Gunners

I get the idea that the club is more important than the player, and for that reason the German teams have the team name above the number and the player name below. But, that doesn't seem to take into account how cameras often frame their shots, where the bottom part of the shirt isn't visible.

Lovely Nketiah, literally just a preseason friendly and he's pressing every chance he gets

Nwaneri looks damn good for a 16 year old

Tierney is defensively sound. We'll need him at left back when Zinchenko can't keep up.

I know the chances are slim, but I'd love to see Balogun stay at this club

Ben white looking great

Saka is pure quality. He never stops

So, the lineup seems to be:

GK: 1. Ramsdale

RB: 4. White
RCB: 2. Saliba
LCB: 6. Gabriel
LB: 15. Kiwior (shifting into central midfield like Zinchenko)

DM: 5. Partey

RCM: 21. Vieira
LCM: 19. Trossard

RW: 7. Saka
CF: 14. Nketiah
LW: 24. Nelson

A link for those that need it and want to learn german

That free kick certainly was a free kick.

Didn't realize there was a chat function on lemmy, that's cool

Myles Lewis-Skelly (playing wearing 59) is only 16 and also doesn't look out of place in this team.

Balogun seems to be coming on (26) so it looks like the line-up will now be:

GK: 31. Hein

RB: 17. Cedric
RCB: 4. White
LCB: 6. Gabriel
LB: 3. Tierney

DM: 20. Jorginho
RCM: 21. Vieira LCM: 29. Havertz

LW: 26. Balogun
CF. 9. Jesus
LW. 14. Nketiah

Nwaneri calm down it's a friendly lol

I want to see havertz come on, let's see what he's got

Hein still developing his playing out from the back I see.

Good thing the sun is setting. When it's in the sunny section of the pitch it's sometimes invisible.

Did Hein save that followup? I need a replay! Lol

Nwaneri my word

Looking forward to see Viera get an actual preseason.

Just warmed up some rice for the second half 👀

Wait what the fuck it's their free kick?

Trusty playing like it's the WC final.

Going in at the start of the second half:

GK: 31. Hein

RB: 17. Cedric
LB: 3. Tierney

DM: 20. Jorginho

CF: 9. Gabriel Jesus

??: 29. Havertz

Wow. A lot of tricky play to get the ball to the middle then it drops for Kiwior who tries an outside-of-the-foot left-footed shot from near the top of the D and hits an Arsenal player (Trossard?) (18 minutes in or so, for someone looking for a fun replay).

Interesting that Kiwior is in that position though. I guess Arsenal is going to play with the left fullback tucking in even when Zinchenko isn't playing.

It's a fucking friendly stop wrestling our players ffs

Not seeing any new top comments for 5 min so just have to test, sorry.

OK, current team:

GK: 31. Hein

RB: 17. Cedric
RCB: 4. White
LCB: 32. Trusty
LB: 3. Tierney

DM: 20. Jorginho
RCM: 63. Nwaneri
LCM: 29. Havertz

RW: 26. Balogun
CF. 9. Jesus
LW. 14. Nketiah

Give Havertz some time, man needs to unlearn everything over the past few years

Frontline is Jesus-Havertz-Balogun-LewisSkelly-Nwaneri I think? Interesting lol

OK so... a tall, skinny Arsenal player wearing 29. I'm having Chamakh flashbacks, and not good ones.

Oof, a "play out of the back" goal. Well played Nurnburg.

I'm glad Hein is the 3rd option. He's not ready for big games.

Btw banger from Saka, hoping to see it again with better picture quality tomorrow on the Arsenal channel lol

Picture quality so bad I can’t say for sure who was last on the ball.
