GOD I WANTED WENGER TO BRING ON TARORE AT LB AFTER HALF TIME BUT HE DOES 10 SUBS AND KEEPS GIBBS TO BRING ON HENDERSON AT LB LATER AND INJURE HIM NOOOES!!! STUBORN OLD MAN STRIKES AGAIN..
First half was great everyone looked awesome..2nd half awefull...Nasri sud never play from Middle again.
Dreadful game in the second half - no defence - again. Nothing new there. When will Wenger ever learn?
I also concerned about our defensive. Vermaelen is the only one who give me any confidence. Far too much we were caught at a counter.
We should lead by more goal before the second half. That's not news really.
Overall I think the first half was good and in the second half we missed the urgency.
lado, Traore was injured I believe, and not on the bench.
g00nbruver,
we won 2-1. Gervinho scored both and looked good for 30 minutes. He went off and was replaced by Ryo Miyaichi who did okay for 15 minutes, and was then replaced by Vela, who did nothing for 45 minutes.
The first half XI did well going forward. Gervinho and Walcott looked dangerous from the wings, Wilshere created well.
Defensively it was poor. Song and Ramsey gave the ball away too easily, Vermaelen and Kosielny struggled at times and Gibbs was caught out a lot. Jenkinso scored a 35 yard OG, but did okay.
Second half the defence improved (Sagna, Squillaci and Djourou came on). Going forward we lacked ruthlessness, Arshavin missed a few chances. Vela and Nasri struggled to make an impact, although Rosicky looked decent enough. Frimpong was okay in DM, niothing special.
considering we made an entire team change for the second half im not really surprised that the performance dipped
Well others have already said it but at least Jenkinson's on his way to being as good as Lee Dixon
First half team showed urgency and intent, looked dangerous everytime they attacked, fairly impressive against a Colgne side who looked intent on getting a result in front of their home fans.
Second half was played in 1st gear, very pedestrain.
Defensively, it's not pretty viewing and it's not just down to the personnel, that highline will be the death of us. I appreciate it's only a friendly, but if we defended like that against a half decent Prem team I reckon we'd half shipped at least 4 goals (seriously)!
Wenger said he's in the market for a centrehalf, not signing a good leftback on recent evidence is bordering on insanity.
Some really positive things from today though, notably in the first-half and as for the bad points, it's simply as case of "as you were"...
We went through the motions and did what we had to do. Forget our game! LAL
Who saw was a penalty or not?

Well my stream was quite blurry but it looked like a penalty to me - couldn't tell.
How did I end up here, confused.
