Thought our game plan good. First goal so early on in 2nd half a killer.
Just thought we should have maybe pushed up a bit more. Thought KG looked very cumbersome and static in midfield.
However thought WBA gave a better show against Liverpool but then we will have new additions available for them.
Guess Pullis didn't want a 4 or 5 nill so just wanted to play game out.

the team and our supporters can walk out of there with heads held high. we may not be as well off money wise as the arse. however, dispite that we gave them a game and supporters did us all proud.

Goal difference very important. Two nil at arsenal not a disaster.

Good game. Massive ask to beat them at home with their defending. I thought KG was out of place at times, Bolasie and Puncheon had sloppy games. A+ fan support!

Nobody in their right mind would have expected us to come away with anything from that game
Baggies next. Bring 'em on.

I agree. I think that Punch looks like a confidence player and he looked as if he was dwarfed by the occasion toady; like he felt he didn't belong on the pitch.
Bolasie whose attitude, commitment and naivete I love, does look out of place to me. He'll do dell, initially, with a run but then the number of times he'll spoil it all by hot-headedly hoofing the ball nowhere and conceding possession.
It's not like he hasn't had time to learn the lesson. He just keeps making the same mistake. That is the sign, imo, of a player who isn't progressing.
I have a feeling that he'll have trouble keeping his place now that Ince is here.

I thought that in general we did well today.
As mentioned by other posters Punch looked like he lacked a bit of confidence today and Yannick, as much as I like to see him play still does not do the basics of the game at the right time.

Watched the game from the Arsenal end as I suspect many did. The noise from our fans in the opposite corner was immense. It's a pitywe couldn't get anything out of it today but both goals came from two sloppy lapses and the best teams punish those.

Thought it was a hard working display against a top side once again. However I am a little concerned with how we always seem to concede shortly after the interval. Undoes all the hard work of the first 45 and takes a lot out of the players to go behind then.

I think you could be right there. He got himself into good positions but squandered the opportunities when they came. I like Yannick but i fear for him.

....but with the new additions I hope it will provide Bolasie with more options for his final ball, often has nowhere to go and with little help, thought today he played very well and kept Arsenal busy.
.......has our coach driver done a Poo'yet, without thinking about Gus!

Thought Bolasie (being a boyhood Arsenal fan) seemed a bit star struck by te occasion. Shame as he is capable of better and he will be replaced by Ince very soon.
You don't pay a loan fee as big as £1m and not play the boy. Plus you're not going to drop Punch. He's our only goal scorer right now

Personally can see Jerome getting the chopp and either punch or ince playing behind chammers

im one of Bolasies biggest fans, but if im honest at this level he would be far more effective as a impact sub, to run at tired fullbacks he will the have more time hopefuly stop panicking and make the rite decisions.

I thought Balasie gave it a way far too much throughout the game & second half Punch went missing,we definately miss him when he is not firing. But your right generally too many below par today, On the plus side barring Everton we have now played all the top teams away from home, Think we have to write this one off, and look forward to the new recruits blending in over the next week & three points on Saturday

Back from the game-- Palace showed great spirit but some of our players were not at the races today,KG was poor and will be replaced by Ledley,Balasie was wasteful and will be replaced by Ince,Puncheon was completely out of sorts and Speroni could have done better with Arsenals second goal so Hennesseys turn might come sooner rather than later
Chamakh as always had lovely touches but we have no cutting edge and we may have to rely on Ince and Ledley for those extra goals with a shot shy forward line.Oh for a fit GM!

No guarantee of course that Murray will be our saviour.He will be returning after a long lay off and he has never played in the Premier League.

Remember KG has been injured and had to play when not match fit

Not so much given away as a brilliant piece of play by one of the best teams in the league.
