So we’re only 1 point above Arsenal now, with them having already played City, Chelsea and Spurs :lol:

Yeah I agree to be fair, I’ve posted a few times already that he just needs to stay quiet, he’s as clueless as your average fan anyway.
Called Sancho a victim of the squad today, I mean the guy cost £75m..

Yeah, I don't know what people expect. Well, aside from expecting him to say verbatim what they want him to say.

Neville has been pretty consistent in not outright saying a United manager should be sacked, same with Moyes, LvG, Jose and Ole. It's not because he's Oles mate as people portray it (although it's an extra factor in his chosen PC stance). Heck, with Jose, just months before he was sacked Neville was laying into the board saying what a disgrace sacking him would be.
I sometimes think he oversteps the mark but even he knows that asking for a manager to be sacked is a terrible thing to do for a person in his position.

People thinking he’s going to ask for Ole’s head are mad.

Quite an enjoyable game so far, Mike Dean must have forgot his whistle tonight

Arsenal must be the slowest team in the world to take throw-ins. It's always been like this and i don't get it :lol:

Palace have been trash in the final third. So many good opportunities to make Arsenal pay for their sloppiness.

Playing OK again but another poor goal to give away and you’re not winning games with Ayew and Benteke. Frustrating we can’t seem to get our best attackers on the pitch.

Again not really controlling the midfield. It's when you watch games like this you see what Xhaka brings to a team, for all his faults. Need to find a long term replacement for him.

CP need to get Olise on, Benteke and Ayew have been awful.
Yeah. Not sure why PV started with all three of Eduouard, Ayew and Benteke. Neither are ball carriers like Zaha. Olise would have been more of a natural replacement. Also, given how he performed against Leicester, it was a surprise that he didnt start.

Arsenal are so negative, if Crystal Palace had Zaha tonight they would easily be level.

They are just terrible. I thought the recent uptick in results meant Arteta was doing something different but nope.

Got very lucky against Brighton too.

The mind boggles when Aubameyang gets lauded for his 'high work rate' when all he's done is sprint a few times!!
Absolutely hilarious punditry there, other than the four sprints they showed and one track back he's been fairly passive,

Arsenal can't defend in their own half and their pressing is neither organised or intense enough to cover for it.

I don't think we mean to play negative. You don't start Odegaard, Smith-Rowe, Saka, Pepe & Aubameyang if you want to play negative. I actually think it's 1 too many, as we aren't controlling the midfield, so are actually struggling to get on the ball.
