Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace match thread

[Spindle]

Tough enough against a trillionaire team who just take your best players, but the refs are bought too.

Arteta & Dyche must have the same mother. Lump it, bully it, timewaste, dive.

Hard luck lads you gave your all for each other can't ask more than that . Excellent support as normal proud to be Palace

 

[maddog]

As we have seen many times before, the difference was Ebs. Well done to the Arse £65m well spent!

 

[Sardinero]

Played better in 2nd half , but once again couldn't see us scoring . Tired legs !

 

[Runningman]

He is not a novice.
He had 5 full seasons at Villarreal and played in over 130 La Liga games.

Bad ACL Tear in 2023 saw him miss an entire year. Reintroduced slowly this time last year.

Did ok vs top team. Of course Eze scored. W e are a very. good team. Pino really needs to up his game to be worth a place. Bring on the scousers !

 

[redshift]

It was nice to see Ebs over talking to the guys after the game. He hasn't forgotten where he came from unlike some other old Palace players. Hope he doesn't change.

I would put the kids out in the cup. We need to come out strong for the next league match and Conference match and I can’t see us being able to play so many games at 100% with this squad.

 

[Willo]

Another darned defeat, 3 in our last 4 games.
Pino was atrocious and another of our pre-season signings Uche, whilst physical, appears to lack that burst of pace.
Sarr never came out of the game with much credit.

I don’t think we played one decent ball into the box. So many straight at Raya. Usually we’re better than that. Arses are a good side and we needed to be at our very best to get something. Unfortunately too many were below their best. We’re always well organised and hard working but that’s not enough against Arses plus a ref who falls for their tricks and gave us nothing. Ah well, Let’s win at Anfield.

Was always going to be a tough game. Pino seems to be getting worse with every game. Sarr was absolutely awful.

Mitchell is simply not good enough going forward but that's nothing new.

Our first touches at times are so poor. Mateta and to be honest Nketiah when he came on had too many heavy touches today. It's a shame because aside from their goal, which was poorly defended by us They did very little and we could of got a point here.

What's concerning is that we are creating very little. We seem to of lost our spark a bit and everything seems a bit pedestrian the last couple of games.

Let's get Liverpool on Wednesday out the way in a game I genuinely couldn't care less about and we need to see a reaction at home against Brentford.

Arsenal was not even on it today we have made them look good gifting a goal.

awful from us in every department and again got what we deserved.

manager needs to re think what he is doing cant keep going into every game the same way and stop picking people out of form they dont deserve it.

We didn’t let them play that’s why ,and they didn’t let us play .Theres a reason why they have only conceded 3 goals .
It was always going to be a set piece that decided it .
Yes some of our passing wasn’t great .
Thought we would look leggy ,but the desire and commitment was there .

Apart from the goal he had a poor game

 

[Spindle]

It's been a tougher than avergage start btw. Everton are a bogey team and Forest stil had Nuno in charge when we played them

 

[VinceHilaire]

I’m just sitting here trying to think which Palace player had a good game??

Culpability to Wharton who was close to Eze before the kick was delivered but was ball-watching and provided Eze with the space to fire home.

Mitchell is my favourite player. Stop. He has improved normously under glasner. Saka didn’t get a kick against him.

Guehi ,the indefatigable Munoz ,one more maybe ?

 

[OneStevePerrin]

Getting a bit pissed off with Pino. Does very little but give the ball away and concede fouls. Doesn’t look quick enough to go past anybody.

I’m moaning more about him being selected in the first 11. At the moment he is too weak, gives the ball away and fouls unnecessary. He should be used as an impact sub. It’s more down to Glasner. I’m also annoyed that we brought those 3 subs on in the 90th minute. They needed at least 10 minutes before that, even if we let in a second whilst going for the equaliser. There was no time for them. He made mistakes last Thursday with team selection/balance. Hopefully he learns from these last games?
