It's good to see the Arsenal go there and show they can attack, they can defend, they can fight the physical battles and they can last 90 minutes. Saliba was so perfect he got MOTM on debut. White was surprisingly mistake-prone, probably because it's Saha he's dealing with. Odegaard seemed lost at times and his first touch still wasn't there. Arteta looked a little lackluster choosing routine subs instead of trying anything new. All in all best season opening in years dued to great signings. Very good improvement on set play.
It looks like their pre-season matches are quite promising and have an effect on the course of the League they will face. 3 important points can be achieved even though it is not easy because Crystal Palace put up a fight, but they are not strong enough to break through the defense.
Arsenal are expected to do well in the League this season, let's see what they do next.
Arsenal pre-season went quite promising but if you look at Arsenal match last night, I think there are still many improvements that Arteta needs to make for the next match, their midfield doesn't seem as strong as yesterday pre-season and the very easy for Crystal Palace breaks through Arsenal defense proves that the bottom line and midfield are not connected well, fortunately arsenal has a Saliba who has managed to steal the ball several times and cut off attacks from Zaha, besides that there is still no good coordination between jesus and saka often causes wrong passes so that it is wasted when in front of crystal palace goal.
