Crystal Palace is not that weak team at all, but Arsenal's excellent performance today makes Crystal Palace feel helpless against Arsenal. Arsenal secured full points with the win against Crystal Palace which left them third in the points table with 43 points despite second placed Manchester City having 43 points. A win like this against Crystal Palace will undoubtedly give Arsenal more confidence for the upcoming matches.
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
It was a sad day for Crystal Palace has they were given a flawless victory by the host. I couldn't believe it that Crystal Palace couldn't even find the back of the net throughout the match. I think they need to work on their team performance, to make sure that this defeat does not have negative impact on them in their next match.
Arsenal too the advantage of the poor performance of Crystal Palace defense to score five goals, in order for them to have three points to the points as they were lacking behind the title race. Arsenal is on the the third position on the table. However, they might still go below this position because some clubs that are in the 4th and 5th position has an outstanding match to play. A superb victory for the Gunners today.
I thought that crystal palace will give a good fight in the match as the did in meeting with mancity despite that city won them, it was not an easy one for the champions, sure Arsenal deserve that one because the took over the match and maintained till the end, the performance of Arsenal encouraged me, though the gunners has not been consistent lately, but this winning is a good one for them to move a little forward, talking about Arsenal being in 3rd position, they deserve it, arsenal at a point was performing extremely well but all of a sudden the started losing, yea I know that it happens but check man it's anytime they are such position, they don't give up, instead they keep scoring more goals to be at the top, as for now u don't see arsenal the major contender of the league again no matter their performance though that is my personal view.
