Arsenal V Palace match thread

[CT Charlie]

Looked to me like the perfect deflection to elude Henderson. Very unlucky for us.

Henderson looking more like Hennessy recently

 

[WJK1960]

Seriously dubious goalkeeping. Positioning on both goals has been awful

Both goals went right in the corner. His positioning was fine. You can't criticise Henderson for those goals.

 

[Painter]

How did Henderson not get that - he had plenty of time....?

Deflections dont help keepers from that range.

Crikey, bashing Henderson for no reason tonight I'm assuming you chaps that are typing the "should be in a better position" are as they lay down warrior typing. Nothing he can do both goals in the corner, the team are genuinely playing fine and not expelling to much energy which we don't want, Jesus get behind the lads and g them up we have created chances and playing well, bloody place is a joke for pessimistic fans and people that don't see football from tactical point of view

 

[PatrickA]

Strange game.
We're playing some decent stuff, but the atmosphere is like a testimonial.

Errr, I don't suppose they actually read the match thread on Hol at half time........

 

[Spiderman]

Just seen replay of first goal, anyone else think he was offside?

 

[Rogers the legend]

Arsenal are not up for it tonight, they look flat. We are doing ok. Created quite a few chances, we could be leading on another night. I'm worried about their "bus stop" type set pieces. We are marking zonally and look a but confused by the movement.

 

[Hannes]

Don't think we are that bad, although Arsenal not firing on all cylinders. Obviously both teams were not delighted about the the game scheduled for today. Looked more like a friendly to me.

Neither team has anything to play for in the league.

Palace going for FA Cup & Arsenal are going for Euro Cup.

 

[Frenchaigle]

Despite the score we've been decent ,both teams seam distracted and not firing on all cylinders, Arsenal more so .

Im not bashing our players but understand it during the heat of the match when we are emotionally involved . There is plenty of time to pull the game apart tactically after

 

[French eagle]

Just seen replay of first goal, anyone else think he was offside?

Apparently not. Nketiah's arm and Guehi's head playing him on

 

[Dogburger]

No

 

[BromleyMonkey]

Decent half, hopefully we won’t collapse now second half.

In the modern day game they use the rules as they see fit.

No one should be allowed to attack the goal and not be classed as active ridiculous that player who was in middle.

If you are on about the player who scored no he was just on.

 

[grumpymort]

Apparently not. Nketiah's arm and Guehi's head playing him on

Arms don't count it should be only a part you can score with

 

[Frenchaigle]

I hope Glasner brings the kids on, perfect game really .
Should use at least 4.

 

[Rogers the legend]

Although I'm a critic of Kamada, he has shown some good touches tonight. Maybe he will prove me wrong after all? I still think when the going gets tough he will disappear but tonight so far...
