Imagine yourself in Arteta's shoes. Manager at Camp Nou, same foot steps as your mentor.

It's enticing and any bad energy from Arsenal may ignite the desire and before you know it...

I remember same thing happened with Fabregas.
Trust me, if Arteta will leave for Barca it will have nothing to do with bad mouthing or bad energy .

Of course barca will pay alot to get him out of arsenal, i want him to succeed but he can frustrate person with silly decisions especially with young players. I hope you can agree with me that if ebening didn't bring saka to the first team this arteta won't even know him.
I'm still angry they forced smith on him before he head correct, he is the only manager of us yet to bring in youngster to the first team he demote nelson, freeze out martinelli forget about balogun and azeez.
Haba who does that, the rumor he helped sane is turning to be false
I can’t speak for him because I really don’t know why he takes those decisions , but a part of me thinks he’s afraid of failure hence why he prefers to use more experienced hands in the job.

You will agree with me that part of reasons responsible for Wenger’s woes in his last years at Arsenal was his unflinching love for youth;he used youthful players to a fault. He lost FA cups, Carling cups to his love for youthful players and it hurt us all badly. Look at Arteta fielding a strong team matching Chelsea , Man city etc on our way to winning the FA cup.

While I’m a fan of giving youth a chance, I do not subscribe to having them populate the whole team list. Arsenal is not Ajax playing in the Dutch league . The truth is we can’t have all our youth players walking into the team and displacing the older ones just like that. The fact that we lost out in the FA cup and carabao cup early this won’t help the youth players. Arteta is our to make a statement in the Europa league and definitely won’t risk throwing dem Azeez , Balogun just like that; I’m sure the players know this and will be looking towards impressing the coach when they have the chance .

As for Martinelli and Nelson I really do not understand why they aren’t playing even Europa league regularly . Only Arteta knows why he’s treating them like that especially when players like Willian and Pepe weren’t in form

Honestly me no care if we can get a better replacement
He’s not a bad coach actually , he just makes some head scratching decisions at times.

The only edge Good Ebening has over him is making timely and reasonable substitutions. If Good Ebening is trailing by half time, he usually makes one or two subs at half time and they are mostly the right subs. I give that to good Ebening any day any time.

Aside that , I like Arteta for his defensive approach to big games and always trying to get something out of big fixtures.

All that being said, if a better coach should be signed then the club should also be ready to spend money to buy players, if not we will remain the same ; nothing will change in our story

Imagine!

This ogun state government led by Dapo Abiodun has no iota of shame! Imagine after failing at ur duty of protecting lives and properties of citizens that elected u into power, the best u can do is to advise them against going to their farms ... : shocked shocked

Do they even know how this sounds ? The helpless Baale(local chief) takes u round his community to show u how havoc was wrecked by Fulani herdsmen and the only thing the government can offer him is the advise to tell his people to stay away from their farms and if they must go, they should go in groups ..... embarassed

So, when we got there, the acting Baale of the town, after taking us through the wreckage, told us that there were fears of imminent attacks by the herders, but, in the circumstances they found yourselves, we advised them that they can hold on until everything was okay and that if they must go out to the farm, then, they have to go in groups. That advice was meant for Asa village and not for the whole of Yewa”, Oladele submitted.

Arsenal player of the half for me. Looked adventurous, in control and lively throughout.
I think Cedric playing on that right wing with him makes him better . I watched how bellerin was useless all tru our past matches , he doesn’t help those playing on the right wing with him

My guy, Dawisu defended Ganduje all round from the Gandollar scandal to uprooting Sanusi illegally to the fiasco of the 2019 elections. Injustice is injustice everywhere but I will not forget his support of tyranny simply because it is now his turn to enjoy the fruits of the seeds HR sowed.

Dadiyata has been missing for over 2 years now. This same Dawisu openly mocked people asking for his whereabouts on Twitter.

Make we talk truth too. I cannot canonize the devil because he has fallen into the trap he laid for Others.
You are really not getting it. My question is simple all what you have said up there and what Amoto said , are those enough justification for DSS to arrest him for criticizing the government ?

Do u know what it means ? It’s just like we trying to justify what the army did in Obigbo saying because IPOB and Kanu have always issued inflammatory words it’s justifiable the army took over obigbo and start harassing everyone in sight.

What is bad is bad; DSS arresting a critic of the government leaves a bad taste in the mouth. It feels like we are the Abacha era once again when DMI goes about making government critics disappear

In the past when we had little information on how government works we used to blame FG for anything that happens but having gotten to know how government works across tiers it's dishonest to continue doing so because it means we are not in search of truth.
Severally in my state (Kogi) kidnappers of different ethnic extractions including those who are Fulanis have been caught and dealt with by the local security set up across the state, Buhari didn't stop Yahaya Bello from doing the needful to ensure the protection of lives and properties of his people. On Friday I travelled from Abuja to Okene on approaching Okene-Lokoja section of the Expressway I saw local security outfits patrolling the road, those guys in collaboration with Federal security operatives have put criminals on their toes although the criminals do come out once in a while but there's massive improvement.
There have been hashtags and it resulted in several security meetings by the 19 northern state governors one of such hashtags is #SecureNorth.
Obaino as a CEO of a company will you not discipline an employee who decided to criticise you publicly despite him having access to you or those closer to you who they can lay their complaints to? Dawisu is part of the government he should provide solution in-house not running to social media to vent his frustrations. Dawisu that supported the robbery that happened in Kano in 2019 is forming radical.
Are you seriously justifying the arrest of a government's critic by DSS because he was part of the Kano apc government?

Fkhalifa:
He is primarily a poacher and plays off the shoulder of the last man.Infact he is the true definition of a goal poacher.When the team is playing well he will score lots of goals but when the team is playing badly his poor ability on the ball is massively exposed.Due to the fact that he doesn’t like to get involved in build up play that much and always waiting for that one opportunity this is what is usually translated as laziness as seen usually on bad days for Arsenal



Aubameyang is similar to Ozil. They approach games the same way. Just like Ozil whose weapon were his final balls and assists, Abumeyang only weapon is his goal scoring exploit. He is our fastest player but he barely runs on the field. Soon when the goals start drying, he will become as useless as Ozil. He is another fraud waiting to happen. If we really are serious we should be doing everything to keep Laca.


Copied.
You are spot on with Ur first paragraph and the second paragraph till u mentioned keeping Laca ahead of Auba.

No serious coach will keep Laca ahead of Auba, except maybe Klopp sha; the way he uses 2 potent wingers in Mane and Sallah to get goals while Fiminho the CF only passes the ball to them.

If we decide to rely on Lacazette on goals then we are in for a long thing. He's not an everyday goal scorer, he's shown that over the years.

The best bet is for us to get another striker that can score regularly and create when things get tough.

I think Aubameyang did what he needed to do yesterday, he took his chances which for us was more important than creating any.

I think bar the defensive errors, the team did well as the ground was a neutral ground.
Well, that was after the die minute goal was scored. My position was from the whole first half to the moment he scored that goal. He offered little threat to their defence. I appreciate the fact that he scored those two goals, but we would've pounced in him for being lost in the match if Saka didn't play that pass anf cross and the match ended 2-2.

What I'm saying is going forward we need a striker that can create something out of nothing.

While we may want to question Ceballos’ performance yesternight and even blame him for giving out a free kick that led to goal and an error that led to the second goal we should also point fingers at the coach as well .

Why should ceballos who is known to be a creative midfielder be saddled with defensive duties at those points in the game ?

ORIJIN201:
Takes like this is the reason I don’t like commenting on here. What’s the job of a striker? If your midfield is sh!t, you won’t score goals because your striker doesn’t get service.

The reason we qualified today is because we had a striker who got to the end of final passes. Blaming your striker for the inadequacy of your midfield is another beer parlor analysis that shouldn’t see the light of the day.
Alaye , nobody forced u to post in the past and definitely nobody forced u to post this very comment ! If u can’t be reasonable and mature when u have contrary opinion to someone else’s maybe u should do us all a favor to get off ur 4cking high horse and geddifork outahere!

How in God’s name will any reasonable person read what I wrote up there and conclude I was blaming Auba for our midfielders’ woes?

My point was very clear, prior to Saka doing his magic Auba was all choked up with Benfica’s defenders . He was practically not heard or seen off the ball .

Everyone here knows how I stan Auba even when some sections of the fans here called for him to be sold and Lacazette be retained in his place. I have always acknowledged his goal scoring prowess but now Arsenal needs much more than a striker who will stay quite all tru the match and tap in a well placed pass at the end of the match. The team I saw play yesterday needs everybody putting in their 101% if we are going to get anything out of this season. I even acknowledged Auba’s quality hence why I said we need another “top striker “ who will offer us much more .

A striker in the mould of Luiz Suarez or Fernando Torres in their hay days will do this team more good .
