Since the days of Unai emery I made it a point of duty not to watch Arsenal matches without drinking ......

Laidis Na big stout I dey use watch the match.... I cannot comman kee myself

You don't get, the players he picked to do the job ain't it
4 out of the 5 defenders are full backs
Chambers and kola are not CBs

Chambers is actually a CB and not a fullback
.... he’s just jack of all trades master of none

iamoyindamola:
Scenes when kola score the winning goal

If Kola did score the winning goal and not own goal , then I will quickly swallow the L like egbonDayo o

afrodoc2:
How good is Arise-Kola as a LCB. If only you guys had 2 Tierneys.

That one Na kola the mechanic. Na trial and error. Nothing is sure with him in the match day squad

I believe this is the only formation that will avert us losing 6-0 to city.

There’s no wisdom trying to go man to man with person wey pass u

Oya commot body body jor

If u are u are an Arsenal fan or ur spouse Abeg pick one chicken for u and urs .... at least make we chop better before we go chop goals foe etihad

eitsei:
I also share this view because 36 y/o Ronaldo is not the same as 23-28 y/o Ronaldo
he's my GOAT but I don't think Man U will win anything with him in their rank and he will even be blamed for it like they've been winning before he arrived

A 35year old Ronaldo scored 29 league goals last season playing in a badly managed team with players of lesser quality.

Pray tell why u think a 36 year old ororo hungry for more glory playing in front of Pogba, Bruno will not fare better sef ?

hahn:
You go belleful so?

Bros u no dey post again. I don Miss Ur post o

Spy360:
Take away the shirt sales, 25m for a 36yo is a poor business decision. Such players move on free transfers as they carry huge salaries and will not guarantee 90mins every match. That's not saying we didn't over spend for White.

This Ur assertion would've been believable of the 36 year old was not Ronaldo who still was still the highest goal scorer last season in the serie A, highest goal scorer in the Euros less than 2 months ago and has more Balon d'or than all the best players in Ben White's country from inception till date.

Guy no talk this thing for outside o. Ibrahimovic that wasn't even at the GOAT level was still a gem for utd when he played there in old age, now u talk of Ronaldo being a bad contract cos he's old and will get huge salary. There's nothing Ben white with his 50m price tag will do that will March up with what Ronaldo can offer Utd if he remains fit and uninjured. Know this and know peace

BlueAngel444:
plenty scummies said Zidane isn't good tactically, so let's see Ole win UCL by just fielding Ronaldo

Enough banters and agendas will see the light of the day this season.

1. If Ole fails to win "major" trophies with Ororo some L will be served and Zidane will be vindicated.

2. If messi wins the champions league with PSG Guardiola Will served L on a platter of gold.

3. If Messi fails to win with PSG, Pochetinho will be called a useless coach who couldn't win with both Neymar and Messi in the same team.

4. If Man utd wins with C Ronaldo L will be served to those who call Ole PE teacher because it will be argued he's always got useless players like Martial and Rashford who didn't step up their game.

Anyhow u look at it, the L's will flow this season and agenda will surely agend.

Funny but true

Bruno go just dey wonder say which kind life be dis sef .....After everything he Don do for the club dem still go bring person wey dey steal all him penalty and freekick for Portugal to come do the same for club

Omo this is the first time I've ever witnessed Dayo concede that he was wrong on any issue.

Ice Cold Ayinde don do Egbon strong tin o

These are unusual times.

Messi wins International competition

messi leaves barca

Ronaldo goes back to Old Trafford

And now Raumdeuter swallowing L without any amala turning stick in sight.

Wonderful!

nihilistjnr:
Raumdeuter Manyoo about to sign another old man to teach Martial work.

Do you still think Martial is better than Kane and Lukaku?

Rest in Jesus name!

This depicts how I felt seeing broda Kola in the lineup on Wednesday

Maria obviously beauty without brains....she can't even win a million for herself despite participating in all challenges. Even JMK that came in few weeks ago has made 2million for herself

BlueMann:
Really thought it would go to Azpi or Rudiger.

Dias was never in doubt.

Spy360:
It's also important we understand the player type and let the coach find better ways to use him.

From my observation, Pepe is good on one one situations but that's when he is in the box. That's why he does well with a attacking RB (as some noted) since the RB allows him to drift into the box while receiving the ball.

If he wants to make himself a potent attacking threat, Pepe must always find himself inside the box. To do this, he will need a creative AM and the RB to create an overload on the RW, so he can then make the run towards the bye line where he can either cut in and shoot or square to the striker. In other words he should be playing as the second striker - something similar to Salah.

This is where the problem lies; you don't just disappear and find yourself inside the opponent's box especially in the premiership, you play your way.

I've watched Pepe play for a while now and I have seen he's the kind of player that always wants the ball to be played at his feet, then given time to take whatever decision he wishes to take in the opposition's half.....We all know the fast pace of EPL will not allow this.

I've instances where Bellerin and sometimes ESR hope Pepe makes a run so they can combined 1-2 passes but pepe just stays put and wants the ball at his feet. I'm really worried he may not amount to much if he keeps expecting to be give breathing space in the EPL. As much as I hate to say this, If u look at Zaha closely u will see what makes him edge Pepe is that urgency, tenacity and willingness to take on his man as soon he receives the ball, moves into spaces when not with the ball and finally making runs that encourages the midfielders/Fullbacks want to pick u out. That's what dem Salah do, they make the midfielders/Fullbacks look good because they combine well.

iamoyindamola:
You said it all but left out pepe, i don't know when that manboy will have sense
As for mix up in the defence it happened yesterday again , thank God for ramsdale
Over all the pressing improved and also the passing were top notch, but that was against westbrom kids
Let's see how city game goes

It's really frustrating watching pepe struggle to beat his man and he keeps failing at it...Always looking as if he doesn't know what step to take to complete his dribble. I really don't know what his problem is.

The truth is we bought pepe hoping we would see a dribbler who takes on his man, beat his man and scores those whipping shots.....Disappointedly he's not been that guy

timbros:
Mbappe didn't look "unhappy" until Messi happened.

Mbappe and Neymar have been paddy all this while. But we all know that Neymar/Messi paddy is on another level.

I feel its Messi arrival that is pushing Mbappe away. I stand to be corrected though. If true, PSG will be stupid to lose Mbappe because of Messi.

Well, this is what Mbappe himself has to say about playing in Ligue 1.

I guess now u agree it's not messi that's pushing him out but rather his own personal ambition / self pride

Greatihex:
. You can continue pampering it. Don't worry, na small small.

Pampering what exactly?

You are Nnamdi Kanu's protege who believes there's nothing wrong in killing security operatives who have families like u do.

You are the one who doesn't see anything wrong in Kanu preaching hate against other tribes like the Yoruba who don't share the same ideology as Kanu's Gestapo style of freedom fighting .

The fact that u are a very religious person who at a time always post links to his pastor's teachings/preaching even makes me confused to know what to make of this Ur post.

I believe I'm the one who should tell u to keep pampering and feeding the baby tiger that might grow and devour u as food.

Laca within 2 minutes of being on the pitch sets up a goal for Pepe which the mumu squandered and he scores one himself

Auba with his trade mark whining R2 goal makes it 5

Better goal by saka the best player on the pitch

iamoyindamola:
But goal keeper should decide too, ramsdale was caught up in the same scenario he played it out instead.
It's better to be dispossessed outside the box than in the box

Ramsdale has the luxury of doing that against this ragtag West brom team, if u play the ball carelessly out against a team like the current man utd like Leeds did on day one, there will be grave consequences like we saw in that match.

Fkhalifa:
You wan start another Episode of We sold the Wrong keeper

Well, till date I don't believe we sold the wrong keeper cos both Martinez and Leno are good keepers. I wished we had the luxury of keeping both like national teams do.

However, selling Martinez for 20m and buying Ramsdale for around 30m over a year after is just bad business.

iamoyindamola:
Pepe na error abeg
I will prefer to see nelson or martinelli

Omo! Even Anthony Valencia wey we dey call "one way" that year will find a way to beat his marker and cross the ball, but Pepe just can't make up his mind each time he has the ball at his feet and his marker(s) approach.

Pepe case just dey off me

iamoyindamola:
Photoshop bro

Btw you see what we are saying about Leno, I haven't known ramsdale much but I'm feeling the kind of confidence I felt for Martinez
He control his box well and his passes are to the same people Leno pass too yet they haven't committed any error

Yeah....Leno is not a good passer of the ball from the back, but he's a good keeper by all standard u can use to judge a good keeper. He's got good reflex, makes unbelievable saves and puts his body on the line when need be.....Its Arteta as coach that needs to play to his players' strength by not forcing him to play from back. My point has always been it's Arteta that gives instruction for him to play from back

Roland17:
3-0 E don tey wen pesin see this kain win before, I will take it.

Honestly it's shameful that Kolasinac and Holding got yellow cards against this "baby" west brom side.

I was really pissed seeing pepe unable to even beat his man each time he gets the ball prior to the second goal

Omo this team has a long way to go in order for us to be taken seriously in EPL o

iamoyindamola:
E tire me sef
What is he still doing in this team

Jodera:
I think say dem say dem don agree to terminate him contract sef...

The matter just weak me.....at least our prayer on Willian Don yield result ; something to cheer us up a little
