Crystal Palace feels helpless in their today match against Arsenal because most of their key players are playing in the AFCON tournament. I already know that it will be a loss match for Crystal Palace because of that.
Crystal Palace showed no pressure on the Arsenal team, so for them to lose and receive up to 5 goals in their goalpost was expected because they showed a poor performance. It was only Eze who performed better, he can't be the only one to score against Arsenal without having other of his team players work in hands with him to score.
Crystal Palace on and off in their matches is what their coach needs to work on to avoid being sacked the second time. Crystal Palace fans are complaining bitterly because of the team's performance
Crystal palace do not have much first team players on any the on going AFCON and ASIA international competitions, the only player on international duty is Jordan Ayew who is representing Ghana at the Afcons. The other sideline first eleven player is Michael Olise who is having a thigh injury. The other players were available just that Crystal palace has always been very poor against arsenal, they have registered just one win out of the 10 premier league games that they have the fellow London club.
Today Arsenal really needed to make a statement win to cover for there losses, they have lost five games out of the last six in the league which is very disappointing and puts them into a top 4 battle something I never expected them to be drag into this season. Seriously the win will boost Arsenal confidence in the fight back against Liverpool and Manchester city who they are level on points with. Many people have already ruled them out but I still want to give them necessary of doubt.
