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.
Tierney is defensively sound. We'll need him at left back when Zinchenko can't keep up.
Ben white looking great
Saka is pure quality. He never stops
Oof, a "play out of the back" goal. Well played Nurnburg.
That free kick certainly was a free kick.
It's a fucking friendly stop wrestling our players ffs
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.
Good thing the sun is setting. When it's in the sunny section of the pitch it's sometimes invisible.
Just warmed up some rice for the second half 👀
Hein still developing his playing out from the back I see.
Nwaneri calm down it's a friendly lol
Balogun 👀
Was hoping Cedric would score there lol good run
Ooooof.
Forgot trusty was even on the bench and he's now on the pitch so good lad
Oh dear.
Oops
Btw banger from Saka, hoping to see it again with better picture quality tomorrow on the Arsenal channel lol
OK so... a tall, skinny Arsenal player wearing 29. I'm having Chamakh flashbacks, and not good ones.
Myles Lewis-Skelly goal incoming
I'm glad Hein is the 3rd option. He's not ready for big games.
Tierney, Jesus, and Hein on for Ramsdale, Saka and Kiwior
HAVERTZ IS ON THE PITCH
Jesus in the middle, Balogun on the right wing, Nketiah on the left (?)
Also Jorginho and Cedric for Saliba and Partey
Vieira on the right is interesting, allows for more rotations with Saka
Honestly forgot they gave Saliba the 2
Why would you cut to Arteta like that with Nelson on the edge of the box lol, I know we've been there all game but Arteta wasn't bloody doing anything
Ref looks like he'd be a good addition to Handsome FC, looks like FIFA's version of Ryan Reynolds
Tierney and Trusty with the synchronised diving tackles right there
Kiwior is doing that Zinchenko role really nicely, why the fuck was he up there when we needed him
Good from Gabriel but that was not necessary lol
Most formal arteta's been in ages, a polo shirt? In this weather?
Jorgi?
Good shit from Walters right there
Thought that shot from the corner rebound went in for a second
Random thought: Nelson is our John the Baptist to Saka as Jesus — the guy we thought would be the star boy was like "there's this guy who's coming after me" and that's the guy that is actually the messiah
Walters and Lewis-Skelly for White and Eddie
