If I talk this thing now, Arsenal fans go say I dey accept mediocrity with open hands.

Dem say make we sack Arteta and make we sign De Zerbi or Girona coach to come and start the rebuilding process all over again.

Those two still dey learn work and Zerbi is unstable. His fear factor has been hacked like Bielsa's.

mostob:
It is not the squad that makes most difference for them, it is mentality. They play UCL as if it is their birthright. That's why I desperately wants us to win the league this season.

Of course. It's something I've always said prior to resuming ucl football. The attitude of who wants it most.

mostob:
My money is on Timber.

He has the physical frame and cebtre of gravity to match Vini though it won't be easy.

That's true.

Wetin Vini do Kimmich yesternight sha no good. How Kimmich still manager play decider in the goal again despite all that roasting. Mentality!!

mostob:
I think Rice or Odegaard has a strong claim for player of the season.

It will be 100% a Gunner if we win league join. They've been phenomenal.


In any analysis of the last decade, any equation to explain success will have Pep Guardiola inside it whether we like it or not. That man is a strong variable on whether you go win am or not no matter how hard you've pulled and as such, one shouldn't be so berated(though it will be super painful)

As it stands we no get fullbacks to withstand either of Vini or Rodrygo. Pls don't mention Yasu. Lol. If no be Trossard, naso Sane go dey cruise like Prime Robben.

It's a process. All these things didn't start one day.

I believe in step by step and I'm not ashamed to say it every time and I also believe we're in the right direction

The board should just back him and forget anything else. E no easy. Imagine a setup that Saka being removed is no big deal. One day

mine3112:
I believe we will get to that level with Teta on ground if he continues this way but this madrid players are ready to die on the field for the club and their fans. They are a joy to watch.

That's the thing. At a point, only Camavinga and Lunin were in the Madrid half, everyone upfront. I really love how Madrid breaks down Winger play. You just can't stop or frustrate them at it. They'll find ways through. And as you said, players ready to die even if a goal or 3 goals down.

Ordinary 1-0 we go down, pessimistic voices don take over😂😂😂😂

Jodera:
In hindsight, it's good Bayern eliminated us if not I believe we would have faltered in the league run in.
Watching our game against Wolves(the immediate game after Bayern) and I can see how exhausted and empty these guys were. Rice, Odegaard and Saka were visibly tired especially Rice and Odegaard.
We don't have the strength to juggle 3 games a week consistently at such a high standard. And also, Jorginho can't play 3 times a week reason why Arteta did that changes he did against Aston Villa (by shifting Havertz back to Midfield) which made us lose our advantage we had in the league over Man City cos he was eyeing upcoming Bayern

On a more serious note, after seeing how well rested we are, I would have preferred if Porto would have eliminated us(in hindsight tho). Yes, we would have been trolled by rival fans and even pundits or sort but it would have certainly been a blessing in disguise cos we wouldn't have faltered against Villa.

If we had eliminated Bayern, I suspect we might have been like Liverpool now who aren't in contention again and who knows, Madrid might still eliminate us cos we were certainly on our last leg.

That defeat still made us in contention for the EPL title and it's a blessing in disguise

See as e sweet your belle to explain 😹😹😹😹smh


Madrid did the usual. These guys will field one badas XI but na their bench go kon dey make big difference. That's the level i want us to be.

Not kroos, Bellingham, rodrygo

But modric and joselu. Omo.

Tuchel messed up. Acted like a very inexperienced manager. He felt it was over and took off his dangermen AGAINST Don Carlo??!! Like seriously? With Madrid it is not over until 10seconds after Time. Smh.


Anyway, as we no get depth, our key players will succumb to fatigue.

Odegaard tired? No replacement.
Kroos tired? Modric dey

Rice tired?
Tchou tired? Camavinga dey
Rodrygo tired? Joselu dey


We need this kind atmosphere mehn. A day we won't even be scared seeing Odegaard come off against such heavyweight opponents.

Omo. If na Arsenal meet this Madrid, we go fold for Bernabeu o. These guys are tooo cerebral and interconnected. Whether na by individual, 1v1 or touch and go, no look passes, ball recoveries. I pray Wirtz choose us instead. This one Madrid wan pack am join squad laidis as Kroos replacement. Omo! Only ish is this Bayern team no suppose win us. 😢😤

Why exactly is this guy yet to get a call up? There's nothing you'll tell or explain to me that will justify no call up till now.

chrisooblog:
There's no doubt that JayJay was an incredibly talented player infact I would put him in my all time top 10 greatest Nigerian players but let's call a spade a spade and not just a farming implement. Okocha wasn't as efficient and effective as he could have been given his immense talents.

His propensity to hug the ball too long sometimes disrupted the SE attacking flow. Watch the USA 1994 games where he didn't play and compare to the Italy game. Even the 2000 AFCON watch the semifinal match against SA where he was suspended then compare to the other SE games in the tournament to get what I mean.

I don't disagree with that. Only that it gets exaggerated beyond normal. Many of those forwards till date don't get stick for their crappy display till date because alllll the FOCUS is on JJ. Their hype and legendary status is shielding them than normal. Infact it's only recently many admit Yekini was out of form at some point.

mostob:
Na that guy wey dey post rumours on SE's thread. Samueltemi or so.
I made my findings, his name is Alefan too.

Mod should do the needful. To what end gaan. Smh.

Tessyy1701:
Yobo

Why everyone dey mention Yobo?

Amedino99:
quite disappointed compared to the narrative. I was expecting to see okocha getting dispossessed after dribbling but I'm seeing through balls and long balls. Well, it's in the nature of Nigerians to exaggerate

Exaggerating plenty gaan. Guy was quick with great passes when he sae an opening and hesitant when there was no opening. He didn't get dispossessed and yet Nigerians make him look like some Uchebo on most occasions. If the chances he created ended in us winning that game, the narrative would be "JJ was phenomenal"

Nobody talks about the wastefulness of those he was passing to in finally 3rd from deep. Smh.

TheGoodJoe:
Yobo.

Why you only mention one na? 😂


Who go be our

Iraola
Xabi
Arteta
Xavi
Emery
Enrique

All present, hope and impressive and hotcake without doubt for Nigeria?

jihday:
I’ve always thought about this because most the players who retired from mid 2000s either don’t want anything to do with Nigeria football are not interested in coaching

Dem

Udeze
Enakhire
Olofinjana
Aghahowa
Osaze
Aiyegbeni
Utaka
Ayila
Yobo
Odiah
JJ(baba just need betking funds)


Before we enter dem afcon 2006 set
Enyeama
Taiye Taiwo
Mikel
Keita
Etc


Me i feel the nff revolution would have began by then. The era of politicians dragging football in all kinds of courts will end when actual footballers are at the helm.

They really don't want any business with nff right now. Won't be surprised some are still owed some stuff one way or another.

elyte89:
Y re Dey trying to squeeze in amokachi 😏😏

Most of these players are no longer the ones that made us Happy in the 90s. Oyo for who wan gbe mata sori like say they get best interest of SE at heart. Once we exhaust the 90s set in this coaching debacles, i wonder who they'll start with from the 2000s 😆

TheGoodJoe:
If Finidi did not request Amokachi, why impose Amokachi on him? Na wa for this NFF administration. Finidi should kick against it and set his back room staff himself. Sabotage and match fixing is real. A word is enough for the wise.

Nff have over thousands of players that have gone through some feel of administrative setups and yet they still act like we're in 1925 in Bristol or Wessex. Control is top priority for them that checkmating on coaching crew is their top priority instead of removing such interference so that any mess up would be fully the crew's own. Smh.

iamoyindamola:
I will take back eze instead

Some here said he feels too big to tackle. I quite agree. Such a LCM will find it had to be in setup.

Roland17:
Is he still a sickbay merchant?

No more. Haba na. Provided he is available to trash man u, he dey quick recover. Last 3 seasons and consistent man u breakfast servings by him? Perfect Arsenal cookery🤣

Take or face front? Olise

iamoyindamola:
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those wereys are done for the season

Asinnnn. Anything wey concern them don settle already. Na just who wan finish 4th to 7th be the issue now.

Fulham guys flying kite in training.


All the hams aren't going to help o😂😂😂😂

At this rate.

My posts are also being shared. Could be a rogue AI

Make Mod help us abeg. It's already out of hand.

MRSAleroELEFAN

You have shared all the posts I've made in the last 48 hours or so. Should I be afraid? Seeing that your moniker is a new one.

So we can simply say it is a target on we Arsenal fans and our posts in other sections of NL.

Danielnino00:
I hope so o. Finidi need to be smart in his demands to the NFF if he wants his job to be easier... NFF might refuse to hire some personnel he needs. remember when Rohr and Peseiro were rumoured to be paying some of their backroom staff themselves because the NFF refused to hire them officially

Normally, NFF ought to get smarter with backroom staff mode and trash out that Atlanta 96 mode wey archaic pass ottoman empire abeg. They ought to take those 2 roles as important so that others can start seeing it as important to delve into.

That Assist table, na 3 Assists dey stop Saka from being the top right now. Can He pull through. He's on 9. Watkins on 12.

Danielnino00:
I saw a report that Finidi rejected the names NFF presented to him as potential assistants.. he want Micheal Nssien..


To my understanding, Nssien is currently the coach of USA u-20...would he willingly leave that job to be an assistant super eagles coach?

If he gets Nsien, that's almost 100% assurance that a video analyst go follow body. Setpieces Trainer too.

comodo:
That man played Hezbollah football abeg. He just tore life comot from all the players bodi.

😂😂😂😂

I hope he does better.

One thing that may come in good for FG is that he saw the haram football under JPes. If anything at all, that's a mentality course to do what's better.

Yasu was immense today. But na Rice suppose take potm. We are lucky today o. That Raya foul no be am. I'm happy he grabs the Golden Glove

Roland17:
Kluivert ke?

You feel he doesn't fit in?
