All he needs now is centre back and a stint in goal

So happy we went for Daka over Edouard

Yep. Done it a fair bit. For as much as he looked brain dead at times, his general footballing intelligence has always been pretty highly rated.

 

In the top 2 divisions he's played in the following positions for an extended period of time and done well: 

 

Full back,

Wing back,

Winger,

Centre mid,

Attacking mid/number 10,

Striker

 

That's pretty amazing. Not good enough as a starter for us but he'd still be a great squad option

Why did Eze not get booked for a dive? 

[coolhandfox]

Eze learning from Zaha.

 

Bellyflop.

[Sampson]

Arsenal will struggle to make the top 6 on this performance. Largely outplayed by Palace.

Game over. Fluky goal. 

[Corky]

Riotous celebration from the Arsenal fans there. I think one nearly dropped his phone.

[PhillippaT]

Oh dear.

Cos he isn’t xhaka ….

[Leicesterpool]

No doubt Arsenal supporters will go on claiming they'll go on to win the league... looked bang average tonight despite the win. Ramsdale been key tonight. 

[dmayne7]

Arsenal looked poor from what I've seen but incredibly well organised which is really what will decide it for them.

 

That Eze miss one on one was utterly dreadful

Not sure they’ve been poor. Compare this Arsenal to the one that played Brentford last season first game on a Friday night. While I love nothing more that watching Arsenal revert to type and crumble under a bit of pressure I think they’ve actually done pretty well tonight. Dominated for 20 minutes, took the lead, battles well, and then scored a sucker punch at the end. Good away performance at a difficult place to go. But yes the Eze miss was a game changer

[The Horse's Mouth]

Not to go into it, but it is really odd they don't mention anything about partey yet banged on about Zouma for about month straight on whether he should be playing or not 

[TheSomersetFox]

Arsenal have really widened the gap between us and them this summer

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Without the 2 Man City players Arsenal would of been crap like towards the end of last season

Sort of happens when you spend 250m over two summer windows.

Arsenal fans were ruing their luck that they went for Saliba while we went for Fofana. It’s just swings and roundabouts mate.
