The Emirates Cup: Saturday, 29th July 2017, 16:20 BST

[Trilly]

Not quite sure why he does it, but it's become a habit now. As a pro you can't really be doing that, any sort of pressure on the ball is useful.

The thing is, there's actually no point in him chasing back. Especially when he has forward momentum and the guy who's tackled him has already passed it 10+ yards away.

But it does look terrible, makes me cringe every time. For what it's worth, he does track back when he has a chance at actually winning the bank. I think he's just a guy who plays the percentages.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Kola will be amazing to watch this season in LWB position

 

[Sniper Mik]

No one's passing to Lacazette

 

[YaGunnersYa]

Shouldnt we be playing Lacazette upfront so he can get used to our team and system and vice versa? Isnt that the point of a pre-season?

Honestly, elephant in the room here but Wenger might actually be starting with Giroud upfront at the start of this season with Lacaz wide.

 

[Hunta]

Can see Wenger going with Kolasinac at home and Monreal away.

 

[Trilly]

Laca didn't help Kola with that, needed a bit more weight.

 

[say yes]

Chambers has a great pass on him.

 

[Plutarch]

Elneny has had a lot of the ball in midfield in this game, and he's looked pretty good.

 

[MLK79]

Well... you sub off Theo and all the fun goes out of the game.

He really made this game watchable. He was scoring goals, linking up in midfield and showing our defenders how to defend. Ospina is lucky he didn't go in goal and do his job.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

The fans in Australia filled up bigger stadium than Arsenal fans do on their home ground.

Local fans keeps embarrassing the club

 

[North5]

Seo was great business.

 

[celestis]

Yeah take big Ollie off .

Well... you sub off Theo and all the fun goes out of the game.

Indeed gulf in classs since he came off is telling .

 

[say yes]

Giroud's been class second half.

I think i've seen him do it a few times when there is genuine opportunities to win it back or close down.

 

[GDeep™]

Seo was great business.

Yeah, 9/10.

 

[Rimaal]

Giroud's been class second half.

He should only come on as a 2nd half sub, tbh.

 

[MutableEarth]

Lacazette's touch there

 

[Hunta]

Lacazette isn't a guy for cameos.

 

[Trilly]

The scenes if Lacazette turns out to have a worse touch than Lukaku.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Walcott > Lacazette
