Arsenal 3-0 Fiorentina: 5 talking points while Eddie Nketiah launches the gunners to win

Eddie Nketiah scored two goals as Arsenal won its second game in the International Champion's Cup.

The young hopeful Nketiah opened the scoring in the 16th minute in the 16th minute while he was showing exceptional composure.

It was easier for his second goal in the 66th minute when Nketiah bowed at home after a flowing movement involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Carl Jenkinson and Alexandre Lacazette.

Joe Willock added a third in the 89th minute, finishing well after being put in place by his replacement Alexandre Lacazette.

Nketiah was the winner of the Arsenal match against Bayern Munich in Los Angeles and his double and his performances on the American tour did him good.

The heat was deep in Charlotte but another good job for Arsenal who will face his last game of the pre-season tournament in Washington on Tuesday.

Eddie Nketiah is moving

He is 20 years old, a good finisher and his first match against Fiorentina was a mixture of calm and cruelty. Good control, no side and banging in the lower corner. His second was a simple tap-in, but he has a prolific pre-season.

There is a debate about the opportunity to lend Nketiah to give him games or to keep him at Arsenal. He stepped up his efforts during the US tour and it will be hard to know if he will be better served at Emirates or if he wins championship minutes with Bristol City.

Whatever it is, Nketiah has grown in physics and stature, can finish and improve. A great future if his career plan is well defined.

Arsenal transfer plans take time – but pre-season at speed

Until now, they have experienced frustrations in the transfer market and will have to do serious business before the start of the campaign.

But after playing an intense match against Bayern Munich in Los Angeles, they won a decent test against Fiorentina in Charlotte.

No doubt about it, the band needs work and signatures, but Unai Emery has Arsenal very neat, on time and up to par.

Charlotte another time

The game started at 6 pm local time on the field side, temperatures were over 100 degrees in hot sun. The players had regular drink breaks.

Basically, it was too hot and probably did not help the 75,000 spectators at the Bank of America Stadium to sell tickets, as it seemed less full than half.

There was an incredible number of Arsenal jerseys, it was an incredible support to Charlotte, but this heat wave did no favor to the players.

It will get used to the new rule of the goal kick

Yes, we all know that this has been changed. The goalkeeper can now play it to a defender, he does not have to leave the penalty area and you can then continue. But it always looks weird.

It will be interesting to see how some teams playing at the back close quickly and if the defenders are caught off guard.

Because even if it has been well developed, it always looks weird. A sweep when the first mistake is surely imminent. The second week is my bet.

Emery should stick with a back four

Arsenal started with Shkodran Mustafi, Calum Chambers and Nacho Monreal at the back and Unai Emery used the system a lot last season. They went to the back four at halftime (Sead Kolasinac went away and Nacho Monreal went left) and the form was better.

But Emery's entire system and tactics may be better suited to a backswing to help get more players into the midfield. The problem is that you need four good advocates and that is the problem.

However, Emery should develop a plan and stick to it, because for now and sometimes last season, we still do not know how Arsenal is played or whether it is a team of possession, counterattack or pressing. They need a defined direction and have a better appearance with a back four.
