Cech was the poster child of Arsenal’s terrible game against West Ham. The first goal he surrended was a blatant mistake where he completely let down the concentration and decision making that he has become so well known for.

The second goal was more a product of him being shielded from seeing the shot, but the overall message remains the same – he should have done better. We signed him to make a difference.

Crystal Palace have a flighty attack, with Wilfried Zaha, Dwight Gale and Frazier Campbell being high-flying attackers and former Arsenal man Maroune Chamakh being an aerial target. It is not the most formidable attack, but I had downplayed West Ham’s attack as well.

Petr Cech needs to see out a clean sheet in this one.
