Everything seems to be going our way this season. Our mini branch at Sunderland just whip the Bridge boys. A very brilliant goal by Talbi

dominique:
Andrea Berta had told the Kroenkes before joining that he will only join the team if they were willing to spend . He could have spent almost half a million euros on a team that would drag us back but every signing he made was a hit back to back. He deserves his flowers

This is an assumption as such information cannot be made public.

But it's the same reason I said Josh is the man for us this season. Without his investments especially the willingness we cannot have the kind of depth we have now.

I criticised him last season, so I have to praise him now

Who remember when we used to suffer severely against low block teams, well that's sloth new excuses
Low block was arteta kryptonite and he never for one day moan about it

It's public knowledge that Berta does not sign with clubs not willing to spend on quality players. He was the sporting director in Athletico Madrid when they won their league so his impact on a team is very valuable. The Kroenkes were awesome for releasing money but money does not always buy quality, Liverpool as case study. The Kroenkes could have coughed out €500m and we could have been stuck with misfits dragging us down the table if we didn't have a genius sporting director that is Andrea Berta

Spy360 is always forgetful
During the kroenke out protest from the fans, Josh stepped in and promised more involvement which includes releasing funds and attending matches.
They released funds for edu but he couldn't do much with it which was why arteta has more say in TW unlike now that Berta give arteta option to pick or look at the squad then decide which is the case of seskô

Brentford eh...

VVD flying with elbow, if this was an arsenal player
It's red and penalty

If Edu was still our SD, I doubt if we would have gotten the quality of players we got this past TW even if Josh Kroenke had coughed out £1bn. Give Berta his flowers jare

We are unchanged from last time out
Gabu starts

Palace are well drilled no openings at all

We are losing possession in dangerous areas
Zubi and Eze the culprits

30 minutes no attempts yet
O ga o

This is the game one needs the sean dyche approach. The concern is it is 50-50 and not all the long balls will Gyokores get to shoot. Plus it gives them the possession.


Patience anyway. Glasner too is patient and he's seen attempts already. I doubt these guys want Saka to breef today. Time to use this sole fact to ease out something tricky to our advantage. Saka might not breef all 90.

Eze needs some time on bench

Stratch that he scores

The king!!!!!!!!!!!

Munoz playing the Calafiori role
Glasner

Na this kine game Odegaard dey break down. Palace also fears the guy cos of what he did several times to them. Trossard and Gyokores switch so that beast can sneak in from behind pls. Palace LW is non existent dunno if it's deliberate.


Goallllll.

They don open up sha. 0 shot on target record going higher.

FYI, Edu scouted both Zubimendi and Gyokeres.

Let's start from there.

This is not belittling what Bertha did. He did a fantastic job. But it's my opinion that Josh is the man.

That's not true
Arteta scouted both with seskô
Edu scouted watkins, even vlahovic was arteta
But any Brazilian is certainly edu

I love when we swallow our words whole

He was shit bar the goal

Saliba out, hope say no be injury.........

Saliba pulled out at half time. Replaced by Mosquera

Do you mind any thing else?

Palace play in a way that tries to stretch our defense. They don't stay compact

If na injury scare e go be Gabu wey suppose go off. I think he slept off thrice with the back passes to Raya when Mateta was lurking. 3ice is unacceptable. I was worried at some point.

Zubimendi is too good. Makes everything easy for everyone

I sincerely hope it's not injury

Nketiah comes in for Crystal Palace against his old club

Saka is off
That's strange

Saka off

Martinelli on

Martinelli may act as a decoy CF while positioned on the wings.

Gabu dan chop bar himself
That must be painful
