Incredibly familiar and again it comes down to who we have in central midfieldQuote:

Freekick to us, dangerous area.
Decent effort from Odegaard.
Cmon Arsenal get a second ffs
White booked.
What happened there? :lol:
Come on Saka.
Not sure why it has taken this long until changes.
Zinchenko off, Tierney on.
Jesus off, Nketiah on.
SAKA!!!
OG probably.
Get the fuck in
Great win. Clean sheet.
Xhaka MotM
0-2 FT. :bow:
Good result but performance worries me, we are very good defensively I think Saliba is excellent but I still wonder where the chances to create goals comes from when we can’t keep possession and are pushed back for long spells. It’s not a beginning of the season thing it’s the way it was especially away from home for most of the season. This is why I keep saying a central midfielder is an absolute necessity. Xhaka just not good enough. That link between defence and attack just isn’t there.
Need two players in my opinion, a central midfielder and an attacking right sided winger.
Agree with that.Quote:

If we don’t sign Tielemans that Lego haired autistic can fuck off
We did win 2-0 you know, Palace away has been a very tricky tie for us in recent years
And? The result is good…the performance was same oldQuote:

We have yet again not done enough in the transfer market, the fact that we’ve come into the season without a central midfielder is criminal.
Being dominated for two thirds of the game by a mid table team is not something I enjoy sorry
We started the 92/93 season much better tbf. Much more enjoyableQuote:

I would agree IF this wasn’t the same kind of performance we saw constantly last season that saw us lose as many games as we won on the roadQuote:

Saliba was excellent, he plays with such maturity the way he closes down space for attackersQuote:

I wonder where Zim got to. He’s probably out there somewhere moaning about something
He’s alive and well in the other place
