Charity shield August 1

Wanted us to win, I'm disappointed with Hazard's performance, also with Willian's. A lot of mistakes, I hope we will start the PL with a better football. Remy did more than Falcao, Falcao showed nothing. 

 

Anyways, we've a long season in front of us, this lose means nothing, only for Wenger and his club. We've have two meetings against them, Jose will prepare an answer!

Well that was embarrassing. Jose was far too casual for this game. The players didn't turn up. No matter what some people might say it does matter. The players should be ashamed of that "performance".

 

They should be ashamed? Chill out.

The same outcome as many of us have predicted since season end and even before.

We need someone beside Matic. Vidal would have been perfect. Veratti is a player too.

We need a right sided attacker as Willian looks very uncomfortable there and Oscar has stagnated massively over the last year. No progression whatsoever.

I also think Dave has to move to right back and a left back signed. Dave done nothing wrong but each season Ivan is regressing and it's painful to watch.

Address these and we will spank this league again. We have Jose and could win the league with this team, however it won't be anywhere near last season and we all know it.

 

pretty much agree with this - I fear we've not found the couple of players who'd have helped address the weaknesses in the squad that were apparent last season. Looks like our first 11 are going to play an awful lot of football again

Despite it just being a glorified friendly, that performance wasn't up to scratch and the fact we start the season in a weeks time is the most worrying.

Hard to take any positives other than fitness, Willian was class, Tibo had some good saves, but suspect with the ball at his feet though.

We are further behind arsenal in terms of fitness and preparations which has to be taken in to account.

We'll need to improve for next week though to hit the ground running!

Well that was a great idea selling them cech wasn't it?

They could have had pretty much anyone in goal and gotten a clean sheet. Couldbt get antything on target today

Our real rivals (city) will also have to face him this season...every cloud and all that

Well, we lost another community shield match, starting to stack up now. I don't think we were terrible, i don't think we were great either, to be honest we should have taken it to pens at least. Some players look a lot more ready for the season than others which is the biggest concern. Fabregas looked well off the pace today, he was very slow and misplaced a fair few passes and set pieces. Willian looked dangerous today for us and was our MOTM and i think he was the overall MOTM too. Ramires played well as well. Falcao didn't impress, it's very early days though, but it just felt like i was watching Torres. Hopefully it was just a one off for us. The 2 biggest things missing from our game right now is tempo and end product, hopefully that returns against Swansea.

 

Another friendly in midweek and then the season can really begin.

I don't get how you can be so relaxed at losing a cup to Arsenal? Personally I hate us losing to arsenal. Sorry if you guys think it's ok but I can't stand it.

I don't think we've seen enough of Falcao to judge him yet, I still think he can go on to be good back up to Costa. We played failry well second half, but had no end product, still it's only the community shield, it would have been nice to win it but it's no big deal, time to move on and look ahead to the first proper game of the season.

I'm not too worried, thought we'd lose 2-1. We tend to play a bit meh in nothing games. Last preseason, this preseason, West Brom away... Although I do think not getting another CM is a poor strategy. I also think Ivan and Cahill are weak links.

I'm gutted, not just for losing the shield but Wenger now has that monkey off his back, people can try to dismiss it all they wants but that was huge for him.
