Roland17: Help me ask him who is England’s player of the year for 2 consecutive years. E be like say the 20 years the guy talk say he don dey watch arsenal , na mistake . Most likely he meant 20 days . Saka that has not had one bad season ever since he made first team . Saka wey we dey complain make Arteta dey try rest small. I just weak for that guy . If a winger scores, crest chances for others and still tracks back and u are not impressed ; what then will impress u? He’s the first person I will see that despises saka whether as an arsenal fan or an opposition fan |

Hausa: Vini and Rodrygo all had models to help them become the force they are now. Go figure. Are you not surprised that up till now, Saka and Martinelli are still not a force to reckon with in epl and World football? How come? Vini and Rodrygo are not just forces to reckon with in Laliga, but in ucl and World football in general.
I hope you play football very well to understand my point. It'll be very difficult to understand sometimes if you've not really played football to a certain level. Oya explain how a player that is not a force to reckon with in EPL was deservedly included in the EPL team of the year last season . Explain how a player who is not a force to reckon with starts for England in the Euros and World Cup . Did u start watching arsenal this night because all these ur cap seem to be premised on Saka’s average showing and Martinelli subpar performance this night only . |

Jodera: One thing I'm thankful for in this Liverpool team is that they no longer have Mane, Salah and Firmino partnership. This Liverpool attack is very very subpar compared to those trio(imagine only one clear chance Salah had and he scored )
With the big chances, Mistakes in our dangerous zone in our half and half chances we gave them today, we for collect like 3-1 or 4-1 at least.
Those guys really gave me pstd!! Mane would’ve roasted White since na  |

Hausa: Interesting. You use stats to judge your players as opposed to what you watch on the pitch? Which stats ? Everybody who knows about football knows Saka has been the best thing to happen to arsenal in recent times His fellow players , club legends , rival fans and even the premier league officials have nothing both word of admiration for him. Na only u I don see dey cap careless say he’s the worst winger u’ve watched play for Arsenal .  |

Hausa: While I made an oversight, I meant wingers.
And yes, since I was talking about Wingers, Saka and Martinelli are amongst our major problems in attack. Then add Odegaard - who's supposed to be our chief influencer but doesn't influence games at all. Odegaard doesn’t influence games and he made last year’s EPL team of the season ? U sure say na Arsenal of london u dey support and not Arsenal Tula of Russsia ?

Hausa: It's actually an oversight. It was supposed to be wingers.
Saka and Martinelli are Wingers. And it is the both of them and not just Martinelli alone. Attached is Last Year’s official PFA EPL team of the year . Guess what ? Saka had 25 Goal/Assist contribution out of 88 goals we scored , e did that as a winger to earn a place on that team. Do u know more than the PFA or what exactly ? Or u no just like Saka ?

daveP: What's annoying me is he's giving extra work to Rice as a result. Infact Gabby too being dragged out. An experienced manager and winner of UCL nights will be smiling so bad anticipating us meeting one night all because of Zinny and White.
😤😤 Baba no be only u . I just dey vex especially as it concerns Rice. I hope Rice won’t burn out before Timber and Tomiyasu come back due to the triple work White and Zinchencko are giving him. |

daveP: He did his consistency in nonsense again 7times tonight.
If we want to win these titles we better get a natural and ruthless lb and let this overconfident dispossession guy to move into midfield abeg.
One is all it takes to make a good tactical setup to go down the drain. Yet Zinny did 7!!!!!
Does Arteta shout at this guy atall? We need divine intervention in that LB because almost all opposition managers will be instructing their team to attack that Zinchencko side anytime he’s on the pitch |

Unlimited22: My mouth was open in confusion.
This dude watched Nicklas Bendtner, Marouane Chamakh, Lucas Pérez, Yaya Sanogo and Ainsley Maitland-Niles, and he's saying Saka and Martinelli are the worst Attackers he's seen? Two of the most sought after attackers in the league for that matter . Blud said he’s not carried away with their goals and assists  . I guess players like Lord Bendtner and Sir No Goal are the kind of attackers that impress him. Smh . |

Hausa: As a Gunner, I'm not sure if I'm the only one worried about our attackers, saka and Martinelli. Then add Odegaard to the mix. They're just too poor for my liking. Yes, every player tends to have off days, but the off days of saka, Martinelli and Odegaard are so much that it tends to be covered up by the better displays of Declan Rice, and the rest of the defenders on the pitch.
I said before that saka and Martinelli are not Special Talents. If you see a Special Talent, you'll know. The problem with the both of them, including Odegaard is that because they have no models, they're unlikely to develop more than they already have. I will never get carried away by the goals they score because, no. They're not DEVELOPING.
Compare with Fabregas, who had a lot of models around him (Henry, Bergkamp, Pires, Viera, Edu, Kanu, Campbell, Toure, Hleb, Rosicky, Diaby, Adebayor, Gilberto, Ljungberg, etc), it was easy for him to raise his game and also learn from the best. Who and who would I consider models where saka and Martinelly can raise their game and learn from? There's literally know one. That way, you can see that years have gone by and there's nothing like GAME PLAY IMPROVEMENT in saka and Martinelli. We might want to say, "oh, they scored 15 goals a season." Yes, they did. After that, there's nothing else to show in their game. It becomes a cause for concern because you genuinely wonder where these attackers can take us.
I was under the impression Trossard was better than Martinelli and saka, but the lack of models in the team means he's struggled to even replicate the game play he brought from Brighton, and has struggled to even raise his game.
I've been a Gunner for more than 20 years and I can tell you for free that saka and Martinelli might be scoring goals and giving assists, but they're the worst attackers we've had since I started following Arsenal. I hope I'm NOT the only one paying keen attention. This na long 🧢, big okpata yarns . If u want to lash out at Marzinelli for his Abysmal performance , feel free to do that but don’t disrespect Saka with this kind yarns . U admit an attacker is giving returns of goals and assists and yet u claim he’s the worst attacker u’ve seen playing for arsenal ….. smh . I guess Lacazette, Joel Campbell and dem Chamakh are ur best arsenal attackers shebi ? I don’t even think u read what u posted before posting it |

Roland17: Who else if not Zinchenko? I hope that guy won’t be the end of us this season . Should we not just sign a new LB this January instead of waiting till forever for Timber and Tomiyasu to come back ? |
