There was no charm in play here..He slapped her and made her unconscious. Bros only wanted to enter his home zone and escape hence he came up with the shrine and antidote story.

Unfortunately the people would have none of that. Anyways the lady died because those that ought to give her first aid were busy trying to beat the man to a pulp

sod09:

Woke 3.35am to prepare this before taking my bathe and leaving for work before 5am.

Shalla to all those women that make sure their husby gets to take food to the office and the kids get to take some with them to school.

Greatihex:
the problem i have with you guys is that you rush to rundown a player you don't know.


How many players do you know in the world that has created more chances than Hazard since he became a full professional?

Define chances here please

Fkhalifa:
I see him scoring v.much if surrounded by dembele,mhicky of old,reus,kagawa Shirley,pulisic et al. Else look at the big games he's played, he looks lost and useless with very few touches.

There's nothing much is telling your striker, you've been good,but do this and do that. Scoring 15 behind sallah isn't 10/10 , I'm not criticizing him -vely, I've said he's good and done well, just add this to your game daxzal..

Sanchez despite scoring 25 and assisting 10 fans ask him to release ball on time or demand few more stuffs. No Arsenal player has gotten to the 10/10 level.

Alright then o

solomonbrown64:
.... Honestly bro, I don't know what he wants from the guy again. He is banging in the goals and carries out his dues most times in matches for the team. If he expects him to learn how to dribble and score like Rashford at his age, then such a fan will be disappointed.

I just weak for the bros matter. He brought Auba up to make excuse for Ozil's uninspiring performances in recent times and the stats points Auba has excelled thus far.

Even Chelsea fans wish they got Auba in place of Morata. I no just understand why he want to downplay Auba's effectiveness but claim he's not doing exactly that.

Fkhalifa:
obviously, Auba has been the scorer and any coach will use him.
The best of him can be gotten by surrounding him with creative wingers and a good no10. Else he will be useless..
But laca on the other hand, not much a scorer, but an all rounda forward who could score,build up and assist.

Let's say with
Auba 25 goals, 5 assists.
Laca 20 goals, 7 assist and 5 build up.

Good forwards, hope we get best of them.

What other best do you require from someone who is second highest goal scorer in the league with just a goal behind the epl highest goal scorer?

And how do you mean he will be useless witjout getting a good number 10 playing behind him? He is presently playing under that condition and so far so good he's delivering in his role. He's probably going to hit 20goals + in his first full season in England. I don't really get this personal standard you are setting for him, but belive me he has been very good at beating the normal standard to be used in judging him

Fkhalifa:
I'm not supporting ozil nor am I against Auba..
Giroud and sanago will score tap ins to.

Personally, I don't like their style of play in modern day football, maybe in 2012 I could have.

I'm sure if ozil has like 15 assist to his name with poor his usual slow empty performances, everyone would have been on his side, Auba's saving grace has been the goals either tap or shoulder in.

That's the funny thing about life,no one cares about your effort, so far they see result all your sins are forgiven.

I noticed Auba's style of just wanting for service to score and I started having some worries, some fans have started seeing this to, but we can hardly win the argument since he scores.

Often times I see remarks from pundits and fans saying " Auba didn't do anything apart from the goal
similar to when ozil had the 19 assist, comments like "ozil had a quiet game but had an assist and gbam they rate him 7.

As for me Laca ahead of Auba in the CF position.

Well, seems the coach likes Auba's playing style and it seems he is happy with his contributions which may be the reason he gets more playing time than any forward player in the team

Ibime:
I'm reading this morning that his Insurance had gone through actually. I had read initially that it was unlikely insurance would be in place by this stage.

That is good news for the family. Which of the clubs effected the policy for him, I am guessing it's Cardiff. If that's the case, that means Cardiff is sure going to pay that 15m in full to Nantes o

iamJ:
no it's not, if I take out an insurance package for my car and the day after I placed my first payment, Its stolen, the insurance company losses and I get another car easily, if he was insured, the company will pay and cardiff wouldn't have had to pay much given how early it happened, insurance is a huge gamble, most of them foldup, infact there are very few insurance companies that will agree to big insurances

I think you are missing the point. What I think he's trying to tell you is Insurance especially life insurance does not work the way you think it to be. For you to be covered under a life policy you must have undergone a medical test which the insurance company Will assess along with you current annual earnings (multiples of which will be the cash payout in the event of your death). It is only after this that you can pay premium(cost of insurance) and then be said to be covered under the policy. There are instances where the person might just be added to an existing group policy arranged for member of staff, but even as at that the company( in this case the club) will still need to provide your personal details and financial details to the insurer for them to arrange cover for him.

Obviously none of this is in place yet because just like Ibime rightly said, the paper work may not actually be completed as at the time of the crash.

You Claim about insurance folding up and being a huge gamble is not really true. Insurers have Reinsurers who also insure their own risks as well. Wherever risk they insure, they re-insure a proportion of it with reinsurers. When there is a loss, the reinsurers contribute to the payout in the same proportion they re-insure the original risk. Insurance business is a big business in the western world and some insurance companies are so big they own banks and other businesses

Fkhalifa:
Then ozil should be spared also, he's had the best assist and chance created stat, so why are they criticizing him, as a 10, your main duty is to assist and create chances, and ozil has done v.well on that front.
It it not his fault if the forwards can't finish it off, not his fault for goal keepers and defensive errors, not his duty to start tackling and winning ball back.

He broke the record of most chance created in a season, 2nd most all time assist in English football's history 19, behind Henri's 20..

And if ozil will be blamed for not doing enough, then Auba shouldn't be spared, fans everywhere claim Auba is USELESS without laca, then ozil should be excused for being useless without a Sanchez with him on pitch..

My argument is this, football today especially in Englad has passed " just go there and score,or go and create chances etc"

Players are expected to multitask on the pitch, Auba shouldn't be waiting for tap ins for the entire game, if the cut backs are not coming or are being intercepted, then drift to middle or wing, change dynamics,confuse opposition, try new stuffs like, shooting from outside,win fouls and penalties, hold the ball up for others to run in the box.

Its not every game you get those easy chances,that's why he seems useless in most big games, from the first half I know he will be -1 and won't score.

I'm not after highest goal scorer or assist trophy,be a team player, and stop restricting your task to just scoring or assisting that won't reflect on the team.

I really don't understand what you want from Auba. He scored a beauty against Tottenham and we all praised him for that. He's second on the epl highest goal scorers with 15 goals and 4 assists. You are just being unfair talking about tapping in goals and all. Obviously you've been watching the wrong player all year round. I suggest you head to YouTube and watch a video of all his Arsenal goals and confirm if they are all tap-ins and see if those so called fans that believe he's nothing without Lacazette aren't just being foolish.

Auba like other strikers hard press defenders when he's not with the ball to force them miskick the ball towards our midfielders.

You talk about Ozil breaking assist record and all, yet he was let go by real Madrid. He broke same record here and has since diminished in form. We are talking about the present you are talking about the past. The guy agreed with you ozil was a beauty to behold but can't play the mordern day 10. He pointed out typical modern day number 10 to you in teams doing quite well now but you decide to stick with ozil of the past.

The truth is ozil has shown again and again that he can't hold his own when the team is in the defensive and most modern day coaches including Emery are not cool with that.


I wonder what you mean by that your last paragraph. Perhaps you see Giroud as a team player and Auba otherwise. Smh. So would rather your striker keep passing to team mates like Giroud does instead of scoring himself.

Fkhalifa:
Ozil isn't alone on this for me, I lash Aubameyang to, as an experienced, expensive big name player, fans look up to you to drive and push the entire team up, whatever then happens, we can then say, he did all he could but was let down by the mediocre teammates.

Ask whoever the 4ck our sporting director is and he will tell you Auba was bought to score goals Giroud has always been missing; trust me he's doing just that.

Everyone knows he wasn't purchased to be driving the team upandan. He's never done that before now. He's been a goal scorer and yes he's been that at Arsenal.He is a goal behind Salah the last season's highest goal scorer and epl player of the year. Why you think he should be driving the team when the coach has not assigned him that role baffles me

ORIJIN201:
and what did they win for you?
You mentioned 2 injury prone players that will play one match in a season and spend the rest of the season on a wheelchair.
Like I said earlier, football is a team game. Relying on a player to carry the team and later blaming the player when the whole team is Shyte is hypocrisy.
Liverpool had Suarez but he couldn't win them the league despite scoring goals. Why? Because he was surrounded with Shyte players. He went to Barca where world class players existed and won everything. Why couldn't he win the world cup? Why Messi couldn't win the world cup? Because these guys were surrounded by Shyte players in their national team. Look at France, look at Belgium.
Y'all keep scapegoating a player that has been on the bench for the entire season instead of looking at the real problem.
Edit
Someone said Ozil is easily targeted In matches, why is that? It's simple: he is the only one that can produce what a top class player would. Instead of his fellow teammates to protect him, nah. Those ones go dey do their normal rubbish for pitch.
Why did Germany crash out of the world cup? Kroos was always targeted and marked out in the games, and Khedira and the likes offered him no protection.

What exactly are you saying? So many incorrect statement in one post.


Carzola was voted Arsenal's best Arsenal player in his first season at Arsenal. He didn't start getting injured until 2015. So how you came to the conclusion that he plays one match and gets injured the next match baffles me.( If still in doubt, Google search Santi Carzola and read about his Arsenal career)

You talk about football being a team sport but we've seen where Messi jogs on the touch line and Diego Simeone starts feeling uneasy knowing fully well the havoc the little argentine would wreak should his team not close the game before he comes on. And sure messi did turned the game around.

I really need to understand your drift about world class player and all....because I can't point out to any world class player in Leicester prior to them winning the league. We saw Mahrez fight.and win balls even against big 4. Yet our own ozil won't ever contest the ball when it's in mid air.


Ozil may be an intelligent player who knows when to nick a pass for an offensive player to make a run, but just like the guy said unfortunately ozil can't adapt to the modern day number 10 role. Nobody has time to be protecting you up the pitch. You've seen David Sylva play under PEP, the once skinny guy now tackles viciously. You won't catch him strolling on the pitch.

When defending ozil offers nothing. Even dem.Wilshere trumps him on that. The truth is in modern day football you will always need to defend. Even if you are number 1 and your opponent is committed to relegation zone there are times you need to defend and at times like that ozil is practically useless. I've seen him used his eyes to mark an opposing player without moving from one spot and it vexes my soul.

Make una no carry politics scatter this place now. Please visit the politics section and settle ur political differences

Tho am one of his critics , I must confess guendouzi has been awesome in this match

Goooooaaaallllll

And one person was saying iwobi can take anybody on one on one....just look at the Rubbish he did in the box

MrDojo:
The old man starts

Aswear I just weak. I was hoping to see jekinson starting. I just hope dem no retire that old man today o

Fkhalifa:
Let's agree the defense is bad and worst in the league.but our attackers supposed to do a Liverpool of SAS's season by scoring gallons of goals, we should be winning like a 5 -4 or loosing like a 4-3.
Then it will be clear defense is the Major and only problem,but for now, distorted defence,lack of width and teams structure are the matters to tackle.

Bros current Arsenal is averaging 2.08 per games, Liverpool 2.29 goals per game and Man city 2.62 goals per game. The attackers are not doing bad compared to their contemporaries. This is a fact. It already clear defense is the major problem. What other pointers do you want?

I think I understand your football school of thought; it is hinged on out scoring your opponents right ? The Liverpool of Suarez era practised this and it still didn’t get them the league they so much desired. Now look at the current Liverpool team with a strong defence see what they are doing. You see if you will be considered a title contender there are matches that will go beyond outscoring ur opponents, rather it’s not conceding that will be ur headache ( and this is what the present arsenal has been unable to do)

MrDojo:
Arsenal's stats against the big 6 this season (all comp)


Conceded 6 goals against Liverpool (2 games)
Conceded 5 goals against United (2 games), one more game left.
Conceded 4 goals against Spurs (2 games), one more game left.
Conceded 4 goals against Chelsea (2 games).
Conceded 2 gaols against City (1 game), one more game left.

My people, is our defense not wonderful

I don’t think we conceded 4 against Chelsea. It was 3 actually.

Although it still doesn’t mean we weren’t woeful. The thing dey vex person to see that even Cardiff that is number 2 on the table of least scoring sides got one past our defence . Even Cardiff number 3 on that same table got three past us on two legs FFS! And we will now say our defence is decent, it’s just injury....

MrDojo:
I agree with some parts of your point, but I totally disagree about the quality aspect.

Although long term partnerships can help a defense, if the players are shit, it will only make things worse. Even if we say they lack understanding because of injuries, the individual errors made my the defenders are shocking. Errors you will never expect from a Pro playing in a 'big' club.

If you watch teams like Burnley, Brighton, and Newcastle, you'll see how difficult it is to break them down. Unlike those teams, Arsenal's defense welcomes everybody. To the extent that if you do not score against Arsenal, your attackers have a big problem

Oil dey your head. You can’t pin those school boy errors made by mustafi, baba etc on the attackers lailai. Even Socratis is not a good marker like that , except for his jam body style when he’s on the run with an opposing player, but when faced one on one with an attacker he usually misjudge

patrickmuf:
I won't argue further, just watch Man City and the contribution of their attack and midfield in defending and compare it to Arsenal.
Football has gone past forwards scoring and that's why at some point, Pep demanded more from Kun Aguero.
Let's just end it here...

Any team coached by pep has this same philosophy. It's either u blend or make way for others to come on board.

Why not use any other team not coached by him as an example? We saw a defensively solid athletico win the Spanish league. Do you belive an Athletico Madrid koke and Co would have won the league with mustafi, Sokratis, Bellerin and monreal/Kolasinaic playing as back 4

patrickmuf:
First of all, understand that Banega cannot do it all alone.
Talking about Arsenal, someone here pointed out that one of the problem with your team is over reliance on the fullbacks to provide width leaving the CBs exposed during counters so before having a go at the defense, imagine what the situation will be if you guys had proper wingers doing their jobs and your fullbacks defending and only attacking when necessary.

Are you kidding me? Have u not seen man city using walker and Mendy(for the games he's played) provide width for the team? Have you not seen Liverpool's fullback make the ball enjoyable for the front men?

Aside that, at a particular point played 3 centre backs and two fullbacks who doubled as wing back, yet we still conceded those matches and even didn't win the first half after conceding early, do you still think the 3 man CB was unable to ward off attack because others won't join defence?

The truth is : if you are to judge on facts on ground, our attackers have a job to do which is to score as many goals as possible and they've racked in 50 goals after 24 games which places them on a joint No.3 spot of highest scoring side in the league with Tottenham, while our defence has job of warding off attacks and preventing goals; a job they've not excelled at going having conceded 33 goals which is even higher than Newcastle's that is number 14 on the log.

Like seriously?

Fkhalifa:
I meant Liverpool's attack of 2013/2014 season was surprisingly good, it was their attack (mainly wingers) they conceded goals but outscore opposition, they scored average of 3+ goals against everyone including the big4, it was only mouriho's bus that stopped them.

They didn't lose the league because of defence, Gerard's back pass against Chelsea and a shocking upset at selhus park gave city the league.
Klopp came in,sold Suarez, coutinho and dead woods, last season was very good for them with mane,firminho and sallah,but they were still very good..

Our present attack won't get us to what the Liverpool of 2014 got to nor of 2018..

Also I don't understand how midfield play looks,top teams nowadays play from the wings mainly.

Lastly,haven known the current financial situation at Arsenal, yes I'll take carrasco and perisic.

I'll instruct bellerin and Monreal to focus primarily on defence before over laping , also koosc,mustf,sokrt and holding to avoid high line.
Without injury or any ish, I expect that squad to compete for the league and be up there, whatever then happens I'll look to strengthen in subsequent Sumners.

So you think Bellerin poses more threat playing on the defensive compared to when he goes forward? I disagree with that.

I've watched Bellerin play for few seasons now and I observed when on the defensive he's not as good as he is when offensive. In fact, of the top 4 or 5 teams competing with Arsenal for a top 4 spot, Bellerin is playing defensively can match any of the players in that same position. Is it Azpilicuelta or Valencia he can claim to be more defensiveinded than or Walker or this liverpool boy? If you will be truthful with yourself, you will admit whether playing on the offensive or defensive any of those mentioned will trump Bellerin hands down in that position he plays. That boils down to the quality of the player which someone pointed out already.

patrickmuf:
I can't go further, bar Burnley game where Jones decided to do vintage Jones, you could that we have given up much less chances to our opponents.
When talking about attack, you will agree that PSG have a more fearsome attack than Liverpool but you can't compare the work the both attackers put in. Messi doesn't mark, others in their attack do little to help out defensively and their midfield is not so good bar Banega so you might need to look beyond names, football is a team game.

So do we now say messi goes to the back, collects the ball from the defenders and dazzles his way from the back into the opponent's goal of when you Claim Argentina's midfield does practically nothing?

Screenshot below is the player ratings Nigeria vs Argentina at the world cup from skysports. Messi was rated 8 for a suberb performance, same as Ever Banega. In fact the two were the only players rated that high on the pitch and you think their midfield does little or nothing?

Wait, truthfully if you are appointed Arsenal today and you need to get good reslts ASAP, would you rather overhaul the back line on replace the Frontline with dribbling wingers partnering the existing attackers. Assuming these are the two options opened to you?

patrickmuf:
I have no doubt that Arsenal's defense is weak but you can't talk about the defense without mentioning the attack and midfield, In my team, Manchester United, we start defending from the front (Rashford and Lingard) in midfield, we have Matic and Herrera battling for every ball...This line of defense helps protect our defense.
If you look at Arsenal, you'd see the lingering deficiency right from the attack, where only Lacazette bothers to defend, in midfield, only Torreira fights for every ball, Guendouzi is trying but he is still young...Check out that Pogba's burst for our 3rd goal in the FA cup and you'll realize how a passive midfield exposes a team.

Look at Pool, their defense have much less to deal with in a game compared to the other teams though they have some very good defenders but their work is made easier by the pressing of the forwards and midfield.

Someone already pointed it out to you that despite Argentina having messi, dybala, higuain, icardi and the rest upfront ready to punish you, people still attack Argentina.

As for man utd attackers being the first set of players in the line of defence, it hasn't helped man utd keep opposing attackers at bay going the number of goals conceded already. Without prejudice you know a defence that has an aging Ashley young, and Valencia, a lindelof still adjusting to the game injury prone Jones and an Eric Bailey not at his best has been the reason you conceded some goals, and not because Rashford, Herrera, Martial, Sanchez, etc did not do enough
