Crystal Palace V Arsenal, KO Aug 5, 2000 BST

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.

Maybe Tierney comes in and Zinchenko goes into CM, but I've not seen him play there other than against Scotland when he was imperious, tbf, but it was against Scotland, tbf.
