They had less possession, xG was pretty much even throughout and palace as you say were denied a pen. They didn't dominate anything. They started strong and then hung on and relied on Ramsdale who made a couple of very good saves.Arsenal definitely dominated the game and deserved to win, though I think Palace were denied a penalty in the first half when Gabriel clearly handled and which may have changed the game.
I was saying in the fantasy PL thread, he is a world class player in the making. Put him in your PL teams - £4.5 is a steal.Saliba was MOTM. Absolutely fantastic player.

Not the one tonight that everyone is talking about they didn'tArsenal definitely dominated the game and deserved to win, though I think Palace were denied a penalty in the first half when Gabriel clearly handled and which may have changed the game.
That's not how fantasy works.I was saying in the fantasy PL thread, he is a world class player in the making. Put him in your PL teams - £4.5 is a steal.
Yet to see it from Sancho at Premier League level, he's facing a different level of competition to what he's used to and cannot beat the fullbacks.Like fair enough over Rashford if that's your preference, but over Sancho is like saying you prefer Mahrez to Messi, not on the same planet

We were missing Tomiyasu, Vieira & Smith-Rowe as well, but we do need a couple more, I think Arteta has already a said we will look to sign 1 or 2 more.They’re a few players short. Their depth is woeful. Look at that bench..
Why even mention Sancho and Rashford though? Could you not just say you rate Saka and explain why?Yet to see it from Sancho at Premier League level. Saka is a very complete winger and he's added end-product to his game. It's really not that tough of a take that Saka is ahead of him right now.
How many more goals and assists do you think Sancho will get over Saka this season? 5 more? 10 more?Once Saka has achieved anything close to what Sancho achieved, then we can talk (cough having the most league goals and assist before age 20 out of any player after mbappe (just 1 behind) over the past 30+ years).
Its like Nani to Ronaldo. Mahrez to Messi. They aren't in the same tier at all
it's a batshit crazy takeYet to see it from Sancho at Premier League level, he's facing a different level of competition to what he's used to and cannot beat the fullbacks.
Saka is a very complete winger, as well as being younger, he's added end-product to his game. It's really not that tough of a take that Saka is ahead of him right now.
Saliba was actually good, but for Jesus they must be showing the one run he made in about the 5th minute from every possible angle they have.Sky currently cumming over Saliba (new Rio) and Gabby J.
Sancho is 1 year older and by Sakas age had set records for Dortmund with his productivity. Come on. Surely you can see some sense that United having a disaster year doesn't mean a player has to prove it all.Yet to see it from Sancho at Premier League level, he's facing a different level of competition to what he's used to and cannot beat the fullbacks.

I never said they are competing for the title but they are in the right direction. I line their future more then United atm.They’re a few players short. Their depth is woeful. Look at that bench..
If Jesus keeps coming wide and taking up his position as he did for a lot of that match then pick any number you like.How many more goals and assists do you think Sancho will get over Saka this season? 5 more? 10 more?
He was the best player on the park first half apparently, Sky going HAM trying the big sell.Saliba was actually good, but for Jesus they must be showing the one run he made in about the 5th minute from every possible angle they have.
I disagree, I think Saka will get more goals and assists than he did last season.If Jesus keeps coming wide and taking up his position as he did for a lot of that match then pick any number you like.
I think Odegaard will do well with a forward line like that but you won’t see Jesus in the box enough as a 9 for Saka to rack up his stats.
Eze missed a glorious chance.Scoreline flatters them. They started really well but Palace were all over them that second half, and they’ve had a really disjointed pre season. A better side would’ve scored a few against Arsenal.
Sancho has scored 5 goals in 37 games for United. Its not that crazy of a take.it's a batshit crazy take
Palace's team was shite.Arsenal dominated the majority of the first half but were on the back foot the entire second half. Lack of quality in finishing cost Palace today they could have at least taken a point.
I mean it's not all about the productivity, but yeah Sancho will beat him there as well (provided a fair fitness competition). In general play i don't think it is close between them. Genuinely. Its like comparing Rashford to Neymar, Nani to Ronaldo, mahrez to Messi.. my honest opinion is Saka isn't a patch on Sancho, the Sancho that played for Dortmund and that we've seen this pre season. Saka isn't capable of doing what Sancho can on a pitchHow many more goals and assists do you think Sancho will get over Saka this season? 5 more? 10 more?
They won 2-0 where they dismally lost 3-0 last season, a venue where many teams will struggle. Very good result for Arsenal and even Liverpool or City would have taken that before the match.Deffo. The Arteta fetishists will be rubbing something with glee calling it a new dawn it looked like a last season performance with a little opening fixture luck.
I am really happy with 3 points. It is always good to win the first game of the season.Palace only lost 4 games at home last season, its a tough place to go as we seen last season. Will take any 3 points there.
Explain the relevance of that stat? Sancho's career didn't start last season in a shit United side did itSancho has scored 5 goals in 37 games for United. Its not that crazy of a take.
He has the potential to be a world beater but right now he isn't.
Yeah, that's an utterly ridiculous take and I'm not even going to bother arguing with itI mean it's not all about the productivity, but yeah Sancho will beat him there as well (provided a fair fitness competition). In general play i don't think it is close between them. Genuinely. Its like comparing Rashford to Neymar, Nani to Ronaldo, mahrez to Messi.. my honest opinion is Saka isn't a patch on Sancho, the Sancho that played for Dortmund and that we've seen this pre season. Saka isn't capable of doing what Sancho can on a pitch
What did they do with their pre-season? I know we played and beat them in Singapore.Absolutely bizarre that Palace let their pre season happen as it did.
And for all the fancy touches they were fawning over, he gave the ball away a fair bit and created feck all.Don’t see it with Jesus. Spends far too much time outside the box for a striker.
Does that still matter? Many players are fantastic in their teens but rubbish in the big game which ultimately matters.Once Saka has achieved anything close to what Sancho achieved, then we can talk (cough having the most league goals and assist before age 20 out of any player after mbappe (just 1 behind) over the past 30+ years).
Its like Nani to Ronaldo. Mahrez to Messi. They aren't in the same tier at all
Guy can pass a ball.Saliba looked good, but Andersen i thought had an even better game.
