Next game: The Arsenal

[Sideshow Bob]

Can we give Nasri and clichy back to them?

Nasri needs to play in the middle or not at all.

[Beefymcfc]

Are we playing 3 at the back?

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

I hope Navas cuts that crap out in the league.

Yeah. I think it's called 'doing a Wiltshire'

What did he do, I missed it as was making a brew?

[TheReturnOfTheSpecialOne]

Anybody seen Nasri do anything useful?

Their fullback brushed his chest with his arm and he went down clutching his face.

Navas went down holding his face. Didn't look much but he stayed down until the arse kicked it out.

[Sideshow Bob]

Poor. Shit, even.

[TheReturnOfTheSpecialOne]

Funny, that. They weren't booing Clichy!
perhaps he's their 'mole'!

[Cit.revenge]

First half let say ok but second FFS, if we go in games with this much fire and Ted i right i think Barry work for this defense for years and u can see that.

[ant london]

It seems like Arsenal have 2 extra players out there which kinda indicates we have a couple strolling about.

I like Javi Garcia in some ways but someone needs to make him understand that if he is going to feature in our side he needs to make sure he is first to the ball more often than not. Seems that every time he's challenging for the ball he is clinging onto the oppo's shirt and trying to half heartedly reach his foot round. Him and Dzeko...for such big lads are fucking pansies

It looked like he got hit in the face; or, more, a brush-off
But then he wasn't bleeding, so it couldn't have been much

Thanks, and to sidsmith too.

[Michael Brookes]

Over the 90 not good enough

[TheReturnOfTheSpecialOne]

Has anybody mentioned that Ya Ya didn't look interested?
Similar to the Community Shield, a couple of years ago, when United's Tom Cleverley was hailed as 'The Second Coming' for the way he 'bossed' Ya Ya.

I guess Hart isn't the only one who needs a kick up the arse!

[Ted Hughes]

Anybody seen Nasri do anything useful?

Not today but he has been one of our best players pre season & doesn't deserve stick for the faults today.

[london blue 2]

Other than the defence looking worse i cannot see any change under the count. I know it's early days but I'd think we'd see a different pattern.

Suddenly I don't feel quite as confident about the coming season.

He was excellent in those post-season games against Chelsea, but that was before we'd signed four players. Perhaps he gets the sense he won't be getting too many starts and is going to spend another season moaning and groaning

[Ted Hughes]

If we are going to play this kind of game, we need to put our chances away because the oppo are going to score.

I can't see how we can realistically change from Mancini's system to this in a short space of time & be tight defensively, especially without Barry etc. So we either play a more solid style, score like fuck, or win nowt this season imo.

[Green & Blue]

Only a preseason friendly but still feels disappointing result.
