What I like also is how he manages to get ahead of the player and take the ball off them from behind, neither Flamini nor Arteta are capable of that.
TBH I think Pardrew made a mistake by not playing Bolasie, he is a very good player and has been causing us trouble ever since he came on, was surprised he didn't start.
Don't get me wrong I will be delighted with the points but this type of performance by us is concerning for me and its not the first of its kind either,we have had a week off and our lads look like they are wearing lead boots,you have to earn the right to play I don't see that with our guys.We don't have enough physical presence for these types of games.
Personally, I'm pleased that we seem to be taking a 'measured' approach to the game rather than running around hell for leather. We have a big game midweek.
I think we've been fairly comfortable for this game, and we were never going to play amazing today, away to C.Palace is not an easy game, and I think we have shown a lot of steel in this game, not been soft at all.
Well they scrambled one in after a crazy ricochet off a few players. 45 seconds to hold out for the win.
