Kimbeast:
You don't need to lie just to defend Arteta tactics today.


All your matches last season was interesting. The community shield and the reverse fixture was also good because Arsenal didn't respect city and went for it unlike today.

Community shield: possession was 55% to city and 45% to Arsenal. Passes were 590 to City and 485 to Arsenal.

First leg: Possession was 49% to Arsenal and 51% to City. Passes were 500 to Arsenal and 521 to city.

Today fixture: Possession was 73% to City and 27% to Arsenal. Passes were 700 to City and 265 to Arsenal.

That says it all. Be happy with your point but don't act like Arteta didn't change his whole approach for today fixture.

This is Arsenal vs Man city FA cup 2020

U obviously don't know Arteta enough . U can obviously see the passes and possession Abi ?

Some of u ehn, na only chelsea match una dey watch and one or two star matches .

As far as I'm concerned , Arteta only resorted to a tactic that has earned him a victory against Pep in the past . No more , no less

Kimbeast:
This is the reason I said you Arsenal fans are just being defensive for no reason. To us neutrals the Koko is an attacking game of football which we didn't get thanks to Arteta Cowardice. The game was a borefest. No one said you shouldn't be happy with your point so don't tell us not to be disappointed with that eyesore.

Arteta won the 2020 FA cup playing a 5 man defence against cheslea . U clearly don't know Arteta can play ultra defence and ultra defence spending on the quality of players at his disposal , quality of his opponent ,response to his opponent's tactics and the prestige at stake .

For a long time arsenal just won 2 and drew 1 out of 3 consecutive games against city . U may not see the bigger picture from where I stand but Arteta does and that's all that matter . All those cap about cowardice rest and abide with thee

People that want to cry will always cry . On both legs Arsenal never came out tops on possession but had more shots on target.

Because arsenal no open yansh as usual to ship in goals now don turn wahala again.

If una team don meet Guardiola's city , make una follow am play the yori-yori football una dey crave .

If una don collect una respective UEFA coaching license , make una go all out to face a gun blazing Guardiola team gunning for league title .

Una go learn the hard way like verydarkman for detention . 😏

iamoyindamola:
Them create 2 big chances but nothing came out of it
Even kdb lost for match but but arsenal park bus
As we no be man u way chop 3 for house and 3 for road na

It must be ment.

The fact that Arteta didn't allow them have chance to gloat over Arsenal losing to his former boss dey make dem cry .

We took 4 points out of possible 6 ; that's enough for me. Anybody wey wan die fit die .

iamoyindamola:
Did Raya even make any saves
Opelope Ake that the ball touched his shoulder to give city shot on target
Naso city for go 90mins without shot on target

This bus parking favour arsenal 🤣🤣

U dey mind people wey dey monitor live scores ?

If u ask them which shot dem see any Man city attacker play wey our keeper save, dem go begin foam for mouth like people wey get epilepsy

raumdeuter:
When Pep played Chelsea how many shot on target did City get

10 shots on target to Chelsea's 9.

Instead make dem buy defenders , na to outscore opponents be their million dollar strategy

iamoyindamola:
Saliba do him own pass am to gabu
Same thing they did to Toney
Na fight end the 2

I just love how Gabriel dey frustrate Halland still dey trash talk am join. He never lost focus for once .

Sportsweb:
The bus no be here. They got outplayed and dominated, werey de squeeze Arteta name with Pep

The joke is on u. Pep team had one shot on target to Arteta's two .

One person come to score and win, the other came to pass and pass and pass .

Apata piti !

Halland saw them and cried

Roland17:
Pesin go dey prepare to watch match but once I look line up see Mustafi, you don already give opponent 1 goal up.

I don't even borther watching any Arsenal vs traditional top 4 cos I know they will just mess things up at the back somehow.

As much as this match is a draw and we lost 2 points, it feels so good seeing that we could hold a power packed city attack to a stalemate

Because Arsenal no parade David Luiz and Mustafi wey go do assist for opponent una dey cry

Spy360:
Arteta clearly showed disappointment on Trossard because of that poor decision. Trossard will enjoy bench for some more time despite being good scoring goals.

Yes , I like that immediate reaction from Arteta . Trossard should know better .

There's no way such weak shot will beat the keeper at that distance ; he should know when to pass and when to take shot at goal . He just ruined a chance to bury the game with that nonsense he played there

I just love how Arteta and his boys neutralized the threats of Doku and Graelish on the wings.

Arteta is doing better than he used to . He now responds to his opposition's tactics man for man

Roland17:
You mean the one that was chased by his own fans in Germany?

Schalke fans still dey look for the werey

Baba , any day I enter Germany ehn, I will order one full crate of egg and locate Mustafi family house to throw my own egg for those years of misery

Halland wan cry blood

God bless Arteta for sorting our defensive issues with Gabriel and Saliba .

Anytime I remember say Mustafi and Papasthapopulous once played as our CB partnership , I go just feel like crying 😭

Arteta should sun Saka Abeg

iamoyindamola:
Gabu should still stay

So who will Martinelli now come in for ?

We need Partey for Jorginho , Tomiyasu for Kiwior and a Martinelli for Jesus ASAP

Spy360:
Who gave him that name

I miss Martinelli.

When he drimble Dalot and score u no vex for am o

Saka no even commot dressing room at all 🤦‍♂️. He no just dey this game

Kiwior reaction to ball is just too slow for my likening

Roland17:
Except we are planning to wrestle possession, Jorg is going to need to a lot of help covering spaces.

Jesus will need to fall back to assist them in defence

Why is kiwior getting sloppy ?

Jesus starts at LW.

raumdeuter:
When I think of Arsenal defence in the days of Mustafi this is the image that comes to my mind first. Before game settle down Arsenal would be down already even from seemingly tame attacks

The season you signed Gabriel and Saliba there was an immediate improvement all round

Imagine two center backs lying on the floor while an attacker waltz through the 18 yard box 🤦‍♂️

raumdeuter:
See wetin Saliba and Gabriel did to Arsenal I will say these duo were the most important Arteta signings

Arsenal does not have a reliable striker and they are competing

Once upon a time we were parading the clowns Mustafi and Papasthapopulous . No matter how the attack struggle upfront , Mustafi will find a way to undo their work either causing a penalty or getting turned inside out by Zaha 🥵.

The importance of defence cannot be overemphasized .

No point in continuing this argument.

Faac is at an all time high and they are still borrowing like their lift depends on it

Good! At least u see that the Benue state governor is building and a commissioning a tennis court out of borrowed funds

Sportsweb:
I have come to conclusion the team needs balance. Disaster and Badashile are dunce. Those boys will relegate any team with their atrocious defending.

But I still think we need striker more. I'm tired of Michael Jackson and madueke Dem.

Airmark is right

Timbros was right too

Shebi we dey tell u before , u dey do strong head .

This was the US navy wasting scarce resources during ww2

On ice cream of all things

Apparently this was a Great morale booster.

Even as things dey you still knock back a few bottles over the weekend. You may as forgo all recreational activities and just be sour and grumpy all the time

False equivalence .

The state of Benue is battling serious insecurity and the governor himslef confirmed at least 8 LGA 's are at the forefront of insecurity issue in the state .

Commissioning a tennis court under this present circumstance is just a case of misplaced priority . Between me and u, the amount expended on construction and commissioning of the tennis court can buy at least 2 patrol van for the state security agency to at least provide usable information for police , army and other federal security agencies .

People commend Amotekun in other parts of South west and LSNC in Lagos for their ancillary services to the security agencies . The respective governors invest in them. Nothing concern Benue state with a recreational tennis court at this point while people are scattered in IDP camps all over the state .

The excuse that the governor doesn't want to go outside his budget doesn't even make sense because most of the state budgets in Nigeria are financed by borrowings sef.

GloriousGbola:
And who said it was a priority? No matter how bad or hard things are you still need to make out time for some mundane activities. At the very least let people experience the semblance of happy life, even only for an hour

Na people wey dey alive or don chop dey think about recreational activities. That's just the governor wasting the state's scarce resources with a smug on his face .
