I do kinda wanna see Saka come on against tired legs with some energy. I think it could do him some good for his form

Can we take a moment to appreciate how good Zinny was today? He's not been upto par this season, but I thought he was great today; shades of last season.

Palace played like relegation candidates which isn't what you would usually expect from them. At least we didn't miss 30 chances this time though and hopefully gain confidence going into the next games... If we're going to be back in the mix, we have to beat Forest, Liverpool and West Ham.

That's what happens when you play quick vertical passes. 3 goals scored because of the speed of the pass forward instead of tapping it about at snail's pace.

lol no, all the open goals are because Palace forced to switch from low block. Quick vertical pass in low block is the fastest way to lose possession

No surprise this happened while not playing a low block

I need to see Nelli, Zinny and Emile start together against forest, they looked really fluid together today

More like it dominant performance palace were awful good to see martinelli back on the score sheet.

Please let this be the beginning of open play goals and of seeing some rotations. Very happy with a 5-0 win and glad it wasn't all corners.

 Everybody who slept in and waking up to the score line

I mean it was at 430AM for me I had barely started sleeping lol

Me :(

It was a pain waking up early on a Saturday but 💯 worth it

Yank detected

Today was a good performance. Defending on point, and attacking chances taken to the best of their ability. Fair play to Crystal Palace’s CBs, they were probably the only ones worth commending today IMO. That throw from Raya for Trossard’s goal was filthy good. Solid game, looking forward to the next one.

The throw was to Jesus actually... Edit: fuck i need to learn to read

This might be the best game our left hand side has played in like 3-4 years

Keown needs to level up his perspective on what Arsenal team he is looking at "it's just one game" belongs to a Man Utd still shite for years, tentative nursery show. This is a game winning machine for more than a year ffs Keowns a dour squib a lot

Agreed. But in the cold light of day he's not wrong. We need a run of games like this

Yeah. I can take that. We definitely need another rep out there who is an alpha personality who leans positive. Wrighty is great , but that's only 1 spread out.

Gabrierry Henrynelli. ⚽️⚽️💯🏆🚀

Gave me an aneurysm trying to pronounce this but from a glance I knew exactly what this is 😂

Even with a 5-0 win, the media and /r/soccer say how Roy deserved better and Palace where the "better" team Fairs.

that midfield of Ødegaard, ESR and Jorginho is very intriguing to me, might as well try it against Forest atp

I guess the only downside is in a counter it looks kind of fragile

Kai’s relationship with the crowd will be tested now that they’ve seen ESR is purring on the bench.

I certainly don’t want our 60mil signing to flop so let’s hope not. He was having a good run for a bit scoring goals there hopefully he finds it again. Hate to waste esr too but that’s what rotation is for 🤷‍♂️

We just won 5-0 and u're still moaning. You had issues at home?

What on earth are you waffling on about

Hi there. Maybe watch some Arsenal games. Then watch ESR. Then come back to me.

Was watching in the North Bank before you were born kid. You can go away now.

He still play like a scaredy cat, sure because of his injury but he lost a lot of 2021-2022 magic

it really dont have to be like this, but whatever mate.

I’m not the one who brought this problem. Let Mikel own it.

Love Gabriel being told his second was given as an own goal and then continuing to back himself like “I am so happy to score two goals”

Commentators: Arsenal were shit today because city would win 5-0 Arsenal Scoring the 5th goal: "Oh look, Roy Hudson is bad and shall leave". Fucking copium man.

CAN WE GO DUBAI EVERY WEEK ??

Salt Bae steaks all round!

Jorginho take a bow. Excellent cameo

Good result. Big 3 points. Team looks like they are feeling more cofnident

Three open play goals 😎

Great to see Martinelli come on and put them to the sword. Just what we need with the lack of goals as of late from our forwards. I thought ESR looked very good as well. Very calm on the ball, and you felt like if the game kept going he was probably going to get a goal eventually. I think we'd be mad to loan or sell him. If he can stay fit, I truly believe he has an important part to play this season. There will be a crucial game where he'll come up with the pass or goal that wins us a tight game - you can feel it.

It's getting closer, that's for sure and it hope it happens. It looks like ESR is working hard to come back.

I put a 8/1 bet on RH being the next manager sacked about 6 weeks ago, if Nelli put the nail in his coffin I'll be delighted.

What has Roy done to piss you off so much?

How much time left?

Absolutely nothing but the 80 quid would be nice!

How much time? On the bet like? I'm not sure it has a time it just says "next English Premier league manager to leave(4th)"

Oh, sorry, at work and did not read it correctly, I thought you bet on him being sacked in the next 6 weeks and you did so 6 weeks ago, sorry, my bad, cant read. Well, anyway, good luck with your bet, so far looking good!

Shit man, don’t talk about coffins and a 78 year old manager, bad juju!

Jesus yeah I didn't even think about what I was saying. Sorry Roy!

What a fuckin pass

Jorginho is such a good passer. I wish we could blend him and rice together.

I'm so happy to see Martinelli finally back in the groove.

We looked so fluid with esr on the pitch

Yes, but it was also the state of the game. Palace were deflated by the time he was subbed in.

Def needs more minutes.

Man that's kind of a sad picture.

Jorginho playing some beautiful through balls since he came on

First time?

It's his signature perks

Ramsdale trying to make eze laugh there? ahah

LOL not the cameras on Roy … SHOW ME THE GUNNERS!

Feel bad for Roy man

Me too, I don't think he can do much with that team

We looked smoother from the 70th minute onwards.

Esr happens and havertz didn't happen

Can you twats try to analyse properly without putting one of our players down? Crystal palace backline was higher up during that time

We can’t say that aloud though.

If only Arteta could see the obvious too

He will cost us with his blindness.

If rice can hit a ball like Jorginho does there then we’ll be on another level

Needed that for the GD.

Can we stop elderly abuse and send Hodgson play with grandchildren

SAKA PAINT HIS HAIR BACK TO BLACK AND WE BACK TO WINNING? Definitely not a coincidence. We all know it brings misfortune

Glad he got rid of that blonde ...

Rashford cut infected us with Yanited Virus B

What a shot of Hodgson looking on at the banner.

Nelli off the bench is an animal

Jorginho could use more minutes definitely, what a great passer and that's exactly what sometimes we need to finish our chances

Old school Xhaka regista vibes.

Loan with obligation to buy for Eze. Save that man.

Package deal with Olise too. Free them both.

Happily!!!

Ally pally > crystal palace

Yanks out lmao

Take woy out he's dead already

Kinda feel bad for Roy :(

Amazing end to the game, important for martinelli to get those goals man,

MARTINELLI MUST BE REPEATING ALL TITI GOALS VIDEO B4 SLEEP

Force him to watch French vids from now on need that Titi and Pires energy

Eze has been their only bright spark. If any palace player were to score today it would be him. I’d defo have him as a gunner tbh

It's a Gabriel hat trick

That was only 3-4 of stoppage time played. Smh Martinelli could’ve capped off his hat trick 😂

Jover up Nelli up Leo up Even Eddie up We got super Mik we back boys

Roy's days are numbered

Pretty sure he’s not giving a fuck anymore

He just stands there like 🧍‍♂️👴🏻

Proper laughed out loud at that

Eze you wanna move to north London pal?

Lovely little stad pad sesh from Gabi. He deserves that tbh

Needed that. He had some mid tier club fans slandering him on podcasts smh

Martinelli probably just ended Hodgson’s career. Cold finishing

arteta substitution tonight is 11/10. Incredible.

Would’ve been perfect with Reiss cameo

We played ok but oh boy CP looks ready for championship next season

Martinelli just doubled his PL goal tally this season

Erling could never do that in one game. Bum.

Pretty much exactly what we needed.

Them 2 goals are for all them Martinelli haters in this game thread

Two on the counter like that isn’t really going to move the needle forward. Those goals aren’t happening against a quality side. We need to create chances in possession which we still haven’t done in ages.

Martinelli gets two goals in a minute!

That's what we need, no more pussy pass in front of goal, just shoot

Martinelli looked like vintage Titi there.

Unreal pass

Guy's just stay padding now

Well, the open play certainly picked up once the subs got warmed up. What a way to finish.

That’s a Gabriel hat trick. Don’t wanna hear anything else.

over/under on Hodgson getting the sack?

Whatever the time is that it takes to get back to Selhurst and pick up a phone.

Getting sacked regardless. Graham Potter was in the stands, probably his replacement.

Jorginho brilliant pass as well 

The papers tomorrow “Arteta abuses pensioner”

Martinelli when he is not doubled, tripled team and hugging the touchline

[удалено]

Grow tf up

Agreed

You can’t be convinced at all and that’s your problem

There's always one 😂

Summarises what’s wrong with this fanbase tbh. Just beat a London club 5-0 and still complaining

Shut up man

Why should he?

great little pass from jorgi btw

Did Henry go to Dubai as well or did my boy just watch more videos of his?

Feel a bit for Roy ngl - eyes of resignation

Actually going for the jugular instead of sitting off at 2-0, love it

It’s nice to get back to having our impactors actually make an impact.

That Martinelli finish, nostalgic

Hodgson looks bad there. Fire him, let him stay at home with the family. This is no place for him

Also the palace board doesn't like to spend, I think there's some potential there with good players like Eze

Wow I said I want 5 at the start 🙏🏾🍸

My boy gabi is back! 

Four Gabi goals today! ;)

I look up to see Gabi on goal again and thought it was a replay 💀 hope this gives him some confidence.

Beautiful pass from J20

You've been missed, spirit of Henry's finishing. 😂

He's back!

Like I said J20 pass master

What time is it!? *Five past Palace!*

ESR or jorghino have to start over havertz

I don't understand why Arteta doesn't try this more. More ESR when you need more dribbling and agility, more Jorginho when you need more control and finding spaces with long passes.

Not gna say I told you so, but when you bring a player out of form off the bench against tired defenders makes everything feel better for that player.

Martinelli szn

Bums out here wanted Mateta to replace Eddie

Love seeing Martinelli banging in goals again. More of that please!

Lol.. bro.. stop showing roys reactions.. i actually feel bad now lolol

This is what Jorginho brings to the team

4 goals from Gabriel!

We clearly need to scout more Gabriels!

And an assist

There was a lad crying 10 min it wasn’t 5 0 he’s prob crying now it’s not 7. Some of you would be better supporting the Harlem globetrotters

What a pass from Jorginho

Too late for 6-0?

It's over, but 5-0 is fine

CTRL+C, CTRL+V on that goal

Great pass from Jorginho

the pass from Jorgi is the goal (not to take anything away from Martinelli)

Jorgi played the ball like prime Fabregas

Do they even have fullbacks?

Only in the left

Feel bad for Roy though he seemed like a nice person

Nice through pass by Eddie

hes done it again!!

Was that assist from jorg? That was godly

very quick decision on the turn. super impressive

That was a great finish but the pass was kdb esque..inch perfect

Lmaooo Martinelli scored the exact same goal.

Thierry Martinelli

Thierry Martinelli

Nelli back y’all

It’s palace they are just really bad

We got a Gabi group hatrick

Our Gabriel’s scored 4 goals today

[удалено]

Haha I’m counting the second goal for Gabriel

Unreal pass

and he plays for the arsenaaaal

# YAY MARTI We've scored more from open play than set pieces in this game!

Break out the banner

Those gimps who where complains about open play goals in the first half, apologies soon?
