  Van persie missed a good chance

  0:0 First half

• Berth

  The team in the first half was too cautious for my liking; Diaby should not be an Arsenal player, Bedtner was a waste in the wide position, V.P is proven more of a deficient striker; finding it difficult to control balls and making wrong decisions between shooting and placing; well Song thinks the midfield is his fathers Lounge and Arshavin;I hope he is reserving his strength for the start of the season. So far I have been impressed with Djourou, Ebuoe and Clichy; others have been playing like hunters.

  Eduardo, Walcott, Wilshere and Ramsey on for 2nd half.

  very dissapointed in the second half with the team as a whole. but credit to ramsey and wilshere who tried to spring some life back into the team…

• Kuka

  …we were well beaten. The team looked tired. heavy legs. I hope Wenger does make a move for a DM. Our defense seems to be over-worked because of our loose offensive nature of our mid-field. I hope Fabianski, Van Parsie, Gallas and Clichy are all OK. They seemed to struggle after getting knocks here and there…

  Let the new season begin..

• Berth

  That’s a very good score – take off song and we concede 2 goals; not that Song was very good, but at least he was slightly effective. And whoever was suggesting Wilshere taking Rosicky’s position has to question his sanity; Overall as a fan I would want us to win all the matches we play, but I have to admit that this one is a lesson I hope we benefit from. But first Wenger should get us a DMF, CD and a striker, we are too old a club to be playing like this.

  jesus we were awful

  Nice coach Unai Emery, will be soon in premier leage as ex-coach of valencia Benitez

  i hope wenger wakes up to the realization that we will end this season empty handed if he doesnt do anything about the defensive midfield position. song puts in a lot of mileage but needs help big time…ramsey still too raw for big games…not there yet. merida was light weight. diaby was abysmal what was he thinking when he was through on goal…

  too much pressure on the defense partly b’cos there was no sustained attacking threat and the midfield cover fell apart was song was taken off (admittedly he was tiring and started committing unecessary fouls…can’t fault song for endeavour

  the whole team was off pace today…

• Yemi

  all the way with u kodjo

• Gooner Get Ya

  I’m drunk… He he he hic!!! Pre-season sucks t
  lets get going. Lets forget tonight. We will kick some scouse but

• jeffvip

  Yea, I’m so glad we lose this match as you can learn more from losing than winning I guessed. Is time for new signing….

• dave

  its never ever good to lose even friendlys wenger has got to take his blinkers off and get a midfielder and a defender or we are not going to have a good season far to lightwieght in midfield and at the back spend some cash wenger stop being so tight

  I missed the game because of work. Were we really that bad?? I can’t comment too much about it, but it seems we hit a low point, whether we didn’t turn up or all out tactics were wrong. I hear Bendtner was playing out wide alot? If true, I am starting to despise seeing him in the position, I think he is really inefective ineffective out there. Certain players need to concentrate on what they are good at and where they should be. To me, he should not be out wide, he should play straight down the middle and start learning to recieve them balls over the top or through along the ground. He will find himself relegated to the bench alot or started over, and in that case his morale and performances will start to drop, especially if he doesnt start getting on the scoresheet. Walcott said (again) we need to start winning games dirty. That is a true statement if ever. I don’t like seeing our beautiful game questioned in any sense. But there is a lack of will and desire sometimes when I watch us play. Yes, we play because we Love to play the beautiful game, but the desire and fire and win at all cost attitude isn’t present when we need it. Don’t get me wrong, when we are in a good position and winning clearly, obviously it doesnt matter, but when the pressure is against us and/or we goal a goal or two down, we need to find it in our selves to turn up the heat and ground out some kind of fight back. This is where from Captain to Vice Captain, experienced to inexperienced and accomplished player to new signing have to pull together. Forget the one-man type player.. the “General” the team has to be the whole Army and fight together.. from the back to the front and get in to the game. I look at squad, I see a couple of players who will take it upon themselves for that fight.. the rest of the team need to get their act together, pull their socks up and get down to some serious business or it will be a disappointing season for us, new signings or not. I know they are capable.. more than capable of doing it. Just depends how much they Really want it. Come on boys, do it for US!!!!

  Gooner Til I Die!

  This is getting really fustrating. As much as i love and respect wenger, he has got to be the slowest guy to react on earth. How many times does he need to see something not work before he fixes it? unreal.
  Silvestre, not good enough, liability. Get rid, bring in hangeland.
  Bentner, really not sure he can cut it for a team that wants to win the league. Maybe as a 4th or 5th choicer, but nothing more.

  we need a striker, DM and a CB. I know that, everyone else knows that, what are we waiting for? Does he want Hangeland or not? surely he knows by now. Don’t be surprised to see M City sign him up while wenger decides whether or not to get him.

• Pete

  Wasn’t the best pre-season game we’ve seen from the lads. The first half wasn’t so bad, we reached half time 0-0, it was the second half that really undid us, which coincidentally was also where we brought on all our youngest and least match-fit players.

  Song wasn’t too bad in his defending midfield role. He did make a few wayward tackles and gave away a few free kicks, but that comes with the territory of playing that position. It’s a thankless job where good work tends to go unnoticed and mistakes are magnified. Where I was disappointed though was with Diaby. I was kind of looking forward to seeing how these guys might pair up in their DM roles, but Song seemed to be baring most of the defencive work.

  For his first game I thought Theo didn’t do badly, and looks far more effective in a more central role. On first viewing I actually thought his shot at goal went in.

  Traore seems much better going forward than back defending, and with Nasri and Rosicky both out, he might have a chance to fill in for them there.

  But overall the goals we conceded were preventable and the chance we had should have been buried, so it does feel like a missed oppertunity.
