Crystal Palace vs Arsenal (PL) 0-2

I’d give Nketiah a run out for one of the wide men

5 subs allowed and nothing done

Playing a dangerous game

Rob Holding on at 85th min

Exactly, we’re also not under THAT much threat. I’d sub Saka or martinelli soon for a defensive player and that’s it.

Tbf not sure he’ll face guys as difficult as Zaha

He’s also playing out of position so let’s be fair, this may be the toughest night he’ll have in a long time.

Move the controller to park the bus Mikel

So ref? where the yellow?

Edit - okay it was soft

Obviously we have some key injured players but the fact that Arteta doesnt trust anybody enough to put them on says a lot about the state of the squad.

Absolutely diabolical refereeing to give that as a free kick.

How the fuck is that a foul

That wasn’t even a dangerous fucking tackle. If you’re pulling that back then you’ve got to give the player a yellow card because you’re insinuating that was reckless.

The ref didn’t even play advantage for the foul by Partey here we fucking go again

This is worse than a game of 2 halves.
The first 15-20 minutes are great but that’s it.

The wrong footed tactics is still far from convincing.
Martinelli has no left foot, Saka has no right foot.
The cut ins are really too expected and obvious.

Our captain has no guts to take a wide open 10-yard shot with his weak foot.
Weaker mind than Ozil.

Jesus and Saliba POTM for me, Zinchenko comes next.

This would be a long season if we have this kind of mentality again.

Just by this game and the tactics, Vieira is a better manager than Arteta for me.

Saliba!!!

Bit of a shambles if Nketiah isn’t trusted to aid us in seeing the game out

Saka isn’t on that level where he can’t be subbed off

Playing devil’s advocate - despite being on the back foot, we are still in control. So maybe it is the right thing to let these guys continue
