You can all see why I won't rate this nelson
Lens defense were resolute abeg. Nelson didn't have space to enact any speedy or fast and furious. It would have been worse with Nelli cos while he may have more sense guy will waste balls or overkicking. This was a game that we needed an Ozil. This was a game that our opponent put up a wall at our best attacking style. This was a game we needed to do something out of the blues, something unusual from the style. Unfortunately we couldn't cos we don't have such player. That one experienced player that will not be so mobile but will be a terror to such a defense. Lens defended welll.

Im so happy for one reason. This Arteta can see how his team looks lifeless in attack without a Saka. It also looks terrible without a Partey defensively. I hope it makes him sit up in decision making. Especially as the Saka signs were there


The Nelson win is not working. We need split thru passes. Thus left to right possession is not working abeg. I take the L

I am disappointed some of you are just realizing and talking about this. I have been on this table since Arteta became coach on how he is managing Saka.

No manager who has the health of the player in mind would start Saka today but not Arteta. Every season Arteta runs this kid to the ground. He features him even when we can afford not to.

Do you know the number of consecutive games Saka has played for Arsenal?
Roland, look who you quote o. Shey you don forget who dey complain about burnout on this very thread ontop saka mata ni? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Since last season Bournemouth game, even upper season. Lol. Check well abeg. No be me you wan quote.

Same here. We better don't risk it once KO stages start. He will have to sit out some league games for important UCL KO games. He needs rest. The irony is other teammates are getting their rests without injury concerns, but not Saka. Any long injury, God forbid, may be a big deal o.
Risking Saka against Lens when the City game was the obvious more important match has show the senseless side of Arteta's thinking. Smh. He better start using his excuse on Ramsdale drop to spread across all players. Imagine!!

Their equalizer was inevitable. All times they attacked, they got a shot at goal. They score after 5 shot at our goal, the capitalizing on zinch wing paid off. 1st Raya error.

On the flip side, the team needs to blend too. I think JP knows the players "he" wants to use. Apart from injuries, Bana knows his first 23 and arguably his first 11.
Truly. Since he already knows his tactical approach, all he needs is to try out the new legs and see how well they blend in to his pleasure or if they can offer new ideas that will amplify advantage to the team. They should be arranging 2 friendlies monthly till the D-day.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by daveP(m): 3:01pm On Oct 03, 2023
These two friendlies are not supposed to be for 1st team XI to me. They supposed to be used to test run at least 4new faces per game. Aribo should not start any abeg. I look forward to seeing what Fisayo does. To ke, if he impresses, team Nwakali should just forget it since 1st impressions work on JPes. I hope Adeleye keeps.we should even be opting for a new formation as well. We need it. Let's see how well we can build from the back cos i wasn't impressed the last time i saw it.

A lot of the english teams bar very few are currently on an all white team basis now. No room for black people. Heck, even their own black british women find it hard to break into WSL at the moment.

If you are not a white blonde woman, no space for you in the WSL at the moment grin

Its not a conspiracy theory. Look at France and spain, with the sheer amount of black women all over their league, compared to England

The authorites in England are desperate to keep the league as white as possible, subcontiously.
Very funny unwritten rule if this is true. Or maybe the blacks feel they'll get brighter chances away.

Arteta rewarded a nobody witha starting spot in the XI and some fans have been trying so hard to explain his inclusion away to no avail.


It's totally illogical and foolish to me to just bring someone with an underwhelming season at former CLUB STRAIGHT into XI of a team that almost won the EPL with discipline in play and compactness and telepathic synergy. Said player doesn't even have it. Each day passes and when you look at those warming bench for this inclusion, you just but can't admit that something is wrong with Arteta for this particular inclusion. Safe to admit, he may be that robotic player the modern manager loves for following every instruction on pitch, but we all know, especially quoting Le Prof, why that alone is detrimental to the round leather game.


This is wasted funds. A Maddison would have been waaaaaaay better and would have reignited Ramsey memories, even more. But... 😤😤😤😤

What a time for Osimhen. Too many bottlenecks to juggle. The buck lies with him. He controls the narrative. Napoli messed up.


Swap him with any of Lukaku, Tammy, Balotelli, and any other black player and the nonsense some are talking on here will be exposed las las. What was done was totally wrong and he deserves to react to that, especially in that kind of environment. He's also pivotal and can't be easily dismissed, even makes it advantageous to him.

Akpabio stadium is a real artistry designed so national stadium can’t meet up no matter the renovations but good to have it back even if it’s for NPFL matches.
The aerial view is doing me one kind. They should just remove that National from it. Build something more modern, latest tech and attractive that befits Lagos State. Urghhhh!

Lagos and infrastructure lately though!!! Eyesore.

He's very young and rightfully so. A bigger club and manager will refine him. I like him like that. Just decision making in final third that's a p to me. The rest are okay. Can only get better. Terrorize that defence that night singlehandedly.
