Can't say I'm surprised. Totally exposed.

Lokonga caught on the ball this time. It has happened time and time again in our midfield and defence - Palace have been far sharper and snapping in to tackles - we've just given them the encouragement by dawdling on it far too much

Both goals from our mistakes

Just to set up the wall and everyone to finally be ready for that free kick took 90 seconds. This is time that just gets lost in games as it won't be added on

Dean again - that is the most obvious yellow you'll see for the pull back

This is our worst performance this season.

This result has been coming we have 2nd best since the half hour mark.

Soon 8 games played in the league and we've produced one single half of good attacking football. Not sure what excuses there are left now, Arteta has been here for almost two years and we don't really have any injures to speak of. Not expecting us to be world beaters or challenge for the leage, but the level of football we're producing just isn't anywhere near good enough. It's Crystal Palace at home and it's basically a 50/50 contest where a couple of mistakes from us is the deciding factor.

that injury took 2 minutes out of the game- lets see if the added time is anywhere near right

It’s grim watching that’s for sure.

I wouldn't even say tonight has been 50/50, Palace have bossed most of the game and their fans would say they deserve it. Controlled possession and have been a threat on the counter.

Arsenal have gifted two goals and can't muster any sort of sustained pressure and chance creation

2nd game in a row we are being outplayed by a middling team missing their best player.
We are shocking.
Started brightly and just seemed to ease off and sit back.
Seems we are very much a middling team now.
Top 4 my *%^@*** arse.
Play like this on Friday and villa will repeat what they did last season.
Sick of this Arteta shite

Arteta's brand of football is boring. Too conservative.

I think improvement will be slow if there is any, but this is glacial. If glaciers ever go backwards. I guess they’re receding with global warming. Arsenal are currently ice in a warming up world.

Tierney hits the bar - not going to be our night here

And Tierney thunders it onto the crossbar. We don't deserve an equaliser though.

Pathetic dive by Pépé.

And we wait for the last few minutes to show urgency. Typical Arsenal.

We seem to be turning into Newcastle (the pre Saudi version). Dull and useless.

We just struggle to create chances, the creative players in the side struggle to get the ball into dangerous scenarios enough. Not good enough it really isn’t.

just 4 minutes of added time

Martinelli should just send the ball in. Why pass it across?

We struggle to create chances, we struggle to press home any advantage we do get and we struggle to get back in to things when we face adversity

Totally undeserved. Good shift all round by Lacazette though.

lacazette! saved our blushes 2-2

And we absolutely have no clue how to beat the press. All our opponents have to do is run at us and we struggle.

We got lucky, really lucky

Well done Lacazette. we don't deserve it, but we'll take it.

deserved for lacazette. He has looked bright and motivated when he's come on

Not really what we deserved but I’ll gladly take that

Unacceptable. This should have been 3 points.

We look mid table at best.

Seeing Vieira down on his knees devastated at the end made me feel quite sorry for him. He's done a wonderful job so far with Palace

Lacazette is the sort of player we missed. If only Ode would exhibit similar drive.

12th place now, and at least six teams above us would kill to have our starting eleven.

Could Vieira be our next manager?

Could see it as soon as he came on, first touch won us a corner and he was whipping the crowd up. good sub cameos should lead to starts otherwise where is the motivation.

We are mid table

Agree

Both promising players but *%^@*** hell Ødegaard and Smith Rowe aren’t good enough to be the creative hub of this team yet. Saka goes off and our final ball is non existent it’s Pépé or bust. No combination play nothing. It’s all very average, some days they will do well but others it won’t work and I think both those scenarios will happen with equal frequency.

Not sure what the answer is.
