All correct But Roy is keeping us in top off of premier league table with a second string team and yes it can be boring but it’s about as good as we are ever going to get unless money is pumped in bigtime. Which we do not have The alternative is we don’t extend his contract end of season, bring in someone else, the style may be more attractive, but zaha is going and we’ll never get higher in table. A club our size just can’t unless we unearth Jamie Vardy part 2 and keep him As good as wilf can be, he’s a winger. Not a striker. We need a worldly striker Everyone needs a worldly striker lol and it didn't help Leicester much today anyway, I didn't find today boring in the slightest, the trouble is in football if nobody scores no matter how entertaining the game is it is classified as boring and most fans think exactly this every time.

I don't think McArthur's been out of form in his entire palace career. Absolute warrior. First name on the teamsheet for me. agree about his being a great club warrior - but he had poor games at Norwich and Southampton and tbh right now I think we need an upgrade on him - and I genuinely wish him all the best and recognise his service.

Prevented an easy Arsenal goal today when he shielded the ball back to Guaita, he is always in the thick of it, I'd give him at least two more seasons, against Norwich and Southampton he had very poor support at times.

Arteta looks like he’s got his work cut out with that flakey group of players. They looked weak and lacking in bravery defending their own penalty area and it’s disappointing we didn’t set out to exploit that more. Also all the sh1thousery and play acting.

A bit more pace and mobility and he would be lethal. I would go as far as saying he is our best player running with the ball, making himself space, passing, shielding the ball and knowing who's around him, he is quite outstanding in my opinion.

I wonder how many of their fouls were made preventing us from breaking on them ..the majority I reckon, these top teams are brilliant with it and when you consider how we could capitalise on it it makes you realise how many goals we are being prevented from orchestrating, red cards need to be brandished I think to stamp it out and although we also do it it I feel needs to be done to make our game much much more entertaining, it is killing it and it is the reason people say we are boring, when we clearly are not in the slightest.

Can someone explain to me why Luis wasn’t booked for running 50 yds to move the ball back, in the final minutes. Looked like ref was happy to allow him to ref the game

Really funny in first half when £75 million Pepe didn’t fancy going for header when he saw McCarthy running towards him. Thought Arsenal’s play acting, going down easily was a disgrace. How can Kolasinic fight armed robbers but goes down when Kouyate breathed on him?

Jairo rapidly turning into a top performer. Is it just me, but I cannot remember the last time Wilf had a decent game against a top 6 side, obviously excusing the fact that Arsenal were once a top 6 side, but now look so far from it, it is hard to believe. Top tip from me - the Gooners will turn on Arteta before the end of the season. He most certainly is not the answer - 7 or 8 new players might stand them in better stead. Arsenal away last year he was amazing. Chelsea away when ward and Benteke scored.. Leicester away last year... He is a little injured at moment too.

On BBC HYS Gunners fans incredible, the two worst comments being "Meyer dived never a red and our goal was offside".
