nketiah out, trossard out, odegard out. seriously i'm scared, i love veira but can he up his game against a fullham physical team?, will ESR10 drop to 8 or to the wing?, martinelli up front didn't click for me on thursday, i trust saliba and gabriel at the back. it's just the no.8, no.11 and no.9 position that worries me about sunday. i hope two of the three first team players recover ahead of sunday.

ps: no body said nothing about jakub performance yesterday.

As regarding Kiwior, his positioning during the Cks were very poor. But he has passing game and stamina. It's his 1st game and i think he'll grow into the role so Gabby can rest small. But the two CBs and Turner really hearam from Sporting. Plus the defense lacked covering of Partey 8times in 90mins. Scary moment.

Their attack is sharp, but they are not good in defending, hence those nonsense tackles. I expected someone to go for a pk moment.

Hi everyone seems Supernerd sadly lost his dad recently. Please anyone close to him do kindly reach out to him. Comfort and condolences to you Supernerd aka doc.

So sorry to hear this. May God grant you the strength to bear this insurmountable loss. RIP to him.

I recall that st Etienne match and the Olympiacos defeat at Emirates in same europa seasons back. Will sporting want to attempt that? They look even better. But we better show them class is different from their gragra.

Roland17:
What Turner is doing today is nothing new because he has been doing this things since preseason and I have been talking about it even before the season started.

At this rate, we need survive till Summer o. I don't want a situation where goalkeeping is our Europa league downfall. I remember our group stage games sha. You are right.

sod09:
Remove martinelli that his yellow they vex me
Odegaard need to play too

Lol. I think its a bad thought to put nelli inbetween two tall, well built CBs imo. No aerial ball will touch his head at that rate, when he's not Osimhen. If play gets worse, i won't be surprised if Odegaard eventually plays.


Something is happening to our cornerkick defending that i don't quite understand. We used to be formidable before. Now, i am having a higher expectations that they'll score us from it that ever before. What's going on?😤😤😤

Roland17:
Shebi una dey see? Abeg just Bude ball throwaway, stop trying to build from the back.

Arteta instructions. If he was a regular he for dey bude like Rams dey do many times. Lol. 😂😂😂

Very risky and scary passes. Viera has been impressive so far. But Zinny has the upper hand for middle play this half.

What a first half. Roland is right about Turner's shakiness. The goal isn't his fault really. But those scary passes are his. Arteta hasn't played this guy since January. Rusty definitely. This Sporting are embittered. Lol. Asif Arsenal steal their kulikuli 😆

I think we should take advantage of the Nelson wing. Guy has pace to do stuff. Xhaka is however not working well with him there. Zinny should be careful. I don't like those giveaways atall. Our middle play has Zinny there, but Odegaard is missing truly. Jorg is doing well, but i haven't seen him connect with Nelson yet. I need to see that. Coates be like Pepe.


Nelli card is rubbish. Var should be assisting with that. Smh. I hope we take advantage of that loop at Nelson wing. Its a free wing. Sadly, this is a kind of Nketiah match, but he no dey.

Any link pls?

Roland17:
I love the lineup, good to see Nelson/ Kiwor get starts while Partey/ Gabu get some needed rest on the bench....But na that Turner own dey do me somehow. Turner has not impressed me and is mistake prone. I hope Saliba/ White/ Zinny can show good leadership from that position, otherwise Turner fit sabotage us. I also hope to see a better performance from Vieira, man was poor over the weekend.

Viera dey fear me pass Turner. What's the situation around Leno at Fulham sef?

Arteta should allow Nelson and Tierney get minutes. Infact they should work on Tierney to a good level. I miss his left footed shots at goal. The exact spot Nelson stood is just where Tierney used to stay and volley hot shots at goal. We need to get used to resting key players. I don't want a time that what happened to GJ becomes the norm to 4 or 5 key players when we are back to UCL football. We need look ahead.


Give these guys minutes. It's more beneficial to everyone than detrimental.

Jodera:
When that time comes, we'll surely see how far.

But one thing is certain, Zinny will start that match except being injured or suspended

I dunno Arteta's man marking plans for Salah. I dunno his style for fullbacks marking, but we'll need one for Salah. Those guys are lethal on counter attack and we have conceded more goals from it than even setpieces this season.

mostob:
Tomi should play abeg... Zinny can come in later.

I dunno if his poor performance vs Bournemouth will impact Arteta's decision vs Liverpool though. But one thing is certain-i want him to score a goal this month.

Laziness
Fatigue
Indiscipline

These made Liverpool triumph with the scoreline. I doubt it will be that easy when they play us. But Salah vs Zinny/Tomi? I can't say I'm comfy. This is the Salah i know. But we would have possession. We just need to utilize the ball faster.

kokaneprodigy:
But Nelson didn’t replace Viera na.

I meant impact down that left wing. Viera no be am. Workrate esp. Xhaka settled it. Now, at the end of it all, we have to start looking for a Xhaka-esque player in the market.😎👏🏾

mostob:

it was not deliberate abeg... we the arsenal fans dey hug ourselves...na when I dey feel something soft my brain came back from Emirates stadium. I sharply compose myself, make ball no go put me for trouble.

something soft😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

Are we ready to tear the streets when we win this title? We need to start believing far above this "na top 4 be the target" mentality.

This was a mentality test.

Almost slipped through but we held on.

Nelson is the only forward player that scored today. The rest were non forwards. Odegaard and Saka today though.


Impressive step up by White. Really Impressive. We didn't deserve this win after that 2nd goal. A draw was all we needed. But 5points. Elephant 🐘 dey dance eo

Roland17:
Nelson has impressed me since he came on

I knew he will be more an impact than Viera. Viera doesn't deserve to be a starter for me going forward. That wing lacked any impact till Nelson came on. I'm sure the kid will now have more belief of scoring important goals going forward. When all hope of 3 points was lost, Nelson volleyed through.

jihday:
Yusuf should have done his homework before inviting players 🤦🏿

i doubt these coaches are not aware. Infact he and Bosso are legends of the system and i see them more as "managers of the cheating realm" cos they'll understand how to go about such secrecy and do whatever it takes.


Are they in the dark about this? Highly impossible!! Enablers of the system. Before someone will come to say we are talking down on them.

iamoyindamola:
Odegaard have I e annoying disadvantage
He can't cover his ball

Some aspects of his game has never improved. Annoying. Especially that stamina part. Partey should not be the only player with stamina in the middle. I hate we have two players that can easily be bullied when things get physical.

4games where teams in bottom 6 are giving Arsenal problems. What's going on?

Commentator acknowledged the fact we've barely score early since January.

Swissh:
Man is invincible.

Reiss will do something worthwhile at that wing m Zinchenko is carrying that wing as no Xhaka dey. Smh

Viera is 90mins away from being a white Lokonga to me.

codemaniacs:
This is the one your self hating brain will see...

Tunisian players have beards not normal 19 year old beard, 32 years old looking beards on their faces but you couldn't even share their own faces..

You're not serious.

pls who's your supplier? E reach to ask cos i dunno how i dey Nigeria but you don't carry mata go china nanana😏😏😏😏

Lol. Funny list.

Debt that has more to do with Warfare than Humanity. IYKYK.

solonnachi:
After all his shakara so he has decided to represent Nigeria? But his addition will be big competition for Ekong & Balogun. I love it. What of Eze na? I thought someone said he too was changing his mind on England?

I doubt Oyinbo wall have much to offer anyway. But his addition is timely.

maidaboi:

Small floodlight of accountability and see as captains dey quake like cadet😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The names given no clear though.

TheGoodJoe:

I guess most missed the bolded.

Absolutely.

jihday:
Mikel Obi played even though he knew his father had been kidnapped.

again

Although i get you.

Daninya33:

Blunt Attack
Unskilled Wingers
Porous midfield
Poor decision making
Decent Defense
Ok Goalkeeper
Coach Ladan Bosso has a lot of work to do..
Hopefully Daniel Daga will be fit for the semi final
Good luck to Nigeria and a Hearty congratulations

I don't expect much from them. Majorly cos of their coach. That appointment stinks of Galadima and co days of Nff.

oloriooko:
This 9ja U20 is so terrible and for them to qualify for the WC shows the mediocrity level of the competition
No ball holder
Football sense is close to zero
Decision making is abysmal
Nothing exciting about the team
No individual talent
Coaching input is little or nothing

Congrats to the worse U20 team i have seen in recent times
Recycling coaches is just bad

Mendem

😹😹😹😹

Nff are a big big retrogression to this team. See that foolish anonymous nff official's statement about Randy leaving his Uni job to fully concentrate on SF. Doesn't that alone shows how backwards these guys reason? Regardless, Randy should get out. Damage has been done already but far worse will be he staying till that June date. That will collapse the team and all these rubbish talk of building team.

Roland17:
This is why I said March is a more important than April. If we take care of March, we go into April with a strong mentality and good confidence.

For me, it has always been one game at a time and the next is Bournemouth which I expect a W, no excuses.

i remember you saying this truly. We Marching on.
