Win Premier League: Arsenal 5 - 0 Crystal Palace | Saturday 20th January | KO: 12:30 GMT | TNT Sports

Prediction
Arsenal 2-1 Crystal Palace

 

[El Realista]

People think I'm trolling when I say Rice might be the 3rd best number 6 at Arsenal.

He is the best recovering, shielding and covering the spaces. The worst progressing the ball.

Great win. Good subs. Delighted to see our LWs scoring again.

 

[Rasmi]

Our counters are taking off ever since Rice left the game

I didn’t want to say it. But it hit me today. 60% of our dead football is on him. 20% havertz and 20% Arteta being scared. But the pass from Jorginho this guy would never hit and it’s an easy pass

 

[Plutarch]

It's always great to see Arsenal score five goals. I'm pleased we scored two goals from set pieces. Even a team who aren't playing that well right now like Crystal Palace still know how to defend corners.

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

Not going to have perfectly weighted passes with just the keeper to beat twice a game, let alone twice every ten games.

Martinelli and Trossard are probably our best finishers, I’d back him to score there 9/10 times. The issue with him is everything else as Arteta refuses to simplify his role.

Yeah this is why I have said our problems are more to do with our tactics rather than the personal. We need to find a way to create more clear cut chances during the game (not including set plays).

This Palace team won't get near relegation btw.

Tells you all you need to know about the standards in England in 2024, actually embarrassed to tell people I watch PL football these days.

Not sure how them and Fulham are around the same place on the table, I thought Fulham were 100x better.

Yep. I think we’re good enough to carry a passenger like Havertz as long as we’re flowing fast and free. Kai will even play a good pass from time to time to contribute. It also shows Partey is a unicorn type player.

That first win after a slump is always going to be a slog to be honest. Its just the way we play, even at the best of times.

What's more important here is that we get back into our groove, particularly upfront. Such results brings back the confidence, and the much needed fluidity and decision making back.

Hopefully bro your word in God's ear. Was an insanely draining watch but three pts and all most important etc pp

Good things about this match:

1. Someone in Dubai did teach Arteta how the substitutions works in football.

2. ESR is a better midfielder than Havertz and immediately circulates the ball faster and better. He reminds me Özil in the way he moves without the ball, even the jogging and when he sprints (bad for him because Arteta hated Özil and hates every player with that sense of intelligence because they are not robots to control).

3. Martinelli can score if LCM is doing what a midfielder does so he is not isolated.

4. Jorginho shows what Rice lacks, quality long pass. Breaking lines with a nice pass to the open spaces is something Rice can't do and maybe he never will develop. That's something very difficult to learn.

Taught Arteta how substitutions work

I swear your posts are both insightful and stupid at the same time.

Gabriel’s teeth defy physics

Has to be experimental Ademantium or some other type of indestructible alloy.

 

[HattoriHanzo]

Arteta remembered his Everton days when his manager was David Moyes.
2 goals from corner, 3 goals from counters
Raya's preasist for 3rd goal was perfect
Jorginho's asist for 5th goal also.
As I already said, Jorginho shoild have played more last mointh.

Dont think we are out of trouble just yet. Next game will be important to see if we have found our feet again. We had that win against Brighton in the recent poor run as well.

 

[North5]

Should try Nelli as CF for a stint, will never happen though

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

How we lose three in row and still 11 points ahead of Manchester United?

Has to. You can see them from outer space.

Yeah I don’t think he will ever be 100 million player. Great attitude. Just not enough natural talent or vision. Another weird thing is he does everything to avoid first touch on his left foot, so a lot of the time his touch takes him back to where the ball came from. It’s small things like that which effects the whole flow

 

[Macho]

Goal fest after Rice goes off?

Coincidence and a sh*t Palace.

That win was for Mr Positive Positivity @SA Gunner

And your toxic negativity gets put away for another fortnight

Good day all round.
