Crystal Palace V Arsenal Monday 4th April 20PM GMT

Btw, how did Guehi escape a yellow card after wrestling Lacazette to the ground? 😆

Oh damn, Eddie off the bar

Eddie has been far better than Laca. The latter should be about 4th choice for Brighton.

Hahaha it's not my fault our team is so predictable!

Just not our bloody day

Palace have been annoyingly professional. Vieira is very good manager.

Let's be honest though, neither are fit to lead the line for a side with Champions League aspirations.

This is a disaster. Game over. This is where Arteta needs to show what he's made of, get the team back on track, we're still in the best position for Top 4, but we cannot afford morale dropping now.

Yep. Brighton at home is a must win and requires a good performance to bring the confidence back.

Brighton will be a hard game, they'll go for it. But we could put a few past them if all goes well, we need to improve our GD after tonight.

Great shot by Eddie, shame that didn't go in.

We need to learn from this. We are much better when we play with intensity. Start Nketiah over Lacazette. Always start Martinelli.

Lokonga looks decent here. Maybe integrate him and get Tomiyasu back in

Don Pacifico

One minor positive is that Sambi has looked better than Partey since he's come on.

lorddulaarsenal

Had this down as our joint second toughest game of the run in

That’s what sources claimed a few weeks back

Palace have been really good to be fair, proper organised, powerful, direct. Reckon West Ham and Spurs are our only remaining tougher games.

Oh well

Not West Ham if they play Europa 3 nights before.

This is Ode’s worst performance for us.

Eddie’s prob best game this season but still didn’t make much difference.

Sambi deserves more football. Should be getting half an hour regularly.

Another positive is that it's just 9 more games and I will never have to watch Lacazette play football ever again

Hugely let down by Partey and Øde after bigging them up. Poor collective intensity, awful marking in a certain area of the pitch.

Bosscielny

Garbage first half. No intensity, composure or physicality across the board. Punished for it and probably lucky to not go in at half time further down. Two soft goals down that left hand side and we never really looked like overturning things. Worrying signs for the rest of the season because that’s not the first time we have found it tough against very physical teams.

Odegaard, Partey, Gabriel and Nuno all really underperformed, which i guess you can excuse Tavares for considering how little he has played. But after tonight i guess you can maybe see why.

Still in our hands but it won’t be for long if we play like that again.

KurtEisner

We looked intimidated from the start, our FBs got torn to shreds, our CBs weren't focused and our midfield got bullied. Saka and Martinelli were the only ones who showed some flashes of quality, was just a poor effort all around. Bad games happen, but we can't afford too many more of them.

I'm getting really worried about our ability to score as well, we have enough quality to create some good chances even on a bad day, but I'm not even sure who I'd want them to fall to.
