Lmaoooo

Shebi we need striker?

All hail Lord Biereth our striker

He was seen on Colney prior to the fa cup clash with Liverpool 🤣


If he's signed already, then e be like we need trace this MA supplier to Mongolia. E reach to.

Since the 2011/12 season that RVP bagged 30, our Highest goalscorers limits have been <20goals bar Sanchez and Aubameyang. Have we been delulu for quite a while? They really do Sanchez and Aubameyang strong thing. The defense playing behind the duo were most terrible. I can imagine both under this current team. Nobody will even be complaining about our weak fullbacks situation if those two were here. Na so so 11,14, 16, 18, 15 we dey get since then😒😒😒


Fun/sad fact-those were the only two experienced forwards by acquisition in a long long long while.

Mika Biereth??

Nawa o

Toney scored an hattrick today sha.
About giving youngsters playing time, Arteta is currently under pressure right now and I'm sure if you're in his shoe, you will always go for the proven players. How many youngsters did Pep played before he won UCL last season? There is no chance to be playing and developing players when everything is at stake.

This can only be true if they don't perform. How many of the youngsters in other top 6 teams that played FA cup are way way better than the ones at arsenal? The difference is we have a foolish manager rn. Fact. See how Omari dey drop hot takes and all are bitter true.


Only Arsenal no use Youngsters.


That shows that the manager is the problem. He doesn't think his style can work with them. Chelsea are 10th for all sakes. Yet... woh...

We never reach pep level to even dey use am as example right now. He's not the ultimate either. But his apprentice seem to be so loyal to his own detriment rn.

mostob:
Zidane has been out of job for how many years now? Did you just say Bundesliga? Julian and Flick are good sha but the language barrier eh.

Those two sef sabi English actually. Bundesliga coaches sabi recruitment for forwards make i no like. They don't need to be all 100m before they'd get results from them.

Just saw one loud arsenal fan saying that we don't need strikers. See ehn, mentality is something Gunners gats revamp. So cos we have 61 shots and scored 1, we don't need striker? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who is that sef??

If i show stats that we have 70shots in 3 games but we lose all, how does that mean that all shots are goalbound? Smh.


Semi-solution-give these kids some game time abeg. That was how Curtis Jones got to where he is today. That is how Elliot started too. That's how nelli and Saka started. That's how Willock and Nelson and Niles did too. This man sef!! Isokay.


I'm saving my expectations to zero January incoming already. I prefer arsenal shock me with transfer incoming than vexing me thinking something dey come. Worked in last 5seasons for me.

folake4u:
Pele, baby boy.

That boy nor sabi play sha. I just dey laugh throughout today.

Arteta fvck up sha.

Folake you watched the game sha. Chai. Wetin i wan tok again 🤦🏿‍♂️😴

mostob:
If arsenal should sack Arteta tomorrow, which coach would you recommend to replace him?

Zidane and a hot of other more direct managers

Among the oldies i can point to just one
We can go to bundesliga too and see two possible ones. But pull will not be so easy.

The werey is just a wannabe copying his oga and can't implement a new plan of his own
You can call him a Dullard because he haven't done anything that have his signature especially if you get his plan he becomes completely clueless

Liverpool record at Emirates

Wins:4/5
Scored:11
Conceded:3


Scoring is indeed a big big bigger than anything problem for Arsenal.


Other additions


This was almost Team B of Liverpool. And Klopp still gave Youngsters big minutes and he's not even in ucl or europa.

TAA singlehandedly changed this game
Every time he comes near anything like setpieces, you fear for Arsenal. Same way Gundogan and KDB were whenever Arsenal played them.

Does Arsenal have solitary game changers that can make a bad night look like it never happened in just a few seconds of decisions making?

Answer: ABSOLUTELY NOT!! WE HAVE NONE.


1 win in 7
5th consecutive game that he's subbing Nketiah on


To come and do what exactly? Magic
Or make him the scapegoat of the full match cos he doesn't score??


I don't blame Kiwior one bit. I blame those foolish forwards all 3 of them. See how this one dey react to Kiwior. He better go get a finisher so those two young wingers will have less responsibilities

Leyqute:
You can't do that with Kai Havertz in your squad. And Kai must play, going by recent events.

If you know me well, you'll know I'm not a Kai fan and when i said what you boldened, it is not reverting without a proper 9 and some new recruits. Who kai epp?

Roland17:
Me sef I need goals, I need shots on goal.. I need them to try long range instead of this nonsense passing into the net. We don’t have clinical attackers, they are not efficient with their chances.

That was Xhaka. He wasn't replaced. Infact i think the manager, while seeking replacement, didn't even factor in that key aspect for a side that were top 3 in shots at goal last season. Now, 11 epl teams have shots at goal than us. That says alot. The sweetest shot at goal tonight was from White, hilariously.


My verdict: we need to revert back to some trad football. Let striker be striker and winger be winger and midfielder do their thing. We can't even get any pk these days smh

Team A Liverpool they no fit beat
Team B Liverpool they no fit score 1 against
No spark or trigger
No solo game changer
No urgency
No finishing
No regard for academy boys
Complacency has crept in and these boys feel they are starters because of no competition.

Roland17:
If I talk now dem go say na hate. Look at Liverpool's line up, look our own. He can't develop and integrate anything but other teams are using players from their academy to flog him.

He dare not blame Ramsdale o. Cos e sure me say if na Raya dey that post, Nunez for don score. Rams still got his top passes in him. But due to Kai nonsense, tactics don spoil. Foolish Manager.


Those academy boiz deserves minutes. They deserve 7minutes at least. What's doing this man? He is saying he doesn't have team B. Okay buy this January. Nothing we hear for window.


Foolish of him
Foolish of Saka
Worse for Kai
I don't even blame Kiwior.

iamoyindamola:
You saw the 2 boys klopp brought in the 80 mins at 0-0
Nwaneri they bench o since last season 😂😂

Klopp has always trusted those two. How will Klopp bring in 4 subs and get goal before Arteta gree to sub? And he's expecting the confidence of these u21 boys to climb when he can't trust them?? Dubbery and co. Imagine at our backyard o


Well we are on a 007 run. 008 next

😆😆😆😆

This man is the one causing more hate for Nketiah. He will do rubbish and then bring that young chap to come and play equalizer asif na Benzema or Osimhen. Smh.

You buy Trossard and Kai but trust Kai more than the Trossard that was balling steady at Brighton. Smh. Foolish and biased standards. The players gave their all last season. Now Arteta is about to fulfill the Nothing aspect all by himself. Big manager is bringing in academy boiz and this one still dey expect 80mins to knack before he bring any sub. 😂😂

Saka is trying hard to snatch foolish tag from Kai.

Roland17:
If you read closely, you will see where I said we have failed with our shooting and scoring. I am not sure why this team struggles with shooting.

Baba, I saw this Arsenal get pressed to death against this Liverpool, I saw Arsenal get overrun by Fulham where we couldn’t even string passed together and before that, I saw a shambolic performance against Westham that still annoys my soul. So when I see them playing better today in the first, I will take it.

I get you. It just that i don pass that level. Maybe na why e be like i dey dream. Cos some of these things aren't special again. We should be getting even better at finishing and scoring. That's what makes teams scared. The fear factor is out and 6ft under. Chai.


Now everyone realizes we super need a finisher. Our "everyone dey score" died a fast death.

Roland17:
Overall, I don’t think we played poorly in the first. We missed some chances but controlled the pace and tempo of the game. We need to be clinical in front of goal and continue to push them back.

That's has been the Arsenal norm.

We are always controlling tempo and pace without bite or result or threat. Haven't you noticed that? You shouldn't be seeing this as achievement again cos we all know that this doesn't come up as any major reasons for getting a W so far.

We control
They sit back
They counter
They give us the L
Nobody remembers the tempo controller or pacesetter.

Bite inside box naim we need. Infact, i will totally not mind if we are not controlling games but we are netting. Lol.

Gakpo pass to TAA, shoots once and ricochets off the bar

Odegaard passes to Kai, he takes two touches, allowes 4 space purple shirtsto block and takes a SpongeBob SquarePants shot at Allison. Not once not twice.


Saka can't even win 1v1 again. 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️
Nelson is helping defensively and that has made Rice to kinda play away from Kiwior. We go 5v3 situation and nothing go come out of it cos of that Kai!! Arteta's babydoll.

Been long we had such a player

Dey Bruyne is back and everyone is scared that city might take it again. We need such calibre.

Which player in our squad is/was close to this since 2020?

mostob:
You think anybody can just play Cks and Fks? So because Arnold is playing CKs for Liverpool, White should be taking CKs for us? Ok now.

I just want attackers in more attacking spots.

Let's see how it goes. This looks like half baked solution for now. Welcome regardless.


The religious section embargo is either applied for all religions or removed for level playing ground.


Pls return the usage of polls too. I believe they'll still serve a purpose for you overall.

Danielnino00:
Only Iheanacho isn't in camp . He will link up with the squad in Lagos on Tuesday

Nice. I really pray those Gks are drilled like say na World Cup. A large part of our progress depends on them.

mostob:
White? CK? Ok na

See pattern for other clubs. Na only us dey use wingers for corners in top 4. Strange really. Aside the inbox routine. White go dey disturb GK but no dey work again. Plus all 1st touch headers aren't threatening.😤

Jodera:
I don't know the sense behind that corner.
I mean, we play our corner at the near post where it's even the zone of opposition defenders. EPL defenders who are tall for that matter. It's like simply dashing them our corner kicks for them to counter us. No wonder it's only one corner we have scored since even though we're one of the teams that have the highest corners this season.
Little wonder we're mostly counter attacked after a corner

I don't think even not making Saka a corner kick taker will even work with that corner tactics that's sabotaging us.

It's really sabotaging us and the worst part is that we're doing the same thing over and over again expecting something different

Sigh!!😩

This. We became skilled in predictability. That's the theme of this season. Na Kai and Rice dey bring new air sometimes. Remove Rice and our GD go be +10. Guy has prevented 10goals when Raya flew to Pluto.

How many players never arrive camp?

mostob:
The one he won outside the box, how many were given as fouls. I recently watched the clip of fouls won by saka. The two most painful to me were those malicious kicks by Cucurella and Milner. Like, they left the ball entirely and kicked him hard yet none of the two were penalized.

I remember that game. Chai. Just a change. I think it will help him actually. Focusing on doing something new and getting super at it. They supposed dey train that white to dey take ck sef. 😤

Jodera:
Lol... I don't think this is feasible. For one, the few times we cross(during open play), how many times have he actually competed for headers?
When Martinelli or Trossard crosses from the opposite side, how many times have he scored header through corners?

Besides, our corner tactics is even bad sef(I've complained about it more than once this season)

My advise for this little tweak is that let Arteta switch both of them. Maybe during counter, it'll make Saka and Martinelli take a one time shot instead of looking for a cut in and shoot (something even a 5yr old boy already know will happen). And also, their crossing will be effective cos it'll be a low drive cross with their stronger foot instead of a cut and inswing cross. Faster decision making process to me.

We need something different!!

I just highlighted one of the things i want him to start doing for us. But the main aim is to change the corner routine. From biggest last season to struggling and it Kickstarting counters against us in last 5 games. Soo poor. A tweak is needed!

I just thought of something


Can we relieve Saka from Corner kick duties and make him be actually part of those jostling for a header in the box?

Reason being that he will easily win fouls that will lead to pk(since last season he's top 2 winners)

He may also start getting more goals in the long run. Either this or he rotates it.

Shey Jpes fit use Inverted fbs style like this?

Since i began reading Complete Sports when it was 20Naira, till now that I'm getting old, I have never seen a Nigerian Ref make it to international repute. That's a span of more than 2decades. Are these guys cursed or unambitious? 5 women refs at Afcon and Nigeria can't even boast of at least one rep. One rep is enough. See as Southern Africa dey carry the thing for head like say na FIFA trophy



Something needs to be done. And please, don't bring some news about "they are trying"

Don't bring 4th official gist too.

😤😤😤

Tierney allegedly said he no dey return to Emirates. Lovely.
No gree for anybody.
