Saka is so good.
It's kind of funny to watch defenders dance along while marking Martin, and then stumble because they can't keep up
HOLY FUCK IT'S HAPPENING
Lol really? Is that how they're going to play it?
Oh fuck....
Prepare for prime Hodgsonball from Palace
Looooooooooool you're serious now?
I don't know why Arteta doesn't make some changes at the hour mark. Trossard for Nketiah, even Gabriel for Tommy.
You get some fresh legs up top, and a solid defense.
Tangent: Holy shit we're lucky.
Because you don't make changes when things are looking like the 2nd goal is around the corner and no one is struggling
He's a Pep disciple
On a non-sarcastic note, I don't like how tired we look. Should be safe to assume we'll make at least two more fresh legs subs
We haven't looked a sharp as how we started last season, still fatigued
HOLD THE BALL
I absolutely hope that NBC does not put Andros Townsend on more of the games, irritating af
Saying the palace non-penalty was the only thing the refs got wrong made me crack up laughing
So many cards this match it's like Christmas
Oh, Oleks... you know you can't do that
All 11 of our players in defense.
Really prefer White in that RB position. Hope Gabi gets back into the team soon.
3 points won but we need to return to a back four with Zinchenko, Gabriel, Saliba and White.
Maybe Zina for Kai? Tomiyasu status at LB.
I'm glad to see this cynicism with fast starts from free kicks, but... perhaps.... maybe.... we could do something with it?

EYO
If an opposing player held back a counter attack like that, we'd be demanding a yellow card. It's unfortunate, but he was in trouble when he got the first card for time wasting, he couldn't take that chance.
I wonder if this means that Gabriel will actually start the next match. I haven't been happy with this weird makeshift back 4 anyhow.
Exactly, it was a counter and he was baited by the turn. It isn't enough for a yellow imo but it is still a foul. Whether or not it is a yellow is up to the refs discretion. Still you shouldn't be baited with a swivel like that at this level.
You have to be aware you're on a yellow card too. Even if you get baited, you have to rely on your other defenders. He was in Palace's half at the time, so there was time to get back.
Correct, he didn't have any situational awareness and Ayew took the contact and made it appear worse than it is
I was always surprised that Wenger never seemed to try to bring in one of the Ayew brothers. They seem very much like Wenger players. Smart and technical while not the traditional blueprint of a striker / winger.

At least we're getting that call for us. Eze with we great skills.
Odegaard and Eddie way too one-footed
Partey hit the goddamn ISS with that clearance
Nelli should have buried it😕😣
My twerk kings coming on
Saka doing just enough to keep him off balance but not fouling.
Pretty sure all of Palace's in-box touches came from Eze dancing around Rice
Damn it Eddie look up for a change
Jorgi coming on...
