I really do like Jesus. I still think Arsenal will do well this season even if others think all this is pre season. You still want to go into the season playing extremely well and hitting the ground running - they look it. Proof is in the pudding in six days time for them.
Proof will be in the pudding at the end of the season mate not after the Palace game.

True - but I was alluding to whether they will hit the ground running in the league following their pre season which has reaped some good football and optimism. A defeat against Palace would bring them right down to earth with a bump.

I think they'll do better this season, and they are 4-0 up today, but I don't see much to fear in all honesty. I think they can be nullified and got at

What kind of team have Sevilla got out?

Good team, but they're 2 weeks out from season starting so probably at the peak of hard training.
They haven't looked as bad as the scoreline suggests but they're playing a high line, and Arsenal have been ruthless

This is typical Arsenal, thrash teams in a pre-season friendly, when the pressure is on and the games mean something they will flop spectacularly. They don't have any players with any bottle at all.

Please let this be their Roma 5-0.

I'll never forget that pre-season or the 2 points from 8 games that followed.

I've just watched goals 2, 3 and 4. To say the defending is shocking is an understatement.

Arsenal have always had players with uber smackable faces (Fabregas, Henry) to name a few. Jesus is just another of those.

People on here think we are way better than Arsenal and it’s just not the case. They could feasibly come ahead of us this season considering they can rest their big guns in the Europa. They are well coached and have built their squad impressively these last two summers

I still think they have holes in their squad, but so do we and the likes of say Liverpool (their midfield is a tad weak) and Man United (midfield and perhaps in attack if Ronaldo leaves), Chelsea too (pretty much defence and attack).

Its a competitive top six with Man City perhaps being the complete team.

I do agree. They're not shit and could do something, but fuck em. I'm not really worried.
