Well Done Gunners!!!!!! The tourney was good and the mix of players was even better. The league of coarse is different so I wouldn`t look at Chels ,MUTD, Pool , City or even Spurs losing a few of their preseason matches as failures nor is our wins. The purpose is for clubs to get the team in the direction to assemble their best option for the season. Frimpong and Wilshire did great and deserve a few minutes in games. Song and Fab is miles better and more effective then those two . Yes, I have concern for the back not reading or anticipating each other marking.
If I`m honest.... and deep ...deep inside you would agree. If we took our chances and scored 3 or 4 more goals. Do you think teams will try to score or try to defend more?
I have a major concern,we pass the ball very well effortless it`s the final ball that makes all the passing a dud. Example can we agree theo is lost after passing the last player? Why is it that no player knows where he is placing the ball to? Who in the ham-sandwich try to lob a 6'5" Keeper

not once but twice. Theo doesn`t cross the ball even with Chamack the air-bender in the box. The defense wasn`t really poor just unlucky w/ the ball getting loose in front of a player. Djour made a mistake that he`ll do on the average 3x in the game. He does not mark well even though he`s a strong lad but his fellow backs need to know each other strength . Gibbs was caught up too far and kos try to cover his end and normally Song comes back to cover kos position allowing 2 at the back on fast breaks. So, Celtic did well to get that goal just like any other team would of done. Set-pieces are everyones weakness if the ball is in the perfect spot like the AC Milan game. There isn`t much you could do just hope he knocks it out instead of in lol .
IMO the defense needs more competition just as we have in the mids. Clichy/gibbs/traroe (Im happy) Eboue/Sagna (Im happy) kos/Vermaelen/Djour (needs more) Almunia/Fabinski/Mannone ( 1 gk) So to worry for the obvious in defense is too easy for the lack of players in the CB position and not enough quality in goal maybe. My attention would be at crossing the ball even though Theo made 2 assist. He had loads of possession of the ball in the final touches . If he can improve instead of kick n hope we can be in a better position ,because atm I rather persie plays on the wing.
Well Done Gunners!!!!!! keep on Filling that trophy cabinet lads!
