My Thoughts On The Game

1... Our Press — There's something Jence.jyde(pardon me If I spelt it incorrectly biko) always say about the 1st 15min of every game and how it tells you how ready or not a team is prepared to take all 3points available and from our first 5 matches, we've always always started on the front foot with good pressing and aggressiveness. This mostly unsettles the opposition, their game plan and rhythm. It's no wonder our first goals mostly comes within an average minutes of first 25min. Shout out to Odegaard, Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus for always leading the press from the front, never stop running and always blocking passing lanes(Odegaard is very very good at this especially ystdy match). This enables teams to always punt long balls up for Saliba and Gabriel to easily win as we easily gain back possession. Kudos to Arteta and great work from him!!!

2.. It's always terrifying for defenders to face Gabriel Jesus cos this guy can't allow you to rest one bit. What's more is that with his average height he still tends to win lots of aerial ball not even because of outjumping defenders aerially but by just application of sense — simple nudge on the defender to unsettle them, the compete for the ball with the aerial height is reduced. He's done this time and time again and ystdy was no different. Another thing is how he links up play with Midfield and before you know it, you're already seeing him in the opponent's box. Sharp alertness to pounce on the rebound by Martinez to get us the first goal. Great game overall

3... Abeg, who give us this Xhaka cos this is not the Xhaka we knew all these while. I mean, where was these Xhaka all these years?? This guy is more creative, more sharp, really attacking and was everywhere on the pitch. One minute he's in the Midfield dictating play and bullying Aston Villa, the next minute he's making runs into the box for an attack, the very next he's defending and helping Sambi in the middle of the park. His presence was really felt ystdy. He seems to be enjoying this new system and it has really improved his other facets of the game. More of this from him as he seems to be improving every week. Like I said last week, goodluck to anybody that wants to bench him cool

4... All our subs where very very impressive ystdy as there wasn't a drop in quality by any one of them with the pick of the bunch being Nketiah and Tomiyasu. Nketiah really held the ball well, beat his man and made sure we escape pressure anytime we won the ball and Villa wanted to press us when the wanted the 2nd goal. A really excellent game from him. Tomi on the other hand really lockdown that RHS defensively both aerially and ground duels while doing his job attackingly. Same for Smith Rowe and Holding whose influence helped us to see out the game.

5... Kudos to our front 3 ystdy. The mentality these 3 have are top notch. Saka still not at his usual best but still very decent enough to make things happen and was unsurprisingly revived when Tomi was introduced. Martinelli capped his wonderful performance with a very nice goal. Easily Motm for me. How much did we say we bought nobodinho again? tongue

6... Sambi had a great game. I was really really impressed with his game to be honest. Good composure under pressure, silky passes both long and short, know when to keep things simple and know when to drive ball forward and when to recycle the ball effectively. He was really immense ystdy. But that's the positives. He really underwhelmed defensively and his positioning defensively was poor. Xhaka and Odegaard really helped him defensively with their A-game pressing and tackling else we would have been cooked. I'm concerned about him against Man u not because of his attacking attributes but will his Defensive frailties come to the fore? Shout out to our defence. Really did a great job ystdy. Just unlucky for the goal.

7.. I hardly say this but then, did ref and Var really want us to drop point ystdy?? How was Saka not given a penalty for the way Mings blantantly "fling " him away. I mean what could be more clear than that. I was still reeling about that then their goal happened. Please is there anybody that can give any honest but logical reason why that goal stood? This is the first time I'm seeing a keeper clearly impeded and held in his own area even while struggling to get to the ball, yet Var officials still deemed it a goal. Omo!!. I don't want to even talk about the roughs those guys where doing as if they want to kill our players
Thank God for our quick response, and clean undoubted goals if not, maybe dem fit chalk one off as offside.
Lastly these guys mentality isn't talked about enough

Hope Martin Odegaard will be fit for weekend's match.

#Top of the table
#5/5
#tough match at the weekend
#COYG!!!!
All your views are spot on, except the later part on Lokonga.

He was never going to give a Partey performance but he did exceptionally well within his abilities. He is not the type that goes hard defending and that's exactly what the manager wants. He job defending is to take up spaces and block passing lanes. This he did well. Which informs the number of shots by Aston Villa and our dominance of the game.

Strong links with Douglas Luiz. Can play as an 8 and a 6. Makes so much sense.

Lol, I'm never expecting Lokonga to give Partey performance, Infact, I said I was impressed with his game. If he can just add a little more defensively in his game I wouldn't mind him starting Tbh. If he indeed was blocking passing lanes, I would have seen him doing lots of interceptions but I didn't sha. There was I reason I said he was positionally poor defensively ystdy and that's because even those passing lanes blockade, he was found wanting.

He just needs to be good defensively at least. But in terms of attacking attributes, he's one of the reasons we dominated Aston Villa. Him try wella no doubts

Arsenal are prepared to reach an agreement with Douglas Luiz on personal terms. Douglas keen on the move, work in progress. #AFC #DeadlineDay

Negotiations still ongoing between the clubs, not an easy one.

Like I said I'm happy for him and he should improve for the betterment of himself and this team. But that's not really our bone of contention is it??

It's just like me dropping Tavarez goals alerts to you whenever he scores just to prove that he was good last season. Does it make sense?? grin

I still stand on our bet and I no dey shift ground.
Come December, if I don't see Balogun in the first team alongside Saka, just be ready for dragging.

Villa doesn't wanna sell, but the guy contract expires at the end of this season, so it actually favours them to cash out on him now before he walks out free at the end of the season. The hope is that Luiz wants the move.

In a game we dominated you shouldn't expect many defensive stats but rather offensive. Assuming we were on the back foot then your analysis would make more meaning to me.

But let's disagree to agree, give him a rating over ten. Two people gave 5/10, and 7/10 respectively. What's yours ... undecided

If we're on back foot, I would look at the offensive plays then grin. You'll only know how good a player is when there's pressure and not When there's none. Example is Nketiah ystdy. His offensive play was great even when we were on the defensive and that helped us to relieve pressure very well, same as ESR ystdy.


Well, I'll rate him 7/10. Like I said he really impressed me gaan ystdy. Everything about his attacking play was spot on. His progressive play, his ball recycling, his short and long passes, his decision making. It was really great

Not sure that is the exact figure... But Arsenal has a sell on clause in the termination agreement of Auba same with Bellerin. Some say is 60% others say is only 25%, and it depends on the total value of Auba sales. We know Chelsea paid €14m + Alonso for Auba, we need to determine the money value of Alonso in that deal to be able to work out the final payment they owe Arsenal.... Anyways, Arsenal is getting something from the deal.

Good luck to Auba except when playing us.

Marquinhos and Viera can play there, also Jesus can play that wing while we use Nketiah as a CF.

See the screenshot below.

You, Iamoyindamola and Blueraydick should apologize and sing a praise song each for me. Reason:

1. I predicted correctly that Lokonga will start the match

2. And in the CM position

3. In a double pivot with Xhaka

4. And that he will do well

All of you opposed me and even termed me emotional.

I was proven right, meaning I know this club more than you at least for today.

So apologize and sing a song for me all of you undecided

There is no sell on clause in Aubameyang deal.

Only belerin deal and it's 25% which is meaningless because Bracca only gave Belkerin a one year contract with no extension.

You talk as if Arteta has not been pushing for a midfielder since TW opened. Besides this was a test for Lokonga and he excelled to a large extent people are rating him 7/10. He only needs to bulk up a bit and you will see that he is good. Any way, I will accept your little apology.
