I acknowledged the lack of creativity. That's the take away from the game. I just highlighted that a 9 would have shadowed the lack of that if we had one. Why? Because a proper 9, if they had the big chances wasted by those two clowns, we would be happy we won and also admitting we lacked creativity but a 9 helped to soften that. Arteta sometimes acts like he doesn't know when to go crude and when to stay smooth and sleek. It's annoying. If we went the Burnley long balls way at some point, we for see something from it. But...

Stubborn Mikel

I doubt we would've gotten anything out of the game if we had gone the way of Burnley-Long-Balls like u suggested.

I already pointed it out that the way Atalanta was set up would make it almost impossible for us to outwit them with long balls. They had 3 CB's and 2 WB's. Two of the CB's will be on whoever we are loading the ball to while the 3rd CB will be on standby to win second ball.

If any other pattern would've worked, it's definitely not the Burnley-Long-Ball tactics.

I watched that Raya save again this morning and the only thing I can say is that Raya definitely has a spring somewhere in his body. Like that's the only explanation to how he saved the rebound from that penalty.

A second after Raya saved the initial penalty kick, he was lying on the left-hand side of the post. The penalty taker had enough time to pick the opposite direction to nod the ball into the net while he (Raya) was still sprawled on the floor; but somehow Raya was up again to save the ball for the second time within seconds. It was so unreal.

Raya seem to be on a mission to prove Areta right for dropping Ramsdale for him.

Arteta is so afraid of losing that he is now adopting a very defensive approach against any decent side. It's only a matter of time before the fans begin to voice their concerns. Havertz should play upfront while Jesus drops deep and play as the AMF if he doesn't trust Nwaneri while Martinelli should settle for a bench role as he is out of form.

In attack, I think Saka should step up; he should transform into a modern-day winger with the propensity to drift into the AMF space and create chances rather than stay outside for the most part. I think that's one limitation in his game he needs to sort out.

This is just my honest take as a football fan.

Saka has already transformed into a modern day winger if the description u put up there is a what a modern day winger is.

If u watch Arsenal games well enough, u would've see Saka drift into AM role when the need arises. He does this quite often with Odegaard setting him up; in fact such drifting has seen him score goals sending the goalkeeper sprawling anytime he takes that position.

Yesterday was a bad day in the office for all the attack players, not just Saka alone. The Catalyst in the attack (Odegaard) was missing and the manager is yet to come up with a solution to that problem upfront.

Doing this to your own player…it’s just disingenuous

I wonder how people like that enjoy watching their team play. Because u don’t like a player , u see everything negative in what he does .

How has the chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission turned her role into that of a crime news reporter?

And coincidentally the it's only crimes committed by South Easterners that she reports...safe to say they're the only Nigerian criminals in diaspora

Government officials that can't be professional enough to hide their bias... It's a policy from the very top sha, that much is clear.

But the woman in the news is actually a criminal na. I don’t think Abike was wrong writing about a criminal arrested due to the work put in by her commission.

There’s no need to read any meaning into her post at all. A criminal is a criminal.

Abike may have her numerous issues, but in this one I don’t see what she’s done wrong .

Enough of this drama already ! 🤦‍♂️

As a final consumer I don’t give any 4cks about whether it’s imported PMS or locally refined PMS I use.

All we want is to be able to buy PMS at the cheapest rate without having to stay on queue for 5 hours.

If Tinubu had sense , he would’ve sacked this Kyari even before he sacked Emefiele . But then one is not surprised , Kyari is incompetent and so is Tinubu the minister for petroleum .

As for Dangote , we all know he’s looking for a monopoly with all these shalaye he’s doing up and down. He wants a monopoly that doesn’t look like monopoly in the outside but if u look deeply u will see that’s what he’s yearning for.

This talk of Good and bad fuel is dead on arrival Jor. Was Dangote not using the so called bad fuel for years in his business and personal life prior to the commencement of local refining? He should cut the bullshiit, we all know its monopoly he wants.

As for those who say he won’t be the only local refiner so there won’t be monopoly , you clearly don’t know enough about marketing. He’s the first entrant into the market and will be the market leader for years before any other local refiner goes live. He would’ve kept huge chunk of the market to himself so even when the market moves from monopoly to oligopoly , he will still be in a very advantaged position.

I'm getting tired of predicting my teams outcomes. I really am. Chai.

This is a loss imo. Raya is the difference with that double saves.
It is discourteous to not reward such a GK with a W or a goal at least. That's the appreciation such heroics deserves. Unfortunately, the personnel lacks any bite to make any unique difference on the night that champions are born, reborn, and grow up under.

Mikel Mourinho himself 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️
For the sake of this UCL format can't he just get a striker?

We have 3 spots with loops. A temporary fix with his long balls approach is to get a 9. That way, it shadows any loops from midfield. We will also win PK. In this team, I can't even point to 1 that will win pk easily for us. Not that nonsense Saka did last season.

Anyway, City up next. Oh my days!!

Yesterday’s match was not drawn because of lack of 9, it was drawn because we lacked a creative player in the middle of the park.

Playing long balls would’ve achieved nothing yesterday if we had a 9. Atalanta clearly played 3 CB’s and 2 Wing backs ; if we had resorted to long balls they will just have 2 CB’s always contesting long balls with our 9 and will have an extra player to always win the second ball off that challenge.

One thing I agree with u is that yesterday’s draw was Arteta’s fault 100% . He knows we lacked our creative player in Odegaard, there’s no justification for Martinelli playing 90 minutes doing nothing tangible attack-wise. Toward should’ve come on earlier for him while we still have Saka on the pitch . Havertz too was just conceding needless fouls all over the pitch while he’s being ineffective as a midfield . Arteta as the coach should’ve had solutions to these issues .

Absolute nonsense from Arteta . 😡
Only God knows why Martinelli and Havertz played 90 minutes for God’s sake !

God supposed punish martinelli specially 🤦‍♂️

Arteta please remove Jesus and Martinelli . Those two foools just Dey occupy space doing nothing

Rays Omo weyrey

Double save for Raya

Partey has gifted them a penalty 🤦‍♂️

Martinelli still playing rubbish since start of season .

Odegaard is highly missed.

Jesus just dey overdo shakushaku.

We just need to break these guys however we want to do it .

Jesus is back

Rice is back

Havertz shifted to midfield .

Kolasinac the mechanic will be facing Saka on the other end of the pitch .

Another opportunity for Martinelli to redeem himself .

Truecaller is not very strong on iPhone

You are very collect on this. Most times true caller will not even display identity of who is calling except you miss the call, copy the number, search for it in Truecaller app , watch an ad video before they now show you the identity of the caller.

I used to think I'm the only one experiencing that.

Anytime I see unknown number calling during non-work hours, I will miss the first call , check the number on the true caller app before deciding to call the person back or ignore.

Na lie
I no they post nudes

The one saved on that special folder on ur phone nko ?

andrewbaba44:
I get he has struggled ,Other big strikers do struggles also but na only Haaland dem Dey call out ,even Kane Dey ghost big games self

The problem here is that you read his post with pre-conceived notion in mind.

His initial post he made mention of Haaland ghosting against teams with a strong defence. He referenced yesterday's game and drew inference from it that Haaland will most likely struggle against Arsenal (Another team he has struggled to impress against in their last 3 meetings due to how good their defense is).

What he said was actually not out of place.

iamoyindamola:
I will soon borrow money and ditch the SIM to show them I am not big

Dem go embarrass u by sending ur pictures and details to ur contacts on WhatsApp 😂.

They’ve actually done it to people I know before . Dem fit even post person’s picture in form of obituary . Those people are wild

Shegzdave:
The other guy that said Arsenal will bear the brunt like Arsenal is Fulham or Ipswich town

Probably they are reminiscing about the Mustafi, David Luiz and Sokratis days.

Saliba has been keeping Haaland inside his back pocket for their past 3 meetings now.

iamoyindamola:
But I don't borrow money and these assholes call me morning to night everyday encouraging me to take loan
I have considered suing them

Somebody u know most likely borrowed and they harvested ur contact from them.

andrewbaba44:
Lautaro Martinez is also one of the best strikers in the world ,what did he do yesterday ?

Mbappe also ghost at big games at times ,even Harry Kane wey we no see for bernabeu last season but a certain joselu winning the game for Madrid

England played at 2 euros finals and we didn’t see Harry Kane o

These things do happens abeg ,if we check well Haaland don score against all epl big boys within 2 seasons

The guy is actually not wrong , Haaland has struggled in the past 3 matches he's played against arsenal. Starting from the 2023 Community shield 2023, Arsenal v Man city (Home) and Arsenal v Man city(Away) in the 2023/2024 season.

He is not saying anything new.

Anyone who follows tech news will understand why there are issues with app permissions

Any device you have that is connected to the Internet is spying on you and uploading your data for sale to advertisers

You do not know what is bundled with your pc

That is why we have the term phone home

Huawei was put together by a Chinese military engineer. Every international Chinese business is tied to their government.

It is not conjecture to say that as far as communications go, if the Chinese wanted to they could completely shut Nigeria down.

Na why Opay , Fairmoney and all those soft loan apps always have access to their debtor's contact details and start spamming them with threatening calls and text messages.

Even all these smartphones we use literally track your data and footprint on the internet. If u search for an item on ur broswer on Jumia, the next time u open Facebook, Twitter, IG and TikTok ; algorithm will start pushing ads about that product or its close substitutes into ur timeline.

The one that gets crazy is when u discuss a particular product with ur friend verbally, the next time u are on the internet u will start seeing that product anywhere u turn on the internet. It gives the impression that ur phone is literally listening on ur conversation and mining the data for God-knows-who.

This is already the world we live in today and like said ; it's not anything new.

Hezbollah fall the collective hands of all Hezbollans worldwide with the way they fell for the so-called rudimentary tactics of the Israelis., and fell again a couple of days later.

Fool Hezbollah once, shame on you. Fool Hezbollah twice, shame on Hezbollah.

Since 3 to 4 days ago, na quotable quotes we just Dey read from the Hezbollans , Hams-ians and Jihadists . It is clear the Israelis really rattled them from top to bottom .

Like raumdeuter like dipo

Na u talk that one o, no be me o .

TBT 2015.

Dr. Dipo don get corn for him pocket for a long time ; no be today !

Same person supported Buhari’s disastrous 8 years , same person is still standing on BAT’s hardship mandate .

There’s a pattern here.

“This government has demonstrated responsible leadership by allowing freedom of expression and will continue to do so.Harnessing the power of social media for national develop-ment involves leveraging social media platforms to promote economic growth, improve governance, enhance civic engagement, and foster societal progress.

🤦‍♂️

Wonders shall never end !

A party that gained power in 2015 due to propaganda spread all over the social media space thinks it should be worshipped and praised for allowing freedom of expression .

So anybody not praising this useless government and their hardship inducing “reforms” is an enemy of the state right ?

Pain went straight to Thierry’s heart 😂

The AR-924 pagers used by Israel in a terror attack that left thousands of casualties in Lebanon on 17 September were manufactured by BAC Consulting KFT, a shell company based in the Hungarian capital of Budapest, according to a statement released by Gold Apollo, a Taiwanese firm that authorized the use of its brand on the pagers.

“According to the cooperation agreement, we authorize BAC to use our brand trademark for product sales in designated regions, but the design and manufacturing of the products are solely the responsibility of BAC,” the statement read.

Gold Apollo’s chair, Hsu Ching-Kuang, told journalists Wednesday that his firm inked the licensing agreement with BAC three years ago.

“The product was not ours. It was only that it had our brand on it,” the Taiwanese businessman told reporters. “We are a responsible company. This is very embarrassing.”

BAC Consulting KFT was registered in May 2022 as a limited liability company, according to company records reviewed by AP. Per the report, the Hungarian company has 7,840 euros in standing capital and had revenue of $725,768 in 2022 and $593,972 in 2023.

The company’s headquarters is located in a residential neighborhood of Budapest. Journalists who visited the building on Wednesday reported seeing the names of multiple companies, including BAC Consulting, “posted on pieces of paper on a window.”

An unnamed woman confirmed to the reporters that the building “provides headquarters addresses to various companies.”

Israel really run these people streetz . All of these just shows Hezbollah is not all that ; despite the fact that most of their sympathizers think highly of them.

I come Dey pity the Taiwanese company who sold their franchise to a shell company without knowing mossad was behind the company .

Everyone caught up in this is either an agent of Hezbollah or an unfortunate who intercepted hardware and converted to personal use (phones and laptops)

I read that they did the same thing with stuxnet - as in they choreographed the response.

Because this is what it is

My main network goes down so I switch to the backup. Backup goes down so I switch to the next back up.

This is like a malicious hacker who releases ransomware on your main pc, with payloads in each of your backups so you are 101% screwed

Mossad has tagged and identified and infiltrated each back up system.

But Hezbollah literally has no choice.

Can you imagine completely losing your phone and being stranded?

Communications is critical in warfare.

As regards the bold, I won’t put it past the Jews .

Even since I read “90 minutes at Entebee “ , I know the mossad always plan their missions carefully well and they rehearse every possible outcome.
