Even if we must drop points, this SIWES like decision making that seems like Sabotaging shouldn't be the order of the day after 6 years of IT.... Not knowing scale of preferences or Priorities after 6 years is Gross Misconduct...

We should be able to move forward from Near-It tag....

Those comfy with top spot think its secured. Until that May nothing is.

My own is where was that ruthlessness we used to tear Villa apart for that loss? Where did it go to?

They just said they will or want to drop more points going forward in order to shame Apari with trophyless again 🤣🤣🤣🤣..... God abeg

With this Mentality, it would be a Miracle / Lucky to bring back the club golden days...

🚨Burnley have scored against Liverpool, yet Arsenal couldn’t manage even one goal against them.

🔸️Arteta often shows too much respect to big teams, and I hope it doesn’t cost us.

🔸️Look at the intensity with which Manchester United attacked City today — if it were Arteta, he would likely play it safe instead.
We need to stop over-respecting top teams and be more ruthless. That’s exactly why we have squad depth.

Copied

No more line breaking pass and we know the guy that has 8GA before Odegaard return was doing the breaking through.

we are top of the league not only because we are doing our part but because rivals also are dropping form and we aren't capitalizing. Until they don't

They say he overtake Liverpool 6 points lead, so we should him for that by praising him for throwing / Sabotaging away 9 points lead...

When we were dropping points last season, Liverpool kept on winning that at a time e reach 14 points gap between us... We should be happy or be contended it's 7 points instead of 11

Come on....

Last season draw soup ruined everything. 13 abi 14 draws. I still cringe when i see that.

Team get full squad, they leave gap. We get squad but we dey drop points. No mind them. Those are fans that are comfy with status quo. Champion mentality is alien to such level of rigidity or comfort.

These English fans are more crazier than us in naija. They speak it as it is.

Many are posting run of games without odegaard where na Ws full am and the run of games with him. Big difference dey.

Im on an X space right now and im just laughing. Some stuff i didn't even notice...

Apart from that time he forgot to mark his man, I think that was when the bench started

It's how they try to blame the player when he's rusty after some time on the bench and starting players that should be riding bench but absolve Teta of the blame

Even if Arteta will cook towards the end, it doesn't wave away our current concerns. Like small gbasgbos and see the managers losing their jobs around us. Even Slot dey fear right now. For me the problem is this dropping deep to collect ball that Odegaard does. He will colet it and still be useless alongside the ball he collected. So what's the advantage of that?

Abi they should lure Iwobi from Fulham ni? grin

Guy even defends better.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by daveP(m): 12:09am On Jan 18

Its like every since Odegaard started going on Injury, he comes back worse than his last available time. E no easy truly but if we wan run away with title, he needs a rival. We either jump into this market or accept to warm haram football from him.

Me sha dunno how to pretend. Some may complain in game week 30 but me, I'll say it now.
Yeah you're right actually. I just have to say it how it is. After all we dey call out Odegaard sef

Now that you pointed it out sef, what's the matter with Arteta and Eze and nobody should say it's tactics cause ordegard has been shit since his return from injury and Eze wan't so bad when he came to have been coming on in the 70 mins of the game now

Maybe the guy did something that Arteta adviced against and hence the warming of bench as discipline. Cos its definitely not injury and arteta is seeing Odegaard is worse(or maybe he doesn't. Na we fans Dey probably see am)

Soon we go dey complain of Rusty dusty as MLS and Nwaneri are right now.

You want me to pat mediocrity on the back for job well done? No, I don't do that....

Am a Fan not a Stan, notes the difference then you know me....

That's my problem with that side. They forget how resilient our rivals are. How will you already know what your opponent is capable off(City, Liverpool) but what they see what you're capable of is slipping off and increasing the excuses? They don't have that mental situation where "once arsenal stay top at so so and so game week, they've won the league. It's for slipping and sliding. That's see finish!!

We should be grateful cos we are top now? We've dropped 4points cos the last 2 teams dont deserve a point whatsoever but here we are. Players overall might be getting comfy cos manager isn't showing signs of change in approach. It's evident. We need to do better. Arteta needs to do better. Goalless twice??

Lol

I think w need to drop this POV where we absolve blame on Arteta. The buck stops with him. In football, one can see when its players messing up and when it is the manager messing stuff up overall. How can a manager on an ALL Or NOTHING marathon vs Pep and Emery refuse to take advantage of slip ups? If you lack creativity how is Eze on the bench but Merino comes on? What's the crux with Eze. Rival fans are seeing the abysmal dispay by Odegaard b2b. But he keeps getting the spot. That's a blame on the manager especially as that spot has more than 1. If Odegaard is consistent with his rubbish but Arteta is not reacting enough. Kai came back and see what he said. He neer speaks on Odegaard. Let him enjoy his meltdown.

Many thing people complain but there's a level of Consistent with him and Gyokores in last few games. Naso MLS go drop ni? Same for Nwaneri? Arteta wake up pls. Change what needs to be changed with approach to attack.

Honestly now I wish CIV made it to the final to face Morocco so they will get their own taste of the medicine they also served us in the last finals.

All these talk of they were the better side we for know whether na true or not!

na even for q/final dem for jam sef i think. They got their chance and luck joined. Same with how Argentina won France.

World cup slot will make us forget all of this in a jiffy. But i also hope we go like we mean it. We need to do it better than Keshi's 2013 led set.

Onuachu got to touch the ball, yes or no? Onuachu is the designated penalty taker for his club and his been taking pens for years, yes or no? Samu has never taken a professional penalty, yes or no? U have to consider all factors.

This one no gel. Many players are not pk designated at their respective clubs but they stepped up on national duty. Find a new one for chuks. Besides many of the actual ones that have good record didn't step up to take

Bravery is one thing
Nonchalance is another

U17 of Yemi Tella boys used more than 2 hours to prepare for pk and all were great with practice las las. Yes that stage is less but let's not act like na cos e no dey take pk.

Overall, the mata don taya me sef.

Anyone expecting Senegal to revenge on our bequarter are wasting time. They did all that to Nigeria and na Senegal wey go miss 3 players dem no go do am to?

Just forget, this is the peak KissAs Afcon. Morocco will lift their thing. Infact the wafcon too, the women team will win it too. Complete sweep. Lol

This Egypt game is inconsequential. Let the team B get afcon minutes abeg. The only reason they might want to win Egypt is cos Chelle go need something to put for CV. Else, let Egypt just take 3rd place. We have too many already.

They don't care one bit. Even the most reliable and formidable North African team has to use wayo to win on home soil. Shows how big the west team are lately. Tunisia and Algeria better return to the drawing board. They're in denial mode right now. Kudos to CIV once again. Making Africa proud without stain

This very game is enough to make me cross to that dreaded side of what many of us will tag conspiracy theories. It reeks of it. No need to be uncomfortable saying it out. That was no game. That was a staged play. A puppet show with a master eager to do the needful. When i saw that stat that said Morocco did the most fouls in the entire group stage(48) and got just 1 yellow card, i knew they will favour them all the way. Now they did 24 vs Nigeria and didn't get 1 called for a card? Over 16vs Cameroon too.

This is no AFCON.

This is season feem!!

So entitled they sued the wafcon final ref. 😂😂😂

I wish Nff can be that petty though.

Chukwueze finished us. It was a key moment. We had the momentum. Like Goke7 said Morocco was there for the taking. If he had scored, Morocco would have been under immense pressure, the kind that makes a man piss in his pants. They would have possibly lost another penalty

That pk look like deliberate sabotage. Those guys don't deserve anything. The brought their full force and still couldn't crack up apart. Nigeria is indeed the superior team between the two.

Imagine if we wanted to really pinch them cos to me it looked like we were deliberately hibernating too.

The reason this loss is not getting the typical Nigerian noise is because Nigeriand saw the passion, intention and attitude of these players every game, doen to yesternight's.

Now, you're saying yadayada about not harping on Chukwueze but till tomorrow, you still never forgive Ikpeba and Yakubu for their misses.

We know it is pk and "anyone can miss" but guys did you see the nonchalant attitude of Chuks before that pk and the way his body was easy to read by Bono? Naija fans have changed o. It's only on social media dem dey take now. Go try sm with South American football fans now.

We all scream down Nwabali neck. But he has proven himself in Pks and yet one or two teammates always let him down. ALWAYS.

Swap Nwabali with Enyeama or Ikeme and see how your stance will change to actually calling out Chuks for the rubbish he kicked yesternight.

Overall, this team needs to step up in Pk. We can't even beat chest and point our best takers in years. Same problem persist with the female national team and they've still not addressed it.
