Arsenal -v- AC Milan (Emirates Cup)

Frisbee · 31-07-2010 3:07pm #1

Team for AC:

Fabianski

Eboué----Vermaelen----Koscielny

Gibbs

Frimpong

Nasri

Wilshere

Rosicky

Arshavin

Chamakh

Subs: Sagna, Vela, Walcott, Djourou, Clichy, Emmanuel-Thomas, Randall, Nordtveit, Szczesny.

Just a guess, Rosicky could be in the middle with Jack on the RW.

Really looking forward to this. Looking forward to seeing the two new signings and Frimpong in action. Hopefully JET gets a half hour to make an impact aswell.

anyone watching? pretty ok so far, a strong enough team for pre season

wandatowell · 31-07-2010 3:30pm

Disappointed to hear flamini being booed

Pacifico · 31-07-2010 3:33pm

Koscielny looking good so far...

Can't say I care to be honest. I wouldn't boo anybody, but I think it's fairly understandable.

very much so, i thought he did his best when he played for us. Most seasons he was played out of position, he had 1 great season in his favored position. We didnt do enough to keep him

Really? Great!

I know he's only been on a short while though!

Frisbee · 31-07-2010 3:34pm

Both sides are giving it a good go at least, looks like it will be an entertaining game.

thorbarry · 31-07-2010 3:37pm

Gibbs is lookin very good. I remember seeing him at the same tournament a few years against inter, he was great

thorbarry · 31-07-2010 3:41pm

god, i love Vermaelen

shano_88 · 31-07-2010 3:43pm

Gibbs has been very good so far as has Koscielny and Chamakh.

speedboatchase · 31-07-2010 3:52pm

Chamakh's super-greasy, receding, spiky mullet has to go...

He can keep it as long as he keeps doing that.

thorbarry · 31-07-2010 3:59pm

nice goal, very good run by Arshavin, Chamakh looks the biz down the middle

I'm gonna get one.....although I'll more resemble Kenny Powers.

Frisbee · 31-07-2010 4:04pm

That was a cracking run by Nasri, deserved a goal, how Rosicky managed to hit it straight at the keeper I don't know, he had the whole goal to aim at!

shano_88 · 31-07-2010 4:12pm

Very happy with the first half performance. Chamakh took the goal very well. Everyone seems to be performing good!

Frisbee · 31-07-2010 4:20pm

I'd like to see JET/Vela/Walcott come on for Rosicky who has done very little or Shava. Hopefullt Frimpong and Wilshere get the full game.

Wouldn't mind seeing Nordtveit at some stage either.

Leprechaun77 · 31-07-2010 4:24pm

Nasri has been playing very well pre-season....a big season ahead for him me thinks

Frisbee · 31-07-2010 4:25pm

Walcott -> Rosicky
Sagna -> Eboué
Clichy -> Gibbs

I thought Gibbs was playing very well, suprised he was taken off.

sure its not really about how good they are playing, its all about trying to get all of our players match fit. Altho i agree, gibbs was playin very good

Frisbee · 31-07-2010 4:40pm

Vela on for Shava.

They haven't a chance now.

amacachi · 31-07-2010 4:53pm

Poor.

everdead.ie · 31-07-2010 4:54pm

Good cross from Seedorf put it where Fabianski couldn't get it

31-07-2010 4:55pm

awful goal to let in

Minstrel27 · 31-07-2010 4:56pm

Dreadful goal to leave in.

amacachi · 31-07-2010 4:56pm

Randall is Arsenal through and through on that evidence.

Frisbee · 31-07-2010 4:57pm

I knew as soon as Seedorf hit it it was a goal, absolutely brilliant ball into a dangerous position.

Indeed, how did he miss?

Arsenal1986 · 31-07-2010 5:01pm

Difference between Randall and Wilshere and Ramsey is immense.

Vela playing well

Frisbee · 31-07-2010 5:02pm

I'm suprised Randall is still there tbf, I thought he would be gone to someone in League 1 at this stage.

31-07-2010 5:10pm

A: We REALLY need a keeper. One the defence are scared of.

B: Walcott. I don't get it, I always thought he could come good, but he is rubbish. Not a footballer.

C: Even though that was a second string side, I can't see us doing anything this year, especially if we dont sort out the defence. Ugh.

IvySlayer · 31-07-2010 5:12pm

Not a bad game for a friendly! Zambrotta unlucky towards the end!

Pacifico · 31-07-2010 5:15pm

Thought walcott played well on the right, poor when he had to play up front though

DB10 · 31-07-2010 5:18pm

Poor stuff second half. All 3 CB's played today as well..
Hope Lansbury and Eastmond play tomorrow.

Thought the booing of Flamini was retarded but there you go typical of many of our fans. We used to treat returning players with respect.

Only the ones who treated the club and fans with respect. When he started moaning in the press that he wasn't getting his game and said he'd talked to his lawyer about a move he lost that respect. Little primadonna who got ideas above his station imo.

Frisbee · 31-07-2010 7:27pm

I'd still have him back in a second though.

Mister men · 31-07-2010 7:36pm

Final score anyone

31-07-2010 7:37pm

1-1

Seaneh · 31-07-2010 7:46pm

What was the Milan starting team and what formation did they play?
