Jenko ties the game for Arsenal in Dubai right before halftime.

Now that’s an assist from Dennis Suarez. What a pass ...Burun Uba :taunt: :taunt:
Ozil and Lacazette playing like they are on holiday but Xavier Amaechi is having a game for himself

Lacazette has had a miserable half. Less said about Mezut Ozil the better ...

Defensively Arsenal was lucky not be down three to four nothing in the first 20 minutes. Totally overrun and dominated.

Their first goal was a beauty. Mustafi faked to the ground and that shot was unstoppable by even two goalies

When I see these Arsenal youngsters play I think of a misguided prospect like Marcus McGuane who was on the way to breaking in to the first team but got lured by the prospect of Barca and now sees his career in limbo.

With all the history of Arsenal-Barca transfers you would think these dudes would know better smh.

Plego gives away a daft PK with a minute left. Can Cech save his blushes?

No he can’t 2-3

Dunno if Ander Herrera’s agent is using a link to Arsenal as bait for others but I wouldn’t mind him on a free.

Iwobi this season.

League:
17 Appearances. 10 as a sub. 1544 minutes.
3 Goals. 4 Assists.

Europa League:
6 Appearances. 2 as a sub. 488 Minutes.
1 Goals. 2 Assists.

Averaging 2.8 key passes per game.

Yet some claim he has no end product. Iwobi's finishing is weak but he has good end product that is why he is in the team.

End product comprise of goals, assists and key passes.

Iwobi is actually one of the strongest for key passes in the league.

His Assists rate is good, especially from open play.

His weakness is goals.

Unlike you I can spot talent :taunt: :taunt: even Emery has pointed out that Iwobi’s main weakness is his lack of calm and poise when in the final third .... but then again you might know more than the coach because you buy season tickets :taunt: :taunt: :taunt:

Just like you know Arsenal weren’t in for Monchi even though the man thanked Arsenal for their interest, even though the club didn’t deny their interest and even though all the connected news sources said they were in for him :woot: :woot:

But nah Waffi knows best :taunt: :taunt: :rotf:
