Sanchez!

Was lively at times but like the others, struggled with palace deep defending and physical approach.

However, what you can take away from today is that he will give it his all. Doesn't seem to tire and always hunting down player which will help defensively.

Who remembers Arshavin, very talented but tracking back and helping out defensively was non existent

It's going to be really interesting to see what happens when Theo is fully fit and how the two will be incorporated into the team

Anyone who has ever followed Alexis knows his execution in the final 3rd can be maddening. He's full of running and endeavour until he has to make that final pass or provide the finish and he often suffers a rush of blood to the head. He did frustrate for quite some time in Barca but finally hit the expected level last year. HOPEFULLY, it wouldn't take him nearly as long here to fully adjust.

I like his work ethic though.

The only positive is that he got 90mins in PL.

Yes he can be bit of a headless chicken when it comes to the final third.

He was very average today. Needs to release the ball a little earlier. I'm sure Wenger will talk to him about that.

I always noticed when Arshavin tracked back, which he did do, wasn't great at it, because he just didn't have the energy to sprint about for 90 minutes.

Arshavin was always losing possession..and with Denilson as our main DM and Almunia as our Number 1 keeper...All hell broke lose

Arshavin is one of my favourite players. High risk, high reward type of player.
