You've a valid point sha.
But even if we want to sell him, it suppose be above 40m oo

Me I'll love to have him sha. If you notice he execute exactly what his manager tells him to do in-game. That's all that convinced me that Arteta will say and he'll do this time. But we need money too. 😂

When last we get good price for our player that didn't break into the team? Besides who is seeing the Maitland-Niles story in Lyon?

Hope it has nothing to do with our Niamey neighbors sha?

That guy na case
Always bringing permutation and hypothesis to give the brain of team a soft landing

He should hype whoever he wants but trying to overhype him above the actual hardworkers of the team that do stuff week to week..... delulu

Mandela27:
I swear I remember 2019/2020 when little Saka single handedly carried Arsenal on his shoulder....The rest now is history

He's really coming on. Great lad.

Shegzdave:
Our Chief CAPtain said Harvertz is the brain that guy just Dey burst My lungs

How will commentators and football legends mention Rice and Odegaard more than the so called brain of the team?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Leave him abeg. I guess the standards are too high for those two that maybe they are the spirit and not the brain.


The ghost of the team getting recognition from a top manager

😂😂😂

I bet the NFF current president doesn't know shiii about ranking. Infact, people who have the full knowledge of how FIFA ranking works no reach 3 in that glass house.

Na just photo ops and anywhere belle face. Imagine setting him up with how this ranking works. E sure me he go stammer😂

yinkeys:
What happened to Chukwueze
This is not the Villareal guy that exposed Real Madrid’s defense last season
He needs to go watch a lot of Arjen Robben, Mo Salah & Bukayo Saka’s clips
Chukwueze is the only Nigerian player in an elite European football club
Or maybe we expect a little too much
Was expecting him to be on Pulisic’s level tbh!
My opinion though

The way Arsenal moved on from Joe Willock is how i have moved on from him since the qualifiers. I dunno what he needs right now to bring something new out. Maybe WB go fit am.

Shegzdave:
Are you sure you watch this team?

E reach to ask


MT and EBL analysis is all one needs to know that what he said up there no be am. One that doesn't even watch our games can get a full image of the game from those two X accounts.

Odegaard and Rice move the most in our team and that is most obvious to rival legends doing pundits.

mostob:
We might just cash out on him. I don't see him at Arsenal next season.

Make we sell to Newcastle or Villa for 30m at most. 😂😂😂😂

mostob:
Either way, the good thing is we can play sweet football. We might just have a full squad back for Porto. I might miss the match sha

The reason it's sweet is because unlike before that he was too rigid, he's now changing things and trying different approaches


I think he's realized that unpredictability is bliss!! That's my conclusion.

Jodera:
He's looking good but he'll need to do it one more season, maybe at a middle class club like Everton, Aston Villa or so.

I wouldn't want to rush him sha but for LCM role, he might be good. Just needs more top flight experience

seeing what he's done vs proven teams with supposedly better midfielders throughout and other tasking roles like the goal he denied vs man u is enough for me. But he may also go the joe willock way.

AkinDS:
Rinsola scored in Tenerife's 2-1 loss to Real Madrid this afternoon.

at this rate, who will become our Female Victor Moses/Ademola Lookman at this upcoming wafcon and Olympics?

Rinsola
JOE
Esther Okoronkwo.

The 'inverter mode' has come to stay sir. When the opponent presses in a man-to-man, one full back will invert and the goalkeeper will move forward a bit to become the pseudo-CB. That way, you will gain a numerical advantage during the buildup.

I'm not saying it should go away. I'm saying that we can play sweet football without it is great.

Lokonga this season is something else. His on and off possession movements and controlled passes....

Do you see him breaking into the LCM role at Emirates? I think he's proven himself at Luton this season. Adebayo and co just taking away most of the shine.

[quote author=Spy360 post=128520387][/quote]Lol. Enjoy.

Roland17:
We have been playing a flat back 4 with Kiwior since he came in for Zinny against Liverpool. Inverting Kiwior will only complicate things for him, so Arreta is keeping everything simple and it has worked.

I believe he will grow into that space and get bolder. I noticed he's been last man in last 3games plus giving sweet long balls to Nelli and Kai from deep. Imagine how we'll play with no inverter mode.

Jodera:
Why do you say so?

I'll explain later.

MetalJigsaw:
Imagine Hungary, Iran, Australia, Austria, Ukraine all ranked above us. We need a sound coach walahi

If we are serious enough, we should play 3 of them and give them beating. But na fans dey love rankings. Nff doesn't care one bit.

Half of the problems of RCCG started when this Call and Response prayers became the norm. The flock no longer even wait for the prayer to end before they scream Amen at the top of their lungs, not even vetting if the prayer is right or biblical or proper.


For starters, this is an erroneous application of that incident. It had nothing to do with denomination bowing.

Elijah was the principal of the school of prophets and since the authority and anointing passed over to the new principal, it was proper for them to bow in honor as expected to people of authority in those times.


RCCG is losing it sadly. This is the 4th prayer of C&R that is a big smh and goof in the last few months. Such prayer is not Kingdom oriented and doesn't apply to the prayer Jesus prayed in John 17 for the Body.


At least this should teach everyone that not all prayers one must pray or join to pray or say amen to.

Comments on Kiwior has been interesting. Very very aware compared to Zinny. Is Arteta tweaking reliance on Zinny inverting by switching that responsibility to White? Or it's just temporary?

Interesting compilation

So Perpetual remains the only African with 11 goals at a single CAF competition (male and female)?

Looks like we've not had a player to score above 5goals at Afcon since forever. Always 4 or 5. Will Osimhen or Boniface reach the Poukou/Aboubakar levels one day?

Gracias Arsenal

Big GD and clean sheets


Argggghhhhh. 😎😎😎


See As Soares dey stand over freekick like say he be Bellingham 😂


This team is balling like this without Tomiyasu and Zinny and Partey? Wow.


1st time we win 5 consecutive games in a new calendar year

11 Away goals
21 scored in 5games
Saka on 23GA equal with Salah


Nail hit on head. Great to see Kai score again.

Aside from ApC, Edo and peaceful election is as far as Pacific ocean is to Cape Verde

Spy360:
Apples and oranges

Havertz is not a striker, Torres is a striker.

But Havertz on a Cl final night one Vs one with Ederson, scored the only goal and Chelsea won the CL.

If your MCM Haaland can miss a one Vs one as the best goal scorer in the world, then you should cut Havertz some slacks with he doesn't do as he did in that memorable night against Man City.

Lol. Is this an attempt to twist what i typed? So you still couldn't grab what i was getting at? 😂😂😂😂

Spy360:
Every coach would want any player to score 1v1

But if that's not his primary role, then it cannot be used against him. Besides many top strikers have missed 1v1 including Haaland on several occasions.

Lol. Primary role. Goal scoring when it's a nervy ucl 2nd leg night in 2011 than need to take you to the semis or final and a defender is thru on goal like Torres was vs Barca with all that Miami and Elegushi beach space left and right and you want to tell me it is down to primary role? Abegi noww. Haaland usage is off. He's the best goalscorer around right now. So using him to buttress Kai wasting 1v1 is off.


Once you're a footballer or basketball, how to find the net when you're very clear on goal is a must not an excuse if you miss. And that is aside unlucky times. We're talking of it being a norm. Swap Arteta with just 6 managers and that Liverpool miss ended up not being buried or no rebound and tell me if all 6 won't bench him straight.

THIS LIVERPOOL game is all you need to conclude how Toney will play if he is the 9 we will be getting.

I've always been on Team NO Toney. I was on NO Vlahovic too.

Jodera:
Well, the thing is that is just the off field issues of Auba that facilitated things. Arteta was ready to give him chances esp since Auba helped arsenal and to a large extent Arteta in keeping his job with goals and fa cup. Remember the last season Auba was really trying to always come deep and try to facilitate things during the 2021/22 season?

He tried but he just didn't have the attributes. It was just during his exile(which was his fault) that arsenal really picked up big form with Laca as Cf

It looked lile he wanted to give him chance cos nobody dey again. We were all here together na when we were vexed at player management plus the lazy attitudes of players as well. I rem the late coming and all but I'm focusing on the role playing aspect. Not defending the guy. He messed up!!

mostob:
There is really no need to discredit the manager with all this Kai slander.
Fact is Auba was never serious. Like he lost interest in everything we were doing. How many months did it take the like of Xhaka, Saka and even Martinelli to adapt? Auba was not the only one... Pepe and even Sambi failed to adapt. That your second paragraph no follow abeg.

We all know how cocky it was very early on being a young manager. It's not discrediting as you call it but a preference for one compared to one that's proven. Yeah he lost interest cos MA too was trying to change a 9 in prime time to fit his philosophy in under a season. That's like asking Benzema or Kane to change style from what they're traditionally known to have played for 10yrs. Figs vs Apples situo. We can also agree that Auba had a bad attitude too. All that failed to adapt are out las las. Physiological.

Spy360:
It would be nice if he were a good goal scorer and finisher. However those are not the reasons Arteta plays him as a CF. In fact he is not really playing CF. He is just occupying a space to create chances for others. Our main goal outlets in that team are Saka and Martinelli/Trossard. The earlier we get this the better our analysis of the game.

Are you saying that the coach is very aware that Kai is not expected to finish 1v1 or big chances? He doesn't need to play that position to score either(false or actual cf)

Jodera:
Osimhen and Toney are obvious 9 that drop deep to facilitate build up and still be in the position to score if the needs arises and they're also good at pressing. So yeah, they'll flourish in this system. Especially Osimhen.

What I'm talking about is the traditional 9s that these types of attributes aren't their game. Our system will struggle with them . I'm not bad-mouthing Auba, just telling you that the system didn't suit him same way it doesn't suit Nketiah now.
They might get the goals but we might not be dominant or winning matches consistently

Okay. I get you.


Me i just felt like he rushed Auba into it. Someone is used to a system for decade of his career approaching 30 and you want to now change his OT of attacking just like that. Not that he was not scoring o. Golden boot too o.

The grace he's giving Kai, he never gave Auba. The ish is no one can determine the depth of a fall off with a manager. That's where Auba really messed up.


They don't suit style, yet ya forcing figs to turn apples?? Haba.

Spy360:
Kai is terrible with finishing. For all his brilliant off the ball movements and awareness he lacks in that vital aspect. That was as poor as a school boy miss.

That's tue more reason coach playing him as CF is wack. If football was 12 men i wouldn't mind having him in any free role on the pitch. What's painful is he's missed 16 chances to bury balls this season. If we didn't win most of those games by others scoring, even you no go wan talk or defend him. But yeah, off the ball.
