Missing chances and Gabriel being Gabriel as usual.

Everyone knows we need a CB and a CF except Wenger it seems.

Yep, looking the same as usual.

Those chances we missed are exactly the problem we've had for years.

Kind of hoping we get a good tonking and it might mean some activity transfer wise.

It's only a friendly but it's just so reminiscent of what we've seen for years.

That's better. Think the keeper should have done better though.

Surprised Pep hasn't bought another keeper to challenge Joe Hart.

I think he is lining up a keeper to do just that or even replace him. Hart isn't a bad keeper but he's not that great either. Think people are wising up about Hart now. Very cool by Iwobi though. Picked his spot nicely.

If Theo can do that more often he'd be a player. Unfortunately it's few and far between.

Walcott is a confidence player. I really think he can develop a partnership with Iwobi.

He's a baller. Imagine the salivation had Wenger bought him for £30m? Elneny is another tidy player. Shame both will be off to the ACN in the winter period.

Yeah, it's the lack of consistency that's the problem and that goes for a lot of our players.

Elneny and Xhaka should start in midfield next week.

With Granit, Elneny and Granit, we have that steel we need and for once have a midfield with Deth. We just need a CB and Striker and we can really challenge tbh. With plays like Iwobi, Ox,Jeff,Campbell and Santi and Ozil. We do not need to waste money on Marhez.

Nice win. Youth beats City's aging players.

I'm not Walcott's biggest fan, but the fair weathered abuse he's been getting from the fanbase is quite embarrassing.

He's been at Arsenal for 10 years and Wenger's none the wiser about his 'best' position. He's not a goalscorer, but funnily enough I think he'd suit Leicester's system last season when they played on the counter.

Wenger's system is the problem. It encourages wasteful football. These players are good enough to beat any team, he just can't get the maximum out of them because he doesn't deal with discipline or coaching.

It would be typical Arsenal if this ended 3-3

I suspect that one of the granits is meant to be Coq? Agree that we're better off spending big on a defender and striker. Mustafi (sp?) and Lacazette please!

10 years and he's still to bail down a first team place. Ox is going the same way too.

Surely can't be another injury can it?
