Crystal Palace V Arsenal, 26 October KO 12:45

Well that was a bit shit.

We appear to be in a comfort zone after recent performances, too much casual passing and no real incisiveness.

Thankfully Palace are awful but we really need to step it up a notch.

half time analysis spot on

arteta :haha:

I don't think Palace can keep that pressing going Dortmund style for 90+ minutes, just hope we don't do anything stupid in the meantime.

I don't understand the hype around Gnabry. Yeah he's good at playing simple passes in the middle, but he doesn't do anything else. Even in the Swansea game he was anonymous aside from the goal and that one dribble in the first half. He needs to come out of his shell and actually contribute to our attack if he wants to realistically challenge for a place when Theo and Podolski come back, otherwise he'll sink right back to the reserve team for a long time.

I think this shows how much we needed another quality CDM really, like Bender.

Can't see this match prompting many subscribers.

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

Come on guys! :scarf:
