Would've been 1-0 to Charlton if VAR had been in operation obviously.8

I've no idea haha. Mine was just a spoof comment to make light of what appears to be a 6-0 thumping.sam3110 said:
Shame we actually played the Under 23's first then eh?Oggy Red said:Wait a minute ............
"Lee Bowyer split his team up, playing two different 11s in each half."
That's 2 different games we lost today.
The first game was only 2-0; wearing my renowned rose-tinted specs, that's a decent scoreline against top class opposition, away from home.
The 2nd game, unfortunately finished in a 4-0 defeat, although not too bad a scoreline from our U23 development team.
Whichever way you look at, today was just a training exercise - a run out against quality opposition and a chance to work on team shape and tactical play under match conditions.
I doubt if Bowyer will be too bothered about the actual result - more about passages of play and off the ball awareness, although I'm sure he'll be looking to see what might be, erm .... improved upon.
As Bows will no doubt say ...... all the lads got some minutes in them.

I've got a feeling it could be Pratley or Field - both have been seen (the former was in Aubamayang's video whilst the latter was in a photo)Richard J said:

Certainly cant see reason for Morgan not to be involved, might struggle to get game time with a fully fit midfield but certainly no reason to deny him minutes just in case1 -

Phillips immense, Aneke unlucky not to score!!
Nothing could be done about the first, slightly poor from Oshilaja for their second
First half they looked unlucky, second half they looked disinterested2 -
Don’t think the players will feel too bothered morale wise. They got to play at a world class stadium against some world class players. Chasing the ball for 90 mins is better than 2-3 days of training. We’d never get the chance to play Arsenal in a regular pre season.4

Love how Basey was the referee... Bet no one wanted to argue with him!!10

To think it seems like yesterday that we turned over a better Arsenal team than this one 4-2 at their home groundValleyGary said:Don’t think the players will feel too bothered morale wise.

Phillips did well in the first half, very well.
Good to see aneke finally fit4 -
Second half team definitely was
Amos
Lapslie Lockyer Sarr Page
Pratley Morgan
Williams Oztumer Doughty
Bonne
This means that Smith, Field, and Davison all came off the bench and therefore, 3 other players did not get a full 45 minutes.
Aneke looked really bright in the few clips Arsenal showed. As @ForeverAddickted said he was unlucky to not score.
I believe now Taylor has said he won’t play, we could see more of a 4-4-1-1 formation with either Williams, Aneke or Oztumer behind the main striker. It allows us to play with McGeady, Doughty, Green, and sometimes Williams our wide. Bonne and Hemed will therefore rotate.1 - Sponsored links:

Well he did a bloody bad job, he should have awarded us 5 penalties and sent at least 3 Arsenal players off!ForeverAddickted said:Love how Basey was the referee... Bet no one wanted to argue with him!!3 -

Although apart from that photo I didnt see Field either, plus he was in shot with Purrington so meant he was involved in the first half?
Unless he got 10mins towards the end and replaced someone like McGeady0 -
That must be one of the strongest teams we've played since the PL days, as on the rare occasion we've played someone decent in the Cups, the PL team would usually rest a few players
But seeing a match report which says that Lacazette and Aubameyang scored in the 1st half shows the calibre of player we were up against2 -

Watched the highlights , Phillips looks very sharp and made some very good saves1

Your next job @Sage is to work out the Arsenal players so we can see if the 1st half team faced the least experienced team or whether their 2nd half team was stronger
Edit or you could just jump on the Arsenal website, doesnt get much stronger than that!!
Starting XI: Leno; Bellerin, Mustafi, David Luiz, Tierney; Guendouzi, Maitland-Niles; Nelson, Ozil, Aubameyang; Lacazette
