Arsenal is next on Saturday. Wrexham game is for the lolz so we won't be using too many starters in that one as we play Real Madrid the following day.

Arsenal 22nd
Save me trawling through the first 11 pages for a first half summary - how did the first half boys play?
TBF playing as a center forward vs playing wide is a bit different.
Alright
What a touch from vdB 
Wasn't that more due to DDG having huge wages and the backup GK being Heaton and Dubravka/Butland? It might be different if you have a younger backup GK who is good enough to cover, but also needs playing time.
What a ball by VDB there
Why are keepers pulling out worldie saves in friendlies? feck off
Hansen is a g
Our left footed wingers can't score.
Maunoo will be class and will have game time this season. Alvaro needs another loan. Kovar > de Gea. Mount quiet. Hannibal chaos in all aspects, good and bad. Amad pretty much the same level as Antony and Sancho. Martinez, Varane, Wan bissaka same as usual.
Fergie, sign him up!
Evans cold as ice
Get in Moeen.
Edit - wrong thread ... erm, get in Evans!

Good first twenty minutes, Hannibal, Kovar and Mainoo looking good. They all faded after that. Antony and Amad really should have scored.
That’s fecking racist.
Great tackle from young Jonny Evans
We could do worse than picking up Evans on a free if we want to save money
Dan Gore has been fun to watch.
I won't get ahead of myself but Dan Gore is twice the player Lampard was.
Stewart Gardner “they made it to a CL semi final when they hilariously beat city” Love it Stuart haha
And half the weight.
Too sensible, so we defo won’t.
We need to sell them all and play the kids
Commentator just said Lyon hilariously beat City in the CL to make the semis.
Nice little dig.
Nice little dig.
I don't think there was anything particularly interesting about 1st half tbh. First 10-15 mins looked promising with good pressing. Rest of half was pretty dull and nothing really happened
TBF he looks just as shite playing both positions
Oh Donny (wait until the replay).
Donny filling in the Pre-season Pereira role
How did Mount play in the first half?
What happened to Giflord. He is usually quick at posting highlights of goals
He gone.
Good run by Hansen-Aaroen but the pass was poor
Turns out he's not the nicest chap
Why is Erik in goal for Lyon?
The Lyon kit is nice and should be our away/third.
Antony killed quite a few attacking opportunities in the first half as he cut back all the time, frustrating.
Is Donny about to have his breakout season?

breakout pre-season
Ref just blowing every time we go near a Lyon player
