Not what i expected to see Chelsea gets draw against Crystal Palace, but a point from a team that beat City and Liverpool in the final is still considerably good. Especially, they come with some new players against Palace. They once again struggle against Palace's low block. I also rarely saw them made good build up from the back.

I think their mid performance in this game still tolerable consider they got back to the training session just a week ago. I'm not concerned yet about their performance. There still huge room to grow.

Chelsea performance against Crystal Palace shows that Chelsea still has a lot do to able to defeat strong opponents in Premier League, I was expecting a win from Chelsea after beating the best team in the world currently in the Club World Cup, Crystal Palace is not a small team but if Chelsea can’t defeat Crystal Palace in their home that means Chelsea can not defeat any big clubs in the league, Chelsea players are not turning up the way they did in the last final games against Real Betis and PSG or is it only final round that Chelsea players know how to play and win trophy?

Hard fought three Points for Arsenal today against Manchester United, they did not have much chances but they took the one that came and converted it into a goal. Manchester United fan should also be happy even though they did not win the team has improved significantly and I believe that the will bounce back in the next match.

My take on the new players is that Victor Gyökeres is physical and he will survive the English premier league, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo had a good game too but Sesko did not do much when he came on.

Manchester United played well against Arsenal and the better team in the match was Manchester United because Manchester United is the one attacking Arsenal in the match, Manchester United performance has changed and the performance I believe that the team is different from last season Manchester United, Arsenal defense is the best because they defend well and they can stand the pressure of Manchester United to win the game, I’m sure that Manchester United will do better than last season, Manchester United new players tried their best and Cunah is currently one of the best midfield in the Premier League with his performance against Arsenal.
