Abeg rest this no sane manager talk

Do you know the opposite talk of such a stance?


"No sane manager, knowing that he wants to slowly integrate Ethan, will sell the more experienced and 1st team players without getting the here and now replacement that will ease in Ethan gradually"

How about that?

If he doesn't trust him why sell off the near trusted ones. Abi na NNL we dey compete in ni?

Almost 7/10 always have one ailment or need for surgery or just in misery. What's going on really? Lifestyle or just life happening to them? Or powers that be?

Na loss i take am as. I pray this man gets some africans abeg. These brazilians dey gbaaaa

BlueRayDick:
I doubt we would've gotten anything out of the game if we had gone the way of Burnley-Long-Balls like u suggested.

I already pointed it out that the way Atalanta was set up would make it almost impossible for us to outwit them with long balls. They had 3 CB's and 2 WB's. Two of the CB's will be on whoever we are loading the ball to while the 3rd CB will be on standby to win second ball.

If any other pattern would've worked, it's definitely not the Burnley-Long-Ball tactics.

What i saw was their CBs were dragged away by Kai mostly. We had no on rushing player to take advantage of the spaceby the side or behind. Anyways we no get onside intelligent forwards sha. The Raya to Kai balls were mostly successful and led to chances but we kill the element pf surprise on such a night. Allowing all blue shirts to fall behind and then the nonsense passing around till the ball goes back to Partey and Liba

7months no goal for the Brazilian forwards we have.


With or without injury. 😐😰😰😰🥶🥶🫨🫨🫨😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Another angle i want us to look at is

This Ethan we are clamoring for now, if he doesn't now make any difference, we'll finally understand we're cooked abi? For our sakes, just like you, i want him to be getting at least 30mins. What's the use of others that have no creativity anyway?

Same cycle of stubbornness.

Jodera:
I'm afraid against Man City cos we'll be so much defensive without even threatening them. And even if we escape Man City, this pattern is not sustainable cos we won't be able to hold possession and use it effectively.

He knows the key to his attacking game is Odegaard's creativity, why would you sell Esr if you know you don't want Ethan to take his place immediately. It's just so sad

You grab why i now frown when anyone points to the bench when we talking of players. It is not like this our Manager is letting players go cos he wants to give bench players minutes. 😹😹


Player go
Player come
Player fly
Man still acts like his XI are aliens from Thanagaria.

They gave you a chance to get what you trust yet e still dey act like he no understand why. Mtchew

iamoyindamola:
This is very wrong
You guys already have negative mindset about him, the ball martinelli blazed over it was sterling that did it and that was the only clear cut chance we had all day

lol okay. My own stance is clear from onset-expect nothing from Sterling. It is that bad.

BlueRayDick:
Yesterday’s match was not drawn because of lack of 9, it was drawn because we lacked a creative player in the middle of the park.

Playing long balls would’ve achieved nothing yesterday if we had a 9. Atalanta clearly played 3 CB’s and 2 Wing backs ; if we had resorted to long balls they will just have 2 CB’s always contesting long balls with our 9 and will have an extra player to always win the second ball off that challenge.

One thing I agree with u is that yesterday’s draw was Arteta’s fault 100% . He knows we lacked our creative player in Odegaard, there’s no justification for Martinelli playing 90 minutes doing nothing tangible attack-wise. Toward should’ve come on earlier for him while we still have Saka on the pitch . Havertz too was just conceding needless fouls all over the pitch while he’s being ineffective as a midfield . Arteta as the coach should’ve had solutions to these issues .

I acknowledged the lack of creativity. That's the take away from the game. I just highlighted that a 9 would have shadowed the lack of that if we had one. Why? Because a proper 9, if they had the big chances wasted by those two clowns, we would be happy we won and also admitting we lacked creativity but a 9 helped to soften that. Arteta sometimes acts like he doesn't know when to go crude and when to stay smooth and sleek. It's annoying. If we went the Burnley long balls way at some point, we for see something from it. But...

Stubborn Mikel

Unlimited22:
How abut Sterling?😊

Love this Gunner for doing this. This is a gunner that knows the Sterling that changeth not. Brace up for more rubbish o. 2 goals will not convince me and neither should it, between now and December 😂

Jodera:
I no know where Jesus Pre Wc dey.

Omorr, him and Martinelli just dey vex me.
The less said about Havertz in midfield, the better.

I'm getting tired of predicting my teams outcomes. I really am. Chai.

This is a loss imo. Raya is the difference with that double saves.
It is discourteous to not reward such a GK with a W or a goal at least. That's the appreciation such heroics deserves. Unfortunately, the personnel lacks any bite to make any unique difference on the night that champions are born, reborn, and grow up under.

Mikel Mourinho himself 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️
For the sake of this UCL format can't he just get a striker?

We have 3 spots with loops. A temporary fix with his long balls approach is to get a 9. That way, it shadows any loops from midfield. We will also win PK. In this team, I can't even point to 1 that will win pk easily for us. Not that nonsense Saka did last season.

Anyway, City up next. Oh my days!!

Jodera:
Lol..
Let's be hopeful Sha.

This 1st half ehn. Lol. Baba don comot the braids he do vs Spurs.

iamoyindamola:
We just have to beat Atlanta with some reasonable scoreline
This new format looks like it will choke and goal difference will play a huge role in qualification

That's where the German teams sabi well. Bayer and Munchen. Early high margins>>>>
Before the season starts to take its toll on form

mostob:
We let go of Vieira and ESR, both of whom couldn't play up to 300 minutes last season. Arteta bought Merino, promoted both Skelly and Ethan. You no be part of people wey dey lambast Arteta here for not playing youngsters?

Now Ode is injured and you dey vex say Arteta didn't buy replacement. Where do you want him to put Ethan and Skelly?

let me rephrase. I'm not against youngsters. But is he acting like he will give the others minutes any time atall? The knock to Saka is the sole reason Ethan played. I even dropped a funny theory about it days ago. Replacement that will be playing immediately now.


A offers 99
B the replacement is offering 50 at best
That's no replacement
That's emergency makeshift.
Minutes is all. If they won't get it, what's the need to act like they exist?

Deltamani:
So this girl Fine like this…. Esther Inyang, she was so good at the WAFU Champions League Qualifier in Midfield for Edo Queens.

Is it Basco that was talking about her ahbi who sef?

Do these players have active twitter accounts? Even some clubs no sabi better social media handlers

elyte89:
D problem with AE and siasia is Dey lose d most important matches(ie final,semi finals etc) ,most especially dt siasia ,na dt one worse pass..is not as if deir foreign counterparts are better coaching wise”.na dt hard luck dem Dey always get..


Look at d two games haunting eguavoen now( na d two otondo keepers cause am; uzoho error against ghana and Okoye blunder against Tunisia 🇹🇳 plus d iwobi red card .

They haven't improved on that bad track record. What's the essence of experience if they can't find a way to better it? Anyway, hard luck.

Jodera:
Except Odegaard have a relapse but it's speculated he'll be back before our game against Liverpool which is just next month.

As for deputy, for them to exit both Esr and Viera, I think they want to make a way for Nwaneri. It's the main reason I want him fast tracked cos if they believe he's good enough (esp to create space for him into the team) then he's old enough. All these slow integration like say he's one 3rd choice doesn't sit well with me

As for Saka deputy, we have Sterling and Jesus there. Waay better than the Viera Arteta was thinking

Two exit and na 1 be the replacement? Doesn't gel. The rest are simply makeshifts and that should not be banked upon to compete at the top top. We should have passed that stage by now. As for Saka, those two mendem, i no go lie, i expect nothing much this season. To bank on them to achieve our aim is a far far reach.

Its so bad cos GM will still play more minutes than them combined. Just watch😂😂

mostob:
Where did you see 4 months? 😲😲
BTW how many minutes altogether did those we sold during the last window played for us?

Ligament injury that they're still doing scans on takes that long. 3months off and the extra 1 month and a few weeks for recovery. His ligament was damaged. That's enough to forget the 2months return date. At most, na December before we see our most important midfielder. He'll miss almost 20games. We should brace up for that eventually and pray no further complications on top.

iamoyindamola:
Haa let's see what our master planner will do
I also complained about not getting replacement for fringe players
Honestly the whole transfer just looked like a waste of time because we did absolutely nothing
The fact that we have been fortunate with injuries over the years he should have known it's coming
Let's wait and see

You've said it precisely. If it was the normal format of games and schedules, our buys are just okay. But we'll be playing games every 3 days now going forward and this is what we got. Inadequate!!!

We'll wait and see. The January window better be the busiest for our club, not because we have to, but because we need to ease and reduce the probability of injuries due to the schedule of games. It's annoying seriously.

Deltamani:
I wasn’t expecting all this blunders at this stage at all… The World is watching, her Ranking will be shaking with the Costly errors she made this evening.

Like the future ones really needed to be shown more toughness cause if Nnadozie isn’t in the Party who will step in?

My padi said she's now ChiamaKARIUS


I felt that when i saw the blunders.

Schemerkhiz:
Manchester City currently destroying Paris FC 3nil.
2 big errors from Chiamaka Nnadozie. What’s happening to her? 😢

The more reason I don't want to take it easy with all the future replacements from both the league and the cadet teams. Anyway, City are good.

Nnadozie don chop 5 sha

And shaw no dey o. Chai.

Should we get worried for our number 1? Or is Man City simply avenging the Arsenal ouster of last season?

IZUKWU:
I wish we didn't sell Smithrowe

4months absence loading.


In July, i was highlighting why we need deputies for these guys. At least if you're emptying the squad, get the direct replacement of these guys that play almost every minute, if not for the epl, but for the ucl fixtures, wrt lessons from last season ucl.


But No.


Now, i am afraid for Saka at this stage. All this better don't come back to haunt us. I hate this kind of outcome.

Tessyy1701:
This is not Me capping but Labbadia aint better than AE and nobody should tell me the club he had coached because he was just opportuned due to his place of birth. We are not just ready

Im hearing it's fake ig account. Nawa o

semid4lyfe:
You dey fear to mention the name with your full chest?

No be that one.

I'm i the only one that is having this thought?

The oyinbo managers being recommended, just by location alone, shows or gives a hint of who and who is recommending them from inside the NFF.

I know i am not alone.

longest league cup pk shootout occurs. Preston defeats Fulham. What a pk

Jodera:
This window was the best window to go for Osimhen but unfortunately we didn't.
Gyokeres too.

Sometimes, I wonder why to just fix final puzzle deh hard us. Same thing under Wenger too. A V.good 9 was what we needed this window (alongside a midfielder) but we move.

Till Jan before I hope for striker again(which I doubt) but before then, I just hope the team just keep winning matches as they always do.

Near signing syndrome. The fear of the what ifs that are not palatable. We waste crosses aside cks. Either of the 2 victors would have increased our conversion rates for cross and nod alone.

See the vlahovic many fans were saying fits tetaball

I'll rather snatch Watkins cos he pass am wella IMO.

Most goals + assists by players across Europe's top five leagues and European competitions since the start of last season:

◎ 62 - Harry Kane
◎ 48 - Erling Haaland
◎ 45 - Kylian Mbappé
◎ 42 - Mohamed Salah
◉ 41 - Ollie Watkins

He didn't know much about his latest assist

See even Ollie Watkins under the Ebening we so laff at.
