Half a century loading. Saka is getting fouled but it is bringing threats
They better stop fouling our captain. PSG no understand wetin dey happen sha. Trossard>>>>>

Timber wants to make it hard to leave this XI compared to Cali. But it is good for Rotation sha. Tomiyasu and Zinny though. Especially Zinny

Deltamani:
Simone Adebowale Dropped by Coach Bankole🤭

#Copied
Simone Adebowale Reilly honoured Nigeria's invtation to camp with the Flamingoes in preparations for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.

Everyone asked why she wasn't a part of the U-20 World Cup team and then she showed up with the U-17 girls but has now been dropped by Coach Kayode Bankole.

I thought it was a good idea to let her grow with the U-17 team and get prompted across the cadre as her maturity and game progresses but now that she has been dropped, I hope they will leave her alone when she shows up big for her country of birth.

I wish Simone Adebowale Reilly well in her future endeavours even as I hope Coach Bankole proves us wrong on his decision to drop her.

The nff itself is not trying to make the fbs see playing for Nigeria early as a catch. I keep saying that Attervall part was crazy. Since Courtney Dike I don't remember any fb balling for us at cadet competitions. Now the two that came are suddenly brushed off in this manner? Simone is good enough for u20. Not to talk of u17. Before someone thinks this is some worshipping talk.

Nobody gets rejected twice in such manner will be happy to rep.

This is sad. Not just her but the way it was done.

Made this girl even do team initiation
Only to end in tears?

Simone go crode o. From u20 to u17 to zilch

Shegzdave:
Champions League ke? You go sabi take risks ooo
I’d love for Arteta to play him against those small clubs in the premier league, inasmuch I want him in the team, Ordegarrd is very important to us.

Not him specifically. But rotation as deem fit. Normally, if Odegaard is fit, he's the go-to choice for UCL undisputed.

Shegzdave:
Exactly what I need from him, the competition would be stiff

We'll need it badly. Infact, let MA be rotating them. This one play UCL on Wednesday, the other automatically balls on weekends. Like that like that. Will keep the creativity sustainable, fresh and up there. We need that creativity arc rising. Will love to see a lethal Left wing when Merino resumes. Nelli creating space for a backpass to California or Merino to shoot or cross will be sweet. If only we had a punisher in air at the centre.

TheSuperNerd:
If e no be arteta dark arts, e no fit worse pass that one. Make it 100. 🤣

Make e be like that Nelson equalizer ba?

We gather

BlueRayDick:
Baba football has moved beyond that level of Mourinho era when u can win the league conceding just 15 goals. Nowadays even small clubs have access to TV rights money which affords them enough deep pocket to sign right-fit players they fancy. That's why u see that if a big team loose-guard they will collect from a small team.

As regards champions mentality, I have already addressed it in my previous posts. Champions mentality is pulling off a result against all odds. Even when u are disadvantaged, being able to come up tops at the end of the day is that mentality u need.

Everybody spoke highly of Leverkusen last season as to how they came back over and over again from losing position to either draw or win matches. Why is nobody knocking them for falling behind? Because it's what happens at the end of the match that matters. That was what I was telling u earlier.

Anybody that saw that Ur initial post would think I was saying it's okay that we lost our 2 goal advantage ni.

I rest my case. I've tried.

Bar injury, i see him on 10 assists by Christmas.

Can the SE manager use him in the same capacity as Cooper? Using him in DM is an insult going forward imo

TheSuperNerd:
Go meet Arteta and him backroom staff to teach you real dark arts as shown when una go 1 man down vs Man City. 🤣🤣

You no know which one i wan use yet. This one na with complete 11 for 99mins. Runnnn oooo

TheSuperNerd:
Why asking me?

Don't trust my judgment since I am also the one who recommended Nwakali. Recommended Amuneke and also Recommended Alhassan Yusuf who has gone to MLS football.

So like your fellow Dave P said, don't take me serious. 🤝🏻

I go use dark arts for you soon o.

mostob:
See, on this striker matter, you will calm down. The era of just spending anyhow don pass. The same club wey you dey troll wanted to sign Sesko in the summer until he decided to sign another contract.

How many strikers out there can give Haaland's output? And spreading the goals across the frontline doesn't really exclude a striker. It depends on what the striker offers alongside goals. The aim of this is not to be over-reliance on one source of goals. We kukuma used Auba as an example few days back.

So you saying you will deck someone is somehow funny.

It was meant to be funny na. Wait, e be like you don too dey take me serious beyond what i dey do o. How do i undo this without dark arts right now?

The fact is Kai is not it. So till January.

BlueRayDick:
Now I get where u issue originated from; u are reliving a fantasy in Ur head.

Even man city that won the league last season conceded 34 goals( Arsenal conceded 29 by the way) but u are hoping arsenal concedes less than 15 goals in reminisce of the Mourinho's Chelsea team feat. Wake up bro!

Even the Mourinho that achieved that is chopping goals in Turkiye league.

Now that's where you're wrong. You didn't see the Pep example? Im bringing a talk about Champs mentality. I didn't expect that will fly by na. Cos say Mou set record no mean say person no dey use am as yardstick. And because he dey chop goals now no mean say his epl records are not desired to be replicated or near to.

Mentality.

If that's a fantasy to you, i dunno what else to say to convince you. But i know why i used that example.

mostob:


Na why I ask which of the Martinelli. Maybe Dave p get another Martinelli wey he wan dash Arteta.

The kind we get sense actually.

mostob:
Drop yours make I come meet you for house. I no wan make you waste tfare.

Na No holds barred airfare na.

mostob:
You want to play Martinelli at CF? Which of the Martinelli please?

Shhhhhh.

Personally, That Chelsea 15goals conceded season is one reason i dey lambast. Goan see the mentality with those guys mehn. If front dey mess up, ya not seeing any goal to score from defense. For where. Who and who? Not with Mou breathing down your neck either. Or is it the 100points season?


Let me sha say that to stop dey shout go hard me for this team. That's just it. I know I'm not alone on this level, the level i am expecting to see this season after all the last seasons we've passed.

All well and good sha.

That Hermansen carry 13saves join body. Omo. Twale to him abeg.

mostob:
It is better to spread the goals across the frontline rather than have a traditional striker. I dey my house, come and deck me.

Drop address fes. I go use dark arts 🧹🧹 reach you nanana

BlueRayDick:
Let me just tell u: As a fan, if u have the mindset of "It's same ol' Arsenal" u will never enjoy matches. U will keep looking for negativity to analyze after each match.

The match was still ongoing, the players were still fighting to get something out of the game and u Don already switch writing them off. No be so.

If u were in the stadium watching live, would u have left at 2-2?

Not that it is same old arsenal of wenger days. No. But slipping down to such level and trying to be cool with it for 20 to half an hour. We are on trust the process peak moments. So a dive to such low level deserves screams. If na Mou be our coach and this happened, we both know how he'll be furious with their display till they up the ante. I didn't write them off. Even in games we win, or other teams win you see captains in press talk demanding or hoping for more or maintaining a standard.
I guess quality of opponent amplified this sha. Im happy for the 3 points. I hope they do better. Especially with clinicality.

Ethan should be a starter hence abeg. But i doubt this man go wan drop Kai if push comes to shove so that Trossard go dey wing and Nelli in CF. I don't think with such display that Trossard should be coming from the bench hence.

Ethan curler barely 10seconds after coming on... I need more outside box shots abeg. Cali for left, Ethan for right. Im impressed with him.

Chelsea fans dey jelos. Saying Saka dey statpad from corners. We go meet for front. Lol.

More open play goals though....

iamoyindamola:
How person go look that guy call am striker

I fit deck anybody wey still dey say we dey spread goals and so we no need striker.
Imagine a proper cf in position of Kai, this game for don over since 60 minutes na. Lucky he scored las las. But it can be way way better.

BlueRayDick:
Obviously none of the players are happy things got to this level; neither did the coach too. That's why I said these things happen in football.

Arsenal vs Reading during Wenger days, we fell behind 4-0 and ended up wining 7-5 in that match if I remember Correctly.

I'm not justifying this kinda performance but I'm saying as a fan u can't just start lambasting ur team in a match that is not yet over when they still have what it takes to correct their mistakes.

E get some kind showing wey go dey vex person wey wan beat the best to their game. Glad they restored the advantage in dying minutes.

We just need to demand even more. That's the whole expectation.

Talk true, vs Bayern last season, tell me you didn't feel it was over after you saw some funny cluelessness and lack of energy that night. Especially as nothing changed as time ticked away.

We've been here too many times under wenger to demand that such consistency should not be happening again. That's my angle always.

If na big team wey dey create fire, normal
But Leicester should not bein the category to be making comebacks. So yeah, i get you, but pls demand even more from everyone of them, including Saka. Lambasting for nonsense. Even Kai sef.


Modified.

Roland17:
When will this team learn to raise their game, especially when things go differently? We can’t seem to ever know how to adjust to changes.

It's annoying. I'm not ready to accommodate what i did last season one bit. After they got their 1st, the back supposed add extra padlock. Cali was less urgent in preventing the 2nd than the on rushing Trossard. I hope that doesn't repeat. We suppose don pass all these kine permutations by now. Seethe urgency in Ethan's body language as soon as he came on mehnnn.

BlueRayDick:
Yes they messed up and now we are 3-2 up.

I repeat, It's what happens after a 4ck up that matters 🧏

yeah. But we shouldn't be letting this kind of incidents happen if we want to be champs. We shouldn't. That's why i picked that part only. This is Leicester naaaa. If na top 6 now, ehennnnnnn. That's my point.

iamoyindamola:
We lost 2 goals lead
Na that one pain me pass
We should have been out of sight sef

By comfy standards, this results can be taken as okay.

But considering who we are up against and trying to best, this is abysmal. I know by December, one excuse on schedule will come up. Just wait and see. Isn't that why we cried for enough signings?

We're up against City
We're up against pgmol as well

If City are dropping points, the expectation is we should be taking advantage. Same way they'll take advantage if we were on top and dropped points.

I wish many dey this level sha. Cos to dey baby these kine showing is distasteful.

BlueRayDick:
U like talk well well. Like Madrid hasn't lost to lowly placed teams in the league before.

Person go talk one thing Una go begin misinterpret am as Una like.

I clearly said this is football and anything can happen but what happens is what U do afterwards. Anyone seeing this ir post will think I'm condoning falling to 2-2 from a 2 goal lead advantage.

that's an exception not the norm. Better increase what is expected of these guys if at all they will be champs tomorrow. That's all i ask anyway. The boys should have done way way better for those goals conceded. So they messed up. Say it.

Mentality of Champions>>> This is football anything can happen


You control narrative for your own ANYTHING to take top spot. That's the standard of top dogs.
Champions will berate themselves terribly for dropping 2goal lead to such a Leicester team.

Its like Madrid dropping a 2goal lead to dia Elche or Cadiz. That's enough to shout even if they win at the end

Clinicality ehn

iamoyindamola:
The game should have ended in the first half
All this rubbish no suppose happen
You want to be a champion start acting like one
We suppose dan pass this nonsense level we go thru drag match after going 2 goals up

Thank you. The bar needs to be raised in expectation at least approximate to Pep's, not all these yeye Allowance for nonsense upfront or at the back.

Proper cf go sabi what to do after rice gave that pass to either get a pk the smart way or shoot shapali. This one dey fall dan dey shout

iamoyindamola:
Kai is not a cf
Kai is not a cf
Kai is not a cf

2games, and it's looking like guy dey hibernating mode.

Instead of 4-0 na 2-2
Arteta make some changes abeg. Omo.

BlueRayDick:
Arteta just needs to find a way to play Trossard often, the guy is not goal shy at all.

If we intend to attack and be less wasteful we can still score more goals in the match.

Seriously. He needs to get even more minutes
