You missed out the other miss by our world class striker Jackson in the second half.

Just a question, can a player like Jackson improve his goalscoring ability to like Tammy Abraham's level?

Jodera:
For that Havertz first goal, Cucu should be ashamed of himself. Havertz wey anybody wey near am, him go fall naim carry Cucurella run for outside 18, enter inside box while holding him off as if he's some kind of prime Etoo.
Lmaooo

If we continue in this form, it'll be really disheartening and disappointing if we don't end up with the league. I'll be angry, not with the boys and MA but that the teams that's truly the best didn't actually win it.

Chaii, I'll be sad

Spy360:
We have a scored 104goals already this season. More than Man City with Haaland, and Liverpool with Nunes or whoever. So how would we convince the owners that we need a striker. What would be his job? Score goals?

I have stated here times without number (but you guys are not humble enough to give me my flowers ) that as far as Arteta's tactics is concerned, he does not need a traditional striker. That the reason is because whoever is playing front is only acting as a decoy. He is actually an AM. He prefers a multiple outlet for goals than a single one. That is why despite scoring 100+ goals, no one has scored a hat trick this season.

When I had that argument with Jodera about Gabriel Jesus not playing as a striker he thought I was silly. You know a striker from his movements and positioning. Kai Havertz is another perfect example of an AM playing as a striker, someone who can drop deep to overload the middle. These are Arteta's tactics this season and it has worked tremendously well for him.

See, any time Arteta goes for a striker which is possible just know that he wants to change tactics (or perhaps have an alternative tactics) to what we are currently playing. But as far as this tactics is concerned, we don't need a traditional goal scorer. We only need players who can drop deep from attacking position.

Jodera:
Yesterday's game was really a game of boys Vs Men. It would have easily have ended 10-0 if we were that ruthless in first half the way we are in the second.

It's also a game of two "Havertz". First half Havertz was the worst I've ever watched from him as a CF (even in his Chelsea days). He was so poor that I was literally screaming my lungs out.
MA must have told him something heading into the second half cos at least his decision making was better. And that goal, o my, I would never have ever imagined he would score that type of goal. Kudos to him and shame on Cucurella.

I've never enjoyed a game as good as ystdy all thanks to Partey. My goodness, so this is what Man pikin dey miss since : Partey—Rice combo. Chaiii!!!
Abeg, even if na to sign Partey younger brother, make we go look for am. We deserve to watch Partey and Rice together, I don't care if it's not a Thomas. Can't believe when we have a perfect Midfield partner for him that when he's leaving. I'm sure even Odegaard would be counting his(Partey) days cos na Odegaard deh really benefit from am well.
Hopefully he starts against Tottenham..

The loss to Aston Villa is really bad. We have the goal difference, have the confidence and looks like we can go all the way yet the league is not even in our hands. They say anyone who wins the league rightly deserves it cos the table don't lie but there's a feeling that if man city goes on to win it, then the table is truly lying especially if we continue with this our form. We deserve to win this league this season (as long as this form continues) and I just hope that the god of soccer looks our way cos we truly deserve it.

Tottenham next. They're fully rested for 10 days and would be relishing the prospect of denting our title challenge. A win is a must for us and hopefully we get it.

And Martinelli... Two glorious chances missed. Anyways Trossard have already taken his spot.

Ice cold Trossard!!!!


Upward and Onwards


COYG!!!!

You reminded me of jabbing
The way he celebrated like it’s normal thing against this team ;Deven Arteta shock

Shegzdave:
Ordegarrd is who He think He is
His assists yesterday were sexy and the casual way white finishes the ball for the fifth goal was super sexy

popizaino:

Be like na him get alakala itrsm suppose experience yesterday

popizaino:
Let give it a time frame from when your club last lifted the EPL 2004 and list our all the best state university.

rooftops:
I just watched the highlights now, Omo problem dey pass as we dey think o.
Arsenal just stroll while scoring, no much effort.
Just look at the second goal from the corner, we had no player screening the box, saka had like two options to pass to

popizaino:

Haven't watched it but the rating make sense

GloriousGbola:
He forced a standoff between efcc and police.

This has never happened before and will set anothet precedent if not tackled.

My govt goons vs your govt goons.

Bello miscalculated spectacularly when he pulled this stunt.

GloriousGbola:
Normal thing na.

Have you forgotten the saga of delta 15 million usd?

Nuhu Ribadu is a Chad.

Man looked at 15m usd in cash and said no.

Itsrm:
To sleep or watch the match should be an easy decision for anyone to make after seeing the lineup.

A centre back pairing of Bastard and Disaster has never worked against less potent teams. Why will anyone not POCH think it will work against Arsenal

raumdeuter:
57 Most goals conceded by Chelsea in a league season

The sad part is there are still 6 games to go

So let me ask again where is the bigger problem Attack or Defence

enigma0:
No, it was years back and still one of the best state uni

Itsrm:
Just waking up to see the scoreline. No surprises.

The resounding defeat was obvious from the lineup.

popizaino:
Dey shine useless teeth there.

Hope you lift this trophy 🏆 at the end of the season?

Griffon:
Outscore your opponents

BlueMann:
The possibility of Europe only remains because the people above us have managed to match us in uselessness. The season is over for me.

For next season, I just pray for the injury prone ones like James, Nkunku, Lavia, Colwill and Fofana to receive divine healing.

I pray again for Reece to become fit. I need to enjoy King James again, as my love for the club and the game has suffered since he became a practicing physician.

I pray for Enzo to return to the Enzo of River, Benfica and Argentina, or even the Enzo from the second half of last season; the one that finished second in the club's POTS voting despite arriving in January.

I pray for new, quality defenders (who are not slow physically and mentally, and do not make mistakes for a living), and quality attackers, especially ones that do not have comedy as a hobby.

And I pray for a new, quality coach that will not play Chilwell and Maatsen as wingers when actual wingers are there, that will not bench Maatsen for a centre back at left back, that will not have Enzo leading a press while Gallagher is running Helter skelter and Caicedo is relieving Omah Lay's album title in midfield.

I pray for this club to return to the pedestal where it should be, instead of dragging position with the West Hams and the Wolves of this world.

All these I ask through Christ our Lord (Amen!)
