[Fran Solo]

Tierney looks tired already.

Saliba MOTM

[alexafc12]

Poor performance from MO today

[dc16]

Lovely win.

Great start.

[ag6789]

Tough outing as expected. Happy to pass a difficult test.

[Power n Glory]

3 points in the bag. Tougher than I expected. A really good 20 minutes and just lost our way after scoring. But a good start at least.

[alexafc12]

Perfect start.

Lots of work to do

[Salibatelli]

Good win.

If this shows anything, it’s that pre-season is meaningless and isn’t representative of what happens in the season, we looked very laboured today other than in the first 25 minutes.

[Jase89]

Odegaard is chasing shadows

He seemed to just run aimlessly with a few good passes.

[Ach]

Great first half hour

Nothing else after

But rather this than last season

[Power n Glory]

Good win.

If we had a poor preseason, I think it's a game we could have lost.

[DiamondGooner]

We're making it tough with our shtty formation, a 343 would allowed us to be more comfortable.

Takeaways......

Saliba is fkin brilliant, May even be better than Gabriel.

Jesus is great but he's finding out how difficult it is to be a CF in out shite formation.

Zinch looked decent.

Good win.

[Fran Solo]

Midfield has been subpar.

Maybe it's a good thing. Maybe Arteta will try harder to buy a midfielder after this. And we still got all the three points.

[Goonerred]

3 points is 3 points, early days, we can work on it.

[Salibatelli]

Maybe but I think Palace lacked quality up front, they missed their 2 easy chances as well, they needed a decent striker.

To be fair though last season we were quite good at shutting up shop and holding a lead.
