Premier League Matchday 1

Eze doing now his Zaha impression.

I like that that's not a handball and I hope it's consistent throughout the season. Gabriel didn't know too much about it, wasn't looking at the ball, and his hands were in a very normal position.

I agree that if this is a consistent interpretation, but they have absolutely called handballs for plays like that last season.

I think it’s not called because his body is compact/his limbs aren’t really extended or in unnatural position. Not much he could have done about that.

Good save Ramsdale but Arsenal needs to step it up. They've taken their foot off the gas a bit.

 

[Blender]

LMAO what a dive.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Xhaka yellow for diving. AT is not playing around this time.

 

[bluesfan94]

Xhaka was expecting to get kicked there but wasn't. Good booking. Probably going to need to take him off in the second half

Arsenal always look dangerous

 

[Jersey Fresh]

 

[AB13]

Has Arteta not learnt his lesson? The agressive pressing still stops when we lead. Dissapointing.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Good. Keep slinging shit at him.

Yeah to themselves. I think they'll finish top four but this isn't the most assuring performance.

 

[Savant]

Good. Keep slinging shit at him.

Keep that same energy for Bissouma

Keep that same energy for Bissouma

Apples and bullshit

They were rampant for 35 minutes and then Palace got back into the game a bit. If Arsenal dominates the second half, I'm not going to hold 10 minutes on the road on Matchday 1 against Arsenal. I'd feel pretty comfortable, tbh.

 

[phisherman]

Keep that same energy for Bissouma

And Ronaldo.

 

[Live in the Now]

Incredible pass and save there.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Eze... that was bad finish.

 

[Blender]

Huge save there.

 

[Rob]

Massive safe by Ramsdale

 

[bluesfan94]

Beautiful pass to play Eze in and good save by Ramsdale, but Arsenal's back four can't switch off like that. I'm not convinced by the White at RB experiment. Never mind it was Odegaard who fell asleep.

 

[Blender]

On the replay, it's clear Eze just shot it straight at him. Awful attempt.

 

[Live in the Now]

White not covering himself in glory here.

 

[bluesfan94]

Fantastic defending from Saliba.
