Martin Keown is frothing at the mouth over this Arsenal performance. Are they that good? Impossible to tell over the radio

I am still seeing same old arsenal. They didn't able to control the game which is their biggest weakness. They are leading 1-0 but struggled to keep the ball when under pressure.

They need to improve that side of game. Now xhaka got needless yellow he has to be careful for whole game.

Every year there's a team the media take a shine to and almost 'will' them into something, last summer that was Chelsea when they got Lukaku, this year it's definitely Arsenal and Jesus
Yeah it’s a bit extreme. Anything linked to Pep and City gets overhyped like mad. We’ve seen it this week £62m Cucurella.

Honestly I get the feeling that the boos are affecting Partey a bit here. Can easily see it being a situation this season that their positive momentum gets disrupted by that whole situation. Absolutely idiotic on their part.
I mean there’s very good reason why clubs take players in his (alleged) situation out of the firing line. So typical of Arteta to think he knows better. Probably spent 20 minutes preparing Partey by scribbling Shawshank Redemption cartoons on a flip chart.

They played well for 15 mins, created one chance, scored a jammy goal from a corner, then did nothing since.

How's Ødegaard playing? I had a feeling he'd be in for a big season.

Hope Palace snatch a draw ...or a late win :D

he has a tendency to do this. Remember when Arteta first took over and he declared that Arsenal were back after about 3 games?
They were the better side for most of the first half but it could easily have been 1-1 at HT. Arsenal only created two good chances and scored one.

Yep. Literally every fan at every ground will boo and whistle his every touch, every game. Do they expect it not to be talked about or that it won't affect the players? Even his teammates must feel uncomfortable.

This style of refereeing is gonna get messy, could have booked any amounts for diving but has only booked one...
