Yesterday’s match was interesting as both teams were trying hard to outdo each other on the pitch. I followed the game until the 76th minute and I must say that Arsenal look better this season. Mikel Arteta has stepped up his game this season with new strategies to pursue the league and new additions who are making impact already. The boys should good composure last night especially after getting a red card, they didn’t panic or lose focus rather they stayed together and defended their one goal lead until full time.

Arsenal is lack of dept on its striker. The club needs someone who could contribute hugely like giroud which has also a good finishing. Nketiah was not good nor bad. This guy was just an average striker. he had been getting some golden chances but nketiah is always lack of proper finishing. It's now the time for arsenal to searching a new striker. It's so strange to see how arsenal can't even bring back balogun to the club. he may able to perform even better than nketiah.
Im also aware about how ramsdale is trying even harder caused by he has a competitor to take the main spot as a goalkeeper for the club. Arsenal is still need to find a new striker.
Nketiah can't have a good finishing like gabriel. This boy needs to get more time to play as a central striker.

Nketiah has indeed missed a golden opportunity in this match. But to be honest it's a pretty difficult angle to make the right target accuracy. So I think it's natural that Nketiah can't make good use of it. But unfortunately it's not the only opportunity that he wasted. I agree that Arsenal need players who can put a good finishing touch on the cutting edge of their attack. But overall I still appreciate Arsenal in that match. Because they were able to maintain a 1-0 advantage with only 10 players on the field from the 68th minute. I do expect Arsenal to be more productive in scoring goals. But because they only played with 10 players after Tomiyasu got a red card. So being able to maintain a 1 goal advantage is good enough.

Lack of a clinical finish could cost Arsenal to lose a crucial match against a formidable team, yesterday Nketiah could have scored all the scoring chances that came his way against Crystal Palace unfortunately squandered those chances later on Arsenal played with 10 men after Tomiyasu was redcarded which gave advantage to Crystal Palace who dominated and mounted pressure had they converted their own chances they could have drawn that match or even win, the bottom line is that Arteta should try Balogun instead of Nketiah in their subsequent matches, let him some chances so as to take a final decision to sign a striker before the transfer window closes.
