MSGAMBLE9: Well it is okay and acceptable if that striker is playing for less ambitious side not looking to be Anything or going Nowhere....not a team been chased by the Unrelenting City...
Imagine what a well taken shot on his favorite foot would have done to Kops morale yesterday. If he had been through on goal and he fired blank like Torres at Chelsea was doing then , I certainly won’t have any problem calling for his head . I am not against arsenal getting another striker o, but any world class striker we get can as well balloon that ball as well. There are rarely any striker out there that scores every pass that comes to their feet . |

Ballzproblem2: glad I did not take side , my instinct kept telling me to wait.
The idiot don gain public sympathy finish only to reveal his true colors I don’t even understand the guy sef . A case that was taken to court and had witnesses attesting to the fact that he’s a wife beater . The wife had church members who were always there for her when he beat her up . He’s now trying to rewrite the story .smh He’s only angry with the fact that his career went downhill after the divorce. Some of his colleagues too know he has anger issues . I no dey side with men like that at all. |

Itsrm: This here is funny
"Imported Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) was fed into the bottom of the flare to provide fuel, to light the flare instead of the normal flue gas produced from the refinery."
We will see how long they can keep up with the lies They don’t need to lie na, they have already leave an escape route for what is to come na. If u noticed prior to this period all we heard was that the refinery will be completed this December . Now we are in the end of December and they are claiming to have concluded “mechanical completion “ . That’s a joker they have carefully planned to be spinned by their minions online in the coming months . They will start insulting ur intelligence and asking u what u know about refinery operations ? They will ask u if u don’t know that after mechanical completion testing , flushing , equipment calibration etc will still be done ? . Na wetin dem go spin till like forever be that . They are just bunch of dishonest people who are just incapable of telling the truth no matter how simple the truth is . U will begin to wonder if anybody put gun to the head of Heineken Lokpobiri before he started promising December that was not feasible in the first place |

The sources and top industry players told LEADERSHIP Sunday that the Port Harcourt refinery was not yet completed.
On Thursday, in a brief ceremony at the refinery, Lokpobiri had announced the “mechanical completion” and the “flare start-off” of the country’s biggest crude refinery during a media tour of the Port Harcourt refinery.
He said: “Just to announce to Nigerians the fulfillment of our pledge to bring on stream phase one of the Port Harcourt refinery by the end of 2023 and the subsequent streaming of phase two in 2024. We happily announced the mechanical completion and the flare start-off on the 20th of December 2023.”
The source said: “Imported Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) was fed into the bottom of the flare to provide fuel, to light the flare instead of the normal flue gas produced from the refinery.
“This action allowed a picture of the flare to be taken, pretending that the refinery had started operations. The picture was taken within a few minutes. The flare was shut down immediately after. The rehabilitation work was not completed! That cannot happen in the foreseeable future.”
Another top official of NNPCL in the refinery told LEADERSHIP Sunday: “The Port Harcourt refinery cannot make any products in the foreseeable future, because the units cannot take in crude oil for processing. The rehabilitation work has NOT been completed. The federal government and NNPC know this truth but will not admit it publicly. In fact, no crude oil has been supplied to the refinery to date, for the same reason.”
Another senior official said: “Look at the flare! Look at the crude cargo! Look at the inspection visits! All meaningless.” Fear who no fear APC government propaganda machinery 😲 https://www.nairaland.com/7948093/port-harcourt-refinery-not-fullyEven me me wey no be engineer , with the little time I’ve spent in the oil and gas industry I know say the completion of the refinery is audio and it won’t start producing ASAP . Yet APC propaganda on steroids had people jubilating on Twitter . But if u talk , dem go say person no like good news. Smh 🤦♂️ |

MSGAMBLE9: Talking about being clinical, did you notice how Jesus blast that lay-off from Nelli in the first half like nothing is at stake... that should have been 2-0 cos he has grounds on VVD.
Even Jesus is not all that. Any striker not named Jesus can blast that ball off as well, especially when u are playing a tensed match like that in a tensed atmosphere like Anfield |

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 |
