Yeah LFC

My mind just went there this morning.

Who remembers that the pass Viera dropped for Jesus for the goal, Martinelli was in a similar position last season against City but chose to run with the ball instead of a one time pass.

He could have done same on Sunday.

That's one of the problems of Martinelli ; always looking down when he has the ball at his feet instead of looking up to see an unmarked teammate

Pls why can't I upload images. The cloudflare blocks it.

Hian, what you uploaded is fifa rules na.

FIFA rules is very very different from EPL rules(or league rules).

And all these while I was thinking you were even talking about new EPL rules

Are PL rules done outside FIFA?

PL introduces minor changes like how much contact, how many subs or how refs are treated etc but not core football rules like offside or penalty.

Nicolas Pepe will join Besiktas. The player passed a medical in Paris today. Pepe accepted Besiktas’ proposal in ‘recent hours’, after initially rejecting them earlier in this transfer window.




£2m Loan deal with obligation to buy for £6m.

The only time he did that against Man u, we scored through Odegaard.

Sometimes, he should be looking up for good

Even Blueray showed you new EPL rules and it contradicts with FIFA and you're still holding onto what I don't know.

Sometimes, it's doesn't take anything away from you to admit you're wrong.

Is Pepe mad ?

So he's even rejecting offers? I don't blame him sha, it's the people that sanction his purchase in the first place I blame

Aye oo, it will never be well with who ever authorized the deal and everyone involve in it

That's why a more experienced coach would buy a more experienced winger so the young chap can learn one or two or begin to think better ways to approach a situo when he chop bench taya. If Nelli can just change two key parts of his game, he will become that telepathic partner that Odegaard needs. Odegaard is ALWAYS in spots that Nelli can assist a goal from. But guy mo dey look up. I can count how many pass and shoot that would have made Nelli seen in a new light from last season alone. But....


As much as i love our versatility currently, we need experience in this team again. Like actual experience. The young boys need it. Yunno. Auba was someone that had influence on Saka decision making before all those chaotic Gbasgbos began.


We have Trossard but coach loves playing him as a 9. Every time that happens, we see that Trossard is more involved outside the box than inside the box. Yet... Yet!!!


We can enjoy the thrill for now, but we shouldn't wait till we jam another sporting Lisbon before we start reacting.


Overall, Odegaard is a gem. We aren't hyping him enough.

To me, experience is not only by age but by what one can do effectively due to past endeavours and improvements. Martinelli have been in our starting 11 for how many years now? I think he has that experience, just improvement he needs to work on

Not saying we don't need competition with Martinelli if we can but I feel he just needs improvement in some grey areas(decision making and outside finishing) and he'll be world class. Mind you, most top teams in EPL would pick Martinelli in a heartbeat

Also, that Lisbon match we played (which we lost on penalties btw), we used mostly our second 11 and returning injured players to gain rhythm. I don't know why you're using that match to access the strength of our team. I still feel it's not a fair picture

mostob:
So in one word, Saka na Tiger generator wey dey get plug problem when you wan start am but immediately it starts, no going back.

Be like so

DaveP, I know you would love for us to have that striker that will be scoring 20-30+ goals for us. While that isn't bad but sometimes it breeds this over reliance of other players on him(sometimes subconsciously).

See Saka for example, he wasn't a good/frequent goalscorer when Auba was here. He was always looking for Auba even if 3 people were marking him thus making us one dimensional sometimes but since the time he left, he took it upon himself to start scoring. Same with Odegaard too.

My Mantra is that, If you see chance, just score, we don't have to concentrate it on one person. Reason why I was critical of Jesus before his injury last season. He had the big opportunity to have at least double figure(or close to) before the first half of last season but he wasted big chances.

We don't really need that one 20+ goalscorer if we can get five 15+ goalscorers. It's always healthy that way. See against Man u, with the way we were pressing, I was certain a goal can come from anywhere. If it was during Auba time, I would be praying for him to score cos of he doesn't, we're doomed except of course any of our players head touch that day and score

Trossard is already a decent deputy for Martinelli; there's no need packing the team with 3-4 players playing the same position and the coach will be having headache trying to make all of them happy. Martinelli needs to improve some aspects of his game like u rightly pointed out and the coach can start Trossard ahead of him when the need arises. Not forgetting we have other utility players that can be used in the position as well.

Thank you very much.

Jorginho has been a big brother and a true Arsenal dressing room leader.

This man is really enjoying his time with Arsenal. Jorginho couldn't even focus on the warm-up to prepare to be thrown into the match, but he celebrated hysterically when Declan Rice scored.

The midfielder also continuously directed, shouted to encourage his teammates not to give up when the match was not over. No different from an assistant coach outside the touchline.

Jorginho's role seems to be getting bigger and bigger at the Emirates Stadium. Really admire the behavior and dedication of this man.

Your thoughts...

#Arsenal

I really wish we have the depth at the RW like we have on the left wing.



At the right wing, we have the wide forward type 5 (Martinelli), we have the proper winger (Nelson) and we have the creative one (Trossard). Saka alone combines this three but he need a backup. Make interhouse cup start asap make we see Lucky Dube.

This is pure Fraud! How on earth are we losing so much on a player. That's why I am always against paying over the odds for any player. The cons are always more than the pros. Chelsea right now is a good example.

If we set a price then we stick to it else we revamp our scouting network to much better just like Brighton is doing.

We need. Especially as Arteta is not yet Pep Guardiola yet. We are back to exceptionally serious football. We will need such a player for grand stages. Every big team, at most have such a player. Once again, unless you are Pep, you can't execute terror on the grandstage or get respected more than you currently enjoy.


Maybe I'm overprojecting
Maybe i just see the future
Maybe i just want us to sustain tempo, get an upgrade
Maybe i just want us to be that team everyone fears like Madrid with Benzema, Bayern with Lewa, City with Haaland, etc
I'm a 'on the move' person.

Sporting Lisbon Days(my new slang for days we are tactically outsmarted/days we fall short) will come and we don't want it to be the question pundits will ask during halftime or fulltime.

"We are just too good, but we needed that pointman"


Of course we can play like this for next 3years. But we need to go two steps ahead. Teams that have such don't fully rely on them.

For me, there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with becoming better than what we are seeing and loving right now. Infact many top european teams can play without such a pointman. But we know what the presence of one does to any backline anyday, anytime.

That's why I'm clamoring for it.

88 today. Then lets go 100+ with such player.

You said the fact. Experience is not only by age. But for whatever definition it stands for in this context, time is a factor and so age is involved. A player like Ibrahimovic has hone across all big leagues and is an experienced baller. Now be he younger or older, he has garnered experienced in a context to know how to play against teams from that league.


We need it!!

As for Lisbon game, youre right but we were also tactically outmaneuvered. That was obvious. Plus the mistakes. We also realized that night how easy an experienced defender can silence our young wingers. Plus having no alternative (this fits your angle)

Exactly. We've improved greatly in depth at least. But these forwards need deputies/competition. Plus Trossard dey but Teta no wan allow the guy play his natural position.


We don't need to wait for a day Saka is Injured and we start experiment with formation and position. Naaah.

Well, I don't think anybody is against us improving.

Can we reach a 100+ with five or more players scoring 20+ goals??

Or do you think it's impossible?

What type of experienced players do you have in mind presently (esp attackers) that you think we should get that would take us to that next level?

Would you be happy if we get a Benzema, Lewy or Cavani as our striker because they have great experience?

That screenshot invalidated your stance about the "new offside rule".
