Roland17:
We don’t look like a team that wants to win the EPL.

We are just crawling at this point.

11 shots
2 on target 😑😑😑

We doing like we gats enter this box before we shoot. Smh

Zubi fans are waiting for a terrible KO game before they accept the obvious. This is jot even a top 6 team but Rice, MLS and now Eze are falling to do his job. Smh


Gyokores na fuu for that yellow

They don score us😥

Nana wey Eze come he don intercept pass Zubi.

White
Kai
Jesus
Trossard


These 4 are finished abeg. Especially that Trossard.

solonnachi:
U17 Flamingos list

Harmony Chidi is back👍
Queen Joseph also good

Allow +4 +6 players in but make a babyface teen the face of the team-the usual format strikes again.


We can't even get a goalkeeping prospects that even naysayers will point to as Nnadozie heiress-apparent.

Even Ozioma sef, she is off radar to me. What happened?

Spurs in relegation zone nanana. Sunderland and Xhaka suppose waya dem wetin no good today

iamoyindamola:
What of kepa and raya then odegaard

Dem suppose dey too. I just listed the usual suspects😆

germaphobe:
the source i read from said it was to show and chant their names in order to raise their confidence. Arteta go just sey bring wierd options.

Haaa. Another one😆😆😆

The error showing one sounds more useful sha. But I won't push this one away too. Yeye things dey happen for that training 🤣🤣

Is it truth Arteta mounted a large screen in training to show players their terrible mistakes from start of season and what they need to improve on?


Zubimendi, white and Odegaard go hearam be dat😂😂😂😂

Schemerkhiz:
Since all this issues, Madugu have never come out to demand for better preparation for team or talk about the players pay or even his own Salary that haven’t been paid…

A Foreign Coach will demand for the whole team better Welfare as Randy did during his tenure..

Thomas Dennerby the same..

Only Rasheedat Ajibade & Chiamaka Nnadozie have came out to speak up, for this two players NFF will definitely be scared to drop any because the whole Nigeria will ask questions..

Maybe Esther Okoronkwo and Alozie can also speak up.

Madugu is making me extend this "handler" tag to all local coaches with national team jobs right now.


Nowhere has this man spoken up for terrible preparation towards Wafcon. He's there with Olowookere and the new coach of the u17. These are not coaches to me. They are there because they kowtow to bosses always and can't demand responsibility sotey captain and vice have to.


We need to do better. The fact that we've not played a top tier team since he took over proves that Randy Effects for friendlies was a thing.

iamoyindamola:
At this point I will prefer Barca than Atletico
We have played Atletico before and the way PSG reorganise to beat us in the knockout stage H/A I don't want to meet Atletico again

It will be some merry-go-round tale if we jam barca and triumph enroute to this final.


That means we've gone round the Laliga giants under 2 seasons in the KO stages.

Simeone gave Lookman defensive duty to double up on Yamal and that mad him unLookman but it paid off. I expect him to release him 2nd leg sha. Anyone that comes, we suppose ready.


Alvarez and Lookman will be jokers for any team. I don't want to imagine Lookman vs White. Or Cala vs Yamal. Noni and Martinelli will have to get some duties at the back to frustrate.

Lets finish the Lisbon tie sha.

This raises new concerns. For the past and the present so it doesn't repeat.

That club has a record of cheating and shortchanging vs London clubs.


Naah this is no coincidence. Shuuu


He saved EVERY SHOT prior to that final with Barca that didn't play anything till that red card??

No clean sheet for Barca in 14 consecutive UCL games.


Make e no kon reach our turn and we go pause that record o. Ehen. That's if Alvarez doesn't show in 2nd leg sef. It looks more like Atletico at this point.

MSGAMBLE9:
I laughed when I see people called out Zubi, I remember Rodri faced the same when he came in vis-a-vis Toure... Even with those 2 you mentioned Rice has never had the numbers he is having now with Zubi, 2nd only behind Bruno in chances created in EPL despite Zubi allegedly limiting him 🤣🤣🤣🤣, that he (Rice) is the odd favourite now for PFA Award and 4th in Balloon d'Or power ranking...

When it's comes to his (Zubi) job as a DM, he's leading the League in Interceptions and second ball, he even has more successful long passes than all our midfielders combined despite allegedly playing safe 🤣🤣🤣...

His tactical knowledge is acknowledged and captured better in this link...

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c2lr9rp9q12o

Lol. With Partey, Rice was doing great with Chances created and his Balon d'Or ranking proved that too. You can fly with any other levels but not this "Zubi made Rice a better player" one abeg. It's really Hilarious. We all can see how terrible Zubi is at his job versus big clubs and how it gives Rice EXTRA duties at the back.

Zubi gives the panic jibe when we play top 6.

His duty is he made Rice better but every time he's watched, he's caught ball watching for up to 10 goals from opponents, aside the erroneous passes?

Okay

Just watched one one anti-Gyokores guy talk about that offside goal. Guy vexed for his positioning but also admitted that we don't play such direct way so he wasn't necessarily expecting the ball. The least person i was expecting to cook excuses for him. This season, na only Eze and Trossard don give am such direct passes like Gabriel did all season down the middle.


Raya should be having PFA POTS shout out right now. He should also be in Balon d'Or ranking this season.



Im sure meeting Barca might be giving Arteta sleepless nights right now, but i won't be surprised if Atletico pull a shocker. Lookman might come crazy.

Fkforyou:
Because of him Rice is no longer doing the box crashing like he used to do before.

Rice is being over worked at this point.

I tell you. There's nobody that missed Jorg and Partey like Rice right now. Those two imo offered more to his overall fluid multitasking abilities than Zubi. He's now cautious cos e dey fear for zubi.

Fkforyou:
Omo! Zubimendi Dey play rubbish for Arsenal.

Ben White also needs to fvck off.

COYG!!

E get the kine way player go play vs EPL teams oerson go easily conclude if such player go ball vs UCL teams. Zubi no give such vibes one bit. Make Arteta just allow Norgaard get rhythm abeg.

At this point, let's just say the RHS of Arsenal's xI is now a liability. It used to be the LHS we used to complain about. But as White, Saka and Odegaard that used to ball then are now in shadow mode, we can't but conclude in like manner. If anything at all, a fit Timber alone will still b mid with Saka and Odegaard playing ahead of him. I'm glad Dowman is here to bring something different cos Noni ehn....

Roland17:
I don’t like it. It makes absolutely no sense for me. Calafiori inverting means Rice had to cover the left side while Zubi continues to push forward.

I don’t like how we have continued to sacrifice Rice’s attacking quality to accommodate Zubi’s defensive frailties. Zubi is the one that is supposed to provide that cover if Arteta is choosing to invert his LB, but we all know he is horrible under pressure.

Sounds familiar

Granit Xhaka role when Zinchenko dey. 😆

Same parents on Facebook: Thunder faya whoever wan steal my spotlight. Holy Ghost fire.


A day to highlight excellency of kids in extra curricular activities turn to a fest of shameless adults that are low on SI and EI.

iamoyindamola:
Lauren James deserve red too, that girl be behaving like person with brain touch it was even McCabe trying to tell her to calm down while ref giving her last warning.
The match is very annoying because we deserve something, women's football is somehow sha because at 85 minutes we had chances to finish them off our women were passing around or wasting time

The thing with the officiating in women's football is the book is still undergoing adjustment based on female behaviours. That's how i see it. Yeah LJ too stamped and all that but i wonder why one of the best players in the game need to take such route whenever on the losing side. Its like Messi and Ronaldo turning to Gattuso whenever they losing. 😂😂😂


As for katie, she dey vex me. Na agbero she be but she's got a black spot on her now. Ref go too frustrate am till she mellow. She doesn't need those nonsense tantrums or moves. LJ has caused a problem for herself and her legacy now. She doesn't need such foolishness thinking camera won't catch her. She must be dumber than i imagined to keep thinking it will be replayed and intent won't be found.

Bompastor carry evidence go post match press conference sha. I love that audacity. It can't happen in men's football. She don colet red so she decided to go all out and call out VAR


Katie McCabe is a foolish player. That was enough to earn a red. Hair pull so strong it made that Chelsea player jacked and fell. Uefa will be so embarrased with Bompastor call out that Katie will bear the brunt of that silly move in the semis. Just watch.


Wubben Moy though. One minute she's clearing the ball from the goalline and next min she is caught ball watching as a slow cross comes in to Nusken.


Lyon will be tougher than Wolfsburg sha.

Katie don attract unnecessary attention now. She rush go IG go apologize. Smh

lbrichman2:
I feel this is a little bit harsh on Nwabali

You said Elite. That's the disagreement. Wcq and Afcon so far. Not harsh. Just stating the obvious wrt those that were between the sticks before his emergence.

lbrichman2:
Sanchez still dey for Cooler
Omo

Anyway, Nwabali, Okoye and Uzoho are a decent group, if not elite elite

Elite ke? Enyeama was consistent for all the World cups and afcons he went to. These ones na just flash and no World cup still

Tailors go cash out heavy for this kine event. Some for don see 100k or more depending on the classism involved

It's a shame this era of Nigerian Goalkeepers faded off into oblivion. See better headache for Spain Coach.

Sotey na Uzoho dem dey call back.

iamoyindamola:
I prefer esther okonkwo
She can unlock stubborn defense if mariona is choking

Uhmmmm. You cooking o. She's suitable for WSL.

iamoyindamola:
Can AWFC sign caicedo from Madrid and let mead go

Michelle Agyemang dey o. But i no go lie, Oyo for who no wan sign for Arsenal Women right now. We are the hot cake destination as it stands in europe. Chelsea is falling apart. Wolfsburg in hibernation mode. Barca dey but they choke.

Personally i wish Caicedo can arrive sha. Madrid no be am. I also wish a cadet player from Nigeria can sign for Arsenal. Most likely Moshood.

mostob:
Haa.. Yes. Musiala. But I don't think he will want to come o. Remember there's Eze and Odegaard in his spot. Ethan is also coming back and there's Dowman.

I doubt the last two will make him doubt playing time. But he can also pair one of Eze/Odegaard as the two together no dey gel IMO. Merino can fill in the Kai position cos for middle i no too gbadun am. Overall, a loaded squad with middle choke offers our rigid mnager a chance to tweak things faster than ever. We don't even need Saliba and Gabi to hold the ball more than midfielders again with these new arrivals.

mostob:
In Doue and Barcola, PSG has replacements. There's Lookman to replace Julian. Newcastle has Bruno, Joelington, Ramsey and Willock.

Getting these 3 shouldn't be difficult. The fund?

White, Jesus, Trossard, Martinelli...

Definitely. Then if possible, lure Musiala here. That injury halted things. I really wished we got Lookman though. He's Sanchezic. Can turn a game on its head. B2b big games he's shown its easy for him. We have no such player in our setup although we have done quite well so far.

iamoyindamola:
I use to be hopeful and anticipating Barca but with the recent performance Omo they will paste us wetin no good

Barca really in form right now. I prefer Atletico in Semis. Cos....


I saw some tweets from Arsenal fans of Kai and Trossard calling them out for being useless on Sunday. A Man U fan even did a tactical clip of how the two were terrible to the entire setup. Omo dem plaster Rice wetin no good too. Lol.


I hope this Eze calf issue is not the excuse this year sha. I
