PL: Arsenal vs Crystal Palace | Thursday 14th January | KO:20:00 | Sky Sports

[Tourbillion]

Worrying and uninspiring.

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

You could see where this game was going after 15 minutes when we were playing 30 passes in our own third before crossing the halfway line.

We were probably trying to get back to our average earlier in the season of making 60 passes before getting off a single shot.

It's alright lads al-ustad will do a khutba at central mosque tomorrow about how it is incumbent upon all believers in the righteous path of Allah and the prophet (PBUH) to trust that we will sign quality during this transfer window because of course Edu is a miraculous negotiator. 2024 and we'll be winning the treble. Trust the process!

 

[Breezy]

We drew 0-0 people acting like we got turned over 3-0.

That soul destroying performance felt worse than some 0-3 loss tbh.

 

[Rex Stone]

Little hints in that game how good we could have been with Wilf.

Sad hours.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Today game was very similar to Brighton an average/poor performance but magic from Saka and good finish from laca win us the game. In some games you want that because not always you going to win by 3 or 4 specially the state of our team this season we missed this today

He would have lost his s**t by now because refs give us zero fouls.

 

[Wrighty4eva]

Arsenal are the biggest D!ck tease going these days.

@truth_hurts
Quality all over the pitch again.

Most bounced off his bald patch and kept the ball boys busy.

First time ever Arsenal have failed to score against Palace at home in the PL. Another record @boxerumble

Written in the stars ain't it?

Which one we breaking next Monday?

I’m sure Orbinho will post an obscure one closer to the game.

We drew 0-0 people acting like we got turned over 3-0.

We drew 0-0 against a team which got beat 7-0 a couple of games back and who probably cost little more put together than Pepe cost us.

We should be beating these teams at home on a routine basis. if we don't we'll struggle to get in the top half, let alone higher up the league.

Leagues changed and we don't have a team that can put 3-4 against and after that just be comfortable well need to get better going forward that just we missing

Uninspiring performance against a well organised Hodgson team who have ballers on the break.

ESR drifted left to right to create overloads and occassionally found a decent position in space but couldn't do much with it. I prefer him in the middle making combinations there. So does Laca.

I don't think we're far away (with what we have) but the team needs more variety in their build up patterns, and more incisive direct passing through the midfield lines. Ceballos and Xhaka offer the same thing - Partey is so comfortable playing in those crowded midfields and is able to play a short pass that immediately breaks the press. He will raise us.

We've won 4 and drawn 1 out of the last 5 games, which is decent. Much improvement needed but no need to blow a gasket.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

The problem this season are clear 20 goals only in 18 league games that worse that midtable and did cost us challenging for top 4 at least there is still 2nd half to come so we should at least look to double that number because at the moment is dire even if our defense is 4th best in first half of season and that big positive but seem it's taking too much offensively.

We didn't need 7, just 1. We'd better beat Newcastle because our good run has been shorter than our bad one therwise and then we'll be in the caca again.

 

[1 other person]

Lackluster but not worrying. Xhaka was great. Bellerin was great. Auba showed signs of confidence. Holding still solid. Laca and the young guns showed intent and even if they ultimately produced no goals, they were showing a will to work for it until the last whistle blew. The subs were on point too.
I’m very disappointed by the result, but it’s looking up for our boys

 

[Polar Bear]

Very boring match to be honest, did not enjoy any of it. I felt like we were never gonna score.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

684 passes completed today 68% possession its just frustrating at times with all that we created little. Scoring early in these type of games becoming more important because other teams will grow confidant and we'll grow frustrated.

 

[Jack_the_boy]

Palace defended very well and were well organised. We didn’t have the confidence to lose markers and run at them like we did against West Brom.
That one goal makes all the difference in games like these.
