He impressed and infuriated equally today,
Was busy and constantly involved, however he did showcase an urgent need to be more clinical,
Should have scored and a couple of times he gave the ball away needlessly,
Otherwise a solid 7/10 today
Made a massive difference today.

Also, I quite like that new signings have to earn their places even if it can be frustrating in the first couple of months. I think last year Richarlison was the only one who slotted in straight away and no new signings started against Palace this year either.
By the same token, and despite his goal today, Sigurdsson should have to earn his shirt back too. Same for Coleman, Schneiderlin, Delph, DCL etc.

Carrick was quality and could run a midfield, rice is the definition of overhyped, English crap

Would rather lose it trying to unlock things in advanced positions than knock it sideways and back without creating anything. Then end up with 60% plus possession but conceding a set piece and not scoring.
Just over 50% possession today but quick football going forward which meant sometimes we lost it but created a lot. Could have scored five or more with better finishing and a bit of luck (Walcotts effort).

Carrick was genuine quality.
If Rice achieves even half of what Carrick did he'll have had a great career.
If you think carrick is forgettable you need to give up football
Iwobi was very good today ... always showed for the call, confidence in possession, aware of those around him and positive with great movement, it helped that walcott had great movement at times , sidebe got up the pitch likewise digne... and Bernard looked really on the same level as him. Still question mark over Richarlson as where is he most effective ?
This, can’t complain about slow, boring possession based football and then also complain when someone loses the ball playing quick thinking , one and two touch football trying to open up defences . It has to be acceptable that losing the ball will happen more often if we ask players to play that way and I for one cannot stand possession based footy.
