Jodera:
Surprised how I disagree with most of your points except that of ramsdale and Martinelli

E dey happen.

Let's all forget two players lost the ball in critical position on the pitch to gift them two goals....let's blame the coach for the goals conceded

I'm really impressed by the die-hard spirit of exhibited by the guys this night.

Auba was bursting of energy from start to finish., Pepe despite still being haunted by his poor ball control / first touch still played really really well.

Ramsdale did everything right and could've conceded more goals if he wasn't in the form of his life. Martinelli deserves to play more, even if I don't know who he should bench.

It’s unfortunate the only system Auba and Lacazette can both start is for Auba to play on the wide , if not I would’ve preferred them to always play together .... their chemistry is always there

iamoyindamola:
What did you say
Which defenders went to look for goal
Where is the caution again

After the match, watch the replay.....if u still don't get it, forget about it.

This is exactly what I'm saying. Now u understand what I'm saying about all defenders going forward to push for a goal.

iamoyindamola:
Which havoc when we should be out of sight since first half

Okay...I hear u

Why does Partey keep kicking the ball aimlessly na? He's should stop giving me Elneny vibes o

iamoyindamola:
Tell me any attack we made after the goal abi we are suppose to defend or take caution after the goal

We had 3 shots on target in the first half....if we didn't make any other attack since 8th minute that we scored the shots on target would've remained 1 now, àbí?

By the way, that's the kind of havoc their front 3 can real as evidenced in that Benteke goal

Partey has capped his scandalous showing with an error leading to goal

iamoyindamola:
You mean we should defend immediately after scoring a goal against palace at home
Seriously
Btw we only dominated for 10minutes

Does being taking a cautious approach and playing defensively mean the same thing to u?

In the first 45 minutes I just finished watching I didn't see the team defending after the first goal, rather I saw the team being much aware of the threat Benteke, Edourd and Ayew pose of they venture too much upfront especially players like Tomiyasu and Tierney who are needed at the back

iamoyindamola:
Arteta is not for us at all
We are playing defensive at home with a goal up
We switched off after the goal playing counter attack
Even viera they tap us, which kind wahala be this

We can't dominate all thru the match na, haba!

Those guys have 3 dangerous forward players on the pitch that can make our defenders really suffer. If Arteta doesn't take a cautious approach in this match Ramsdale will just be picking the ball at the back of the net every few minutes o

daveP:
i think Auba is playing better though. And Partey is the worst so far this first half. What's happening?

Partey's had a first half of mixed fortunes. One minute he's making a critical cover /block and the next minute he's getting bypassed like expressway.

I observe if Pepe can get sharper than he presently is, he will benefit more from long passes from Ben white. If he can just be half as sharp as dem Salah and Mane that do latch on to Van Djik's long balls from the back, then he will be very deadly upfront.

Ramsdale!

I'm impressed man.

Roland17:
E do me like make I enter my screen slap the guy

Baba if na street football, na blow go follow am ó. That kind tackle dey cause serious fight aswear.

Them supposed give this bastarrrd red card jor....which kind nonsense foul be this? He wan kill saka ni?

The way Auba dey charge and vibe with life today ehn.....he come turn LANS for my eyes o.

Pepe dey play well today thus far

Goal boooooolu!

AubaMaiGoal

Pepe starts. I just hope he behaves himself today o

Only Arteta has a contrary opinion

popizaino:
What is unintelligent about the fact that I am telling you not to use Arsenal to judge Chelsea? Did you read my previous post when I said football isn't simple arithmetic that one plus one will always be equals to two thus, never come with the assumption that Bayern Munich will have it easy in the epl like they are doing in Germany? Pls if you want to start with name calling, avoid my post. I'm not caught up for those juvenile stuffs .

Your post is an unintelligent attempt at trolling despite not having a grasp of the post you quoted.

Bayern on the way to their most recent UCL triumph ripped everyone apart including Chelsea, Tottenham, Barca, etc. A reasonable person would've made an attempt to point out why he thinks that team cannot enjoy such level of success in the EPL, but instead u jump on mention with ur emotional diatribe .

Now see u forming nonsense asking me to avoid ur posts when I never mentioned u in my initial post before u started yaarning dust.

popizaino:
Because they can beat your sissy team doesn't mean they will beat Chelsea. Talk to us with respect, that's the least expected from an arsenal fan,we are European champions pls.

This is an unintelligent post coming from an emotional fan that has failed to make any reasonable point pertaining to the topic being discussed.

afrodoc2:
Look at it this way. When was the last time an EPL or La Liga team won 9 straight league titles? Go as far back in history as you want.

Then look at it this way, how many different Bundesliga teams have won a European title (UCL or Europa) this century?

Plot a graph of those 2 answers and the answer to this debate is at the intersection.

Bayern Munich is a great team in a mediocre league. Teams as great as Bayern (if not greater) have been unable to win 7,8,9 titles in a row because they play in more competitive leagues.

This is a more reasonable and objective take on the matter. Obviously bayern won't win 5 to 6 leagues in a row if they happen to find themselves in the EPL. They are obviously not invincible as we have grown to see them play in Europe.

But saying things like Bayern will lose against teams playing low block in the EPL, bayern will not beat Chelsea, etc is just prayer disguised as wish.

Maybe if we agree that if most teams in the bundesliga have as much money as dem Leicester, Tottenham, West ham, Everton, Etc have to buy quality players and bayern is banned from poaching them, then the bundesliga might get to that competive level we see EPL is presently. For now bayern is a good team in a mediocre league as u posit.

AnfieldFan:
The last time Bayern met Liverpool in the champions league,the lost at the Allianz Arena.
You keep on saying the embarrass English teams anytime the meet in the Champions league, na Arsenal u d use judge ..
The Epl is known to be the toughest European league, Bayern won't replicate their Bundlesliga success here..

Quick question, Liverpool vs Bayern round of 16..Who remains??

I guess u read someone else's post and not mine cos I don't understand this Ur reply.

I said "most times" in my post and here u are saying "anytime". How u can conviniently misquote a post that was made less than 2 hours ago is still baffling.

Maybe u should my post again and then reframe this ; then maybe I will understand where u are coming from. Also, I don't think I mentioned bayern vs loserpool in my post

patrickmuf:
Bayern will have City, Liverpool and Chelsea to seriously contend with for the title...

The Chelsea that Bayern faced were somewhat in a crisis, this present Chelsea will give Bayern a run for their money...

Maybe, maybe not. Nothing is cast in stone here.

Look at this political miscreant thi king everyone who doesn't agree with him and the useless boy-boy government is an easterner.

For Ur information I'm a born and bred Lagosian by all standards. I know that fact that some of usthat have jobs and pay taxes to the Lagos state government choose to ask for accountability makes nonentities like you uncomfortable . Well that’s ur headache and u have to deal with it!

I will say it once again , the sanwoolu government cannot foool us claiming protesters burnt down government facilities when we saw thugs being ferried to protest ground in government owned buses. They can deceive those of u receiving handouts from them, but those of us who still have our conscience intact will say things the way we see it .

Lastly, o ni jèrè! Ìsìnkú ẹ oni s'orire!

airmark:
Epl teams will adjust and most will play low block against them just as most do against City. How many teams play low block in Burnthisleaguedown with their mumu defenders?

Bayern may not even beat Brentford and with all players fit Bayern will not have an easy ride against Chelsea over 2 legs.

Burnthisleaguedown is crap.

I disagree with this submission. Despite teams playing low block against city as u claimed last season they won 27 out of 38 matches.....Bayern in the bundesliga won 24 out of 34 matches ; that's almost the same win-to-games played ratio if u do the maths.

The fact that bayern dominates and wins against English team most times they meet shows the "bundesliga is crap." mantra is just banter and not a factual statement.

Saying bayern will not have it easy against Chelsea on two legs sounds more like a wish/prayer. I mean bayern humiliated Chelsea the last time they met. Even arsenal as at last season did a double against this same Chelsea na.

I understand u personally don't rate bayern, but perception is not the same as reality.

Stuppppid government sponsoring twitter "activists"....Suddenly they are acting as if they don't know it's the same Agberos they've harboured for years in Lagos that burnt down those places.

If anybody in government is reading this, just know that some of us are aware it was ur political thugs scattered all over the state that burnt Down the buses, courts and malls. We don't fall for Ur unreasonable propaganda

I know you will cling onto stats but we all have eyes, Mahrez is better on the ball than Gnabry...You might point to stats but stats doesn't tell the whole story.

If you say Gnabry is more clinical I wouldn't argue but in their all round play, Mahrez tops Gnabry.

I rest my case.
