Hudson-Odoi came back after 5-6 months from his achilles but took a long time to get back up to speed.

Spinazzola was expected to come back in January after Euros but ended getting pushed back to the end of the season. And I think he's better off for it because he looks back to his normal self this pre-season.

The two Blackest clubs (Arsenal & Crystal Palace plus Crystal Palace is in South London which is even more convenient lol) in the prem (one with a Black manager in Patrick Viera) funny enough during that All or Nothing doc Thierry Henry mentioned how Arsenal was the first club to actually have a wave of Black players and the invincible and squads of the early 2000s reflect that (Lauren Kanu Viera Glichy Wiltord Henry Cole Campbell Toure Silva).

Gallagher was probably another white dude who could make it automatically to the starting 11 but he is back at his home club Chelsea lol

Good result. We started the game off strong but we need to convert the dominance into goals so we can kill off games early. The second half further highlighted that we need midfield reinforcements because Palace overran us for the majority of the time.

Credit to Ben White too. He was being targeted that whole second half and other than a couple shaky moments, he was able to handle Zaha pretty well. It’s early doors but Saliba looks like the real deal. He was steady and measured when going to ground.

Odegaard needs to be a bit more selfish, that's the one thing I wish he'd have in his bag. But if this is Arsenal on day 1, this is gonna be a scary team. Jesus looked good even if he didn't get a clear shot at goal. But the wings and the back line were something else. Saliba is looking to be the player he's been touted to be. Of course, we'll see if he can do that against the Liverpools & Citys of the world but can't ask for much more of a start.

Yeah, Odegaard needs to add goals to his game to really go to the next level. He got away with fluffing his chance today because it was Palace but against a better team, those chances don’t come as often.

If we can beat all the teams we’re supposed to be and maybe get draws at home against Liverpool and City, I see no reason why we can’t finish comfortably in the top 4
