    Not sure why Wenger thinks Wilshere is a better option than Rosicky

    First 25 mins we totally dominated, moved the ball really well, very fast paced.
    Then palace had a couple of counters and our players stopped finding as much space, not offering enough for the ball. We still controlled the game and started to look lively again just before they then scored. After that we got the equaliser but we need to come out fast in the second half.

    Glad Sanchez has made an impact already with an assist in his first game.

    Decent start but our sharpness is clearly not there. Palace set themselves up very well and both goals came about from defensive mistakes. I was impressed with Chambers, he clearly has talent. I didn't think Sanogo was that bad and Sanchez is adapting well. Cazorla and Wilshere need to pick it up. We should play better next half.

    Need to bring the Ox on and get somebody running around the back.

    Trying to thread the ball through isn't working at the moment.

    Don't see how we're going to break this down. They're playing too tight and compact trying to hold on for the draw.

    Right to bring on OXO, he will bring some much needed speed and run at their defence.

    That's the difference Ox and Giroud are making. Sanogo's retention skills are pour and was hurting our attacks

    In all fairness palace defence is shattered and they're both fresh. Good game though

    True their defense is tiring but wedidn't retain the ball enough with Sanogo.

    It's a shame we didn't take Cazorla off for Rosicky.

    No doubts he will get better but Sanchez has been poor.

    Need more pace in the team, Walcott fit would be a big plus for you.
