Even Gunners legend Merson came out to pour cold water on this. Although the Gunners have won 10 consecutive victories, he still thinks these are not convincing.

Paul Merson believes that winning streak is still not valuable enough.

"We are now at the top of the list, but we have already tried our best."

"Don't get me wrong, their winning streak is very good. But when they meet Tottenham and Liverpool at home, especially Liverpool, I will be surprised if they don't lose by three goals. They will tear Arsenal apart."

"I'm confused because in half the games in the 11-game winning streak, they could have been far behind in the first half, but then they changed. If Luo Wu performs like this every week, then he is the best in the world."

"But we have all noticed that these results are achieved just because of Luo Wu. Without Luo Wu, where would Arsenal be ranked? Arsenal's midfield and backfield defense have big problems."

"So I don't buy it, I think they are lucky. You can't play against Liverpool like this."

"I think it's very risky to play Crystal Palace now. There are too many injured players, which will make Arsenal even worse."

11 consecutive victories are not favored by Merson. I don't know if Merson is an Arsenal star. Maybe he said this just to stimulate the Arsenal players.

If Arsenal defeats Crystal Palace in this round, the Gunners will have won 12 consecutive victories in all competitions for the first time since October 2007, and will also have 8 consecutive wins in the Premier League for the first time since February to April 2015. For the hot-dog, this is

It's an excellent result.

Even in Wenger's era, I haven't enjoyed such happiness for a long time.

Doesn’t it seem like everyone is used to it now?

Even the media felt that Arsenal might capsize in the away game.

"Daily Mail" wrote: Although Arsenal looks full of momentum, Arsenal, who are short of major generals, may capsize in the London derby at Selhurst Park. They are missing many central players.

In the backcourt, their defensive end will expose more problems, and it is more likely to end in a draw. We all know that they have the alien Luo Wu, but they can do without the alien defender.

The "Manchester Evening News" also holds a similar view: Crystal Palace needs to bottom out and Arsenal is the best opponent. If they can win points in the derby, then they will regain confidence.

…

"That's ridiculous!"

"It's just unreasonable."

"I don't understand why the media always favor them when facing Liverpool and Manchester City, but why do we always say we are in danger when facing Arsenal? Farke!"

“Aren’t we also at the top of the list?”

Emery is disgusted by all this.

Juan Carlos on the side reminded him in a low voice, "Unai,"

"I think we made another big mistake."

"What's the mistake?" Hearing Carlos say this, he instantly felt a chill on his back. Someone must have been injured again!

"Monreal, he has accumulated yellow cards and is suspended," Juan Carlos said.

Sure enough, Emery's heart immediately pounded and he almost lost his balance. When someone is unlucky, his teeth ache when he drinks cold water. Only at this juncture did he know that Monreal was going to be suspended.

Then Arsenal has actually broken two arms, and both the left and right defenders are in despair! The defense is really like paper. It is no wonder that so many people are not optimistic about Arsenal.

This is indeed a huge mistake and a mistake!

Skull hurts.

So far, he doesn't know who to find to fill the left and right back positions. He doesn't know if Lichtsteiner can return to the squad next year. I sincerely hope that he can recover from the cold...

It really doesn't work.

Three central defenders?

An idea came to his mind.

Anyway, we can’t expect the team not to concede goals. In this case, it’s better to add midfielders and strengthen defense. A 352 or 3412 or 3421 formation is good. The opponent is not afraid of our defense, but they are afraid of our offense!

Gritting his teeth, he said:

"Juan, we have to rearrange the starting lineup. I can't let us not even have a substitute. We have to change to three central defenders."

…

The next day, Arsenal's starting lineup.

Goalkeeper: Leno.

Defenders: Papastathopoulos, Per Mertesacker, Holding.

Midfielder: Xhaka, Torreira, Elneny, Smith Rowe, Luo Wu, Aubameyang.

Forward: Lacazette.

An aggressive lineup.

When Sky Sports got this starting lineup, Ferdinand immediately exclaimed.

"Emery is crazy,"

"In this starting lineup, there are really only five people who can defend, including goalkeeper Leno."

"This means that he just wants the team to score more goals, rather than rely on defense to win."

"This is not good news for Crystal Palace."

"Although the offense and defense are unbalanced, I don't think Crystal Palace can withstand Arsenal's offense. Crystal Palace will lose four consecutive games."

The Crystal Palace coach was also confused when he saw his opponent's starting lineup. He originally wanted to steal the chicken from Arsenal's defense, but now he has to think carefully about how to withstand Arsenal's attack...

It can be said that almost all the offensive players in Arsenal have gone out! How is this fun? But now the arrow is on the string and it has to be launched!

Crystal Palace’s starting lineup is: Goalkeeper: Hennessey;

Defenders: Bisaka, Tomkins, Sakho, Van Aanholt;

Midfielder: MacArthur, Milivojevic, Kouyate;

Forwards: Townsend, Ayew, Zaha.

More than 30,000 fans crowded into the small Selhurst Park stadium and waved flags, while the inflated eagle soared above the blue ocean. The poor Arsenal fans were only allocated more than 500 tickets.

There is no way, the stadium is inherently small and cannot accommodate many people, so the visiting team will not be able to get many tickets.

Today's game is the first Premier League game broadcast by bv5. They had no broadcast rights before, so bv5 spent a lot of money to purchase the broadcast rights.

Participating in the commentary are He Wei and Zhang Lu, as well as guest commentator Fan Zhiyi.

Before the game started, Fan Zhiyi and Zhang Lu had been chatting about the Crystal Palace of their time.

"I remember at that time, I could challenge Owen, Heskey and Henry. We were not afraid of facing Premier League teams in the cup."

A good man does not mention his former bravery, but an old man always likes to recall the past.

"Hey, I still remember Irving praising you after the game." Zhang Lu chuckled, also echoing Fan Zhiyi.

"Because of this game, Liverpool later sent you an invitation, hoping that you could join them. As we all know, you later rejected the invitation."

This was Fan Zhiyi’s crowning moment. He grinned widely and said: “Yes, as long as I nodded, I could become a member of Liverpool, but at that time we were going to play in the World Cup qualifiers, and

There was a stipulation in Liverpool's contract that I was not allowed to return to my country to participate in games. I felt that this clause was too excessive, so I did not consider it at all and rejected the contract they proposed."

Speaking of this, Fan Zhiyi's eyes became a lot darker as usual, because every time he recalled it, he would feel distressed. He was once a figure who could become a central defender for Liverpool, although he did not make it...

"Hey, your efforts are rewarded. Otherwise, how could we go to the 2002 World Cup? There will be gains and losses."

He Wei sat in the middle and felt that these two people were just reminiscing about the past and were now broadcasting the Crystal Palace vs Arsenal game, so he quickly interjected:

"Old Fan, don't be too sad. Now there are younger generations who have done it. Luo Wu now represents the highest level of Chinese football, and his performance among the rich is also world-class. It can be regarded as making up for your regret. By the way, you are right about this

How do you watch the game?”

Fan Zhiyi was pulled back from his thoughts and his eyes fell on the big screen.

"I think there is still a chance for Crystal Palace to play at home in this game. The team can't lose anymore. It happened to encounter Arsenal, the weakest team in recent times. I mean Arsenal's defense. Both Arsenal full-backs

There is no one left. Crystal Palace forwards have a chance to score goals, especially Ayew. He is very impactful. Arsenal defenders may not be able to guard against him. Everyone knows that Arsenal’s midfielders have a bit of a problem.

, can’t be counted on.”

"On the other hand, Arsenal's offensive value can be said to be at full capacity. This offensive formation will scare any club. Of course, this is only in terms of paper strength, and it may not be able to achieve very good results.

I think the final score was probably 3:2, or 4:3, and Arsenal won."

At this time, a series of barrage messages popped up on the big screen.

"Take it down, General Fan. Although Crystal Palace is your old club, can Crystal Palace score so many goals? Absolutely impossible."

"Crystal Palace didn't even score a single goal at home, so why can they score so many goals against Arsenal?"

"It's going to be a massacre for sure."

"Luo Wu can solve the problem alone."

"As long as Luo Wu is here, this Arsenal can lack any player, as long as they can get 11 people to start!"

…

At this time, players from both sides had already lined up. Luo Wu was at the front wearing the armband. When the DJ read his name, crazy boos immediately erupted. As Arsenal's top player, boos are inevitable.

, but the Crystal Palace team must have forgotten that Sporting Lisbon fans treated Luo Wu in the same way in the last European war. As a result, Luo Wu massacred them after just half of the game. Do Crystal Palace fans also want to see this now?
