Football that has taken advantage of our errors...?
My point is that I don't believe this performance is wildly different from what we see week in, week out. The margins are regularly quite fine, we don't convert enough chances and make mistakes at the back. Today we're getting punished.
I disagree with that. We played much better than this 80% of the time this season. We have been completed dominated, out passed out pressed and out tactic today. Zero intensity, zero chances created.
Palace is a tough place to come but this performance is more than disappointing.
Fair do. I've said the same when we've won games and stand by the fact that I think we've been lucky a fair bit with our wins (Villa and Wolves as recent examples). Hopefully, Arteta can instill a bit more control in the second half so that we can shave something from the match. Worry (as ever) about the lack of bench options.
For the record, I had this down as a draw in my (pessimistic) predictor. 🙁
