Yes... He is grabbing the opportunity with all he has.
A very proactive boy.

I still don't want to see him in midfield. He is at his best when he is facing the game (like VVD).
The last time he played in midfield, he was losing possessions.

The second leg against Newcastle is in two weeks time if I'm correct. Hopefully we will have players back for that match.

The boy ehn…. See as he Carry Sarr like pikin 😂

Anytime I see Gabriel playing well and getting deserved recognition, I'm always glad I defended his purchase back then we were discussing Attack vs Defence . The way Kokane dey rubbish am that year ehn.....one would've thought Gabriel is as calamitous as Mustafi and Sokratis ni.

I'm very happy Gabriel has turned out to be one of the best CBs in the league. Nowadays even when Saliba is caught napping, Gabriel is always there to help him keep the backline safe

Why Ibime swallow P like this ?

I like the guy. Baba collect yellow card and started laughing... The way he was rallying up the fans when he was sub off eh... And the fans were responding.

I hope Arteta continue to help him develop in that LB. Moving him to midfield is a big No for me

Calafiori's injury is a big blessing to this Skelly boy and he's not joking with the opportunity at all. The fact that he's endearing himself to the fans already will make him really settle well into becoming a player the fans love.

It is surprising that the club is not even thinking of sending him on loan but giving him a shot at competing with first team players in a big club like Arsenal.

With time he might get moved to midfield, but that will be dependent on what becomes of our Carabao cup journey after the second league vs Newcastle

what a wickedness!
Porro was lucky yesterday. He survived a potential muscle tear (thigh), harmstring injury, knee snap and ankle sprain.
Trossard is wicked abeg.

That is what we expect from Martinelli and not just relying on his pace every now and then. Martinelli is slowly turning into Man Utd's Valencia whom we nicknamed "One-Way" back then because of how predictable his wing play was. Every defender that faces him knows he just wants to try and outpace u and cross the ball into the box. He's never going to dribble and cut the ball indside to his weaker foot.

Trossard being able to use both legs to take shots is a big big plus and will always make it easy for him to end players' careers with those kinds of embarrassing dribbles.

Imagine both Ben White and Skelly on the pitch riling opponents off

It will be total fun to watch both trouble makers do their thing at the same time

Dem say Palmer just Dey update him CV steady , if company like make dem no make profit at the end of the accounting year

I think it's because he is of Irish descent but then look at grealish
We are just fortunate with Rice

That Graelish na king of Shaku shaku. I just thank God we never thought of signing him back then when he flattering to deceive at Aston Villa.

Watching the highlights again
Rice, how many lungs does this guy have
I never rated him when he was in West Ham or when we wanted to buy him cause I feel he will fade away like every white English players but this guy is a perfect box to box
His ability to also read game is brilliant, In the closing minutes he noticed partey is getting tired, he dropped deeper to help
He also form formidable partner with MLS

Halleluyah to the Lord for opening ur spiritual eyes to see

Oya help me tell Koded to also drop that line of thought that Rice is not better than Elneny

On a serious note, Rice plays really well more than a typical English player and he can run ehn

In Case You Missed It : Yesternight Trossard dribble Pedro Porro to injury 😎

akpi has real fans ooo......as for his bail fee,many notable Nigerians will pay it off for him.

Which real fans? Do u know since when I've been following Akpi on IG?

I've been following him on IG long before he even got popular, back then when he was on the same cadre with Vic O. I've watched his shows back then in America when he was still living inside his benz , playing at night clubs in front of empty chairs. That was long before he even came to Nigeria and linked up with dem Kogbagidi, Zlatan and co.

Even when he came to Nigeria , he's been playing at lounges looking like beer parlor here and there.

Shey na that person get real fans? How many of his shows u know person wey don go before? Most people just get amused listening to his song because of the comic relief his song brings and that's that.

I raise u that if Akpi organizes a concert and Odumeje organizes a concert in the same city, Odumeje will sold out while Akpi will nearly beg people with his show ticket.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Person wey dey organize show of 4000 naira ticket.

Four four kpa, four kpa

I wonder how e go take raise him bail funds.[/color]

In fact, I wonder how he will pay his lawyers who have been helping him to write petition since. It's not even like he has real fans who will donate massively for him. Most of the fans he has are just people who are amused by his trolling music career.

Even if they win the civil case against IGP , before they get compensation from FG sfe Akpi fit don turn grandfather

Akpi that is always performing empty chairs

We have seen both Trossard and Martinelli playing in advanced positions and yet nothing happened.

It's easy to mention names but when they are given the opportunity they mess up.

Last night people were calling for Martinelli to replace Sterling. But when Arteta did that, Martinelli came out even worse.

I have already accepted that Havertz misses chances. But that's because he finds himself in those positions. Another player will not miss a chance because he won't get into position.

I agree Havertz should improve his goals record, but I cannot call him worst signing when currently he is the top scorer in a team that is second in the PL. Last season he was second top.

For me that cannot be too bad.

I saw your defense of Arteta with Roland, you're not applying the same principle with Havertz.

Are you sure you're not being emotional about this because of popular opinion?

A player who was brought in to sort our goals problem but has consistently messed up chances after chances is not worst signing; if he's not , then who is ?

Popular opinion as how? I watch Havertz every week in Arsenal colors , I do not only watch the matches live but also watch replays when SuperSports show replay few days after the match. Havertz was poor at Chelsea and still poor at Arsenal. Most of the goals he scores for us , Nketiah would score them and even more without us having to pay him huge salaries.

I say Havertz is our worst signing because we signed a player that misses chances more than he scores for 65 million and earns almost 300k as weekly salary ; making him the highest paid player at Arsenal. I know you like Havertz(for reasons best known to you) , but those of us who are not emotionally attached to him just have to say things the way they are; Havertz joining us did not improve our team as it should.

I hope the club signs another frontman and give such player chance, u will see how much Havertz's signing has drawn us back.

He is not the one mainly with the responsibility to score goals. In false 9 system it is the inverted wingers that have that as their main responsibility. The main role of the false 9 is to create the space and overloads. Of course he should score when he has the chance and he does and in fact is our leading scorer but that's not his main role. It is similar to saying Odegaard has less goals than Trossard or Martinelli. Doesn't make sense to castigate him.

I agree he needs to improve his finishing because he gets into the position but saying it's his main role is false.

I know what a false 9 is and I know what the role of a false 9 is. If u are being honest with urself , u will know that Havertz plays is more advanced than the normal traditional false 9.

Havertz’s role is more advanced than what Fabregas played for Spain when they had Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets in midfield and he had to play false 9.

Most of our chances fall to Havertz after Saka and or Martinelli must have done their part in taking out one or two defenders . Havertz somehow always fails to convert those chances ; this is a regular occurrence in his game and not just a one-off thing .

This happens in almost all the games he plays for us; for every goal he scores he would’ve missed 2 or more . We all know if Saka, Martinelli , Odegaard or Trossard were to be playing in that his advanced role they would have more goals than he does . Converting few out of the numerous chances that drops at his feet doesn’t make him a good signing at all.

We really need to get busy in the transfer market . A striker and a proper winger will not be bad at all.

2-1 it ends !

North London Forever !

Gabriel should be man of the match .

Trossard would’ve scored that counter if he was in the same position Martinelli was

Skelly nice one .

Do them dirty ! They’re dirty spuds , awon egbe aladiye

Why is Odegaard playing rubbish now ? 🤦‍♂️

Gabriel senior player ! 🫡

Havertz just seem to have a way of being at the end of any ball that spoil 🤦‍♂️

Na rubbish Partey play for that side sha

Na overconfidence go later kill our players . See them playing like they are leading 10-0

He removed sterling 🤣🤣🤣
Blueraydick what more do you need to accept arteta hand picked kaikai

I don’t recall arguing he didn’t recommend Havertz’s signing .

This their keeper confidence don deflate 😂

Martinelli 100meters senior boys sprinter don enter 😁

Stupiiiid Sterling and Fooolish Havertz .

Enfant Terrible 🤦‍♂️

Skelly playing well

Saliba is getting too overconfident o

With the way Havertz Dey miss ball , he will soon foul a player while struggling to trap the ball . Arteta better take him off now
