So we are back to proper football at last with Arsenal’s first game of the pre-season. And here is the confirmed Arsenal team…..
And what a team! Lacazette and Aubameyang up front. Cech, Bellerin, Sokratis and Mavropanos to stop them scoring, and loads of promising youngsters in the middle, including Maitland-Niles and Willock! I can’t wait to see how Osei-Tutu and Smith-Rowe and Nelson get on as well.
I know it’s not nice to predict a cricket score, but with a team like that we should score a hatful in the first half, and give everyone a rest in the second half and give everyone a game that has trained since Emery’s first session. They will all be looking to impress the new manager, and hopefully the fans as well.
Let’s start building confidence!
Onwards and Upwards!
