4th choice keeper. Put him as number 2.

One criticism of Hudson-odoi, he needs to occupy the half space much more then he does right now.

Moses urgh

I'm being serious now, would Bulka really be any worse than Caballero? He has shown composure, strength and good judgement during pre season, it's been the opposite with Caballero.

Caballero is an excellent sweeper. Much better than Tibo. If we want that Caba is our best bet.

No he is not worse than Caballero. Caballero should not be in our squad after last season and the WC.

Loftus Cheek......

He's far from excellent at it. I have seen him make a ton of mistakes or panic when he is asked to do it.

In this match he was shaky with ball at his feet

In the game for Argentina yes. Otherwise he is very calm with the ball like Luiz.

He has far too many mistakes in him to be trusted to do that job. You only had to look at the Croatia game to see it in full flow 

Bulka!!!!!!! 

1-1 Lacazette

It's not just one game he has loads of high profile errors 

We have some very good young players at this club. Christensen, Ampadu, Bulka, Hudson-Odoi, Loftus-Cheek. Now they just need time to show what they can do.

Penalties again then, I hate them.

Second half has been sh*t stopped passing the ball and dropped deep.

Loftus-Cheek wasted the 3 v 2, now it's 1-1.

F**k off

its just preseason but holy sh*t you gotta close out the damn match boys....

We wasted 10000 chances in the first half. 

summing up - much like the last game - started well, looked good going forward, missed chances, faded in the second half and look really vulnerable and tired.  Still look disjointed in the middle of the park and a bit of a mess (no shape) through the middle and back when we are being attacked by the opposition running at us.  

Hopefully when Hazard and co return things will continue to improve going into the first few games.

Young hopefuls showing they can step up to the bigger arena which is a big positive, lets hope Sarri continues to have faith in them.  Looking positive for the new season...

1-1 fair result ....we had the best of the 1st half Arsenal were definitely the better side in the 2nd half

f**k

We are still a one half team and lack a killer instinct. It will take a while for Sarri to get that out of our team.

Oh well. Still work to be done.
