PL: Crystal Palace v Arsenal | December 28, 2017 | 20:00 GMT | Sky Sports

[Camron]

Chambers done well considering this is his first start in a over a year, and against Zaha.

Chambers was solid. First time I've been impressed with him.

 

[Prawn Sandwich]

Feared Crystanbul karma was going to bit me, but it worked out well.

Brb.. off to troll Liverpool pals about chucking it away at Crystal Palace!

 

[skip spence]

We won a football game. Away from home. I'll take that.

Alexis obviously MoM. Super game from the great little Chilean.

Jack is looking better and better too.

 

[Makingtrax]

Apart from a couple of errors Bellerin played well today. If Laca had been further forward he might have converted one or two.

Much better.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

We can surely do better than Zaha as well.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Cech - 5
Bellerin - 7
Chambers - 6
Mustafi - 7
Koscielny - 5
Seo - 6
Xhaka - 6
Wilshere - 7
Sanchez - 8
Özil 7
Lacazette - 6

 

[Camron]

Coq for Laca sub made us worse. Laca helps us in possession a lot as well as win back the ball.

Yup. And to reward him he should be there past the 70 min mark to poach a goal. Strikers need goals for confidence.

Chambers was solid. First time I've been impressed with him.

He’s been impressive for 75% of his Arsenal career.

I find most Arsenal fans are either too harsh or don’t know how to judge a young player.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Always entertaining til the very end with The Arsenal.
Zaha is so good.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Apart from a couple of errors Bellerin played well today. If Laca had been further forward he might have converted one or two.

Much better.

He was ok. That stupid play to try to head the ball around the player instead of just punting it led to their second goal though, totally needless.

 

[arsmile]

I like xhaka-jack-Özil all central- we move everything round clockwise with all that left foot in there and teams just are not used to it

 

[jato]

We should be very grateful for the three points. After the results elsewhere nothing else would have been acceptable. Now we really need to start putting teams to the sword.

We were lucky with the chances that CP had, especially Zaha missing his header out so close from goal. Only good thing Bellerin did all game was a slight push in the back when Zaha went for his header.

Generally overall decent performance by the majority of the team. The subs were useless and actually worked completely against Arsenal.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Mustafi been our best defender. The others massively off form specially bellerin I think he should benched for Niles. He just been pethatic the 2nd goal we conceded because of him giving the ball away by over dribbling

 

[A_G]

Thought Zaha was excellent.

Any thoughts on his miss from 3 yards out?

 

[pacstud]

She ain't pretty, but she's got tits.

 

[Makingtrax]

Chelsea lost 2-1 at Palace. We dominated most of that match and played some good football.

 

[Big Poppa]

At 3-1 up Wenger played into Palace's hands by taking off Lacazette for Coquelin.

We lost our purpose at that point and had neither a focal point not width high up the pitch.

All we did was invite pressure and hope that we had the numbers to deal with it.

 

[NieThePiet]

How Bellerin can be that bad defensively? Offensively he was better today, but especially Zaha run everytime behind him.

Chambers was solid, good with the ball, but struggled with the pace of Zaha. Mustafi was the best in the back.

Xhaka and Wilshere was great, Sanchez MotM (best game this season) and Laca and Özil worked well.

Palace was 8 games unbeaten, it's a good away win. They had two shots on goal, two goals.

 

[GDeep™]

Any thoughts on his miss from 3 yards out?

Happens to every player.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Well we won. The GD should have been better and yet again, we are suspect defensively. On a cold night away from home, I'll take this result but boy did we make it more nervy than it needed to be. Bellerin was decent going forward but awful when behind the ball! The same mistake was made every time. We need to sharpen up at both ends but finally our MF looks functional lol.
