    Didn't play well but we got the result we needed. Showed some character.

    Should be noted Giroud looked a big improvement on Sanogo.

    Tough first game, Palace played well and frustrated us but we fought well and got a result.

    Not as slick going forward as we're used to, but to be expected to a degree on opening day. Great result in the end and if we play like that and grab last minute winners throughout the season, then I'll be a happy bunny <ok>

    This was far from a vintage performance but we grinded out the result. We will play much better than this.

    Great to get the result, less said about the performance the better.

    It's quite clear we still need another striker....

    Definitely the sort of game we used to drop points in.

    There's a lot of positives despite not really playing well.

    I felt we should win that game going in today but blimey! Credit to palace, if they show that kind of heart this season they will be fine. That boy Ramsey eh! :) 3 points and first game pressure is over.

    Pleased we won despite not playing well at all. Sometimes it's the best way to win.

    I think there are still weaknesses in this team but I hope Wenger will make a few signings before the window shuts. A lot to work on but also a lot to admire today, we never stopped fighting. <ok>

    Was at the game and all that struck me was that Sonogoals should never start a game for any premier league club, let alone us. Loan him to a conference team until he learns to play football.
