5-0 is the biggest win in ASG history.

Holy shite timber coming through like a freight train
He is going to be very hard to keep off the field. As good as Ben White is, Timber looks exceptional on the ball in that inverted right back spot.

I really hope we keep Tierney so that way we can be mirrored each side of the defense with Kiwi/Zinchenko inverted LB and White playing regular fb or start Timber inverted right with KT regular fullback. Man it feels so good having legitimately great players available in all positions, with great players behind nearly the entire starting XI. Hopefully the injury curse doesn’t hit us too hard this year, I really think we have the talent to compete in all four competitions if we want to

After seeing him burst through the midfield I kept an eye on him. He looks strong as frick. He might be may favorite signing of this window.

No thanks unless we can get a bigger fee for him next summer. He isn't technical enough for this team. You see it everytime he plays. Good defensively but boots the ball up the pitch at the first instance of an opponent pressing.

I prefer Kiwior at LB and Tomiyasu as well. They, as well as Zinchenko actually have played midfield so they are comfortable with the ball. Tierney will be lucky to get 1,000 non FA Cup and League Cup minutes this season. He's essentially 4th choice and he isn't versatile enough to be trusted anywhere else on the pitch or in defense.

I know we love him but I don't think he is long for this squad.

Great pre-season tour so far to be honest.

Excited for the games against Man United and Barcelona coming up. Should be exciting and fun to watch!

I know it’s just MLS but most all of those shots were wicked as hell. Could have easily been 7 or 8 to naught. Can’t help but be excited for this year

Those players will be playing for their spot next season in a team going places. They want it. Preseason usually is a bore, but these last two have just felt different.

Ramsdale, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomi, Rice, Havertz, Odegaard, Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli starting 11 to face United.

It’s so nice to be able to mix it up a bit and feel like we can field a team that can compete with anyone.

Midfield needs to gel, Havertz and Rice have been here less than a week. Great preseason test, competitive and you can see what we need to tidy up. Some sloppy mistakes for the goals.

Havertz is lazy and sloppy. I think he will be as bad as Pepe

Man United didn't even really destroy us. Two brutal goals by mistakes. Regardless I love some humility, especially in preseason.

Getting destroyed when it doesn't matter will hopefully get them pissed off which is going to give us an edge to get better and realize they need to gel quick and fast. Overall happy about the loss in a weird way.

i guess if he gets 10 goals in the league next season and 6 in Europe that would be pretty good from a midfielder.

Which was pepes best season for Arsenal.

You can train as a team all you want to learn tactics but you need game play in order to start to gel as a unit.

This pitch is in terrible condition. Fingers crossed we stay healthy after this game.
