If there's one thing Pinnick administration failed badly at, it is with appointment of coaches for our national teams.. I mean all of them, both male and female plus senior and junior teams.. And worst still,he takes time before sacking them... The super falcons for all their achievements on the continent don't deserve a part time college coach...
And that's how I'll remember Pinnick Administration. Woeful coach selection and jeopardizing everything despite the availability of talents like never before.

From his interview, no hint he wants to get a result from these friendlies. I think he just wants to look like he's doing something. The person wey bring am no do well.

4 white shirts blocking our midfield from getting a pass from the defenders. Thus, they're making silly passes. We reach their box and allow them recover before doing anything dangerous. Haba

Shielding his mistakes? No.

Shielding him? Yes.

Why?

Because it's the right thing to do. All those pundits say all the rubbish they could, but when given the opportunity to coach they were all messed up like an toddler's ice-cream.

If fans attack him, he will get demoralised and lose form entirely. The loser? Arsenal Football Club. But if we encourage him, like the good fans at the Emirates did to Gabriel and Saliba when they scored own goals, the player is motivated to do better and score real goals.
Semantics aren't going to make any difference. Nobody attacked his person. But you're making it look that way and it can't work. He was terrible vs Man u. You're even going on a vs with pundits like asif all of them no sabi wetin dia eyes see?? That's hilarious.


Fans came for xhaka, laca, pepe, etc. I don't have a slight impression or hint of ever seeing you to defend them the way you're doing Sambi. Infact Sambi hasn't gotten 1/10 of the criticism that Elneny has gotten.


Besides, if you think that's demoralizing, then you should be protecting Ramsdale and not Sambi. At least project consistency on such a stance if that's your aim.



Cr7 as goat still gets attack for his performance. Infact Bruno was criticized for his performance in most games this new season. They even attacked his person.


This style no go work. We complained at some players and they got benched. Ozil sef no far. Positional discipline is one of the crux he has with manager, then attitude.


If all what we are doing is wrong, then no be sports o.


I leave your own stance vs the Arsenal Legends that have dropped their own opinion.


If we want to activate the faith in Patrick Vieira's statement about our aim for glory, them either Sambi doubles up or gets bench. I don't want to imagine getting roasted if he doesn't get disciplined enough to know where he ought to be.

Lol... That's typical Wenger na. Ystdy game just flashed back Wenger era were will dominate and create chances but would want to work the ball to the net.

We need sometimes to work on opponent's psyche especially the top teams. Arteta needs to work on that
I don't think it's a bad idea trying to set a game plan to frustrate their psyche.


Like 19teams do this regularly to Arsenal cos they feel we can't bite. Hmmm

Na real loss of concentration na. Ronaldo was fouled, arsenal players there protested that it wasn't a foul forgetting that ref haven't blown the whistle leaving gaping hole behind the defence for Eriksen. And as they said, the rest is history cheesy

Spy is shielding Sambi. Arsenal Legends aren't. Isokay.

Ian talked about positional discipline lacking in the game, esp from Odegaard. If he highlighted that, do the maths. He said it was part of what Arteta has always hammered from last season but the players are yet to fully incorporate that in their skulls.


The Manchester Midfield were positionally disciplined, save for Scott that kept drifting off. Eriksen marked Odegaard wella. Odegaard didn't return the favor despite it looking like the idea was 1-1.


We can't keep shielding a player's mistakes every matchdsy till week 38 if we want to be in that revered top 4. Infact we've done this criticism for almost all players of this squad. Why is Sambi's own now diff? Abi he had a great game? He executed the gameplan well?

Omo. Fear is a big factor. I watched the first one, i think it's safe to say this Setpieces weakness is a Waf thing. Plus see defending. Brazil are fast, then love to shoot and cross. Nothing really unique imo.

This is another angle and I really agree with you on this 100%.

They were left to free and they were the most dangerous
He did same mistake vs Liverpool. Underrating their strengths and focusing fully on your own strengths. Who does that?
Man U were ready for Jesus. They put two on my guy. They put two on Nelli too. Baba needs to improve on tackling and frustrating the strength of his opponents o. We really need it. It gives boost to even a tired player. And it demoralizes your opponent. Hopefully, we see that.

That Tomi benching for White is now some how. Sometimes White will play fine game, sometimes he'll just become passive but each time Tomi is introduced you'll see the a vast difference. Worst part is that it's not as if Tomi is bad defensively. And sometimes we wonder why Saka haven't reach the great height of last season.

That goal, I won't blame Rams sha. It was reflex and split second decision. All these things is easier said than done looking at it "after" it have happened.
Another of some silly decision making from Arteta. Well i believe both are fit. It's not by force for Saliba and white to be both in defense always. Then the preference is showing it's more than tactics. It has never helped Saka. It has never made white be in an assist table. It has never made Odegaard stay forward.


Compared to when its all Tomiyasu.



Then you can't tell me you see White and Yasu as a manager and think White is better when playing some opponents. Yasu is even faster. By far. I want to see him get more games in his natural position. Not White doing that.


As for Rams, he could do better. If we want him to be better, then this reflex thing can't always be the excuse.

Lol, I don even forget tottenham sef. Kane go us us do shege if Lokonga play that DM role. Ordinarily, na wetin him dey do sef grin

As for that 1st goal, I was surprised. I mean, Antony have already adjusted his body that he wanted to place it at the far corner yet Ramsdale still dive the other way. Maybe it's just a normal reflex a GK always undergo, who knows(easier said than done right)? But then, I won't blame him for any of the goals. It's easier for the players to score that than for Ramsdale to save those ball

Ramsdale wasn't shaky sha, aside from that error, he was good.

I think the defence was all over the place ystdy especially as we paraded a weak DM against a good runners and passers of the ball. The defence was really exposed ystdy Tbh.

Lastly, Our best bet is Tomiyasu. What we were missing ystdy in attack showed as White no be am. He'll give us that stretch we need and he has that understanding with Saka.
And yes, Zinchenko was partly exposed, the defensive securities of Tierney wouldn't have made that happen.
Distribution was perfect
But goalkeeping mistake was not something Emi Martinez would do. Tbh. They will score Martinez but that Antony goal would not have happened. I think all shots on goal went in, save three.


AON shows Arteta loves White. I think it's becoming detrimental, sincerely. Saliba won't be here if Recruitment team didn't do their part. Guy doesn't show he wanted him atall. But we meuve.


Bottomline

Rams may need to stop engaging the fans as much he currently does. I think it riles him up to a standard that doesn't help his confidence. Just saying.
