Arteta said Gabriel is a doubt for the game as he had a minor issue against Atletico and hasn't trained.

May be time for Mosquera to come in to partner Saliba...

 

Yeah not worth risking him. I guess Hincapie is actually the natural left sided replacement - but Mosquera has the Prem Experience now and has looked great when he's played.

 

Gonna be a tough game.

Much like Fulham, Another team that took points off us last Season. A win would be a big.

 

I know he's been getting goals, but not a huge fan of Trossard starting games. I really do think we need a more dynamic LW option.

Other than that, good team fielded.

Palace will be a tricky test. Let's hope we can get the 3 points.

 

Martinelli was a player of the month for September as voted for by the fans.
He's unlucky not to be starting.

 

This is the kind of game we have to win, I think. We can't show weakness now.

 

Pathetic performance in the first 20.
Zero urgency.

 

25 mins gone and it's not been great from us. It's been extremely flat.

They've defended well, closed down the spaces in between the lines and have looked dangerous on the counter.

You wouldn't think we're the ones who've had two days extra rest...

 

Zubimendi and Eze both been extremely sloppy so far. Turning over possession too easily.

 

We have taken boring football to a new level.
This is horrendous to watch

 

Agreed
Both of them have been poor.

 

32 minutes
0 shots
At home
Absolutely appalling performance and appalling football

 

This has been Zubimendi's worst performance by a country mile.

 

Why are we not closing down the space when they have possession? We're not counter pressing at all. Very bizarre performance.

 

Gyokeres and Eze were free, and Trossard decides to take an extra touch, and the chance is gone.

 

Yes! Great finish Eze!

 

1-0. Eze.

Against the run of play, but that's a top goal. Scissor kick finish.

 

Referee's been far too lenient with the Palace players. A few of them should have bookings and he's let them off.

 

You could even argue the foul on Saka was a red. Deliberate stamp on the top of the foot. No yellow even was a joke
