All open play setpieces have been terrible tonight. Rice no cook ni?

Fkforyou:
I need this Zubimendi to come out for Norgaard.

Mosquera also needs to be careful biko. He needs to calm down because this Kavanagh no get joy for Arsenal.

Brighton has been the better team this first half.

Brighton own the first half truly.

iamoyindamola:
50-50 bawo
They knocked us out we are just hanging on
We need runners and compact midfield

It was written there just about the halftime actually. On screen. Initially 52-48

iamoyindamola:
Brighton they play us o

50-50 so far. They seem to love holding the ball. Gyokores is pressing more than Eze. He's also making runs that are wasting while he's also losing the ball at Saka's wing than on the RHS. I hope he gets a goal tonight.

Arteta zubi is over tired I wasn't expecting him today

I thought as much. He sef make e stop dey lose possession cheaply na. Hincapie is give Monreal vibes with a touch of Kolasinac. Low-key, Arteta no dey do inverted fullback again. Wetin happen? Personnel or bored?

Not only dominance but the fluidity of a part of the game that was dead but is now revived, special thanks to Rinsola Babajide- CROSS AND NOD!!!


We can use this effectively and even go on to the WWC and use it well.


Lowkey, i need a european friendly. Make we leave Americas alone. Let's test these guys. We fit even build rivalry with England sef. E go good. Soon sha.

Schemerkhiz:
There’s a rapid influx of those players with higher testosterone levels in the women’s game in Africa right now…!


But Nigeria 🇳🇬 is still not following suit yet..


Ghana, Ivory Coast and Benin are picking up with it right now..

I know of 2 for Ghana and 4 for Benin right now.

The truth is if we start this levels, we go use rest of Africa wipe gutter. Ba still feminine ballers plenty here. And we still by 10,000 miles ahead in achievement and all. If we start tomboys levels of this nature, na 1m miles next o.

iamoyindamola:
Those low block teams are the problem

Yeah. Make we rough am sha. If na 1-0 we fit dey rough dey go no p.

Schemerkhiz:
Name better goalkeepers please, by the way of what use is the Dwa*f Oyono??

You didn't decode my intentions sha😅😅

daveP:
Spurs on Sunday.

If na another D or L and Pep wins, na 2 to 3 points. If we no kon win that Chelsea game, o Pari niyen. They better not drop points for these two. They are a must win if they want to win this league. Pep don see wetin go make am go ruthless now. Mandem fit dey do 4goal thrillers b2b now till 38th week.

Like I've always said, if we want to outsmart and outdo the best we need to do it better than how they do it.

6 points from Spurs and Chelsea. The guys can breathe now. This game is one of the worst in years in any London derby ive watched. Defenders won us this game and setpieces too. Not a curler shot or dirct shot to the back of the net. Im glad everyone is calling out the smellos despite the win.


Even Man u fans are joining chelshlt to say Rice suppose get red card lol. They forget same happened to Gyokores in the box across last 7games and it wasn't called by var or anyone. We drew 2 of those games.

patrickmuf:
Those teams in the relegation zone are not going to be easy to deal with...I rather play teams in mid-table that have nothing to play for than in team chasing European football or fighting relegation.

Funny enough na those mid table frustrate us last season wey we do draw soup like 14

Gyokores on a Gbassmellos today. Trossard don swap spirit with Eze. Saka don forget how to do anything asides defending.

isan:
With the highlight I've seen from today's match , we now have capable no2 goalkeeper in my opinion , she made some good save

Are you Saying Oyono and Omilana no go see chance any time soon?

semid4lyfe:
Great hosts but terrible sportsmen.

They leaked their withdrawal from hosting the WAFCON thinking it'd put CAF in a tight spot but when they heard SA was ready to step in, they backtracked that they had not withdrawn officially.

Another reason they didn't withdraw is because this AFCON will serve as the qualifiers for the world cup, and they stand a better chance of qualifying as host.

Motsepe too feels beholden to them and that's the reason he didn't strip them of the hosting rights.

If na another country dey pull this Morocco stunts, and SA dey standby, hin for don strip them since.

Anyhow sha, make CAF and Morocco get their acts together. The WAFCON must hold this year.

Mission XI is loading

I wish we were n standby for hosting. We for show them say no be by just stadium. But country hard right now. Lol.

Na Motsepe i blame sha. Man thought he's played a joker card with Moroccans and milked it bad. Now they want to push leverage without thinking of their card or the card of other players at the table. Kenny Roger's The Gambler comes to mind. 😂😂😂

you never count your money
When ya sitting at the table
There'll be time enough for counting
When the dealing's done

😂

2 or 3 things to note


We know the nature of the Lagosians, for example. It is a good sample for all

The roads themselves are terribly planned and do not seem to take both the population of Public Transport units and the swarm of pedestrians mobing to and fro daily.


This alone leads to some conundrum and chaos, say if all are sane. It will still be chaotic.

But you now have crazy and mentally disturbed drivers, conductors, private car owners, plying the roads daily.

They have no fear of any law enforcement to be cautious. They don't have the rules at heart due to many factors from the past. They drive anyhow, overtake anyhow and brake anyhow.


Then there are the Law Enforcement guys. None of the currency notes that wet their palms and wet their pockets are never ever ever remitted to any of their offices to be used to do anything tangible for themselves as a collective or to do some great piblic awareness program with Nurtw and Rtean bodies. Just Abled Beggars in Uniforms. Making as large as 50k under 7hrs at most. That's already more than their salaries if they do it for just a day or two. DG dey waste time cos Law enforcement na dem need the law pass before the people.

Market and stalls, umbrellas encroaching the road is a problem too. Nobody sat down to factor all these behaviors when planning major road points and convergence.


And then there's the ones that target Gen Z to transfer as much as 1m from 1 yahoo boy or a crypto pal.

Add the "know someone that knows someone that has someone" that can override the laws of this country, ANYWHERE ANYTIME, and it sums it all up


Some offences should bear down on the lawbreakers. A digital system will help. Capture a culprit, upload to central system. If plates pop up several places, jail time. Increase the fine for those under the influence. Let them get breathalyser and any tool to aid.


But na Naija we dey. Until the Centre holds, symptoms will continue to persists with any half measures in place

Morocco dey beef caf aftr motsepe don too feed dem sugar. Jedijedi both ways. Smh. Embarrassing postponement

IZUKWU:
Favorable draw for Arsenal

6 EPL teams.
2 guaranteed exit immediately save a miracle
Nigerian duo definitely going to get a combined 8G/A in R16 vs Liverpool and Spurs
Barca should take this but Howe knows they well already.
Reunion for Kai.


Arsenal has no excuse for both the UCL and EPL fixtures going forward. Let those that blaze in UCL be prioritised for it. Norgaard must play at least 40mins vs Bayer. Rice needs to start getting rest more often


Easier epl last 10 fixtures with only 2 top 6 fixtures left
And now easier route to UCL.
I know we look loaded but this is why we needed a January buy for moments like this. 4 cups and we in all of em. Marli, Max, and (Nwaneri would have been a sweet addition) are needed.

New players fever.

Early to camp until dem turn gbogbo bigz geh and start coming in late.

I wished we mixed the friendlies sha. Like a european team for tactical brush up. Im tired of Cameroon.

BascoVanVeli:
Let's try to pay them consistently first.

We are on same page for this. The foundation doesn't seem eager to set a template that erases all these brouhaha and embarrassing owing of salaries. An annual budget for such should have a benchmark with fees already on ground rather than the running upandan to source for funds, and if released, yad yada paperwork or one intermediary is stalling or doing something funny and expecting silence in return.

2m as benchmark for both teams annual salary for coaches is okay. Even 1m is. Yet we want to pretend like its 100m. See how they made the Waldrum, Rohr, and JPes situation seem like it was all higher than what Emma Hayes earns annually. Smh.

Roughly 600k/annum for Chelle and roughly 120k/annum when Randy was around. Barely 1m for the two National teams.


We need to do better overall.

mostob:
DaveP, na you dey 17 so?

Which fpl league be dat? Make i join?

do4luv14:
And if the Nff is serious about our football, worldcuo or not, they should go with Chelle plan,
This is the right time to start preparing and building for the future with that well laid out plan by Chelle

His plan is sweet. With a great midfield he supposed cook for WC.

By now, im expecting to see a player that can deputize Iwobi whether we win the appeal or not. The Onazi situation is why I'll continue to prioritise deputies for key positions in our best XI.

Damioduso1:
FIFA give verdict ke this is month ending next month by march is playoff nothing is on Fifa website if you check the Disciplinary meeting and ourcom section on FIFA website up till to this month

That's why i feel the coaching issue is dependent on that outcome. If we lose the appeal, Chelle will likely be let off. Who knows.

Goke7:
Shebi Chelle contract still runs till end of this year so World Cup just in case is intact! Is whether he will coach the team to the next Afcon is what is in doubt

I feel the WC is the priority here. Well, let's see sha.

Low-key, i feel the Chelle situation with NFF is dependent on FIFA verdict for this DRC issue. If we replace DRC Congo, Chelle might be retained or flinged for a foreign manager or anyhow gbasgbos based on feelings.

do4luv14:
I will be very shocked and electricoted if they later did,

A country where they view black as disease so much, that they had to execute all blacks

Asin. Who does that evil without 2nd thought if not tyrants and devils. So normalized the young ones see it as some stan culture in football across several leagues. Urghhh!!

🎙Viktor Gyökeres says Arsenal had a brutally honest team meeting before the North London Derby win....

🗣 “Most of us spoke. It is important to sometimes say what you feel. And to let it out in the group.

“Everyone recognises how different people feel in the moment, and you get a better understanding of the feeling. I think when you speak openly in the group like that, you come closer together. It is very important to do that sometimes.”

🎙Gyökeres admitted the talks got heated, but said it was crucial for the team to move forward stronger.....

🗣 “Yeah, of course. That’s what you have to do. If you’re not honest, it’s hard to improve. That is the most important way to be. Especially in the team. I think it was a good chat.”

“I think it’s always going to be difficult when you get those results, but it’s how you handle it and how you respond to it. Today we showed we did it on a good day.”

E sure me Timber don hearam wella. Baba was crossing on sunday😆

Argentina is not ready to change the foundational character of their players on this racism issue. Smh. Always them.

Since Toni And JOE, no FB don enter our midfield since Rita retired.

And about 11 FBs dey for that midfield scattered across the world. That zone too choke.

Will Simi of Man U women get a chance one day? Sulola still dey one corner o.

iamoyindamola:
That's why I look at people that blame ramsdale but won't do the same for Raya

If no be say person experience am, people don forget say Ramsdale unbelievable saves vs Top 6 clubs even stunned rival fans that year. Sadly he fell off. I'd dare say one big difference between Rams and Raya after conceded a hilarious goal is their facial expressions 😂😂😂😂
Raya hides it better than Rams.

The one touches and tiny passes between Gyok and Eze inside or near the box yesterday is something Ozil would so love. Just watched a compilation and between these two, it happened 7 times, opening up big chances, freezing defenders and opening space for an unmarked teammate(trossard and Saka, they didn't capitalize though)
The one touch 1_2 was sleek. Someone mockef that thats the most progressive non Saka pass Odegaard made all season. Chai. Odegaard attacking instincts is in coma state. If he wakes up one day, even Eze creativity no fit near am. But for now, this sync between Eze and Gyok, i pray Arteta doesn't interrupt it sha. I pray.

Fkforyou:
Raya na werey!

Him go do blunder wey go make you want kill him, but you can’t because you know he is good normally. To further frustrate you, him go do another World class save the next match totally erasing whatever anger you had for him initially.

Baba sabi gaslight people well well. 🤣😂

Ramsdale was like that at some point too. But MA vex gaaan. Got so bad the guy went to goof mode permanently. Lol. Raya needs to work on not allowing that Wolves Bueno moment to repeat itself. It was annoying.
