What we learned vs Arsenal

Good Takeaways:
Balde will be a top 3 LB in the world this season
Ansu will score 15 goals
Abde should stay at Barca. Dynamic
Lewa is Lewa
Raphinha 2nd choice RW
Dembele is going to cook
Araujo is the true leader

Bad Takeaways:
Dest is absolute trash
Alonso is useless as a fullback. Actually just bad.
Romeu is useless and won't play much in 433
Kounde is getting progressively worse at CB
Nearly all midfielders didn't play well or control
Inaki Pena is terrible

Not really liking any of these new players they're mediocre. Also I never knew there are so many Arsenal fans here in LA.
Yet there are alot of people here saying we have one of the best squads in the world and have a good chance of winning CL.
For all of Xavis flaws, he cant turn turds into gold.
We have Pedri at CL winning level, thats it, and even he is uneven.
Araujo is a bit overrated and makes alot of misstakes.
De Jong havent become the player everyone thought.
Gundogan and Lewandowski are at the end of their careers.
Dembele, Fati, Raphina and Torre are dozen players.
Yea we cant afford better players, but you shouldnt kid yourself thinking its a trophy winning squad.

We are not talking about winning CL.
Xavi is useless period. For the love of God bring in a proper manager.
The squad has holes but we should be playing much better.

God help us if we have to rely on Pena for an extended period of games. Guy just isn't at the level. Doubt he gets into another LaLiga 11.

Tenas is better if we had to choose, thought should have got an experienced backup option, not on huge wages, as soon as Neto left.

Other than that, for everyone else, first game of pre-season.

So basically nothing changed.
