There are players who ESR is better than but they get called up. I am not against his decision but it has to be fair.
I think u are being overly emotional as an Arsenal fan on this.
See all the midfielders called up to the national team for this November below, I strongly believe Everyone here deserves the call-up.

Most of the players listed as midfielders either are got on the list either because they are already part of the squad before now or players like Bellingham that is equally enjoying the form of his life presently like Smith-Rowe.

Abeg make Smith-Rowe still dey U-21 like the rest of dem Callagher and Guehi for now. They will all have their chance, national team no dey run go anywhere

As we approach January, I think Balogun needs to be sent out on loan probably to a Championship club. He has outgrown the U23s and needs to kick-start a real Pro career.
Auba will be going for AFCON in January, I don't know if it will be wise letting Balogun go except we are planning to sign at least two strikers o

Gareth Southgate: “Emile Smith Rowe, Conor Gallagher and Marc Guehi are playing very well for their clubs but we have depth.”

This is laughable. Why not call up ESR if Bellingham was called up.
I tí k he made a good point in that particular press conference. He said something about the senior national team having fast tracked the absorption of a lot of young talent in the last one year or two ( and this includes our own Saka); players that should still be playing for the U-21 national team. It is only normal they allow dem Smith-Rowe, Gallagher etc still remain in the U-21 to make the u-21 stronger instead of saturation the national team with so many young talents when they have enough already in the current squad.

I don't see anything wrong in this decision at all. The likes of Saka, and the rest of youngies tthey took to the EUROs should still enjoy the NT for now.

Good evening foodies.

....so I watched a video on IG some time back; it's a video of a woman blending her placenta and drinking it as smoothie. To be sincere, I was disgusted sad

Mothers here, did you eat your placenta? Are there any true health benefits? I'm confused
Ewwwww! Reading this sef without watching the said video dey turn my belle embarassed

I can't speak for other cultures, but according to Yoruba culture which I'm more familiar with, placenta in itself is not regarded as a good thing. In fact it's expected to be buried the very day a child is birthed. This is to ensure the child doesn’t encounter misfortune/evil when he grows. When a child is wayward as he grows , some elders allude it’s because his or placenta was not properly disposed of at birth.

I once read in Newspaper of some Asians who eat placenta and they claim its proteinous . Some even claim it is capable of healing ailments like Asthma and the likes.

As for me ehn, any protein that is not from cow meat, goat meat, chicken , fish , and egg is a NO for me .

Arsenal player for the month for a October polling is out already..

Ramsdale
Gabriel
Smith-Rowe
Aubameyang
.
Prior to the Leicester match I would've gladly tipped Gabriel to pick the player of the month, but now I have no choice other than to acknowledge how Ramsdale has been the bigger man got us in back line and at the most important times in the course October.

Ramsdale Don try abeg! Smith-Rowe also had good run of games, but not so much individual performances like Ramsdale.

Nope, Zidane succeeded at a backstabbing club where every player is out for his own interest. Players like Gareth Bale always beefing with him and putting out their own narratives.

How did Hazard play with his heart to give Zidane La Liga title? Hazard played with his stomach

This is my stand on arteta, he has shown not to be the right man IMO
The ESR saga last season and the change of tactics but i hope and pray he prove me me wrong
For someone who hasn't coached even academy players as head coach prior to getting the arsenal job, u should know most of the things he will do will be experiments, trial and error etc.

If he learns from his mistakes, he may get better with time. Only time will tell sha.

Of recent we’ve been done dirty by unfair officiating. The saka incident vs Palace was just last week, then Auba's own vs Leicester.

One thing I'm happy about is that our players have Learnt to live with it instead of grumbling and complaining to ref's that don't listen.

In the past we've seen our players complaining about a foul while the opponents pick up the ball and score us in the process.

Why I'm not convinced by Arteta.
I can see many getting carried away with two league wins in spin and can see some forgetting about what happened against Palace when we set out to play Arteta-way. Put all my personal view on Arteta, we shouldn't get carried away on these performances.
We've seen similar runs in the past when ESR came in against Chelsea. Arteta was forced to make the call and it worked out somehow. It wasn't his intent to play ESR as he had no other options. Had Willian not get injured then, ESR would still be playing for U21s.
This 4-4-2 isn't Arteta's own idea. You will always get lucky as you go along. We've seen Ole getting it right now and then, ended up 2nd in the league somehow. You win 5~6 games in a row and you fall into bit of a slump. Why? Because you don't know what you are doing. When you imply certain system, you have to tweak it now and then to improve or react against certain oppositions. (e.g Liverpool rotating midfielders for different games) This is possible when you know your system inside out. Because you know it so well, you can switch personnel to match certain situation. Like Ole did, Arteta will stick to this and he will get found out as other managers aren't stupid.
Same fans who thought we were gunning for top 4 after ESR's smashing debut is back again. Arteta didn't initiate this change, he was forced to it and I guarantee you, somewhere along the line, he will be found out. (Probably against Liverpool)
Spurs are likely to hire Conte and we have missed the trick once again. We need to see the real picture rather than go all-in on this inexperienced manager.



#copied



This guy here just explain how I feel about Arteta, how we fans quickly forget the performance of the team especially from last season.
It's like we now have a reoccurring issue like this every season
Honestly I think what the author of this post has written up there is pessimism taken to another level. How can arsenal fans celebrating recent good run of games mean we are getting carried away ? The first 3 games in the season we were all bitter and unhappy due to the season not starting the way we wanted it, we lost games we should’ve won or drawn and we demanded that the players and management do better .

Now we are enjoying good run of games , we have moved from the bottom of the league to 6th position , it is only normal for us to be ecstatic . It doesn’t mean Arteta has automatically turn to the best coach in the world , but then it means something has changed . Maybe Arteta is not the right coach for arsenal , but we can’t blame him when the team is down and still criticize him even when the team is up . Haba!

I don’t want to be seen as siding with Arteta on this but I think comparing the team Arteta has at his disposal with what ole has at man utd is just not right .

I’ve said it in the past and I will say it again; I didn’t support Arteta’s emergence as Arsenal’s coach and even after his emergence I wasn’t convinced about his tactical soundness post FA cup final...: yet I don’t have a choice but to get behind my team and hope we get better runs of games . I won’t cut off my nose just to spite my face. If the management of the club has not given Arteta the boot, u don’t expect us to be pessimistic everytime just because we perceive Arteta to be tactically unsound and very much inexperienced .

For now let’s enjoy the good runs of games , when it’s time for us to lament we will do that no doubt .

“Eden Hazard is the best penalty taker in the Premier League because he doesn’t look at the ball, he just watches the goalkeeper then puts it in the other side''


-David Seaman 2019
This one Na person personal opinion no backed with fact/stats na. Maybe seaman just likes a PK taker that places the ball the opposite direction of the keeper.....but that's not the only criteria of being a good PK taker na. Or what do u think?

He has taken charge of that Defence, Solidified it since his arrival, with the addition of Tomiyasu, Our defence has been Superb, infact Our Backline has never given me joy for a long time now has it is now coupled with Ramsdale Manning the Goal post, I can be assured of a Superb performance
Aswear! He inspires so much confidence. At a point in the match when he appeared injured, I was really scared Holding might be coming on to replace him. Not like holding is a bad CB, but I couldn't trade the solidity we've enjoyed in that back line for anything else at the moment.

This guy was very far from that attempt....yet he still reach there. That freekick is similar to the one messi scored vs Enyeama at World Cup. Enyeama didn't even attempt. He just froze.

Omo. Ramsdale no be here. To cap it all up, the cameraman had to show the delight on Leno's face. Its too much to not be proud about. Breathtaking!!!


Big big save! Too tight a corner to reach. Neuer-Class.

To imagine Leno a good outing against Leeds over the week.

Ramsdale deserves that number 1.
Leno was even voted man of the match by our fans in that Leeds match . I feel sorry for him , but he’s got no choice in this now . Ramsdale just won’t stop with his passes breaking the opponents’ press and now with that kinda save ...... Leno’s in for a long thing
