Every new coach wants to prove that they have the sauce when they meet the big boys in the pre season. That’s why Ten Hag said "We don’t do friendlies". When the season begins everybody will see their true level.
I believe if Arsenal meet Chelsea in the pre season, I expect Maresca to come all guns blazing. I have seen it too many times.
I mean there's nothing wrong to use the pre-season as a way to gauge whether your tactic is working or not. Things can change obviously, but if we can see how the system work then it's a good thing. Finding out what's working and not with different players where you don't have to get sacked after losing is a good deal IMO. I don't think this applies exclusively to new coach either, especially when you're competing in such a competitive league where opponents can figure out how you play after 1 season or less. At worst it can be a good meme material for banters.
In fact, that is the purpose of pre-season matches, coaches can try out strategies that will be played, including suitable players to carry out the plans they want to carry out in the competition. They don't care about the final result, because if they can successfully implement the plan then a good final result will come to them. Sometimes we only focus on their appearance and even focus on the final result. even though we don't know whether it was their best plan or they were conducting an experiment.

Usually we see a lot of big clubs being beaten by clubs that are not even in the highest caste. However, I can understand because they don't make winning their priority in pre-season matches, but they only look at progress. If there is a weakness that they assess, then they will immediately carry out an evaluation so that in the actual match they will be even better prepared than before.'

Arsenal and Liverpool face each other in a friendly match which has already ended 77 minutes with Liverpool leading by two goals. Liverpool and Arsenal have entered the field today in this 4-3-3 formation.Mohamed Salah scored for Liverpool in the first 13 minutes to give his side the lead. However, they doubled their lead shortly after another team-mate F. Carvalho scored another goal in the 34th minute. At this stage of the game it looked like Arsenal might be playing badly as they couldn't defend their defense properly. As a result, Liverpool's players easily enter Arsenal's D box and put the ball in their net and even score goals. Arsenal's players did not let Mohamed Salah and Carvalho celebrate their goals for long, as Arsenal's Havertz scored a goal 40 minutes into the match to bring his side Arsenal level. So far in this match he is the only goal scorer for his team.

Arsenal played well against Liverpool, but they were unable to win the game, I don't believe Arsenal defense is poor in this match, but Liverpool is not an easy opponent to defeat. However, Arsenal had a chance to score more than one goal in the first half of the game, but they wasted many chances to score due to Liverpool strong defensive line. This is an amazing win from Liverpool, Arne Slot has won his second preseason game as Liverpool's manager, and despite that several of their key players have not yet returned to the squad after the international game, I'm confident that Liverpool is still performing well at this moment because Arsenal is not a weak team in the Premier League.

I believe Arteta should have realized the root of their problems in these preseason games, Arsenal attacking players are not in top form, as shown by Gabriel Jesus who missed chances in the first half, and Havertz converted his own into a goal. If Arsenal wants to win a title next season, they must sign another striker rather than relying just on Jesus and Havertz.

It seems like Arsenal needs new ammunition on defender to solve this problem. When I look the match highlights some midfielders are not so enthusiastic to blocking the ball so that the ball goes wild backwards and cannot be cleared by defender. maybe it can be overcome by changing the formation, but it's not so effective if some defender are still moving forward to look for the ball. In other side, This is a proving ground a new coach of liverpool if he enough smart to look up the opportunities that be exist. At least, this victory can provest him if he enters the ranks of top coaches on premier league.
Arsenal and Liverpool both fielded their first team squads in this match. This is a big match even though it is only a trial and both teams will be able to evaluate their performance from the results of the match. I saw so many substitutions made by both teams. Both coaches are still trying various variations in their game tactics. I saw Arne Slot a little better because he could see the opportunity to win the match. Arsenal dominated the match but as you said in this match Arsenal had weaknesses in their back line. This should be an evaluation for Arteta before the season starts.

Liverpool's good team game made me appreciate Arne Slot even though it was only limited to the match.
Liverpool played as we expected because we realized that Arsenal were not a weak team and in the match they played with a squad filled by many main players who were usually played in the league.
The position of Arsenal goalkeeper that I saw was not David Raya or Ramsdale but Hein that I had never seen in every Arsenal match.

Regarding Liverpool's 2 goals made by Mo.Salah and Carvalho, it was purely because of Elliot's intelligence who acted as a player who gave an assist and it was enough to prove it to be maintained in the Arne Slot plan next season.

Calafiori arrival will make the depth of Arsenal squad next season better, especially their defense line, Arteta is very aware that defense is an important factor in supporting their readiness to win the English League trophy next season, but Arteta should also think about their midfield at the moment it will be a little fragile after Elneny departure to another team, apart from that, in my opinion, Declan Rice needs the right tandem to make Arsenal midfield stronger in supporting their attack and defense line in next season, Calafiori arrival will clearly not change Gabriel position as a central defender in arsenal squad, because with his ability to play equally well as a left back, of course Arteta will most likely plot Calafiori as a left back to replace Kiwior or Zinchenko next season.



Actually yeah, I haven't noticed that Calafiori played as a LB very often so far.  Smiley

Considering this fact, Arteta can actually use him there as well without removing any usual CB from the starting lineup. However in that case Zinchenko and Kiwior would start playing less often. Arteta will need to get the maximum efficiency from all these defenders. He is a great manager though so I think he would find a way not to cause any of his valuable players get nervous.

I'm more focused on Liverpool's gameplay in this game. Liverpool looked more solid than Arsenal with their new formation. Compared to Klopp's system, we are getting more bodies in the box under Slotball. Though it was a friendly game, I see no problem with the new formation implemented by Arne Slot. There are only minor changes to the squad. But, Liverpool's performance is getting better. I'm really enjoying the new formation. Also, i see no problem if Arne Slot decides not to sign a new player in the current summer transfer sewason.

Liverpool can compete for the trophy even if they still stick with the current lineup. The current squad looks so lively and energetic.
Arne Slot tactics and formation looks promising with the team, Likely that he wants to replicate his style of play during when he was at Feyenoord as their manager. But liverpool as a team is already in good shape in terms of the players we have in there and what that squad needs is for coach Arne Slot to apply the right winning strategy, boom! and you will have the team perform greatly under Arne Slot and not minding the fact his a new manager who needs time to understand his men, well on the other side I wouldn't be so fast to conclude with just this games and until we see what he will do within the first two -three months of his job with managing Liverpool during the main games.

Arsenal style of play involves the combination of more than 80% of their first team players. They should have Saliba, Raya, Saka and Ramsdale back in London by this weekend. Full house. And they’re suppose tidy Merino medicals and inclusion into their squad before  their first Emirates cup game.
Arsenal will repent well when the season starts. They will go with full force this season because Arteta needs a Silverware.

Mauricio Pochettino got fired because he failed to meet up, it was a harsh decision from the Club's owner, Todd Boehly.
I think it is reasonable that Mauricio Pochettino has not been able to fulfill his promise because Chelsea did experience a serious decline in the previous season and the coach also needs time to be able to fulfill what is expected and since the time he took office as Chelsea coach he has improved Chelsea's performance and managed to finish better than the previous season, even though his contract at that time lasted 2 years if Todd Boehly had been more patient, Chelsea could have been in the top 3 in his second season, unfortunately the club was not that patient and they fired Pochettino at the end of the season.

Let's keep watching how Chelsea is going to end up this coming season, I have already said since the end of last season after firing Pochettino that Chelsea will regret why they sacked Pochettino, to be honest, I’m very disappointed with what Chelsea did, after everything he did to make the players played very well this season they still sacked him, if Chelsea allowed pochettino to continue as a manager of the team this season I believe that Chelsea is going to be in a better position in the premier league this season and also they can win a trophy this season but Chelsea didn’t understand that before sacking Pochettino.

Pochettino is very disappointed with Chelsea and we all can see it from his reaction even some players are very disappointed with Chelsea because after all they have gone through they have made a good team to play for another season that is when they sacked the coach, some players love Pochettino and we can see that at the end of last season, they played well as he wants, Chelsea is playing Europa conference league this season and some people think Chelsea can win the title, let see to the end because I will not be surprised if Chelsea ends up without any trophy this season again.

Actually some of the words you said are very true because Arne Slot only continues the club that was previously built by Klopp and Arne only needs a few changes to strengthen the attack line.
I also would not be surprised to see the results of the Liverpool match against Arsenal which was only to try an approach with the coach or to warm up the players to train their mentality to recover and be ready to face new challenges.
I saw that the match was very interesting, both clubs competed competitively even though it was only a pre-season match but Liverpool looked more enthusiastic.

Arne Slot doesn't seem to need a long time to adapt because I see the players have started to have a good approach with the new coach.

The match between Arsenal and Manchester United was a friendly but there was no shortage of excitement. Arsenal performed well against Manchester United but Manchester United did not perform well against Arsenal. Since it was a friendly match, the performance of this match might not be that important but Manchester United's performance against Arsenal can at least give an idea of how Manchester United's performance is going to be in the next season. Since there has not been much change in the team, it is natural that there will not be much change in performance. 

Manchester United are relying on their current manager, maybe this manager will disappoint them next season as well and they will not be in a very good position in the Premier League points table at the end of a full season.
The function of the pre-season is to try out strategies that are suitable for this season's league, but many fans take this match seriously. A friendly match to test the depth of the squad, and indeed even though it was a friendly match, both teams played very well, perhaps because of prestige.

But in general, Man United's game in the first half was quite good, and in the second half, the defenders often piled up in the penalty box but the wing area was often missed. It can be said that this is a mistake that is often repeated, I hope Erik Ten Hag must fix it immediately, the support of the ball to the striker is often stuck, this also needs to be fixed, and the winger/midfielder has difficulty making a difference when a goal is needed. Man United's game has actually improved from last season, it's just that what still confuses me is that in the pre-season, other goalkeepers didn't have a chance, Onana is still irreplaceable, Erik Ten Hag should have given other goalkeepers a chance too.

But anyway, even though they lost, I am still optimistic that Man United will be better this season. The players have started to understand the direction of the game even though their passes are still not good. It just needs to be polished by seeing how many players are already strong at Man United.
Common mistakes Manchester United's defenders make are the same mistakes they make in key matches. Not only in this warm-up match against Arsenal but also in previous seasons we have noticed such common mistakes by defenders. Defenders play a huge role in football whether strikers score or not. If the defenders protect their defense dutifully, but the opposition strikers cannot score, this makes the match a draw even if there is no possibility of winning the match. 

There is no room to complain about Manchester United's midfield as they have focused enough on their midfield and made the midfield strong enough but their problem lies in their defensive positions. Since the problem is obvious, they should try to solve this problem. If they strengthen their defense as soon as possible, they will get a lot better results next season. 

Since the manager hasn't changed, we look forward to seeing what new tactics come from this manager next season to see if he can guide his team to success.

Todd Boehly's impatience made everything have to start from the beginning again with the new coach of his choice, I see him too hasty in achieving a victory and he does not want to process, what happened before everyone thought Todd Boehly did not really understand about this football sport, now he has spent a lot of money to buy players he likes and he bought a lot of young players I see he is investing. Seeing Chelsea who are currently coached by Enzo Maresca have also never won in the Friendly matches they have played, and of course this makes Todd a little concerned about what happened and it seems that if this defeat continues Enzo Maresca can also be recruited in the near future, because Todd wants something instant, of course being at Chelsea right now is a big pressure for the coach of course it is not easy if Todd continues to punish the coach as experienced by Pochettino actually Pochettino has got his game scheme at the end of the season but the efforts he has made of course Todd ignores, and if Todd does not want to process with Enzo Maresca in the long term I think it will be difficult to ask for a new coach at Chelsea and of course they will not get anything under Todd Boehly's ownership.

When I look the match highlights some midfielders are not so enthusiastic to blocking the ball so that the ball goes wild backwards and cannot be cleared by defender. maybe it can be overcome by changing the formation, but it's not so effective if some defender are still moving forward to look for the ball. In other side, This is a proving ground a new coach of liverpool if he enough smart to look up the opportunities that be exist. At least, this victory can provest him if he enters the ranks of top coaches on premier league.

It can be said that Liverpool and Arsenal are the match that receives the most attention in the US as these are two famous teams in the Top 3 of the Premier League last season. Both Arne Slot and Mikel Arteta fielded strong lineups but still experimented in a few positions.
New coach Slot only made one change to Liverpool's starting line-up against Arsenal, with Jota playing up front, allowing Elliot to return to midfield to take Endo's place. Is the Dutch coach trying to gradually shape the framework for the new season? Striker Mohamed Salah is still the mainstay of this team, they need to keep him to serve this season.
Meanwhile, Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta made quite a few changes to his starting lineup compared to the 2-1 win over MU. It seems he wants to create maximum playing opportunities for the current players to find new talent. This could be Mikel Arteta's test, and even though they lost, we can't underestimate Arsenal. Because they could very well win the championship this season.

A great friendly between Manchester United and Betis is taking place and both teams are attacking well before half-time. Betis took the lead with a goal in the 15th minute, but then Manchester United leveled the game in the 18th minute after their strong performance, with another goal in the 24th minute to give Manchester United the lead. In today's match of course I think Manchester United will give their best performance and win away from the opposition. Again, it could be that Betis against Manchester United with a strong half-time attack that United could lose. That's why in today's match, since the number of goals is 2-1 at the beginning, maybe there will be more tension between the two teams until the last minute and there is a possibility of more goals.
Manchester United is scoring more goals as they are leading with 3 goals now while Real betis still has the 1 goal which they first registered. I didn't expect Manchester United to score such amount of goals in the first half as I have underrated the players Manchester United paraded.
In the midfield has Erikson and Casemiro while Mac Tommny sit at their front. Now Rashford is at the wing while Sancho is at the top 9. I don't actually know that experiments that Erik Ten Hang is making, but the good thing is that it is bringing results.
The match is about 40mins played and Manchester United goals were gotten by;
M. Rashford 18' (P)
A. Diallo 24'
Casemiro 31'
Let's see what the second half has for us;

Arsenal had only 3 CBs before this signing so they did a really good job with that. Calafiori is a quite talented defender at the same time. Who knows maybe Gabriel's place in the starting lineup might be under danger now. Grin

I'm not saying that for Saliba because he is the best performing defender at the team so far. He has even been rumoured with Real Madrid recently. Arsenal had better keep him this summer. We would watch a duo like Saliba - Gabriel or Saliba - Calafiori. Gabriel was prone to making mistakes last season. He will need to improve his performance more as the competition in defense line increases more in time. Timber is also another promising defender.


Arsenal's success in recruiting Riccardo Calafiori will certainly bring competition for defenders to get the main place this season. Calafiori has a larger body posture which is certainly needed by every defender to compete for the ball during duels in the air. In his action at the Euros, we have seen that he was able to break up many attacks carried out by opponents, both one on one, so I think Arsenal found quite good success in improving their defense.



I think Saliba will find ideal partners with Calafiori in securing the defense this season. Arteta's recruitment has always succeeded in bringing progress to the team, as has happened in the last two seasons, where Arsenal have had quite significant developments.
