Congrats Gunners. Back to the top!

Nketiah is the only player to feature in all 18games of Arsenal this season.


The stats alongside these minutes are not encouraging.

Finally, one can see that Viera no dey do shingbain for us if we are to be honest.

And the agbaya wants to be our main striker? lol. Put Oshimen or Vlahovic on this team and is 7-0 because everyone from the wing to the defence is a goal contributor. The only difference between us and Man city is that every one can score too.
Like that pass from Jesus needed just one forward touch and a shot at that goal. Instead guy slowed down till defender caught up and began to think of 12,000 ways to pass yo nowhere. The guy pisses me off in moments one doesn't expect it from him. We will need one more striker, sincerely. One that is ruthless and decisive at an instant. Jesus and Nketiah can't do it all season for us.


That our only goal threat came from a defender first...

Despite her build, she has the ball knowledge of a skilled midfielder. Knowing where to be and has an eye for a connecting pass. As it stands, Sundowns already are favourites to retain, simply because they have the stuff it takes in terms of prep and discipline.


The team's PR too is topclass. They even got the services of a world class trainer to help in training.


Not those nonsense cones and juggling all the time.

Overall, this may be the tournament for goalkeepers to shine, especially ball distributors

Make way and play in the EPL a very big YES , but to THRIVE he will need more.

Thrive in the context of a top 5 goal scorer in the EPL at the end of each season.

With regards to the bold , V.O. is yet to exceed expectations in Seria A , in what is his now third season.

Unless you want to do unnecessary praise singing and over hype.
That is all I've been trying to let you see but you keep making it seem like he is stagnant.

Considering he's back from injury and atop the list right now, pls give him the accolades of the moment. Simple!!

I ain't overhyping anyone. But you're underhyping him too much. Yeah you are!!

Bayelsa Queen's defense will be their undoing.

Really felt they would have worked on some of the errors they made in the first game, they are sadly repeating the same.

They also need to stop this purposeless long balls. Move the ball on the ground.
They had some fine transition vs Sundowns. What's with the long ball thing and Nigerian women's football in general?? We have a system problem, in conclusion.

You are being assumptive, I did not use one game to make any conclusion, CHAI ! ! !

Football is like psychology there are more probabilities than conclusions albeit informed probabilities.

This is why last seasons super star can be this season flop. Consider Sanchez outstanding at Arsenal a big flop at United.

But I deviate, l looked at V.O. attributes that have given him great success so far.

I reiterate, pace, blind determined relentless raging attack. He is physical but not overly ,( wouldn't call him a muscle head) good aerial ability and finishing. However , guile, trickery sublime skill and technical ability are not his attributes.

The EPL is extremely fast and physical much more so than Seria A, French league one and the Belgium league. For him to thrive at a top 5 EPL club he will need more.

He is well known now, do you know that clubs have access to hours of footage of individual players and they prepare meticulously covering every detail. It's quite normal for individual players to go analysts and say give me 2 hours on V.O.

My view is simplistic , which is what he experienced in his two games against Liverpool is a precursor to what he will find week in week out playing in the EPL. But with greater expectations, as a top goal scorer from Seria A.
I think you're assumptive rather.

The attributes you mentioned are enough to make way in the EPL. He doesn't have to be a Mo Salah or Harry Kane in his first season.


Regardless of that angle, he has just what it takes right now to play EPL.

Aspa shining beyond expectation, that's his homework to do. He knows that too. Very much.

This pool is filled with poteuax right now. The formalities are what many are obsessed with. Or let me say, they think the show and fanfare is the koko. They forget the values needed to make it work. Many are mentally deficient and they don't even seek help, so their spouse bears such burden.


Lastly, many no sabi put God for centre. There are many that do so and are doing absolutely well with whatever storm they are going through.

Once again in your emotions get the better of you.

What's the fastest and most physical league as well as competitive league in the world, The EPL.

Haaland is an enigma with a skill set that is made for the EPL , he is a true number 9. He can even be more physical in the EPL than the Bundisliga. In addition I've never seen a 6"5' player with his acceleration.

I didn't make any deduction, just that V.O. will require more to succeed in the EPL. He has played two games against a not on top of their game Liverpool and failed to score.

But that's not particularly relevant, it was the way he got checked, bodied and locked by a Konate that was interesting.

V.O. is the most aggressive, relentlessly determined, hot headed with rage I know. However, Konate just poured ice cold water on him and he couldn't do much. Those attributes that have given him great success in Seria A and French one may not be enough in the EPL. That's objective appraisal not emotive preference and favouritism.

To use your proposition of sentiment, Saka, Martinelli, Mitrovic, Awoniyi , Sancho, Rashford have all scored against against Liverpool. Why not therefore Haaland and V.O.

All these players used guile, trickery , technique and skill and with Awoniyi plain good luck to score.

These are not the attributes of V.O. he needs to find another way IF he wants to thrive in the EPL.
Chai. I want to understand your angle. But Konate has quieted some good strikers in EPL and got rounded up by small boys in the same league. Add unknown regulars. If we are to use 1 game to conclude abilities, then even RVP and Rooney will be nobodies today.

Nunez is still upcoming. I very well want to assume you saw the number of articles written about if he can fo it in the EPL? He is still adapting till now. For VO, he personally knows he will need to up his game if he gets to the EPL. And that he can't do alone either. So no need to make a fuss about it? He is climbing that ladder and i don't see him stopping. You can't deny the effort isn't there since he returned from injury. When EPL comes, anything can happen. But he will get through. That i believe.

Yes he did.

If I remember correctly, he was the one who insisted that the potential manager's pool be widened, after the NFF had initially settled for Pesiero, since the FG was going to be responsible for their renumeration.

I still think though that the NFF shouldn't rely on the FG for coach's salary. The Super Eagle's brand ideally should be big enough attract the needed brands to cater for salaries and player's allowances. The guys at the NFF are just so incompetent no brand worth its salt will want to associate with them.
Sometimes i wish i can see the sheets of how the financials from brands over the last decade looks like. Incompetence is the CEO in that place.
