Anyone know who is televising it?

Anyone know who is televising it?

I can only find spurs play or Paramount+ in the states

Would a healthy loss be a bad thing here? Although Levy not one to hit the transfer market on the back of a friendly result.

Could be painful with no no10.

Nope we always have to beat those clams

There is an absolute brick load of Arsenal shirts around. Think we will be heavily outnumbered. Should outsing them through.

I like the look of the line up

and we still have udogie, maddison, solanke and kulusevski to call on (some day)

 

[Chrissivad]

Good to see Maddison on the bench so he might be called on today.

Kudus and Odobert down the wings should at least pose questions for their defence. Having players on both sides who can (try to) take on their man is a pleasing option to have.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Will be good to see how we stack up. More pressure than a normal pre-season friendly, but also doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. Looking for some possitive patterns of play and closing down against one of the best teams. I'm not too bothered by it being the goons (probably would be moreso if we were the favorites!).

It is all about development at this stage of the season.

 

[Gutter Boy]

I like that team.

We're compensating for having two #8s (Sarr and Bergvall) and no #10, by playing our two creative WFs (Kudus and Odobert) together.

[NickTB]

Funky new numbers

 

[Sandman]

yeah they were on instagram, kind of nice but a bit much lol

 

[Yiddo]

3 shots and 71% possession for Arsenal in the first 5 minutes. Sounds like a fun game.
