HOLY FUCK IT'S HAPPENING
Party looks uncomfortable in that right corner.
For forks sake put Zinchenko on
Lol really? Is that how they're going to play it?
Looooooooooool you're serious now?
Prepare for prime Hodgsonball from Palace
I don't know why Arteta doesn't make some changes at the hour mark. Trossard for Nketiah, even Gabriel for Tommy.
You get some fresh legs up top, and a solid defense.
Tangent: Holy shit we're lucky.
Because you don't make changes when things are looking like the 2nd goal is around the corner and no one is struggling
He's a Pep disciple
On a non-sarcastic note, I don't like how tired we look. Should be safe to assume we'll make at least two more fresh legs subs
We haven't looked a sharp as how we started last season, still fatigued
I absolutely hope that NBC does not put Andros Townsend on more of the games, irritating af
Saying the palace non-penalty was the only thing the refs got wrong made me crack up laughing
So many cards this match it's like Christmas
HOLD THE BALL
All 11 of our players in defense.
Oh, Oleks... you know you can't do that
Odegaard and Eddie way too one-footed
Nelli should have buried it😕😣
Maybe Zina for Kai? Tomiyasu status at LB.
If an opposing player held back a counter attack like that, we'd be demanding a yellow card. It's unfortunate, but he was in trouble when he got the first card for time wasting, he couldn't take that chance.
I wonder if this means that Gabriel will actually start the next match. I haven't been happy with this weird makeshift back 4 anyhow.
Exactly, it was a counter and he was baited by the turn. It isn't enough for a yellow imo but it is still a foul. Whether or not it is a yellow is up to the refs discretion. Still you shouldn't be baited with a swivel like that at this level.
You have to be aware you're on a yellow card too. Even if you get baited, you have to rely on your other defenders. He was in Palace's half at the time, so there was time to get back.
Correct, he didn't have any situational awareness and Ayew took the contact and made it appear worse than it is

I'm glad to see this cynicism with fast starts from free kicks, but... perhaps.... maybe.... we could do something with it?

At least we're getting that call for us. Eze with we great skills.
Bloody Christ Eddie......
Pretty sure all of Palace's in-box touches came from Eze dancing around Rice
Odegaard with our first shot on target. Our captain doing it himself if he has too
What a shot that was too
Eddie took on 2 defenders well. Did it all right except the finish.
Jorgi coming on...
Saka doing just enough to keep him off balance but not fouling.
