decent shot from outside the box but the defence made no attempt to close him down. Nothing the keeper could have done.

Very poor stuff from Arsenal so far - giving the ball away far too much.

Not goalkeeping anyway. Wasn't paying enough attention, but it flew in. Maybe he was given a bit too much space to shoot, but I'm not sure.

It was neither really. TV could have closed down a little quicker but the shot was a thunderbolt from about 25 - 30 yards. Fab had no chance. Cracking strike.

See del Bosque has left Reina and Torres at home for the Mexico trip, but insists on bringing Fabregas? I bet he plays 60-90 mins too, ridiculous!

Arsenal players seem to be dropping likes flies.. Walcott and someone else there looked liked they picked up injuries. Thankfully they are ok!

He obviously intends playing him for a change..

Walcott's always been frail.

Fabianski howler, get him the fúck out now :mad::mad::mad:

adamski8

ha ha wenger giving the finger! :pac:

MementoMori

Tee hee Fabianski

Naughty Arsene giving the finger to everyone Scottish style:p

Watching this has cheered me up no end about Liverpool's prospects next weekend.

That's reassuring, I'm so pleased...

iMuse

What a shambles, conceding from a corner Fabianski far from convincing there, no mans land

MementoMori

Comedy capers at the back there

3-0 Sweet finish but hapless defending.

jesus_thats_gre

Crisis

Chamakh done well there!

L'prof

Awful defending!!!

flahavaj

Comedy stuff at the back from Arsenal- granted is only a pre season kick about but this is bad stuff.

Ye badly need an experienced GK in there to organise ye from corners.

L'prof

Chamakh attack!!!

MementoMori

Goalfest 3-1

Chamakh attack - good finish and nice ball in from Nasri

Minstrel27

It's going to be a fun day out at Anfield next week.

flahavaj

Foolishly backed Arsenal to win this - still a bit hopeful anyway at 3-1.:pac:

j14

3-1 good brave header by Chamakh. Left the keeper in a hoop.

L'prof

Have to laugh at the Liverpool fans taking comfort in this. It is worrying, but I reckon we'll get a draw at worst in Anfield!

Mister men

Lol at Arsenal defending. They need a good goalkeeper pretty badly.

I think you'll beat us to be honest.

Compared to where we were when the fixtures came out, we're about 1000% better off (keeping Torres, keeping Gerrard, signing Cole, Jovanovic looking decent, keeping Aurelio, having Masch for the moment, having Insua for the moment, getting rid of Degen)

Not expecting an easy match but at least we have some sort of decent team and looked somewhat in form against Rabots even though they were pretty much a notch up from pub team.

redzerdrog

how is chamakh doing for you so far? has he played much?
what looks like his best position??

gibson

What is going on, I know its a friendly but this is our strongest available team :eek:

If what Wenger said pre match was true that he still doesnt know who his number 1 is a week before we start the season then its complete joke! He's had long enough to sort out the keeper situation not to mention the fact we look like going into the season with only 3 senior centre backs :mad:

A lot of fans said this was an important summer for Wenger and unless he pulls a rabbit out of the hat between now and the end of the transfer window then he's definitely failed. And actually that should really be between now and next week because these possible errors could cost us points in the matches before transfer window closes

my god its frustrating being an Arsenal fan lol :rolleyes::D

If it's 4-3-3 then he's an obvious candidate for the front position but with Wenger's thinking and RVP excelling there last year, he might be in a wide role.

Based on the last year or so and the 45 minutes I just saw, I really don't want Walcott starting any games until he finds some form.

He's been totally rubbish and his one trick has been exposed as utterly useless while the opposing team aren't chasing the game.

In short and though it pains me to say this, he's a poor man's Lennon.

Got it in one.

DB10

Disgusting stuff.

Even worse is clowns like Denilson, Diaby and Almunia will be welcomed back to the side and hailed by Wenger.

Feel like throwing up....:eek:

L'prof

Thank fúck for that:

It'll catch on yet

TheSpecialOne

Three years now and still haven't sorted the goalkeeping if we played all 3 at the same time we would still concede more than other "title" challengers...if Arsene doesn't but a keeper it will cost us as we have seen in previous years and to be honest id say Wenger should feck off with them at the end of the season if he continues to support the 3 clowns.

L'prof

Double save from Szczęsny.

L'prof

Ebooooooe, 3-2.

Souless

Nice header from Eboue of all people!

gibson

whos playing defensive mid now?

Corcs001

Eboue should start ahead of Walcott.

L'prof

Should have been a pen there, Vermaelen missed the ball!

Souless

heh that was a definate peno but why was he rolling around holding his face? :rolleyes:

flahavaj

Should've been a peno there.

everdead.ie

Could of been a peno Vermaleen didnt get any of the ball even though the ball was going out anyway

L'prof

Ebooooooe 3-3!

gibson

hahah what a finish from Eboue!!!

Souless

heh showed he has better finishing than walcott to

L'prof

Gibbs 4-3.

gibson

lol our defenders are finishing better than any of our other players!!

Did Vela play that ball through?

flahavaj

Unreal! The subs have turned the game.

Souless

OHH what a finish from Gibbs that was well nice

L'prof
