That really should be 1-1

Lone Star Red · « **Reply #121 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:42:22 pm »

Nice to see that Zaha is still a petulant twat who goes down at the slightest touch.

Good save. Should be 1-1

First proper chance for Palace.

Someone take the sticks from that drummer.

OkieRedman · « **Reply #125 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:43:31 pm »

Head it into the ground.

mobydick · « **Reply #126 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:44:06 pm »

Straight at him but still a good chance.

That Chelsea/BS game could be interesting with both teams in a mess.

Xhaka

awful dive

Hazell · « **Reply #130 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:45:15 pm »

Who had Xhaka getting booked in the first game of the season?

For a dive, surprisingly.

Oskar · « **Reply #131 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:45:21 pm »

Pointless Xhaka yellow card, the PL is well and truly back.

rafathegaffa83 · « **Reply #132 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:45:49 pm »

Normal service resumes for Xhaka. A shame Anthony Gordon won't receive that treatment every week

Ghost Town · « **Reply #133 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:46:01 pm »

Lol at Xhaka

Dim Glas · « **Reply #134 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:46:41 pm »

Edouard doing well there, shame he couldn’t finish it.

Max_powers · « **Reply #135 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:47:31 pm »

Arsenal on the ropes

That was good work. Palace having a few openings after being overrun early.

Right, is there actually a worse player in the league than Ayew?

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #138 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:48:00 pm »

There’s got to be better options than Schlupp and Ayew in 2022, surely.

Tom Davies is worse. Ayew is pretty awful tho. Don't know what he is good at.

Lynndenberries · « **Reply #140 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:49:30 pm »

Jesus gives them some life in attack, but I still don’t trust their back line at all.

Olise could play in the middle (at least better than Schlupp) but he's out injured. He'd probably be out wide anyway.

The other midfield injury Palace have is James MacArthur, so.... not great in terms of options

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #142 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:51:20 pm »

Palace just need to keep lumping the ball over the top.

Always been impressed by Andersen. Every other Palace player has been wank.

Lynndenberries · « **Reply #143 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:51:44 pm »

Thought Ayew did alright. Tracked back and helped give them some relief at times.

Lone Star Red · « **Reply #144 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:52:12 pm »

15 goals and 10 assists in 134 appearances for Ayew, while at Palace. Seems bad.

He was 5/4 with Paddy Power to get a red card this season. Mad odds

Wanted him here before we got Konate. Think he's a very good defender.

Palace should now just do everything to wind him up

It is, but at least in this match, he’s not really there to do either. Zaha, Eduoard, and Eze have all been playing higher up the pitch.

Can’t believe I’m sitting here during the first match of the season defending Ayew

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #149 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:54:58 pm »

Palace came more into the game at the end, but it looked as though Arsenal's tempo dipped somewhat, is that mainly down to how fit they are at the moment?

skipper757 · « **Reply #150 on:** August 5, 2022, 08:55:00 pm »

Mateta is on the bench, but I suppose he's more of an out-and-out scorer, and Ayew can be more "flexible" and track back and such, especially with Edouard upfront.

They need Olise back.

Chelsea have been far from impressive so far themselves and it sounds as though everything is a mess there. They should still be able to beat them, but first day of the season, surprises can happen.

Did Michael Thomas just score, because if so, I think yes

Think people are over playing the fact they are in a state.

Their side is still strong

If the first half hasn’t endet yet, then yes.

Interviewing managers at half time?

I hope this isn't a thing this season.
