The all balls to Saka is ruining this game. He hasn't won any aerial challenge in 45mins. Our best chance was that Partey chance. If i were him, i won't play it like i did vs Spurs, I'll change the angle to the other side of the net. I think Partey is doing both DM and LB. I don't understand what I'm seeing with White one bit. And it's funny cos Grealish is yet to come alive actually. Holding has done just okay to me. But those rubbish tackles may earn a red in 2nd half.


Gabriel should stop turning 360 when facing Haaland/kdb. That's absolutely poor defending.

For Enyimba, there's Abia Angels... Remo Stars is a private club,but I'm sure they will get a way to create a female team... As for Plateau, although it isn't a core northern state, I have to point out that women football isn't really a thing in the north like that... Nassarawa Aamzons are the only northern female club side I know of...
Let's see how the Northern teams step up. Kano Pillars suppose to at least have a female team. I haven't heard if they got one.

......she has slowed down, there was a particular play in the last friendly that we won 3-0 that she was caught a little high of the pitch and the the opponent took her on, she could not catch up, cant remember who finally made the interception. See the mind is willing, but at that stage, the body might have a mind of its own not to be as quick to respond. I will expect her to honorarily say goodbye after the world cup, because these same set of fans that are tolerant now, can call for your head at the slightest mistake.
Especially now that our last 3 wwc has been cause majorly by mistakes. When are we going to get a showing at the mundial that silly mistakes wont be the reason for poor performance? I can't risk it. Simple! Maybe the pace of the players we'll be meeting has not been watched and looked at, thus the support for her. I keep saying i can mention over 6 in our group alone that will cause trouble for our defense with just pace alone. I never add flair or positioning or stamina o. Just pace. I'm tired of these factors ruining our mundial outing.

When did she show u that she was no longer good enoughhuh Making a mistake is different from being out of place. Onome Ebi has showed absolutely no sign of losing it. She doesn't have a team so obviously there will be a little rust but even with that the woman is still balling.

I bet u can't give me a legitimate reason for ur negativity outside talking bout her age. Anyone saying she has lost pace never watched her because she has never been a speed demon.
She is still one of the best defenders that can pass the ball. Nobody doubts that.


However, my angle is dependent on the quality of the opposition we will be facing at the wwc. And i hold on to that. We should not risk it. Simple!!

Her and SA Janine Wyk are in same situation. Wyk still sabi 1 or 2 better than her current replacement. But Ellis , a coach that knows better, can't risk it. How that is now seen as negativity is what I don't get. How did you arrive that conclusion. So all of us saying same about Chikwelu are now negative?

Wat I don't like is once she makes a mistake people will start crying retire. I agree with her, I don't see any signs that she has slowed down. My only issue is this no team matter.
If you see the pace of the attackers that our team will face at the World Cup alone, you would not want her to start any game for us cos it is super risky. If she doesn't feel it, it doesn't mean she can't be a weak link in the teamplay. Our friendlies should not make us not accept reality of what we going to face st the WWC.

You don't see signs? 😂😂😂


If you watched when her and Oluehi were regulars, you'll understand that there's a big big difference. She comes slightly behind Chikwelu for how dip in form and what they offer is. Haba na!

When you see the likes of antony and Mudryk get 100m tag, i don't think you should be bothered or think it is exaggeration for jay Jay Okocha to be worth 150m in today's eval. He will be worth 150m. This is not about being nigerian.



There are thousands of wack, untalented boys across Europe right now that are priced 60-90m and they have not even won nothing. Their stats, not conclusive, does not even help matters.

The fact remains he will be worth close to that. If many watch Johan Cruyff now, you won't want to agree that in today's eval, he will be worth more than Messi and Ronaldo, Neymar. But that is the fact!! You don't need to be super talented to be worth above 100m in todays market. That's the bottom line. But JJ was talented.


C'est fini.


We can agree we didn't see much again, especially in GWG. But that doesn't take away that fact that he will. Many Transfer crew of clubs watch compilations of average players and put price shapali cos of that. Pray, tell me, if you see JJ's compilation, you no go shock??


And this is not me being patriotic.

Any player who goes to Arsenal should and always take cognisance of the academy. In fact be very afraid of the Arsenal Academy.

There are small boys waiting to disgrace big boys with huge transfer fees and bench them.

Every year Arsenal has boys knocking on the first team door always and a few are Nigerian origin.

Consider Nathan Tella released by Arsenal now the best winger in the Championship soon to be tested in the EPL.

Can anybody say that Chukwueze is comprehensively better than him❓ EPL will rate players on consistent quality end product. Not dribbling and show boating and playing to the gallery as we do mostly.
Arsenal's u18 right now are not getting enough media hype. Alot is going on at the academy truly. They are too many that playing spot is not even guaranteed again.

As for Chuks vs Saka, the truth remains that if we want to use stats, if Chuks had it less, people will use that to conclude saka is better. Chuks have it more now, but nobody wants to conclude.

Chuks scored against Madrid and Bayern. Saka is yet to score again big teams in european football nights. Saka has totally showed up for country, why Chuks is as good as nothing in the GWG right now. One may want to refer to his injury. But he's doing quite well at Villa.


Saka has carried his team maany times singlehandedly
Chuks is yet to shoulder that responsibility as far as i know.


Its a close one but I'll take one performing for club and country.

Most of the Brazilian players will be experienced first team players from the Brazilian league some with stupendous high value transfers wanted by the creme de la creme of European top clubs.

Not players playing youth football struggling to break into the first team at what are far from quality clubs.
Anything can happen sincerely. Our cadet history so far is exactly upsetting other top teams with players from club academies in spain, france argentina, etc.

Just that this time, the setting is wack and all time low.

Do arsenal really need him? With saka on board,I doubt
Saka..this Saka can't play all 58matches next season. He needs a competition or at least someone that would be lethal and allow him sit games out. He's definitely suffering from burn out imo. If Chuks is their target though.... Hmmm. I for pick Olise. But na Arteta sabi wetin he want.

I just don't understand the body language. Asif dem use dying minutes to curse arsenal. Cos what's with all these rubbish wake up by 88mins. It's high time Teta tells saka and nelli to switch wingers every 15mins. As far as I'm concerned, they've hacked them both, especially Saka. Two bodies on them both frees up centre spaces. And among the top 6 this season alone, we are 6th for teams that utilize centre spaces. That says alot about our attack approach.

Trossard should start vs City. Let Nelli come on in 2nd half and cause problems with pace for the City high line. I wonder why Teta still no wan give this Trossard 90mins. This guy has show what he can offer, diff from the norm at crucial moments of the game. City have 6points to grab. Arsenal lead with 5. Teta pls take to Thomas Partey. Plsssss. He's has lost the ball 8times in the 3 draws we've had, in very dangerous spots. Another draw and Rob Holding is not at fault once again. Make people complaining look for new scapegoat abeg


Ramsdale
Partey
Zinchenko

All 3 goals due to errors/loss of concentration during setpieces. That far angle that Lyanko scored from, we've conceded about 5 goals in last 8games from there.

We should work on their two fullbacks ; get the ball to saka and Martinelli more ….We should get them in a position they can’t risk fouling saka and Martinelli
The think is Odegaard is doing Saka angle well. But the Xhaka angle manned by Fabio is Zinch doing the distribution. Which leaves one wondering exactly what Fabio is doing on the pitch. ESR half fit will contribute more than this Viera. Na La Liga fit am pass. This one is a ghenghen physical league abeg

Look at the 2 goals we conceded and you have to be gutted because it is reminiscent of the goals we have conceded since this slide started. Odegaard and Viera don't inspire any confidence with their indifference and laziness. We should be pressing these guys off the ball but we are too comfortable letting them have the ball in their half like we are 2 goals up! We have utilized a lot of crossing and should have converted 1 at least..
I think Odegaard's issue may be that he thinks that because he is the 1st presser, then any ball that goes behind him he doesn't need to participate or track again. And that's crap. If Rice lands alone.....infact no need. He should just watch how Rice played against us last week and see the difference.

Now na to dey conceed 2 2 goals per game sure pass opponents winning. Sad times. And out of the last 3 goals we conceded, its ironically funny that the Holding we want to scapegoat fully is just responsible for 1/6. For real!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Martinelli needs to learn how to cross with his left.
Southampton has conceded most goals from cross and nod. Arteta should exploit this weakness abeg. That way, they'll have more players in their box than outside and they'll have little space to effect counter attacks.



Odegaard sadly, is beginning to look like he will need his own replacement. I'm glad for his form all thru this season. But he needs competition at least. I dunno why ESR rumors of leaving are so much today. I love that Alcaraz guy. He's everywhere right now.
