Sevilla: David Soria, Mercado, Pareja, Carriço, Escudero, NZonzi, Krohn-Dehli, Banega, Correa, Nolito, Ben Yedder.
Didn't realise Sevilla had so many players I know. N'Zonzi, who I wanted us to sign this summer, Ben Yedder, who I said we should sign last summer, Luis Muriel, who I once incorrectly touted as the next Suarez, Corchia, Krohn-Dehli, Nolito and former Football Manager hero Ever Banega.
Koscielny with a great header off Oxlade-Chamberlain's corner, but its well saved.
Lacazette plays Bellerin in down the line with a great through ball, but he takes an awful first touch and is tackled.
Sevilla player gets through one-on-one but he hits the post.
Monreal overlaps Oxlade-Chamberlain and drives inside, but is fouled right on the edge of the penalty area.
Ozil and Oxlade-Chamberlain over the free kick... Ox skies it.

We look sloppy, willock struggling, and ozil moping around as usual
Great play from Oxlade-Chamberlain as he plays a one-two with Lacazette and blasts past his man. He puts a great cross to the back post but Bellerin skies it.
Good driving run from Welbeck. He gets into the penalty area but prods his effort wide.
Ramsey does well to dribble past a couple of Sevilla defenders, but his eventual effort is wide.
Nolito volleys from far out but its just wide.
We're looking better we but so are they. They seem to be making the better chances, but bellerin should have scored
Ramsey plays a great ball over the top to Welbeck. He tries to square it to Lacazette but it takes a touch off the defender and the keeper claims.
Half time 0-0.
Not much to take from that borefest. Much like yesterday we've been quite easily cut open, but we haven't been as fluid and dangerous going forward as yesterday.

Bramall on for Bellerin at half time.

To me we have been decent defensively, brutal going forward. Should probably be 1-1. But outside of that chance for each team there hasn't been much happening.
Having ozil play like this is like playing with 10 men.
Ramsey cushions Ozil's pass into Lacazette's path, but his first time effort is weak and easily saved.
Xhaka on for Willock.
1-1 Lacazette
Oxlade-Chamberlain blasts past his man and squares the ball to Welbeck. Welbeck mishits his shot but Lacazette is on hand to tap in at the back post. 1-1.
2-1 Sevilla. Great finish by N'Zonzi.
Walcott and Iwobi on for Elneny and Lacazette.
Ramsey curls one wide from the edge of the penalty area.
I know ppl say one shouldn't read too much into a friendly, but we see the same pbma we had last season. We seemed to be able get late goals and salvage during previous years but these days we seem to panic when we are a goal down going into the final 15 min and are unable to create a single meaning ful chance.
It's gotten much worse in the last two seasons and we saw that again today.
Ppl getting in each other's way, players standing too close to each other rather than spread out, same old same old.

Lack of off the ball movement in general today.
Sadly another case of deja vou we get caught on the break so easily loads of passing with no end product nothing will change its pathetic
Under new managment
Under new managment
Having watched both games I see nothing but a disappointing season ahead.
Absolutely nothing to get excited about watching them.
We look lightweight,disorganized and clueless.
