Slack marking from Palace.

Left scorer unmarked at far post.

I think they've been poor.
City up next. Maybe I was too hasty saying they'll be fine

I've also been disappointed by Palace. Expected them to be much more "in your face" when playing an opponent like Arsenal. Of course, Arsenal are playing lovely stuff but you'd expect more of a gameplan by Hodgson when Palace don't have the ball. The space between midfield and attack is quite big which leaves Cabaye and Milivojevic knackered.
This game should be over btw. Özil setting up a teammate instead of finishing it off is typical of Arsenal. They may drop points tonight because of that.

Well Palace have made a strong habit of getting into games they seem outplayed in!

Like a different team now !

EDIT: Arsenal do have Sanchez though to dig the win out..

 

[DarkSithLord]

2 brilliant goals from Sanchez.

My first game in ages tonight.

Wishere is actually really good when you ain't following the cameraman.

Benteke is a disgrace of a footballer, need to cut our losses on him.

We won't go down, we have a handful of difference makers in our side, especially Wilf, who is the best player outside the big six. Although, if we sell him next month we're fucked...

Cabaye is getting on a bit isn't he? Strange to think he was in our World Cup squad (and one of the first names on Deschamps first 11) in Brazil.

It was a good game last night but only because Arsenal are, still, too nice. Özil should have made it 2 in the first half while playing defensive for 15-odd minutes would have avoided the tight scoreline. City would have won this 6-0 (and probably will on Sunday).

 

[Super_horns]

Loads of fuss about not all the players celebrating with Sanchez.

Just media trying to make a story out of nothing or something in it?

 

[Poker]

Well Sanchez certainly looked confused as to why the rest of the team didn't come and celebrate with him.

He's a winner and a fighter and should be at or more ambitious club than Arsenal.
