Fair play to Palace they made it hard.

I hate palace and i wish we`d battered them Still , 1-0 will do

[Glenn R]

Not as I predicted (3 or 4 to us) but a good start. And with Ars*nal losing it has been a good all round weekend. Nest Europa and then Swansea. 

[RiffHard]

Palace really made it hard, but I hope we'll score more in our future matches when the new team will have gelled. Rose was surprisingly effective, Chadli - on the contrary - not really. And thank God we have Lloris, he really saved our bacon today.

[Paul Finch]

         A win is a win, hate to be negative, but we are still lacking a really effective playmaker, someone who can make things happen, open up opposition defences and deliver a really telling final ball, maybe Paulinho or Chadli will become that player.
          I thought overall we deserved the win, it could well have been 3 or 4 nil, Lloris as usual was great and made two saves very late to preserve the win. Walker, I just wish that when he goes forward he would deliver the early ball instead of getting to the by-line and then passing the ball backwards and in doing so gives the opposition time to get their players back behind the ball, he really frustrates the s**t out of me, and on top of that he keeps giving away stupid free kicks in dangerous positions. I was impressed with the 4 debutants, Paulinho ran out of steam towards the end, but he will only be better for the run, Soldado will certainly become a feared striker, he definitely needs some help, Chadli was quite impressive and showed flashes of why he was bought, and Capoue will give us added steel in the midfield.
           Yes I think we are in for a very interesting & exciting season.

Yes I felt much the same as you really. Our first opening day 3 pointer for a number of years I think.

Good all round performances I thought from Lloris Rose and the 4 new players. As you say, Soldado looks the real deal. I thought Walker / Dawson looked all over the place at times, a definite weak link still.
Lennon tried hard with no end result as usual, same for Siggy really. As for Defoe, he comes on with 10 minutes to make a name for himself, looks really sharp, then misses the easiest chance of the game to score, having done all the hard work. Same old same old. Without doubt, we need a really creative midfielder, to unlock defences and give Soldado some decent service. Also another top striker as Soldado is the only one we have it would seem.

If ever there was a doubt about Scott Parker, this man answered it !!

I agree but we are getting there. A very promising season ahead of us.
