I have to add Heinze's clearance move to my arsenal.. he runs from the attacker, turns, and then drops to the ground LOL its amazing how scripted it is. Heinze is cool. Arsenal fans making some noise for Robinho. I Like it.
Heinze is so dirty, but man, he's so valuable when he's on your team! I'd hate him without question, if I was going against him on the pitch. Robinho is the captain now that Salgado is off for Callejon! What a trip.
Silly backheel from Robinho to Torres, who is once again useless in attack. It looked pretty slick though.
whoaa, any idea how old is this Callejon dude? he's been pretty good so far, and he;'s a fast runner too
Damn, Callejon looks like a decent player out there. Parejo got his noggin on it, though it could've been another player if he missed, couldn't tell who. Good movement and passing during this last 10 minutes or so.
Man, Robinho makes things look so easy, it's fantastic to watch him play.The backheel pass, the way he receives the ball, everything.Having both Robben, who is also spectacular, and him in the same team is great(especially when you are a supporter of that team ), because both impress in different aspects of the game. Great experience for the youngster duo, with the whole cross & header thing.Salgado better watch his back, or else he might catch the kid in the pyjama like shirt get more of his minutes. Good friendly match, i think the coaching staff can pick up a few clues and continue working on the physical aspect.
He is 19.. I thought he joined QPR. He is a winger, but usually plays a Right attacbking midfielder. Good player.
Diarra looked reassuring in the middle today, good stuff. We probably do need someone up top who is a more direct and imposing, as Saviola and Higuain tend to run in circles up there. Robinho looked spritely, Baptista too. Back four were off and on, though they stopped the majority of the Hamburg attacks. Dude made a bunch of nice saves, good to see him in action. Torres and Salgado still worry me, a lot. Robben was impressive in that he looked in midseason condition. RVN and Raul just give me a warm feeling, I know they'll get their goals as the season goes on. One thing, what's with the one false winger formation? Are we going to be playing this going into the season? It worked alright last season, but it definitely overworked and overburdened our RB, and I don't want to see that again this season as Ramos certainly was affected. And if its Salgado on the right, oh hell.
As it was for large parts of the season, when Robben is fit, Robinho isn't and vice versa . With Robinho showing some good touches and looking lively, and Robben his dangerous self, we may see them both on at the same time at some point this pre-season. I'd like to think we would anyway.
