Just Arsenal News

Arsenal won their third pre-season match easily enough, and still havent conceded a goal. In fact although all four of Wengers goalkeepers have now had game-time, none of them have had much to do!

Vito Mannone did everything that was asked of him in the second half yesterday, and even managed to save a soft penalty against the Austrian amateurs, but Wenger really can’t have had any pointers on who will be between the sticks in the fist league match at Anfield.

Almunia started the first half in goal, and was also named as captain in Cesc Fabregas’ absence. Is that Wenger’s way of telling the fans that he still has faith in the 32 year-old?

First half goals from Walcott and JET made Arsenal look comfortable enough, but they were playing a team that finished seventh in Austria’s Third Division, so another two in the second half (Chamakhs penalty and Carlos Vela) were hardly unexpected. This game was basically little more than a training session, but hopefully it will have improved the teams fitness levels ahead of the Emirates Cup.

Enjoy!
