3 clear cut chances bro and he missed all. we need striker asap.
Half bread better than none sha. He's tuned up on pressing. grin grin

Osimhen go be the best catch. Let's grab one big signing. E don tey grin
Odegaard/Partey long balls to him on a counter attack or Tierney/Zinch cross and nod.....

I don't remember Wenger using an Inverted FBs. The reason why White rarely make those runs is because of Zinchenko (or KT) coming to the midfield. White will have to stay back to firm a 3-man defence. By that time, our formation will be 3-2-5.
But in Wenger days, nothing of such probably why Bellerin was able to own that wing with his blistering pace.
If you look closely, The real inverted wing is actually Zinch's side. What White is doing in role is far less compared to what Bellerin brought to the attack. Its very clear. Infact, is it not cos he's inverted he should contribute more as a lone figure? Regardless of how he's deployed, it's not near what Bellerin offers. But pf course, the discipline is more on White than on Bellerin. That one no dey ever touch ball once dem dey counter us. grin

That second half was Ramsdale vs Spurs.

We should have buried that game early but Nketiah nonget network.
Clearest cuttest Chances to make the game 4-0 and he no fit bury. He did his part in pressing sha, but, mehn. I'm tired on his bad one on one in this game. He could even decide to fire without control and that would enter.

Up next, Manchester United!!

Bro...Tactics. It is tactic.
Bro, it is same wenger ball style for fullback that Arteta is using, with just a tweak. The tactics is executed by both, but Bellerin offers better threat for that same role, Especially with that pace. We've see the poor crosses by White several times, it kills sleek moves from the middle. Plus Bellerin sabi that wing switch wella with one pass.

Bellerin is useless as far as I’m concerned !
Useless as a defender? Agreed, but never useless going forward. I think he and mustafi do twins sef grin

White just need offer passing option for Saka and Odegaard compared to Hector. Later on, he just dipped and offered nothing both ways.

His technique on the ball is a beauty. Any shot attempt even without power is already angled to make the goalie suffer!
You get. The chance and space has always been there. But he always goes for a pass in a shooting space. He should do more of this and his goals will be 15+ per season.



Overall, this is the worst home performance in the season from any team/derby in last 7yrs.


1touch in our box, compared to 20 by Arsenal?? grin

My brother, I will take White over and over and over again!
White is the better defender. Bellerin scores lone goals with his pace and movement. Plus sweet crosses and spotting his attackers in the box.


White sees only Odegaard and Saka. I'm just being realistic here. Bellerin does sweet 1-2 with red shirts around him.


White is just the better defender to me.

Roland17:
I have said this before, considering Odegaard’s talent on the ball, he should be shooting and attempting more shots.
One of the reasons he used to vex me before, my crux with him. You can't watch dem Rosicky, Carzorla, Song, Ramsey and co and be content with him not attempting shots at goal, at least 5 per game.

Seems he's woken up from the slumber.

Bellerin is a better attacking threat than White, but White seem the better defender.

Im i the only one that hates this "I'll wait for my time" line by cadets or as pushed by coaches that look forward to repping the senior team.


There are hundreds of talents that are much younger, but are making statements of repping in the senior team, until it comes to us where they have to wait because "they must not be rushed". grin grin

Who do us like this?

You know the crazy thing, is that the possibility exists that although Dessers is the oldest in this grouping officially he could actually be the youngest in reality.

Many people here will not like to believe IT although they KNOW It is a possibility.

Seventy-two days after beating Germany to finish third at the U-17 Women’s World Cup in India, players and officials of the Flamingos are yet to receive their allowances and match bonuses with some of the players told Reporters they virtually went begging for money to celebrate the Yuletide. �

There are some genetic actions in our leaders that once anybody says they did something, i believe instanta. Set aside the technicalities of media life with denials,etc. Shameful lots. Very shameful.

Tenure never start, owing don start aspa "they are down the pecking order, so we face more serious matters for now"


People like these get jailed in Asia. Later they'll be doing one nonsense fire brigade approach as motivation. It's their fault money is the motivation for players repping the country. These things kill patriotism. Anti-Morrocan Syndrome.
