What a play by Bielik .... shows that clueless Niles how to play Ribery one vs one and then has the skill to recover the overlapping runner with a well timed tackle in the box ...

This kid :clap: :clap:

Thanks Xhaka, you forced Le Coq into a yellow to Save a break

Should be 2-0 bad officiating, not offside.

What a horrible decision that was a clear goal by bayern called offside ... make up call for the bogus PK

Let him go where the sun doesn't shine. Arsenal doesn't need him or his contributions. We have Lacazette, Walcott and Welbeck.

Arsenal getting opened up like a can of tuna...same issues as last year. Structural integrity still not quite what it should be (3 man back was no different from 4 man back)

Good workout for the Arsenal lads. Bayern look to be in ominous form, the bundesliga has to get more competitive (*TBF, dortmund looked good v milan yesterday)

Le Coq risked a second yellow but made a great tackle on James to prevent a break

Great interception by Le Coq but his breakaway pass to Laca is a little too long

Love this. It is games like this you learn a thing or two about the character of young players. So far, they have stood up. Impressed.

Do not forget Bayern are ahead of us in terms of pre-season.

Even in a pre-season friendly, Bayern players still cheat. That was no pen, it was a dive.

ozil to lacazette...get used to it.

The youngsters in this game have nothing to prove for me, they've always performed when given chances. The problem always remains the same, people want big signings AND want youth at the same time. The eat your cake and have it stance of humanity.

What a save by Cech on a deflection :thumb: This midfield of Xhacrap and Le Coq is not working

Niles used by Ribery, not fair. Niles don't understand how to defend.

Cech saving Arsenal, could be down by 3. 4 more minutes until HT. Survive until the 2nd half.

Cech keeping Arsenal in this. Too many defensive lapses.

If sticking to his task means open nyash for a shagging then you're right :woot:
