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.

Nwaneri looks damn good for a 16 year old

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

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

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

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

Saka is pure quality. He never stops

Ben white looking great

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

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

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

That free kick certainly was a free kick.

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.

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

Nwaneri calm down it's a friendly lol

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.

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

Nwaneri my word

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

Just warmed up some rice for the second half 👀

It's a fucking friendly stop wrestling our players ffs

Looking forward to see Viera get an actual preseason.

Trusty playing like it's the WC final.

Wait what the fuck it's their free kick?

Oops

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

Ooooof.

Forgot trusty was even on the bench and he's now on the pitch so good lad

Oh dear.

Balogun 👀

Jesus in the middle, Balogun on the right wing, Nketiah on the left (?)
