Both. Bosz likes to play a full offensive style (he burnt himself in many places) but Lyon's D isn't good enough except for Denayer. Marcelo is way too slow to play 1 on 1 all the time.
FBs aren't good enough except for a youngster at RB.

I like the soft sell :laugh:

Guendouzi, Saliba and Luan Peres (4M!) have been totally dominant against Villarreal. OM won but those 3 were a class above anyone.
11M option for Douzi, Saliba who will force a move out because Arteta wants him to and Peres bought for 4M. Great business OM.

Pepe has been a revelation thus far in the preseason, night and day our best player with Lacazette falling behind him at second. Chambers might seriously steal a spot into the starting XI as well.

Even Nketiah looks very good since his first game bottle job. Hard to see how much difference there is since we pretty much dominated Milwall and Elton John FC.

Defending set pieces has been atricous and I am not sure Holding has looked all too well.

Not in the squad against Chelsea today though. Joe ”7 in 7” Willock is on the bench. Elneny starts because lets not trust our high end academy talents even in pre season #f***Arteta.

Very nice. I read about it but they didn't show the goal. Thanks for sharing.

Speaking of that match, he's only 16:



Have a look @Vasilevskiy and stop worrying about Moriba.

Also, if anyone has a clip of Koeman's reaction when Riqui scored I'd appreciate. I want to verify that he wasn't sleeping.

Yes I think Gavi is a phenom. Very promising little player. Surely Koeman will be looking to sell him within a year or so.

Willock had a shot 3-4 meters over the line but it doesn’t count. No goal line technology in pre season. Denied 2 penalties for no reason, denied a clear goal because they "didn't see it"

Allowing Chelsea to kick the shit out of us without punishment three weeks before we play them in the league is not looking like a good idea right now. Spend £50m on a new mansion for Mike Riley. That's the best signing we could make. We are playing okay though. Shit defensively, but creating chances. Aubameyang has missed about 3 sitters, swap for Lautaro.

It doesn’t matter because it is pre season, but this is pretty bad
