You can say you don't care about the Community Shield or whatever, but I feel like this exposed so many of both teams' preparations going into the new season: Arsenal looks solid and they're playing hoops here and there, have no problems with both attacking and defending, with or without the ball. Manchester City has clear chemistry and communication issues and I doubt Maresca is able to fully control this team and ignite passion within them. Like... whatever happened to Foden man. I'll give some credits for Josko in the City side. 😭 For Arsenal, watching Ødegaard is really such a joy, while Raya's safe hands is just chef's kiss.
