Bruh this is not a preseason game, this is community shield, and with this trophy it shows that the season is already began in the English premier League, so looking at it as a preseason game is kinda totally wrong, let's just admit the fact that crystal palace was the better side yesterday and they won which was out of expectation like everyone gives the credit to Liverpool before the game but just like Chelsea crystal palace shock everyone and came out victorious, the fact is slot spent €500m+ to lost his first official game of the season, truth be told if they should continue like this hmm it's sure gonna be a tough season for them believe me.

I won't deny the fact that Crystal Palace performed well against Liverpool and forced Liverpool to a penalty shootout, which they were lucky enough to win and lift the Community Shield on Sunday. That shouldn't make you believe Liverpool is likely to have a tough season when the new Premier League season starts because the Community Shield is totally different from the Premier League, and Liverpool will be more serious in the Premier League, and I believe they will get good results that will help them challenge for the Premier League title next season.

You now why it's such a monumental thing for Palace to win these? Because it is not an easy thing to win ANY cup there, doesn't matter if you think it's a smaller one, it still doesn't matter. Because look at Arsenal, it has been 5-6 seasons with Arteta and all that rebuilding phase, and for three years now they have been at second place, and all those years, they didn't win a single cup, they weren't successful in anything. Not EFL, not FA, not Community, not anything in UEFA.

So Palace has more cups than Arsenal in the last 5+ years or so. These type of things matters, while it is not a long term thing and maybe we would be right to say that Arsenal is better team than Palace. But it is important to note that Palace won while being a worse team, what more can you do?
