Interesting that oxo is coming on. Attacking sub - I guess Ramsey and santo in the centre and Sanchez and oxo on the flanks
The referee threw us a lifeline. He really should've gone in the first half let alone a minute ago. That's his inexperience showing. Hope we buy a DM before the window closes.
Well at least we won. But we still cannot defend set pieces, defence overall does not look good. Arteta looked good though when he came on.
****ing brilliant, 3 points in the bag. Tough game that and credit to Palace, I think they'll do okay this season.
FT. 2-1. Harder work than it needed to be, but at least we won. We were fortunate on occasion, with Wickham hitting post and Coquelin staying on, but we had the bulk of the chances and we should have put the game to bed a lot earlier. At least we have got our season up and running. Onto Liverpool!
PHEW, did just enough.Much improvement needed in certain areas,but having said that Palace is always a tough task for us at their spot.
