Onana with a humbling lesson...

Onana with a humbling lesson...

Dalot was the main culprit by giving the ball away in that area.

Also, that was only the 2nd time he's been chipped/lobbed.

 

[Venkman]

Nice assist by Antony. Garnacho looking good. Probably the team that starts until Hojlund gets fit. Maybe Wan-Bissaka for Dalot.

Moyes is toast, but the stagnant window obviously hasn’t helped. Moyes should have been fired probably three different points last season, but I think Sullivan was waiting until the end of the season and banking on flaming out of the Conference League. The reporting was if they lost the final they would have sacked him.

But Moyes somehow scraped that trophy and optically it looked bad to fire the manager leading them to the first trophy in 40+ years. Now they’ve screwed themselves and are going to have to go dumpster diving mid-season when he goes.

Who is a realistic target for them if they sack Moyes? This late its hard to find someone available and if they did it after the Conference league who should have been the target?

Not sure. Paulo Fonseca is a guy that kept getting mentioned last season, then obviously Graham Potter was bandied about. Also Will Still. I don’t know how concrete any of that is.

I think Potter and Steidten could form a good partnership. But at this point, it’s secondary. Almost anyone would be better than Moyes on-field product and he’s already clashing with Steidten because he wants to clutch at overpriced mediocre British talent.

It is preseason and all, but Mount missed this biggest walk-in I've seen this preseason... embarrassing

2 goals for Harry so far, great cross by Maddison

 

[spintheblackcircle]

If you’re going to go, I guess a hattie is the way to go

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Make that 4 goals for Harry

Havertz is terrible lmao

 

[Evilo]

Yeah Bouanani is very good.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Arsenal wins the Community Shield on a late equalizer then 4-1 on penalties.

We'll take it.

 

[S E P H]

Havertz is terrible lmao

I get that he was asked to be #9 today which isn't his strong suit, but being outplayed by a bloke in 20 minutes of action compared to his 60 is hilarious. I honestly think that this transfer is a revenge transfer for going after Mudryk and other past targets because he is opposite of everything that Arteta is currently building. The problem is that Chelsea is going to get the last laugh in all of this. Of course they were Pejorative Slured for buying him in the first place and we look even worse for actually wanting him.

Timber is an athletic freak, he was simply amazing until he got subbed off for no apparent reason.

Tons of teams wanted Havertz when Chelsea bought him, the only reason Chelsea even got him was because of the pandemic and their post transfer ban war chest. He was considered one of the best young talents in the game when at Leverkusen.

Now I am amazed Chelsea managed to sell him to Arsenal for so much, because he had been garbage for a long time at Chelsea.

should've used the money on a clear upgrade or to bring in a youngster with upside

Timber's a perfect get, as a fullback he does everything Arteta wants out of his players. Great on the ball, reliable going forward and strong defensively.

Only one winner of the last 12 Community Shield winners has gone on to win the Premier League.

 

[Power Man]

Yeah Bouanani is very good.

Thank you for providing us a good one

In the category of non french born algerians, Bensebaini had another excellent game today for BVB

You don't have to be jealous of our community shield dynasty (5 out of the last 10).

Meh, United have 11 in the Premier League era and in side the last 13 years, are the only ones with City to have gone on to win the PL title afterwards.
