Deep down, i wish Ejuke and Orban were in this team. But wishes are not horses always. Pes go tok another thing if asked him directly 😂

Can Pes use 4123 ever? This seems to be the setup of the top teams going into this Afcon. Then ball playing GK as well.

Who has the best 1st touch in this current squad like this?

Who has the best shot accuracy among our midfielders and Fullbacks?

What's our setpieces tactics?

Who will be the new Victor Moses?

As for me, i believe football is too entertaining to simple have 100% players that will play to you instructions, esp when such players are key to getting results. If you have 11 robots that can't do things their own way at least for 15% of total 90mins, then wahala dey.

We need such players back at emirates. Klopp doesn't even shout like that on the touchline lately. Not even Emery.He just watches, observes and does his subs if he notices any backtracking. And he trust his small boys too.

KDB is back. All he needs is a touchline moment with Pep to hear what Pep wants to tweak. He does the rest himself. Saka and Nelli don't need to be waiting for MA to tell them to switch before they do. I believe the switching with ruin the man markings both are facing lately.

This is off-point sorry. Far from the main matter. The issue is should Arteta be excluded from future transfer dealings? Like the board should be the one buying players for him instead?
We all know he can't be excluded. Why is that even a question to start with? So it is a non-issue.

Boehly bought a lot of players for the coach, how has that ended up? You want them to sidetrack the coach who is going to develop the tactic and see how players fit in?

What some of you ain't understanding is that transfer can be hit or miss. Jesus, Zinchenko, Partey, Rice, White, Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, Timber were all signed by Arteta just so you know.

Na emotional talk nothing else abeg.
You still dey tok of tactics🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Shey you no go happy at least if dem spend 1bn on Arsenal in a transfer Window or two? You think Arteta no wan spend despite looking like he has players.

Give him that money and watch him get 7-9 players that will fit his so called tactics. Tactics wey carry us from 1st to 4th and 5th if we no wake up? It's not emotional talk. It is seeing things repeating despite saying you've learnt from it. You sef go happy die if boehly na Arsenal owner. But despite the 1bn available, we no go waste am compared to how Chelsea did. Fact!!

But we need it. Infact Arsenal need to have 3 windows with quality and experienced incoming for once. Goan check the windows and you'll miri for our recruitment. No consistency.

Should we complain? Totally.
Who wouldn't. It is a COMPETITION.

I support any move against Morocco right now. What they do to blacks is exactly anti-rights. They do it back to back without any fear of backlash. They should take several seats back from the crowd on this one. SA or any other member should take it.

Sincere question


How will you rate Arsenal Recruitment in the last decade 2014-present vs Liverpool and Tottenham.


What's this nonsense considering of Cucurella i just saw? Is Arteta cursed with love of Chelsea players or what?


Two questions. But the 1st is my main focus. E get why.

The way he talks is like he doesn't know what he's doing with this team.


It is an entirely different thing if these players decide to take things into their hands and make this coach look good las las. But for now, lower expectations. 1st game should show us how tactically prepared he is for the likes of senegal, Egypt and Morocco in KO stages. Till then

Bro, I am not South American and can’t speak for them. But, ask yourself if you have ever seen Lionel Messi or Cristiano playing street football in Lisbon or Buenos A years after becoming a professional? Or even tweeting unnecessarily and doing skits? If our players want to become revered they must realize that talent/hard work isn’t enough and they must realize that Professionalism, seriousness, dedication is equally as vital as talent if they want to have a career like Cristiano. Ronaldo has shown footballers the blueprint/epitome of longevity and success and it’s up to us to do it
Na only Cr7 and Messi waka come? Ronaldinho? Hulk? Kaka? Suarez? Pele? Forlan? Rodriguez? Eto'o? Weah? Yekini? Should i go on. Cos say those two no dey do am no mean say everyone else go follow body.

I'm just saying your reason no gel. Dazalll!!

Get well soon boni. I have informed our players to desist and stay away from a certain crowd when they’re ascending career wise but they don’t listen. Why would you even be playing in a low quality turf alongside your childhood friends with impunity. Do you realize the danger and implications of such? I hope that, this is a lesson to our upcoming superstars on the importance of professionalism, discipline and seriousness. Enough is enough. Get well soon boniface
Haba!!! So what do you say about the South Americans that do same and nothing happens to them? And you know they do that alot.

From my perspective loosing to Guinea 2 in a important Friendly, is good news.

From failure success is created and made.

We will go into this tournament knowing we have a lot of work to do not over confident but with dogged determination knowing any mistake will be punished.

It stops the any ego trips based on past glories.

The HARD WORK ethic will now be instilled ,no room for error
That is IF THEY FEEL THAT WAY as you just opined. If they don't, na fan analysis we just dey harp on.

Excuses some people here give for rubbish football games, they won't take such if it were their football clubsthat they support o. Is it a virus to be winning friendlies and winning in tournament proper? Is such back2back run of form a taboo for the Nigerian national teams since 2000s? Are you not tired to be the only national in Africa consistently using that silly excuse for the national team? Besides, the inference from that shows we are clowns. Yes!!

We should win friendlies is such a taboo that if we win them and can't replicate in afcon, you'll say they overdo.

If dem lose friendly and win in tournament, you'll be beating your chest that "they think say na friendly we come do here!"


Up the standards abeg. Demand more.
They should be balling approximately to the standards not blowing hot and/or cold when it matters.

Okay at what point did Balogun have more prospect than Nketiah? Is it at the U-21 level for the national team or U-21 level for the club called Arsenal ?

It gives a hint of actual readiness for afcon proper. Why wouldn't we cry? The excuse used to support this one is always the previous ones but that doesn't mean we will be lucky or it will happen again that we have to start accepting it as Our Norm. Naaaah.

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😒😒😒

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.
