I'm surprised that we have forgotten that Teinery has been playing this rille in many matches with 20 mins to go to build his understanding of the role and do far was effective.
He even provided the assist for saka and one one other preaasist for another player.
You guys should calm down.
If you didn't give Kwior chance that's how we would be playing rob holding.
Teinery should play it instead of veira.

Nobody said Viera should play that role . What spy said is that Xhaka play Zinchenko’s role while Viera plays Xhaka’s current role in the set up.

Personally I’m not impressed by Viera and would prefer to see Smith-Rowe play Xhaka’s current role advanced up the pitch while Xhaka play Zinchenko’s cos that was what he was playing while Arteta was still testing the current formation before Zinchencko arrived

Lol same winning tactics that got us drawing soton, westham, almost lost to bornemouth
We needed change since teams found us out, look at apari now using plan c formation
Our coach is predictable period
Zinchenko shouldn't be starting games immediately after that LFC match
Alaye have totally forgotten his primary duty

Which teams found us out ? Bournemouth and Southampton ?

Bournemouth scored almost after kickoff , Southampton was almost same . Once u concede from kickoff the game becomes difficult , almost all of ur tactics becomes usless cos u begin to chase the game . We all agreed that Zinchencko was shiit in that Southampton game and some other senior players like Partey and Ramsdale too were culpable in the game . Na coach tell Ramsdale to play ball give opponent ? Is it the coach’s tactics that will prevent that ?

The west ham game was no different . Zinchencko gets caught napping and we found ourselves in danger .

At what point do we call a spade a spade and see that at times games just won’t go ur way even if u use all the tactics in the whole world ?

We’ve not even had this much point in the league as far back as 2008. So if u are a coach u will yank off Zinchencko who has been getting accolades all season long because he had a stinker versus Loserpool ? Just like that ?

What do u think happens to the rest of the team ? What do u think happens to their confidence ? Why do u think Arteta when asked out Saka penalty miss said he will even go throw the ball to saka if he hesitates to take the next one? He knows man management requires much more than just punishing a player who had a bad game .

iamoyindamola:
Yes this is the best time to change as we have been grinding wins and draws
Zinny injury might be a blessing as our coach no get plan b

Wetin arsenal fans want gangan ?

This formation Arsenal is currently playing is not even Arteta’s plan A when he joined arsenal . Arsenal has played different formations under Arteta , we’ve played 3-4-3, 4-3-3 , etc . In fact that 2020 FA cup final , i remember it was 3-4-3 we played .

This arsenal side Arteta took over has played different pattern so much that it looked like he was using the team to learn how to manage( Lije teaching practice ) .

Thus far it appears this current formation has been the most succesful/result oriented since Arteta took over going by the number of points we’ve amassed using this current system .

The question now is; what formation/system would u want him to change to going forward ?

I will gladly take Cancelo as my RB Aswear 🙇‍♂️

Ben white can go back to playing CB .

Thank you

Good for him. He betrayed his people for the Afonjas.

Ibime:
The informant is not clean himself. He was involved in the bunkering

I know na, but the way the journalist didn't leave his identity to imagination ehn.... If the guy gets sentenced along with the other criminals, there are chances they will have him murdered in prison. If he gets to walk free, other criminals in the ring who were not arrested at the scene will seek him out and end him.

The informant don price.

Spy360:
Zinchenko's absence may affect us because of the tactics we play. I hope Tierney can play that inverted midfield role or else, Xhaka will have to drop into midfield.

I don't think Arteta trusts Tear-knee in that role, neither do I. Xhaka will most likely be dropping to the middle and back to the left. Xhaka will not be playing that advance role till the end of season be that

afrodoc2:
That informant is one man that must japa by force. That journalist just marked him for death.

As in... He's a dead man walking on the streets.

GloriousGbola:
It is another unique Nigerian problem. What I call local govt thinking. Though it really is across all spheres. It is the reason why the first response to any situation is to ban ban ban. It has always been like that. Situations that are complex and require deep analysis so there is a proper solution - fk that. We are ACTION people not English speakers and we will do it now now!

And as I had said in a previous discussion - our security guys seem to be at the bottom of the iq barrel. Their only answer to any challenge is to kill it.

Sometimes I don't think it's about low iQ, but the need to cover up corruption. I see this particular case as that of criminals stealing from criminals and covering up evidence.

It's obvious the facility existed in the first place with the aid of security operatives who had gone rouge and helping themselves get rich. Now the security/soldiers who busted them obviously helped themselves to some of the bounty which won't make it to the news. Most likely In order to cover up their own crime, they set the place on fire while being reported as the hero in the news.

later the army will claim they 'destroyed' the diesel

Two disturbig things about this news:

1. The news piece gave a vivid description of the identity of the informant thereby putting his life at serious risk. It's more like the author of the news article wants the criminals behind the bunkering know with certainty the person who ratted them out.

2. The army has added to the problem of environmental degradation by setting fire to the facility. Like is there no other way to stop the operation of the illegal facility other thansetting fire to the place and releasing dangerous chemicals into the atmosphere?

can't say the same for other states, especially the ones down north.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wetin be this again ?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I no know oh

But I am sure it would be PDP, if the NW is aggrieved, dem go likely go poach the person from there just to spite BAT

Make APC thread cautiously on this matter[/color]

The Oppsition candidate cannot become SP with just NW APC senator votes and PDP alone . In fact, there’s no assurance that all NW APC senators agree with Yari’s call to arms .

I don’t think the kind of game Saraki played in Buhari’s first term can be played by Yari and his gang .

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Lol

NW have the numbers and they can just easily vote the opposition-backed candidate and Akpabio will lose.

Akeredolu's message yesterday was insulting,IMO

Making it sound like the NW was inconsequential to the victory

Remove the whole votes from the SS, and BAT might most likely still be first[/color]

Who is the opposition backed candidate sef ? What geo political zone is he or she from ?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Any party that wins has the liberty to structure their seats how they like.

If to say Atiku win, i am sure we won't be talking about who ruled last or not.

I am not making a case for the NW. But dismissing them from the SP position because of any reason is funny.

If they want to beg them, they should beg them to go 4th. But according to results, nothing gives SS an edge over NW or NC[/color]

Nobody needs to beg anybody. The party that won the election has communicated which zones they believe deserve the 4 key positions in the National Assembly .

If the north west entourage feel they deserve better than what’s being handed to them, they should either carry out a palace coup or follow the advise of Buhari ; “Losers should go to court” 🌚

Unlimited22:
Lol
I have been trying not to talk about this since I saw it on Twitter

Someone that should be in jail

I won’t lie ; anytime I see Orji Uzor Kalu on TV I dey always vex 😡. People wey supposed dey jail plenty for this country

Subsidy removal with this current level of inflation? Just kuku kill us.

When I see how people struggle to survive with fuel at #184 per liter , I can’t even imagine the chaos that will happen with fuel selling as high as #750 per liter .

Some people can’t even afford to pay 10k to have themselves treated by Neighborhood nurses for typhoid . How people like that wan take survive life after subsidy removal ? 🤦‍♂️

Heaven is far from these people

The compensation which includes houses in Lagos and Abuja in choice areas and six cars every three years is not a big deal.

man is just talking gibberish . At least Lagos state house of assembly has repealed the law.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]You are speaking from the stables equity, which i have not disputed.

But in terms of merit, the SS does not even come close. List all the states in the SS and tell me how many APC won. Let us not even get started with the margin of votes.
E o
If we want to make the NW understand that they should go 4th, nothing is bad

But they deserve to produce SP. It is what it is.[/color]

APC won the same number of states in both south south and Northwest . The Speaker seat is enough compensation for North west considering they just finished 8 years presidency . Make dem allow other geo-political zones take key positions too.

They’ve shown us their best hands . Let them
Allow others too show us their best hands;
Say dem get population no mean say others with less population are useless.

liveLongNprospa:
Lmaooo the party that has empowered this foolishness should deal with it


Any small thing the "North will..." oya do your worst

I don’t think they will have their way on this one. They should allow us hear word . No be only them dey this country .

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Akpabio can be the SP because of history and inclusiveness, but to be honest, the NW deserve that too.

They contributed more to APC victory compared to the SS

I was surprised Akeredolu was bashing them[/color]

The northwest just finshed 8 years of presidency na , Haba ! Immediately they want number 3 man position already .We have 6 Geopolitical zones na.

They should make do with the number 4
Man position Abeg ! They should take the speaker position and respect themselves . South south also delivered for APC victory .

This one wey this man dey talk walahi talahi... .Wetin the north want gan gan?

Most of our state governors deserve nothing but pains and sorrows.

And they are the same people behind the call for subsidy removal so they can have more money to spend. Bunch of wicked people .

afrodoc2:
Your last statement settles it. They are not independent and their rulings are based either on the highest power or the highest bidder. Their decisions are political decisions not legal decisions and they hand down phantom justice.

For clarification, does that No3 point make sense to you?
A judge criticising the EFCC for not arresting the respondent FIRST, and applying for warrant later.
LMAO.

The only good points he made (in a sane society) were that the EFCC did not show him enough reason to believe their case had merit, and to a lesser extent that they didn’t give enough identification to specify the Godwin Emefiele they wanted.
Although one can then ask if he wasn’t sure of the Emefiele involved why then was he referencing seeing him on TV with the President, but that would be petty. Lol

That judge was focused more on staying out of trouble than delivering justice.

The third point actually doesn’t make sense outside Nigerian political environment . It sounded more like a judge is encouraging illegality . I had to read it over and over again . The point the man made there doesn’t align with his conclusion at the end of the paragraph .

The man probably has children in Private universities and abroad whom he intends to see through school before leaving active service . He just use style wash him hand off case wey fit end him career

afrodoc2:
The judge made a good point in his No1 point abd the first part of the No2 point, however the second point of the No2 point and the no3 point do not seem reasonable.

So the court wants the EFCC to arrest Emefiele BEFORE applying for arrest warrant.

Miracle no dey tire Jesus. Imagine the EFCC that used to carry out illegal and irregular arrests now decided to be law-abiding and get a warrant first, and the judge is castigating them for it.

And what concerns the boss of the respondent with the application for the arrest warrant?
So if the boss of the respondent I.e the President does not approve the application the judge can’t follow the law? I thought the judges were meant to be independent and there was meant to be a separation of powers?

This is just a case of a “shaky shaky daddy” judge who believes there are sacred cows and who didn’t want to step on toes.

The judge saw it as a case of two arms of the executive fighting without involving their boss ( Buhari ) and somehow they want the judiciary arm of government to take sides.

The apparent danger in it for the judge is that he doesn’t know who Buhari will be backing between DSS and CBN. The Judge still remembered how Onnoghen left unceremoniously, how apartments of justices were raided by same DSS.

So I’m thinking the judge just needed to play that card to let both parties and their boss know he’s not taking any sides for now. If u ask me , I think he made the right decision cos days after Emefiele was seen going around with army convoy to ward off any planned DSS arrest .

Nigerian judges are not independent .

monerozi5590:
Court saying DSS want to use them as a cover for irregular procedure off me walahi. Smart people many for Nigeria sha.

That's because DSS should've either obtained permission to arrest Emefiele from their boss and Emefiele's boss(Buhari) or share substantial evidence with the judge that would've made the judge grant the arrest warrant without waiting for Buhari's consent/permision.

Na DSS mess that one up

monerozi5590:
Our corrupt politicians are leveraging the system ( judicial system). The EFCC sees it as an obstacle in their path but this is democracy, order and rule of law must be followed.

DSS went to court for arrest warrant on Emifiele, the court refused to grant their prayers.

That’s because the DSS was fooolish and incompetent in the process of applying for the arrest warrant . The judge explained his reason for denying Emefiele’s arrest warrant below

Itsrm:
How exactly is he going to prove it? We know that is truly the case but how will it be proven in court

Why are u giving urself headache that belongs to the paid lawyers?

it was this same thread we read that Adeleke's case has no merit and that his lawyers were in court to troll, yet Adeleke and his "troll" lawyers won the case eventually.

Let's wait and see how the lawyers of LP,APC,PDP and INEC will argue in court and the decision of the judges. We can learn a thing or two from it.

GloriousGbola:
Hmm. So where do we put a fellow like Buba Marwa in that case?

Buba Marwa did not leave administration and started contesting for political posts whereby he will owe so many people Favours along the line. I know he’s a card carrying member of APC , but he didn’t contest for the presidency like Ribadu did nor become a governor like a Oshiomole.

If he did, he will be owing so many people favours when he got the NDLEA job and he will be having to look away when those people need to step on the law to do their thing. That’s why he’s able to stead on anybody’s toes without caring whose ox is gored .
