iamoyindamola:
I hope our golden boy will release ball on time

Once we survive the first 20 mins of man city press then we stand a chance in the game.

iamoyindamola:
first time I'm not questioning guen starting cos of xhaka form, city also have some weak departments I hope we defend well and hit them on counter

Yes ó, especially pepe and martinelli on the wings hitting them with fast attacking football

iamoyindamola:
Baba comot calamity xhaka before he do through pass for kdb.
But even guen, AMN and papa are all suspects

I think Guendouzi will play well, at least better than Xhaka sha.

As for Mitland-Niles, na wetin we see we go collect. Since no other right back is fit enough to play, we no get choice.

Line up.

Sokratis na suspect sha

iamoyindamola:
he was at the receiving end not his fault

Well I do didn't claim he got himself like some damn Phil Jones.....I just stated it the way I see it: He's seeing less actions due to injuries just like Wilshire. And it's worrying when u think he was bought to cement that left back position

PapalsBull:
Kieran Tierney out for 3 months.

Local man be looking like Wilshire 2.0 with all this constant injury o

Roland17:
We have to be careful with how much we wrote off Mavropanos. You have to consider this is infact his first full competitive game for Arsenal since October 2018, that is nearly 14 months of being sidelined because of different injuries. Ironically the insufferable clowns you are comparing him with have never suffered injuries so I don’t know what to excuse their comical defending with.

I'm actually not writing him off. At least holding was once like that and he turned out good afterwards.

Na the reason why I say he's not ready. Maybe if he goes on loan and goes to prove himself elsewhere i will be impressed.

Spy360:
This is the point.

Mavropanos did not show any reason why he should get a place ahead of any of those two tonight.

In fact those two played better than he did when the 3 of them were on the pitch. He kicked the ball in the path of an attacking player twice in the first half. He was shaky.

kokaneprodigy:
your posts don confuse me. I’m not even getting ur arguments. U fit don high sef abeg I Dey go sleep.

But na when most people high dem dey reason pass ó. U go just dey get ideas wey u no go fit to ever implement

iamoyindamola:
mustafi 24
Holding 23
I thought 19-30 will be classified as youth??

19-30 báwo?

Once u are 25 u stop being a youngster ó.....Na other adjectives dem go use dey describe u

Sincerely make nobody mention pairing Mavropanos with anybody for Here again ó.

And that Nelson ehn, that one....I can't even describe his pattern of play. He's not ready sha

Whoever assigned Nelson the duty of playing corner kicks, that rubbish must stop!

Fkhalifa:

Baba na curse ?

Na wetin I dey watch I talk ó.

The young man thinks he's on the pitch to just showboat. He's not been impressive at all

2-2 now!

Martinelli impact

This Smith-Rowe game.no fit mature for the next 3 years sef

This willock is really full of shiiit

We wasted so many chances in the first half, now we've conceded 1-0

iamoyindamola:
luiz nko senior pangolo

Dino did it twice o

iamoyindamola:
Dino Ryan melaye starts I need that guy fully fit jare

U don see Ur Dino nearly cause goal now ó. Make he no dey shake like mustafi na

iamoyindamola:
Dino Ryan melaye starts I need that guy fully fit jare

Na today we go know if ur guy Dino fit play ball àbí make he go face Ajekuniya politics

This is not bad tho.

Na only that Smith-Rowe supposed allow him head correct, make he no dey nonesense

Spy360:
I won't subscribe to blaming the players for the team performance. None of our players are ordinarily bad. We have just not found a way to use them. Its the managers job to maximally utilise a player and move him on if he feels he is no longer useful. Just as Man Utd let Lukaku and Smalling go, see his they are doing now.

Xhaka may be terrible playing for us but he isn't a bad footballer, he just doesn't fit in. Same as Ozil etc. The Ozil situation which leaves us with a little regret for selling Iwobi.

As for Ozil, after the match yesterday, I began to wonder if the club have actually starting thinking of a replacement, one that is quite imminent.

Bros, its obvious Ozil is washed out and on a decline, but Xhaka's case is inexcusable. He's been consistently dishing out woeful performances over time.

I don't think it is the manager's job to ensure Xhaka does not misplace passes like he did all tru the night yesterday. (Do u know the number of loose passes he did yesterday that nearly led to goals yesterday?)

I don't think it the manager needs to tell him to observe restraint rather than make rash tackles while he's defending against an opposing player in our 18 yard box (Do u know he almost gave out a penalty yesterday with his regular rash tackles?)

I've said it before, Xhaka has shown he can't play in the middle either as CM,DM, AM or any other M in the EPL. He can be easily dispossessed, doesn't provide enough cover for the back 4 and makes reckless decisions going into tackles.

Abeg Xhaka should pack and go

While I was happy seeing the boys bounce back in the second half of the game yesternight having falling behind in the first half, It is important Ljunberg work more on the Psyche of the players else they will make him Emery 2.0 version. I mean the first indicator of things not being right was Arsenal under Emery always conceding first and later fighting it out to either get a draw and some times win. Even when we played the few games unbeaten last season, almost the same thing happen. We were always chasing games instead of dictating the pace of the game from the first blow of the whistle.

I think he needs to find a way and psyche them up to get their Hustle on from the first minute. We should not be put in position to be chasing games always. You can't chase game against some teams, it won't work all the time. Take a look at City, they hustle you for the first 20 mins of the game. You only win city if you can withstand their pressure for the first 10-20minutes. They will so probe u till u fumble. That's the kind of hustle we should put on.

Ozil in the first half was just too casual, no urgency in his game. He only raised his game in the second half which leaves me wondering why he never did that in the first half. Xhaka has no future whatsoever as a Midfielder in a top club in EPL. If they will keep on using Sokratis at then back, then there should be a rule not to pass to him at the back, that man cannot play ball with his legs; he's unstable like power supply in Okokomaiko....

iamoyindamola:
Mr Kola came through yesterday, he had to play with injury and he delivered a Tierney like cross....
More of the same please

Bro I was impressed. He now made it seem as if Tierney was too soft on Snodgrass when Tierney was on the pitch. He used his power positively yesternight and he also crossed that ball for Marinelli I think.

Spy360:
Its the vibe that he brings. That's why I said allow the younger players. The moment he got that goal, the whole team became rejuvenated. The vibe.

Yes. I love how he runs at defence and always ready to start a counter when we are on the defensive. Just like someone posited, he's looking more like Sanchez kinda player who is ready to give it all. Despite the fact that he was constantly fouled in the first half, he kept on going.

If his growth continues like thjs, by 22 he should have matured into a fantastic player clubs will sought after

Just look at a player like Xhaka wasting this God given stature nítorí Ọlọ́run . Look at his body frame. Make Torreira just get this stature, all epl midfield for dey hear am

Martineli appreciation post

Torreira and Martineli really stood out for me

Pepe assist. Aubamaigoal

Pepe!

If I dey stadium I will personally boo Xhaka. That guy just wants to be unfortunate along with ozil.
