Be good to see Xhaka in an Arsenal shirt. Hope he gets some game time, but I think Wenger might give the players involved at the Euro's a rest.

 

I think it'll be a mix of non-Euro and Copa America players (Theo, Ox, Elneny, etc...) and youth (Jeff, Willock, etc...).

 

Is game on tv any where??

 

Probably will be streamed somewhere, but it might take a bit of digging to find it.

 

If you have an account on Arsenal.com, which is free BTW, the game will be streamed live on there on Arsenal Player. IIRC they are streaming all the pre-season games on there. It will also be streamed on the Arsenal app.

 

Isn't it streamed on the Arsenal website/Arsenal TV app thing?

 

Ronaldo7.net usually comes up trumps

 

I didnt get a chance to watch the game, what was it like?

 

Lovely chip by the Ox to equalize.

Good goal - shame he will be a fringe player this year, unless we move him on

 

There's also highlights on arsenal.com

It's a shame about Oxo, he looked great in last seasons pre-season and then ended up having a terrible season.

I am worried that no one has been moved on - we've still got Oxo, Walcott, Debuchy, Sanogo, Wilshere, Szsesny - so it means there's less space for a new signing even though we blatantly need 2-3.

I watched the game and thought we played well considering we played with two teams.
I was impressed with Holding and also thought Bielik had a good game at CH.

 

I see that our old nemesis Drogba got on the score sheet.

But ended up on the losing side

 

Arsenal actually scored from a set piece!!!

1-0 holding scored.

 

Almost 2

 

Wengers coq and chambers keep diving in tho

 

The 2-0 really nice goal by oxo.

Playing much better so far this half
