    This game isn't finished yet. We need to make sure we don't let Palace score as otherwise the last 15 mins is going to be hell.

    Perez and El Neny off. Coq and Ramsey on.

    Be interesting to see our shots stats at the end of the game. We've had loads. On another day we could easily be 4-0

    Elneny aint top class but you have to love his work rate and enthusiasm.

    He always gives 100%

    He's solid without being spectacular. Done a decent job today and a valuable squad member.

    Liverpool.

    In the right side he could still be a formidable player. He's a good old fashioned battering ram of a striker.

    Overall today has been a decent performance but you have to worry that we are still not efficient enough.

    2 goals from over 20 shots! .. That's not top class.

    Full Time. Perez, Iwobi and Xhaka all had decent games.

    Giroud stopped working after he scored.

    Good result but overall not efficient enough. Should have scored at least 4.

    I think Monreal+Sanchez and Bellerin+Perez played really well today. Made space for each other, combined well and pulled the palace players out of shape.

    Xhaka was really good in the middle. He covered a lot of ground, was good defensively and spread passes around the pitch with ease. I like him a lot.

    Cech looked solid.

    Giroud scored a wonder goal. Best I've seen in a long time!

    Overall it was a good performance where we dominated and created throughout and barely gave up any opportunities to palace. A clean sheet too. Exactly what we need at this time of the season as the games start to pile up.

    Hopefully the players with illness recover in time for our next game.

    That Bellerin /Perez combo worked really well today. I really liked what I saw Perez today and I think he's got a good shout for a starting place.

    Overall, the bigger picture is that we've finally got some good depth through the squad, and at this time of year it's vital

    I thought Xhaka was great. Barely gave the ball away except at the end one time.

    And I was impressed by Gabriel. Dealt with Benteke well and he is faster than I thought.

    Xhaka is really growing into this team. He's got all of his best years ahead of him too, so he could develop into a really important player for us.
