If Alozie brings back her World Cup form fine, she can compete if not we would be needing a stubborn Right Back of either Okeke or Nicole!

Going physical against Spain with strong tackles and render them useless as they can’t compete, Infact going toe-to-toe with them like pressing them from their Box, wining our 1-V-1 battles will help. Parauello can’t really beat Ohale and Demehin if they go on a foot race for the ball as they’re also quick and you can hardly catch them off guard..

Salma can only take advantage of a distracted defence imo. If eye full dey shine with man marking, o pari. Hayes really made them use wings today. Funny enough, the few times they got a middle opening, they just wasted it by hesitating to shoot/Carter was fast in close down. Ashleigh at LB or Okeke, which do you prefer vs Spain? I feel Ashleigh will suit the Japan game more.

I didn't watch the game. Even though, I wouldn't cite Oshoala's absence as the reason they lost, but na God catch them sha. I don't know why they couldn't let this season finish before letting Asisat go.

No wonder.

I'm not a Zee fan lately. But if you watched that game, her coming on was the perfect bench decision if she was still there. It was her kinda game. Fact

Deltamani:
I love it when the no.9 is always Aggressive and Speedy upfront! Ramirez is a bully i swear! Coach Emma Hayed did well to render Aitana useless in the game, all her moves where fruitless. What Barca is Lacking is the Toch of Toughness which they need to find Solution to!

Make Randy just bring MacLean on. Things to do to a tired defense....

That's why i miss Desire.

If we are clinical with Spain, we should hurt them. Finishing and inbox decision making are the two culprits for us since WWC.

do4luv14:
Vicky no go trouble us for Paris so??

That geh go turn Alozie in and out if dem jam. If na Okeke or Nicole now, e go balance. She's slippery like a Traore but without baby oil😆

mostob:
How you take know? You dey part of coaching staff?

Did you watch the game? IYKYk. Ramirez was playing like prime time Birgit Prinz and the barca defense was just lazy. Up front, Bonmati was ordinary. Salma was just indecisive and their sleek buildups died instantly as no number 9 upfront to bring new ideas like oshoala does when playing for Barca even as a bench player. Vicky na baller sha.

So Barca need Oshoala. No 9 to do anything different vs Chelsea. Eeyah. She dey Bay.

Good news Dave, Kai Havertz won't be available for our next two games. We are definitely winning those two games or what do you think?

😆😆😆😆😆Jesus replacing him abi? Wetin do Kai? Injury or coach don para with him? He better be fit. Can't be 2nd highest goalscorer for nothing o. He must score 5more goals in this RUN In

mostob:
Gbam! You get it. We need our own KDB. Florian Wirtz is good but his physique dey scare me. Too small

I don't mind. He's crafty like Santi and Rosicky at least plus guy loves shooting(how i love midfielder that sting the palms of Gks regularly, compared to how we'll barely threaten lately)

Plus better 9 for front and we'll get better threat, end results and reduce the extra burden on dem Rice and Saka. I'll do anything to reduce it

mostob:
Free football? I don't understand

We are one of the most structured in Europe. Those two are the only ones that do stuff outside the structure and got a result from it

Take for example, Bellingham's post match interview with dem Rio and Carragher, he explains how Don Carlo allows freedom of play compared to well structured teams like city and arsenal. How it grows confidence as they all know how they needed to do better if an error occured even if fans didn't notice. Plus the stakes are high again.

folake4u:
Better go and face Arteta oh.

We dey face am already na. Lol.

mostob:
It is not a bad sign. Ode is good at what he does so also are dynamic 10s like KDB.
The analysis is even faulty because we don't play with number 10.

It is left for the club to sign a no 10 to complement Odegaard.

by 10 i think he meant creative player. He's always opined MO is our Bernardo. So have others. Meaning we need our own De Bruyne by summer.

mostob:
That Palmer sef, na penalty alaye dey use guide.

10 pks i think. But guy is playing free football too. I doubt we have anyone that's doing that at Emirates, except Jesus and Fabio. The former use showboating to spoil it. The latter is not seeing any sensible game time. Nobody don do Hattrick among regular starters for our side either. Everything get as e be

folake4u:
LMAO. Chelsea fans be natural "hater" na.🤪🤣🤣

Right now Chelsea dey give me joyyyyyy. O por!

I'm just really happy sha that Arsenal dey messop steady. E sweet me.

This current Chelsea dey give you joy? Eiiiiiiiii.

folake4u:
My dear,

You better leave that Arsenal club oh. Don't die before your time. Sheybi I told you earlier this week about Sunday match. Una don play another rubbish days back.

April Fools is definitely Arsenal.

I come in peace.

Chelsea fans ehn🌚🤣

Na Palmer dey guide your season na why.

Do you agree with him? He opines that the fact that Odegaard is the best in all Europe for this is a bad sign for the most creative player in our team.

To dey look dey sweet my belle lately.

comodo:
To get a coach for SE don take 3 months. Ordinary check person records. Check his philosophy, ask am questions about his formation. Ask am to know how much he knows about Ng SE players strengths and weaknesses. 3 months don pass. Too much interest don enter d selection process. Press & bloggers & some govt money bags dey support Paul. NFf officials dey support Apollos. Sports ministry dey support Onesimus.

Shows how unintelligent the selection team is at processing data with respect to the team personnel currently on ground. Sentiments ti take over. They don't even regard the detrimental of time wasted wrt to the WC that's the ultimate goal. I doubt they're ready to do what it takes. One big bottleneck i know that will hamper their quality decision making will be the salaries. Smh

lovewins:
What's surprising is that Pulse Sport (though Uganda) reported this seeing that Kanu is one of their ambassador of some sort. Seeing that LGBT is largely not condoned in Africa both legally and morally, I really do not see why this is news worthy more so by a platform said player is partnered with.

Just imagine! Why now try this? Nawa o

typicalgamer:
That’s the cost KDB has to pay for touching the ball more than the entire Real Madrid team

I welcome that stat anyday

He lost the ball almost 40 times while Haaland touched the ball only 12 times. And he wants us to feel Madrid were lucky. 🤣🤣


Abeg which club for Epl will fit Both Victors jare?

BlueRayDick:
Lolz.

As much as Arsenal need a good striker, the premise of this ur agenda is wrong ; as in totally off point.

Leverkusen highest goal scorer in their league is Writz and he's even a midfielder, not a pointman. Their highest assist maker is even a defender

I know u are pained like most fans are, but Leverkusen is no different from Arsenal in terms of playing total football in which they don't rely on a point man to score a gazillion of goals. Their defenders, midfielders and wingers as much as their attackers score (if not more).

For your information, Arteta will surely buy a striker in the next transfer window but don't get ur hopes too high about the type of striker he will sign. I'm very sure he's not going to sign that big, bully and dominant striker u are craving for. Instead, I know he will go for a striker who can play with the team when we are on or off the ball, a striker who can play free flowing football with dem Odegaard & Saka upfront and finally a striker who can score.

lol


Now i see you didn't watch the Bayer vs Munich game atallllllll. You just jumped ahead of the curve and didn't bother to even breakdown why i used that example. 😂😂😂

Haba.



You talking of pain asif it's just a section of the fans that are feeling it? Chei. Let me just not go further abeg.

I just saw this

TheGoodJoe:
Modric is just covering shame. He knows they were atrocious. We are talking of yesterday's game. All the past is not yesterday's game. Real Madrid were atrocious yesterday.

They can't. That is why the chose to park bus.

Finito.

With all the experience of Don Carlo, man decided to take a different approach to get the upper hand after you guys met and Madrid lost. He's experienced but he's still doing what it takes to scale through. There's no beauty of Man City in this last decade that will come close to the beauty of Madrid's for UCL nights. They know when to mellow and when to up the ante. You want him to play how he played you guys seasons ago abi. 😂

Guess what? Nobody will EVER remember whether they were atrocious or not, especially if they lift this title again. Nobody cared if Barca dominated vs PSG either.

Ucl nights are for one thing majorly-knowing when to turn up and how to turn up. Simple. Or you think keeping defensive structure is beans?? It requires even more than the concentration of Tiki Taka and other possession based styles. Just accept it. It is what it is.

You mah sef... Madrid chose to respect you at your home😆😆 that's enough regard. But as far as you're concerned,you hate how they played. Chai!!! Joe ya so funny and entertaining.

Arsenal players who started 40 matches this season:

1. Gabriel
2. Saliba
3. Ødegaard
4. White
5. Rice
6. Saka
7. Havertz

Joe na case. Is that not how he wanted to make it look like Zidane learnt from Pep

ePepdemic

He just lacks respect SIMPLY because they don't play football like one of the 100s of teams to ever grace the Grand UCL stages. 1/100. 😆😆😆

He say luck. A team that has won only 1 UCL o. Same as Porto. If to say Madrid used Haram football both legs, he will have a slight angle to be taken seriously. But they didn't. All boils down to still being unable to do what needs be done when the bucks not in your power. I just watched Bellingham talk. Wow. Impressive analysis

So superior that your best baller on the Night set one of the strangest records for best players of clubs that ever played in the UCL


kDB lost the ball a whooping 37times just yesternight. 37!! Very superior indeed.

Odunayaw:
Only you thinks City is a better team. Wetin de their body and their game wey Madrid wan admire?

E be like say una no know una mates for UCL

Leave am. Nothing else other than Obsession with Tiki Taka to think that Madrid felt inferior to a 1UCL win. Just because of a game plan used for 120mins. An approach they didn't even use in 1st leg.

TheGoodJoe:
It is penalties O! They were lucky. Haaland and De Bruyne had two good chances to kill them and missed. It is not sabi but luck. I can't respect park bus biko. Just like I did not support Peseiro's style. It is a case of one side accepting they are up against a better team. Respect ke.

Were Arsenal lucky playing that approach at Etihad?


They didn't play that way in the 1st leg. And see the comeback. You should regard and respect Madrid and leave it at that. If they're in a league setup, you can fire away all you can. They did what was needed to go through as this is tournament KO. They chose a gameplan and executed it so well that your Haaland had only 12 touches of the ball in 190mins.

This is Madrid. I don't need to outline history lessons for you even when Barca were there and dominant with Messi and Pep and all that. Yet Madrid keeps standing out even with 3peat. Something City will never do!! Everyone including Spain, understand the place of luck and hardwork in 90mins.


Because they chose to DOESN'T mean they CAN'T if they wanted to.

TheSuperNerd:
They played like hardened Warriors. Man City have a long way to go to be on the level of the greatest team on the planet and in European football history. Show some respect.

They even acknowledged watch Arsenal vs City and it looked like they applied most of it. Only difference is this was tournament football. 16 corners feel like one team is superior. Nobody tries to praise the team that sucks up all that pressure without bending. Madrid deserve respect from ANY City fan out there. If not for tonight, but for knowing how to do nights like this. Simple!! He really needs to show respect and bin the philosophy talks as all that matters is who won, plus how they won.

Madrid acknowledge they use Arsenal approach vs City to prepare. Pretty obvious?

I was here wondering why Arteta didn't consider using Leverkusen approach vs Bayern to prepare too. Oh!! No pointman. Cheiii.


That's one thing i love about Madrid. They got personnel to do both damages(play their own game or play another's game to frustrate their opponents, and WHEN to use it)

There's this thing i noticed lately in last 10games.

We'll be pinned back or sot back and then dispossess an opponent and instead of start counter like we used to do last season, we go dey do backwards tiki taka till alll the opponents are back in their domain.

I really pray Santi Cazorla joins this coaching crew. I really pray.

JUST IN:

Mikel Arteta on the goal allocation of the squad:

“We don’t have a striker that can score 30-40 goals and we have to live with that.”

----------
Oh my🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️😑🤣🤣🤣

Is this an i told you so moment or what? If ya getting rid of one, quickly replace. That's how you stay afloat and reduces your mental Gymnastics on how to cover up such weakness. This is the grand stage mehn.

Roland17:
Tuchel changed tactics in the 2nd half and we had no answer.

All any coach needs now no matter how mediocre is just apply Good Ebening change of tactics for 2nd half. Lobatan.


This man got rid of all influential and experienced personnel in attack without replacing them. I hope he learnt that aspect sha. These boys have no one to look up too on one side. So to do new stuff go hard them. Nelli and back passes. Saka and inability to beat marker?...

It will be a miracle if we win this league. If we do, i won't still forget we need a threatening pointman. As far as I'm concerned, especially with how we're set up, Osimhen it remains. Till then...
