaelen. Hopefully if that is going to be our first choice pairing then he keeps the two of them together to get an understanding in pre season.
I also noticed that several of our youngsters look like they have bulked up somewhat. Hopefully this is something thats been introduced into the training now because Wenger was always against it in the past.
A bit harsh on Rosicky mate.
I think Simpson’s a bit overrated, he only scored two goals because he was the striker. He made a few mistakes too.
Kind of harsh on Rosicky in my opinion but its your page. The real thing here is that Frimpong & the new shirt are absoloutly brilliant
