Indeed, pre season games are for getting players fit. Far to many are going overboard over a game that really does not matter.

Pre season training is for getting fit without straining any muscles and picking up silly injuries.
What the fudge is going on really? Its embarrassing how many injuries we have.
And who bright idea was it to go play on horrible pitches in Hong Kong and Monaco?

We picked up one injury in Monaco.
We picked up one injury in Hong Kong too.
It's not the pitches that have us currently so far down on our first eleven.

I'll never forget when we won all our pre-season games in 2006 and lost 2-0 at Bolton on the opening day.
From that point on I never again gave a brick about pre-season results, as much as I was still intrigued by performances of new signings or my favoured players. In fact, I kind of prefer having a rubbish pre-season results wise.

I have the exact same attitude. I think it was the season before last where we had an atrocious pre-season and then quite a good start. The results are absolutely meaningless, fitness and the squad getting used to the departures and arrivals is far more important.
There is a long way to go before the season starts. After the Confed Cup Soldado and Paulinho need resting rather than playing. We don't want them to burn out in Feb/March and continue the run of late-season collapses to the Gooners. They have plenty of training sessions to gel with the players, plus the friendly against Espanyol. And I'm sure they will have plenty of small scale and maybe even some 11-a-sides in training.
Not sure how much more prepared we could be considering two of our signings had an international comp this summer, with both players' teams reaching the final.

Pre season, unless you are getting totally out done in all games I am easy going with them
Players are not silly, its tough to get them up for these games and they all know the importance once the season starts, therefore you will see a more committed/ruthless player on the first day of the season than you would in any pre season game.
Fitness, bedding in new players and trying out new things, regardless of the results

Chadli was 21. Kane something like 39.
