uhmmm. Let's see sha. That Ekiti queens defender seen her play before. Let's see if she can do what it takes.

BlueRayDick:
And me I'm telling u that ur preference no be Arteta preference

🎶wetin u want o, no be wetin Arteta love o.... 🎶

Lol. With the profile of the last 4 connected or chased, IT IS THE PROFILE.

I hope we show Spurs who's boss. We need to. We ought to be on 80points by now if we didn't lose to Villa. City on 4game Streak.

BlueRayDick:
Hope u know that's a taller and lankier Gbariel Jesus ?

U remember yesterday's discussion about Arteta's kinda striker choice ?

You already know my preferred buy. Shey I can't post rumors again ni? 😂😂😂 In my top 4 sef, which i posted pages back, Zirkzee no dey. I just post ni. Lol. I even posted Gyokeres at a point.

ZaddyJ:
Where is Kenya on the list ? For me its Kenya
The rest are racist and are very discriminatory aside Senegal and uganda

I wanted to add o. Racist? Maybe the islands but the rest welcome well. Just the usual banter mode against Nigerians nothing more. If it's their immigration guys, ehen, sure. They always on high alert but not the people.

Seychelles
Cape Verde
Zanzibar
Namibia
Uganda/Rwanda
Senegal
Last but not least,

Mauritius

The Zirkzee rumors mills are grinding already. I hear 60m.

Olympic prep will probably start in June when the season is over so they still have time. It's also fair to state that the preparations isn't really within NFFs purview per se. Olympics is strictly under the NOC or better put the sports ministry. They are the ones to release money so really hope the sports ministry do what is required.

As per the NFF president's visit, he is primarily visiting players of the Super Eagles that got injured on National assignment (during the AFCON). I think it's laudable seeing the NFF usually abandons players whenever they get injured. If at all, only Demehin qualifies for a visit cause she also got injured on National assignment. I however don't think that's in their plans sha.

They should do fast. No dragging or embarrassing stories abeg. Nice one from Gusau anyways.

Jodera:
You mean we will drop points?.

The only reason I'm hoping Man City drop any point is because I believe we won't drop point henceforth till the season ends. If I have any believe that we will, then I would just cancel my mind for any EPL winning.

we will win.

NLD ??
MSD 2-0

Let's grab all 3 points.

What's the latest on our Olympics prep? Or are nff so distracted by the SE appointment that they can concurrently focus on both? I observes NFF President went round visiting the SE players. Hope he was able to kill 4birds with 2 stones by visiting Falcons based in same countries with their male counterparts?

Jodera:
That's my point.

We exhausted our "at worst" limit, now we just need wins and only wins.

Any dropped points now na fvck up

we will.

Many dunno we won the Invincible as early as 31st week and went on to eat draw soup as there was nothing really to play for like that again. 7games and many had opponents comeback after we scored 2 or 3. Naim yeye Chelsea fans wan dey use 15goals conceded to dey undermine our own? Thunder!!!

If e easy make they win league as early as 31st match now. Yeye!!

mostob:
We're taking 6 full points.

complete London Derby Ws awaiting.

Jodera:
abeg no talk this thing again.

Anything less than a win from now till season end is futile. Which one be 4 points no go bad?

Conditional statement: at worst. A loss is not involved. 🌚

mostob:
please don't loud it yet....

at worst, if we take 4points from Man U and Spurs, e no go bad. But we just can't. Besides, that Man U backline supposed easy for Kai or Nketiah to get a brace. No to talk of the terror of the 1st leg, GJ🤣

Chai.

You guys can't imagine it that's why. If you dare change mouth if he gets that pointman ehn. We had links to several and you still think me "suggesting" it is an experiment of my fantasy? Dey play o. Dey plaaayyy.😂😂😂😂😂😂

Everton are rude. Sean Dyche sef.

BlueRayDick:
I don't know why DaveP has refused to see things that way. He keeps yawning for a big bully striker who will come and impose himself upfront.

Arteta will most likely sign a striker but the player will be in the mould of Nketiah, Gabriel Jesus, etc. Strikers who are not going to really be that tall imposing figure in the box, but rather an attacker who partake in the free-flowing attacking football we play and can also hit his shot well.

If we don't need a pointman, MA wouldn't have prioritized getting one that can play the false 9. It shows the setup is going to be effective for an actual 9 that will do way better than Kai.


For you to say he will get another Nketiah and GJ shows how you underrate MA on this aspect😂😂😂😂😂

Haba naaa. He will enter market to get bench warmers??
My major angle is extra pull and ability to compete with europe's best. That's why. You yourself have seen how stale the KO stages was overall by all standards. Lucky is one synonym for our KO outing. But the funny thing is i still get what you and Spy dey say sha. Lol

Shegzdave:
I’m also hoping we get a lethal 9
I also saw an article on getting a presser that will ease Ordegarrd workload so he can show his “OrdePass” skills

I so love Drury commentary

Thank you jare.

What spy fails to realize is that this very team is setup to make a 9 flourish. The fact that we score goals doesn't mean the arrival of a 9 will change our style. We won't just need to pin teams back like before, looking for loopholes. This team is set up already to isolate opponents CBs that a lone pacy 9 will destroy.


Drury, i miss the man abeg. Where's Jim sef. E don tey.

Jodera:
I swearrr....
And now I'm completely agreeing with you, the team structure is set. We need a perfect 9.

Where can we get a Van Persie or Kane abeg.

With any of those two clones, nothing wey we no go win

Spy is still content with the 80+ goals we get. I have never said e no dey sweet belle. Just that we need an experienced or dangerous 9 that will be the difference on nights everything complex doesn't work, when we chose to go direct. The team os already setup for any sensible 9 to score 30 and I'm not even exaggerating. That arrival will even take away attention from our tired wingers too. Me i can't wait.

I heard some new RVPs are in Eredivisie. But they're all lads for now.

Jodera:
As a modern footballer, I think we need to press for the structure to be effective and he's perfect for that. I would be worried if he's not creative but he is.
We always wanted that extra from players and now they Odegaard is giving us both at premium we're complaining. Or do we want an Ozil that only comes alive when he's in the final 3rd. I'll take my Odegaard 10x.

I'm not against adding another attacking top class Midfielder but Odegaard is Our Kdb. There's no attack that doesn't revolve around him that's why when he's stifled example against Bayern, we just deh move side to side

He's our best presser. No doubt. Plus as Captain, his detailing others who to close down is superb. But it doesn't work for us this UCL Ko stages sha. If you observed. Porto and Bayern, two teams set up to stop our press. Very annoying.

Ashey Odegaard has been giving that kine assists from deep to Martinelli sha. Wow. I keep saying the best of Nelli is when he's released from halfway line. Then nobody can stop him or tackle him and it is 9/10 times to be a goal.

Partey
Jorginho
Odegaard


These 3 have given deep assists to Nelli and he buried them. While same can't be really said for Saka(he kinda loves the dribbling and deceiving players until the doubling up and tiredness took over)

It's a risk I'm willing to take sha. Odegaard to Nelli's wing. Let's see how crazy that will be😀

Jodera:
I would be shocked if MA doesn't get Saka deputy next season. Like I'll be really shocked.

I hate to see Saka like this, it's really disheartening. Imagine even Chelsea fans dey compare Palmer to Saka.

Chaiii

Oyo for who no wan choose coming to Emirates next season. We're in magnet mode right now and we need full metal not liquid meetal😂

Jodera:
And you're right.
Most through pass
Most big chances created
Most open play chances
Most key pass


Na why I just shake my head last week when I saw a picture dave P posted here claiming that Odegaard is known for his out of possession work and that it's a bad thing. It even went further to say he's like our Bernardo Silva and we need our own Kdb

When I read thing, the thing pain me I no go lie. Not only from that stupid poster who could even think of such nonsense but also for Dave P for even acknowledging the poster and bringing it here— it's insulting to Odegaard tbh. Na why e dey always good to watch ball cos some people(like that poster) are always pessimist; they always hammer on the negatives. To them the sun is made to just cast shadows.

I'm just in Awe of Odegaard cos he's just the perfect modern Midfielder and leader.

Na question i use the tweet ask na😂😂
Rem I've always said that if that is going to be his duty,then another creator will be needed.

If.

I don't like that he's super saddled with the pressing. I've said that last season and i did again now. So i wasn't affirming. I was asking what you guys think cos i didn't agree totally with him.

The line is thin cos it is between 50 and 95% utility

I've always wanted the top utility and i wouldn't change mouth from that.

Shegzdave:
I hope he can move centrally sometimes when he’s not productive on the wings, cause dude is productive playing centrally for the few times he played there

The fact is i see no reason for him to be close to Saka going forward. It hampers both productivity overall. Sometimes i wish another person is playing the top presser role so Odegaard can be giving dangerous Ozil-ic passes from deep. Infact Odegaard is one reason why i am forever going to trumpet our need for a lethal 9. The left to right wing passes dey taya person. See how he gave assist from deep and Kai scored it, out muscling two shirts. If Odegaard does that 10 times with a better striker, 8 go dey net. E sure me.


Odegaard is tooo productive to be doing Top Presser imo. Near 18 or from deep, guy's vision for any goal threat is elite. Next season sha. Top performer from him yesternight


"arsenal so good, they're scoring by mistake"
Peter Drury

😂😂😂😂

Shegzdave:
I’m only afraid that he’ll get bullied on the ball

That's true sha. Besides i love Nelli at the centre vs Chelsea. When he moves central he frees up Odegaard toooo fast and easy. Especially as Kai loves to drift away to the left too many times.

Shegzdave:
Any game against that tout fc is always interesting even when we’re leading 10 nil

So happy for Raya, winning the Gooden Glove whilst on loan from your parent club

I need this lineup against Tottenham

I want Viera to start that match. This Saka needs some jitters from bench. congrats to Raya mehnn.

Spy360:
We need to sign a striker. Don't we?

Is that a rhetorical question? Lol. Don't make me laugh. Your manager knows this. You should too. Not someone that blows hot or cold. That won't stop me from saying he had an impressive 2nd half.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

iamoyindamola:
Instead make this man comot saka

Goals were raining and Saka was not on score sheet shows how "finished" his state of mind is rn

Shegzdave:
It’s raining goals at the Emirates

Benny Blanco

Game no kon sweet after the 5th. 😂😂

Raya with Golden Glove already. He's 5games clear. It's in the bag. No questions again. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

mostob:


The best way to watch Havertz is to keep your emotion in check. That guy will frustrate you and then make you smile again. Imagine someone biting you and still rubbing ointment on the wound.

We no get time for all that one. Anybody wey no wan consistent like Chelsea should goan siddon make person wey go make us compete and best the best enter XI. That his goal was sweet cos he refuse to allow Cucu out muscle him. 👏🏾👏🏾

This injury affect Yasu o. 1st Sane, now Madueke. Thus is not the Yasu i know.


Can Arteta just make plans for someone to be 8n the box anytime Kai drifts outside to left or right. 3 cross now and nobody. Aerial ball with 50-50 but Saka go foul instead of jump and nod. So so lucky Palmer is not here. I don't understand the disconnect between Raya and Gabu o

Roland17:
This Kai kai na mad man.

He was running towards Chelsea box asif he wan attack alone only to look back while ball was still rolling and passed to a blue shirt. These are some of the things wey dey vex me about him. And Arteta will leave him full match. 😑😑

mostob:
Which spot? Shey we no get wingers again ni? It is not really a necessity to have a successor for her. Most of our current wingers are capable of playing across the front 3 so I don't understand where this makeshift dey come from. However, if you really want Ajakaiye in that team as Ordega's successor, allow her develop. She is still raw.

how many RWs are in this setup since Franny stopped getting invites. Name just 1. Not any "she can play there" talk o.

mostob:
Which RW again? Okonkwo? Rinsola?

Every player can't play like Ordega na

We don't need an Ordega twin. Just a successor. We have none for now. That spot is useless in our game. Make Randy sha no use makeshifts kee this XI sha
