Spy360:
On second thought

It's possible for Trossard to start without risking his defensive output

We can focus on creating from the right with Saka and Odegaard and then allowing Trossard to drift from the left towards the centre as we saw in the goal

Then when out of possession, Rice can be the cover for the LB while either Havertz or Trossard himself can cover the middle spot

Goes back to what I said that it's all tactical

Cc Joder a, Dave p

This tactical excuse no fit abeg. Let Trossard be a regular starter and watch his own contributions to attack and see if you'll not forget Martinelli that keeps dropping 0 GA b2b. Sometimes i wonder if coach is afraid that the LW will become more lethal than Saka Wing because i keep wondering why his focus on doing the right thing there is overlooked. I want to believe the LW will come alive this season anyway. The cover idea is a good one.

Or on a more experimental level. Let Trossard and Martinelli play as LW and CF with the swapping between both and also anticipate the telepathy between Trossard and Saka to come alive. Either way, both wings need deputies

The very team i expect the Edo Queens to prepare for immensely. They should be taken like how Arsenal takes Emery's Aston Villa-a thorn in the flesh.

Jodera:
This your comment would have been valid if Arteta didn't bench Martinelli ass for Trossard towards the end of last season when we were looking for all possible 3 points.

If Martinelli still continue this his nonsense, sooner rather than later, he'll be benched for Trossard.

Make him continue to dey bank on defensive awareness and tracking back while neglecting other aspects of his play. Lol

A more experienced coach would have benched Nelli by now till he resets that wasteful part of his brain. I still hope we get deputies and that striker NOW. As wasteful as Martinelli is, his left footed crosses are the kind a lethal aerial 9 needs to punish any defense in the EPL. At least that one would make him look good despite his underwhelming performance. I can't imagine relying on Kai this season. He's not the physical monster we need upfront.

Spy360:
It is easier to score coming from the bench than when starting.

It's more come from the bench and score within the last 10mins, than to score within the first 10mins.

The obvious reasons are because opposition defenses are down physically and mentally. They are out of ideas and are more prone to poor decision making-; wrong position, poor alertness, slow thinking and loss of concentration

In the Euros, Fulkrug will come from bench and score for Germany, but Havertz was always preferable to start.

The same thing with Garnacho or MC Tominay for United.

That doesn't mean whoever starts cannot do the same things. Or who comes from bench is not good enough. It's just tactical.

All that one na shalaye o. Man City no need that one to be an excuse for them.

2nd, 5th, 10th 60th 70th mins, City go score anytime and it won't be a situationship. Fully alert or fatigued, we ought to be getting them from bench or not. I just pray Arteta makes his subs earlier than last season.

We need that Left wing to thrive in such a way that managers stop doubling up on Saka.

Roland17:
Who else felt Trossard’s celebration sort of questioned why he isn’t starting?

It was. You can't watch someone playing your position dropping stinkers and not get angry that you've not been given such trust to immediately replace.


I love Peter Drury's commentary of this game. Oh my! We need to win this league this time.


Whatever it takes. If na 3 more buys(2 wingers and 1 striker) I don't mind.

Win so sweet nobody even wan analyze Kai. Na Nelli we face😂

Spy360:
He just wants to sell Osimhen and make money

That moment one thinks this is all a deliberate delay

This Villa guy just dey walk through our defense like hot knife through butter. Now Rice don colet unnecessary yellow. But that Onana challenge is a yellow too. Smh.

Who else notice the zero connection between Kai and Martinelli outside the box in particular despite Kai being in a good position to threaten goal or get pk with just an aerial pass from Nelli??

See the ecstasy on Ebening's face when Raya spilled? Is that something he noticed about our gk? Abeg o.

Martinelli left is useless.

Roland17:
This Martinelli is annoying. Which kain rubbish pass be that.

Guy wan add Terrible passing to his game sha. He has Rice near him now and yet.....

Imagine Rice and Trossard>>>>
Cos i no understand this terrible decisions.

Jodera:
Lol..
Titi have done Wonders for us and paid his dues so he deserves to go anywhere he feels like if he so wishes and he'll have both fans and Wenger's blessings(as long as it's not our England rivals). I'll liken his situation to that of Gundo.

Same with Viera who has paid his dues too. In fact, it was because of Fabregas that Wenger sold Viera so that the former will shine.

Fabregas fall Wenger hand cos Wenger really hoped on him and built his team around him yet he forced move and left at his peak of his powers. It's painful.


If Wenger can accept Henry and Flamini back but vetoed Fabregas own, then you know (like you said) he really fvcked up Wenger well.

But make I no lie, e pain me sha. I really wanted fabregas back cos I loved him like kilode

Let's also not forget the years of no ambition by our club. Arteta can't make me forget such era. It was abysmal and there was no consolidation whatsoever. I still remember how other ambitious teams were coming for our players and were using them to win trophies almost immediately. Like immediately. Meaning that the club was toying with jewels and gems and not doing the necessary to make them dominate and win trophies. It was a bad bad time to be both an Arsenal fan and a Super Eagles fan that year. But even Super Eagles won AFCON sef.😹😹😹

Chest go dey hook fan cos Transfer go come and go asif all the injuries were not enough reason to buy replacements. We go dry queue up mentally for a particular player to return from injury for UCL night. Only for 21mins in and no hope for next game. As much as 4 to 8. And when small small buying came, the insatiable nature has overtaken the average fan that even when Giroud began, many were still not convince until Sanchez landed. Cant forget that extra £1 that was used to trigger release clause of a prospect that year😭😭😭😭

We've come a long way. I'll not blame players totally.

The system was perfect for winning but the mentality was bottom barrel. Or should i say the bottom of the bottom of the barrel.

Lush100:

Nketiah is already on way to Nottingham forest.

Don't know if he can be recalled

Recalled? No way!!! Let the loop be a blessing in Disguise. Kilode sef. Lol

Fkforyou:
Fair assessment and analysis.

However, could it be said that his beef was with Wenger and Not with Arsenal? Because, we (Arsenal) still celebrate him one way or the other, unlike RVP, Adebabayo and co..

Whether it was with Arsenal or with Wenger, the truth remains that the Wenger that everyone knew regarding discipline and character will not suddenly bend the rules for Fabregas after his reputation as regards discipline. We saw how the szcheszny matter went to. At the time it looked harsh but that was Wenger. Surprisingly, the Wenger template is now a norm among many clubs in Europe and beyond. Prior to then, many would ignore the indiscipline cos of talent.

I have a gunner friend that holds the school of thought that maybe that's why Arsenal no dey take teenage straight to senior XI again. It sounds funny to me anyway. We the fans don't know or see alot. Infact the media too dunno some stuff.

The other two took hatred to another level according to fans.

Spy360:
Napoli wanted him to go to Chelsea as a part deal for Lukaku. The good news for us is that Lukaku now has a deal in place between Chelsea and Napoli that is outside Osimhen. Any club that can cough out 100m and 300k pw will get Osimhen.

Conte sef. Wetin he dey see for Lukaku though?

Spy360:
I just know say that Fabio no go make am here. Arteta wanted to create opportunity for him on the right as Saka deputy but he is not taking it. He cannot do 1v1 and he lacks stamina

How many players Arteta don fumble laidis? I dey count am. Why buy him when no be Eredisivie or La Liga where physicality is not a necessity? Even that RW thing, immediately i heard it, i knew it couldn't work, majorly because he too overuse Saka to trust Fabio there regularly.

Osimhen mata dey taya person

Wages brouhaha. He should go to Saudi abeg

Deltamani:
I mean make quicker and precise decisions with the ball.. Their passing still look slow for the kind of level we’re talking about.

Oh. Okay. If they can work on that, the merrier then.

Deltamani:
If they can add some pace to their play they stand a chance of winning the Champions League..

I think they have speedsters in the team. But they need to use it. I wish there was some opta coverage of their tactical side so we see how they operate under 90. They no dey waste time for counter and i love that element of surprise.

kheny12:
I hoped they prepared well for the CAF women's champions league.They can become the 1st nigerian women's team to win the CAF women's champions league.

They need the grit and tenancity at trying moments to overcome Moroccan and South African opponents. For now, they are loaded. The management should do their own part to make sure nothing disturbs these ladies mentally. Goodluck to them and their preparations

Congratulations to Edo Queens

Can the club management improve on that jersey please? Please....

I love how they play. Their passing the ball is needed in the Super Falcons.

johnjunior39:
I don dey confuse too my guy.

But I guess Nwaneri will get plenty opportunity this season.

Make we dey watch sha

Orstein just announced season long loan for Fabio.

Porto came through. I don dey tok am since.

Las las, all of you go gree say Fabio go go loan las las. I don't see him getting minutes near last season's minutes.

Let's even see who this shock signing is going to be sef.

Abi na Neymar?

Nketiah deal should be fast abeg.

Latest links, either way

Bohemian FC of the Republic of Ireland Midfielder, SIMEONE ADEBOWALE REILLY

The 16- year old was born to an Irish father 🇮🇪 and a Nigerian Mother 🇳🇬.

She stated " It has always been my dream to play for Nigeria despite the fact that I'm eligible to represent the Republic of Ireland, Nigeria has always been my number one choice and I'm working very hard to convince my coaches and my goal is to make the final squad to the world cup in Colombia 🇨🇴…

She’s still within the age bracket, She should be drafted to the U17 let her start from there….!

U17 is months away. Let her play there.

I also hope Aliima Attervall gets her chance to play for Any cadet team. They just cap tie her and she no kick one ball. I dunno where she is currently sef. She's 18 currently.

These guys are the wackiest decision makers of the Football world in the last 6years.

The quality of their conclusions and then that statistics of ALWAYS tilting and getting to emergency conclusions and situations is sickening.


They can make a mediocre decision in December without the intelligence of foresight and then be eager to act saviour for a decision caused by them. And what will be the saviour decision they'll arrive at?


ANOTHER TERRIBLE emergency conclusion.

Nobody gets the stick, hammer, or as much as a mosquito bite.

We need what China is doing to their football federation in the here and now. These are clueless and terrible football administrators at the helm.

BascoVanVeli:
Edo Queens handled business against Inter FC of Ivory Coast. They will play in the final next

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECsntx4wh3Y

I love their transition speed. No time wasting. However, most of the attack is from the RHS. The LHS is hibernating. I hope it comes alive in tournament proper. Beautiful 2nd goal. I see two players that will make the Super Falcons come alive with how they move alone. Big potentials there. I hope they improve on their passes in the box. They pass so well outside the box. Their opponents are not beans in tournament proper sha. But great build. Wish them all the best.

As for their pk, our gk....
Let me not talk. Lol.

Deltamani:
With the players picked in Defense and Attack am very okay… cause is going to be tough for Danjuma to decide who starts considering their Capabilities…

… Two will have to start btw Shukurat, Oyinlola and Comfort at CB

… Imuran, Oluchi, Jumoke as FB’s

Upfront… Opeyemi Ajakaye, Janet Akekoromowei and Flourish Sabastine might be the starting trio upfront.. ( Speed, Finishing and Skills/Playmaking)

Goodness Osigwe, Adaobi Okah, Aminat Bello and Chiamaka Okwuchukwu are also good to start..

Yina Adoo will have to carry the main cross in midfield cause she’s arguably the one I know too well that’s very good with the ball, She plays more as a Deep-Lying Midfielder. I would have loved Chinyere Kalu behind her cleaning up the mess and doing the dirty job but Danjuma dropped her..!

There should be balance regardless. The defenders wouldn't be creators or dominate proceeding. There ought to be at least 2 extra midfielders. If injury occurs, who replaced them? I don't like the number. Every other section may be okay but we shouldn't be doing the midfield like that no matter how talented the team is.

Deltamani:
After going through the photo thoroughly on several occasions i noticed that Danjuma picked 21 player for the tournament… and I was able to Identify 19 of them, THE PLAYERS I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY…!

Omorr, that was years ago oo.

I'm sure even Palace would have forgotten they had such a deal sef

That was under Emery sef. That's the point. Chai. He turn from Boi to starboi. Palace for don cash out by now.

Ironically, this same zaha fumbled epl greatness. He for just comot since and be balling than whatever sterling and Rashford dey currently do in a top 6 team. Well well.

New revelation
