You stat merchants no go kill person.

Drogba that has statue at Emirates stadium that's who you're comparing to Isak.

Just look at the big chances missed alone that should tell you who was getting the better quality of chances in their respective teams.

If not Chelsea gidigbo system and semi Haram ball. Isak has missed 2.5x the big chances Drogba did his whole career. That should tell you all you need to know.

It’s not about stat merchant. We all watched Drogba play ; at least right from when he got to Chelsea till he went to Galatasary .

You are the one who claimed he’s skillful and asked that we mention other skillful players around currently . When we mentioned skillful strikers , u turned back to start talking about goals .

Now I’m telling u that the same Isak u are painting as mediocre has a better goal per game ratio than Drogba . How do u want to measure that if u don’t check the goals scored and the number of games it took both players to score those goals ? Don’t even forget Isak is playing in a lesser quality team than one in which Drogba played and under a lesser quality manager when compared to the coaches Drogba played under .

It’s nostalgia that is making u think retired strikers are the best while the current strikers are no good

airmark:
Nothing like moving on from using a striker, Spain were not stupid by taking two strikers to the Euros despite their average qualities.

Spain were drawing the match until a striker scored the winner for them where it mattered most - final.

😂😂😂😂

Wait fess! Are u saying with ur full chest that Oyarzabal is one of the “quality strikers “ u’ve been talking about all day long ?

Are u sure u know who Oyarzabal is or because u saw google sports put “striker “ in front of his name in the screenshot u uploaded, u decided to use it to score a point ?

Because u are the same person who said Diaz is not a striker o but a winger drafted in to replace the wasteful Nunez . U need to think carefully to answer this o

A40:
Isak is not Drogba level. Speaks to overall mediocrity of strikers and ball today that we are wowed by Isak, he's good too make no mistake about it but camaan

What do u mean by Isak is not on Drogba’s level ?

Isak has a better goals per match ratio than Drogba . Isak has a better shooting accuracy when compared to Drogba’s and that is according to EPL official stats , not “Trust me bro , I no fit lie give you “ .

I think some of these hype we give retired players are just out of nostalgia and nothing else .

A40:
None of these jokers you mentioned are at Drogba level tekkers wise, never mind the likes of Eto'o and a David Villa.

Watkins

You guys should be serious abeg

Baba go to YouTube and type Isak skills or Luis Diaz skills , u will see video compilation of those players doing all sorts of skills .

I watched the Drogba video u dropped and Drogba didn’t do anything spectacular that has not been seen before . Most of the things he did , a playful player like Neymar did over and over again: most people even criticized Neymar as being too playful for doing all that .

Blueeeeeeeee


Smalll smalll now... Ahannn


Look face.

Me? I never ever said that. You're mistaking me for the person that actually said that.

Look face!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


On the reiterating side, for that my post you're reacting to. Take am jeje. It's not an attack on Rice. It is me saying he gets to do double or triple work whenever the whole team messes up.


Clear now?

No vex , it was koded that actually said that . I mixed u two up ni.

U are right , Rice played his heart out . Partey also played rubbish in his preferred Midfield role which we’ve all been clamouring for Arteta to return him there .

One thing with our fans is that we all have faves ;when our faves don’t play well we go silent and don’t say anything . But when a player we don’t like but others like plays badly , all hell will let loose .

Overall sha , I know when the team is on a winning streak everybody cheer the team and don’t remember the lesser quality bench and useless players in the starting lineup . The moment we hit a brick stone , Arsenal fans will join fans of other clubs to troll their own club. This I always find amusing

daveP:
Chai.


It's like it's written in the stars, all the terrible games Arsenal had in last 2 years, na Rice go end up being the best Arsenal player. Na Law at this rate.

U still have an agenda against Rice 🤦‍♂️

I mean u literally said Rice is not better than Elneny the other day . But as u watch this match , Shey na Rice be the problem Abi other players ?

What was Rice supposed to do that he didn’t do well in this match ?

airmark:
Ofcourse there would be few exceptions.

My point is nothing like moving on from using top strikers by the big teams. It's dearth of quality strikers forcing teams to improvise.

Arsenal fir example need a natural striker, that's why you have been pretenders since.

So Spain winning the EUROs is also part of the few exception Abi ? Humour me , who was Spain’s quality striker when they won the last EUROs versus England that fielded Harry Kane ?

So spain EUROS win is an exception , Madrid UCL is an exception ,Man City EPL win is an exception and Loserpool EPL win is also an exception .

Wehdone Sir!

daveP:
Even when he plays terribly, you'll still see fans reviling those that want to drag him. You'll think he was an Aubameyang or some Giroud sef.

When did he okay terribly and his fans defended him ?

Show an instance here let’s see first . I’ve not seen anybody defending him when he played badly here to the best of my knowledge .

daveP:
He get supporters here well. Asif its forbidden to call his game out. Ive gotten used to him disappearing in games this season sha.

No u are mixing things up .

Nobody supported his purchase .

But when he became an Arsenal player , fans had to support him like every other Arsenal player . When he plays well he gets his deserved credit and when he doesn’t he gets the stick .

Blaming him for games other didn’t perform is also not ideal .

Odegaard that should be our midfield creator also played rubbish in this match . He didn’t create anything through the middle and we had to rely on the out of form Trossard and all speed no brain Martinelli on the wings .

daveP:
He has no reason being at this club too

We all agree on that . I don’t think any fan here celebrated his signing

This Havertz has no reason to be in this match till now .

This Skelly is a stupid boy doing nonsense and forcing the ball with his yeye overconfidence .

You see Newcastle playing like thugs and u are still trying to use strength against them

folake4u:
Lmao 🤣

Newcastle didn't come to pick beans today.

Just one goal will disrupt their defensive set up

Jesus has started his own nonsense ; looking for yeye foul up and down

swiz123:
BlueRayDick

You go suffer today

Second leg Dey na

iamoyindamola:
For st. James abi 🤣

No be grass Dey their field ? 🥵

Why can’t these guys just play a ball inside the net ? Why are they miscuing unnecessarily ?

Just look at Rice too

Trossard alabode! Gerrout of here !

Havertz lose free header. SMH

We are not even marking them with the kind of aggressiveness they are meting out to us . We are just too soft on the ball

iamoyindamola:
Match ti pari

There’s second leg na 😂

Even Odegaard is just playing nonsense too. He keeps forgetting the ball behind him with sloppy touches .

daveP:
Consistency. It's not in this team right now. We don't score freekicks lately. Commentator talk am too. Unlike dem Cazorla sanchez era that once ball land for that zone, person for don dey jubilate cos 8/10 assurance say e go enter. We don't have such assurance currently. If ability dey e never reach that level to become something we prep towards.

How many free kick did Carzola score in an Arsenal shirt ? It’s because Carzola scored free kick in one or two important matches that’s why u think he cored gazillion of free kicks .

We don’t score free kicks because our current pattern doesn’t rely on that. We would rather lob the ball for our CB’s to contest and put at the back of the net once the free kick is not too close to the post .

Trosaard and Odegaard are good free kick specialists . The fact that Odegaard didn’t score this one doesn’t mean he can’t score another one

daveP:
For now, na only Gordon Trossard dey outdo for their beef. Anything else he no put body in it.

Was Kai in this 1st half atall?

Trossard is playing like Sterling

daveP:
We go get 25yrd freekick and mind go just cut you cos yunno nobody dey this squad with that bend it in ability or consistency.

Make una stop this things jare . The same Odegaard has scored that kinda free kick before , I think it was vs Watford.

That he didn’t score it today doesn’t mean he can’t score it . Haba !

Once Arsenal is a goal behind una go just Dey reason una team less less .

This Skelly boy should stop this nonsense overconfidence abeg . He will soon cost us and the ref won’t blow a foul on him by those thugs

We might just have to take Trossard off for Jesus cos he’s just playing rubbish today

Nonsense complacent defense .

daveP:
Ill praise him. That was a. Flash of the Martinelli we know. At least he didn't fall pr play it to the GK.

Besides, the shooting tonight and the abandoning of the usual possession football is cool. I no understand Trossard again.

Martinelli actually tried for the effort , just that a goal would’ve crowned his efforts .

As for Trossard, I don’t even know if it’s a mental block for him

Saliba senior player

What is wrong with Trossard? 🤦‍♂️
