Jesus we got spanked.
Zero chance of winning the title.

It's not just that they didn't have oppertunities to assist, our midfield failed to control the game. We should be passing that team off the pitch in theory.
Tactics, formations.....yada yada.....Wenger will never win another league again. Or win a first European trophy.
Yeah it definatly has. Thing is if we aren't explosive with quick passes getting in behind we generally turn into Barca lite, passing it around the final third and wait for an oppertunity. We didn't even manage to do that effectivly.That is were I have huge problem with this game. Because we don't work on defending strategies or attacking strategies because we never seem to have plan. So the only thing left is to work on passing. But our passing after whole pre-season to get it together, was a way off.
Anyway, I also felt our attack was not all that good in the second part of last season when Sanchez goals dried up a bit. I think our attack has been a huge problem for a while now.
Hopefully we will see something new next game.
What so they don't matter or something?
We had more possession, more attempts and more attempts on goal, lost 2-0.
Title winners can lose such games and play worse too. Seen it loads of times before. At least we got our disappointment early. We have plenty of time to rectify it.

We only started to have more attempts around the 80th minute mark. It took us that long to trouble their keeper. That's forever a recurring theme with us.
We have plenty of time to rectify it, but it gives us a smaller margin for error from now on. Our team really shouldn't have needed a wake-up call first game of the season. But it's a habit we love to get into. If we bounce back against Palace, i'd back us to go on a nice winning streak. But our next game is so important now.
