Literally was disgusting. Sam will be mad af, your players should be ashamed of themselves. We're nowhere near as good as you made us look. Mind, what a goal by Giroud, amazing. Benteke, Ward, and Flamini were not putting in enough effort. Giroud wonder goal should never have happened, lazy give away, lazy attempt at stopping the cross. Sanchez aside, our wingers are not good. To be beaten against our wingers requires FB to completely s***, or wingers not to help. Both happened. 2-0 actually flattered you. Hopefully Big Sam can turn it around for you, but imo, that was absolutely shameful from some of your players.

Fair play to Giroud - absolute class.

You are a world class team however and we're a team that has just changed managers... Benteke was lazy, Ward was out of position (bad, not lazy I'd say) and yes, sloppy Palace passing led to the Giroud goal (although quite a goal it was!). We should have cleared your second. You could have had 5 more though... we should have scored from Benteke's header.

Giroud goal was class, I'm not arguing that, but we weren't some amazing team. Your GK should be proud today, kept you in the game, but Ward and the wingers were shocking today. Our wingplay is probably (Sanchez aside) not at all that great, in fact, most games, our wingers are crap.

I never witnessed lack of effort. I witnessed a team who looked tired, were second in mind and body,who lacked quality against much better players, and who couldn't string decent passes together.Also witnessed full-backs who simply didn't know what to do. Expected Arsenal to have much more of the ball but I expected us to do a lot better than we did.All of a bit of a stroll for Arsenal. Allardyce said he wanted 2 new players - I think he will need more than that ! Edited by Willo (01 Jan 2017 7.59pm)

we actually looked hung over from nye we was so so so unexciting to watch, my old man actually fell asleep during the game and thats unheard of big sam will be kicking some serious ass over the next couple weeks saying that i fear the damage could well have been already done by pardew pundits saying "we are too good to go down" but what do i know...

That second goal is all I have to say. Are you really telling me there was no lack of effort in defending that? That was horrendous, had they actually gone for the ball, no way was Iwobi winning an aerial battle with anyone in that back four.

Arsenal fans are so fickle,they spend most of the time criticising Giroud, now he's the best thing since sliced bread.
