The crowd groans have started early

 

[hawkman]

Should have been a foul

Should have been a foul

I'm sure Arteta will still complain about it in the post match.

I'm sure Arteta will still complain about it in the post match.

It is more of a foul than the Newcastle one that sent Arteta on his rant

 

[hawkman]

Surely Ramsdale's distribution can't be that much worse than Raya's

 

[Rustin Cohle]

I cannot stand Jesus' stupid facial expression.

 

[hawkman]

Henderson is awful

 

[hawkman]

Woy's last game?

2-0 up and the library is near silent.

2-0 up and the library is near silent.

2 set pieces. The actual play has been pretty average

 

[hawkman]

Saka knocked over by a feather again

 

[Rustin Cohle]

What a ****ing dive

 

[And_ROOS]

Checking offside for that? Oh VAR no

 

[Camros2]

Mateta is ****ing awful

 

[hawkman]

Arteta is an idiot. 3-0 up and cruising, 5 subs used and Saka is still on the pitch. The management skills are terrible

I think Rice and Gabriel coming off with knocks changed the plans.

 

[And_ROOS]

Feel sorry for Palace fans, they have talent despite the injuries to be doing better than this. 3-0 loss and Arsenal have cruised all game, and I'd imagine clubs will come in for Olise and Eze and why wouldn't they want to leave this?

Why are you taking Havertz and Trossard off to start with? Give them the full game against a weak team to get their confidence up. Which then allows you to rotate the players you actually need to rest

Arsenal don’t play next weekend. And didn’t play last weekend. Making a player play 90 minutes in three weeks? What an idiot.

Martinelli just gets a brace to boost his confidence and ESR needs minutes.

Havertz off to get ESR minutes in that position. Trossard off get Martinelli time to find some form. It’s not very complicated.

 

[glenferry23]

Palace were terrible and offered little threat.

Strange game. Not often I’d say a 5-0 win wasn’t as convincing as the score line suggests. Arsenal very much needed that win and a very welcome 3 points.

Those three second half goals were all excellent in their own way. 3 essential points to hopefully reignite the league campaign.

Distant 5th best team in the league. Will do well to hang on to where they are.

 

[samFFC]

Some excellent finishes in the Forest / Bees match.

 

[Frank Bunn]

There's some controversy about Toney's free kick. You can see the white spray mark where the ref placed the ball. While the ref wasn't looking Toney twice moved the ball to the right, allowing him to bend it round the wall. The BBC report said he even moved some of the foam.
