Well we have started shit. 3 minutes in and chelsea all over us.
Horrendous first touch from Bramall.
Niles :doh: passes it straight to William putting him one on one. Should be 1-0 down.
Willian :haha:
What a miss.
We are continuing with that ludicrous tactic of allowing acres on the flanks. Makes defending almost impossible if the wide man is any good. It's a mystery why Wenger can't see this.
Other teams that play three at the back dont seem to have this issue nearly as badly as we do. I wish our manager wasnt so tactically inept.Quote:

Wake up Mesut.
The pitch looks awful. WTF? Bidding 100 mill quid for every PL has-been but they can't afford a bit of grass?
Ramsey rubberlegs.
Awful from Ramsey. Had to go with the other foot.
Ospina. :bow:
Pedro. :lol:
No movement from Lacazette. Always coming back towards the ball. With a player like him you'd think he'd be off the minute we get possession. Surely he can't have been Wengerised this rapidly? Put it down to him finding his feet, but I hope this isn't what he has been instructed to do.
Ospina smashes some chav up. Shame.
Pedro :haha:
Ospina first took him down with a punch, then he followed through with knees. Knocked him sparko.
Ospina is so dodgy.
Also what's with the Chinese medical team coming out in their hospital whites!
That's the organ appropriation unit.Quote:

Double save from Ospina to deny Willian and Moses.
Disallowed goal for Batshit :lol:
Ospina saves twice.
Very illustrative how the chavs (or any normal team) can break through the middle using pace. We get the ball and slow it all down. That removes all options and leaves us with that plodding passing trying to break down a comfortable defence. Seasons of doing this now and Wenger still has to notice.
Chav goal disallowed. Clearly we're the inferior team here, mainly because we have NO tactics other than pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass...
All over us. So much space for them as per usual.
Chavs inject a bit of pace again and waste our defence. They should have scored there, but these PL players are of a very low standard.
Willian scores. It has been coming.
0-1 Willian.
chavs score - Willian.
Straight through the middle again. Bit of pace, bit of movement, simple really. Rapid movement towards the opposition goal. The thing we refuse to do. Lacazette will be a complete waste of money - because of Wenger.
2-0. So easy. Brammal somehow manages to lose posession, they walk through our defense and a nice easy free shot for them.
0-2 Batshit. :lol:
We are in for another rough season if these past two games are anything to go by.
2-0
This time down to our careless passing - which we have also been excellent at over the last few seasons.
ZERO indication here that Wenger has learned or changed a single thing.
Should have been 3. We have fallen to pieces. 11 individuals out there with no team structure, no tactics, nothing. Just how Wenger likes it. He'll be pleased.
Hit it first time there Ramsey, tight angle as it is.
Wenger needs to be sacked at HT. How obvious does it need to be?
Ne-erdowells led by an incompetent should not shock anyone with defeat to a good opposition. Its gonna be a long season chaps.
0-2 HT. :lol:
HT
A nothing performance, even for a friendly.
Wenger showing us again why he should have gone this summer. Defence all over the place, midfield ponderous and sideways, zero, zero, zero up front.
I really hope Lacazette is just off form because he looks very, very ordinary.
We have the players to play a fast counter attacking game but it seems wenger drills it in our players to play slowly. It is why we need a player like giroud up front, because by the time we get the ball to the opponents area their whole team is back defending. Fucking painful to watch at times.
Wenger obviously believes, after all this time, that patient probing in an attempt to string together 793,292 moments of technical brilliance and walk the ball into the net is what will prevail over the course of the season. The evidence comprehensively disputes him, but that's probably because we haven't tried it for enough seasons yet.Quote:

Bif not even on the teamsheet, Wenger wants him on anyway. Misprint on the teamsheet supposedly.
We are having problems making subs. maybe Wenger wants to play 12 v 11
Conte agrees to allow Bif on. Close call. We were almost denied the opportunity to witness the maestro in action. Coquelin, Kos, Elneny and Welbeck all on too.
