Aaron Ramsdale - 6 - Some good saves again. But should have done better for Edouard's goal.

Takehiro Tomiyasu - 4 - Thumped the ball clear without ever really considering where it would land. Pretty poor last couple of games

Ben White - 5 - Poor again. Even his passing tonight. He's not the C/Back we need.

Gabriel - 5 - Just as bad as White really. Both where uncomfortable against there frontmen.

Kieran Tierney - 4 - Not great on his 50th Premier League outing. Surprisingly ineffective in attack and didn't always deal well with Ayew's threat. Some think this guy is the dogs bolloc.ks. He's just a load of bolloc.ks.

Thomas Partey - 3 - Caught in possession for the equaliser. To slow for this league.

Nicolas Pepe - 3 - Had the shot that the goal came from. other than that shite again. He's had so many chances but it's clear he isn't worth a starting place.

Martin Odegaard - 3 - Bossed in midfield. He isn't physical enough. Another Madrid shite player.

Emile Smith Rowe - 5 - Worked hard. But guilty of not laying ball off.

Bukayo Saka - 4 - Looked jaded. McArthur should have seen red for foul on him.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - 7/10 - Took his goal well but it was his work ethic which impressed most.

Subs.
Albert Sambi Lokonga - 3 - Caught in possession for Palace's second. He's not ready for this league.

Alexandre Lacazette - 7 - Brought real energy off the bench and deservedly bagged a goal of his own. The hero of the day.

Gabriel Martinelli - 5 - Did well in his ten minutes. Looked as dangerous as any Arsenal winger.

Apart from Gabriel and Tomi occasionally, no one can win a header.

On another note I saw a comment on Twitter saying Ramsdale was more creative than Odegaard. That just sums up Odegaard performance.

So many 50-50 situations lost.
Tied passing. Poor first touches and just booting it away is not the Arsenal way.
Believe or not I think we deserved to win, when ya take Tierneys effort into context.
Poor leadership for letting it turn from being in control to being out of control.
Auba’s a great striker, but like TH14, he has next to no leadership quality.

As the ratings
Auba, Laca, - 6
Ramsdale, White, Gabriel, Thomas, ESR, Saka - 5
Tomi, Tierney, Martinelli, Pepe - 4
Odegaard, Lokonga -3
Arteta-2
Deane -1 for the cheating @#$%& turning up.

Since the end of WW1, 1919, when the FA restarted its 4 tier football league, with Arsenal fc in the 1st div, there’s only ever been one club to have never been relegated from Div 1/ EPL.

Arsenal fc

Let’s keep making history

Pepe is so infuriating we need to stop persevering with him. Loose sloppy touches and constantly losing it. Every time. I thought Lille's Pepe was the answer on our right hand side. Can't believe how wrong I was.

Odegaard absolutely anonymous as well. Suicide sticking Partey in midfield alone with him and ESR. Bar a bright opening 15 we were outplayed.

Martinelli and in particular Lacazette were comfortably better than anyone else when they came on. Poor, poor showing.

Okay, one excusable poor performance on a high wind, raining and slippery pitch.

Okay, excusable, after internationals with more than half the team off-form.

3rd game against Villa on Friday?
Odegaard runs out of excuse not to deliver.

Ask yourself guys.
Why it worked against Tony Totts and not against Brighton and Palace?

Let's withhold judgement till after Friday Villa game.
No more "ifs" and "buts" after Friday game with them failing to create goal-scoring chances and out-passed Villa.

0-0 is most likely, but I am hoping for "One Nil to Arsenal" repeat.
