Martinelli sef

Nketiah involved in goals tonight. A true striker on both ends. I hate when strikers cause pk.

1-1

Glad Uncle Suru don dey travel the world

Deltamani:
Alozieeeee Vs Fox

She's the female Victor Moses. I pray she gets her chance to feature in her natural role. The odd role don taya person.

TFLASHOGEE:
including Nottingham forest and Bournemouth abi comerade

You know i mean top 4 teams.

Any EPL club that gets Osimhen go win epl title.

Danielnino00:
I said it during the u-20 world cup self .. And they are of similar height...

Na Onyenezidane me wan watch. That middle needs her. Better days ahead

Danielnino00:
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.



Na dia Sabrina Wiegman kinda level.of coach we need at least. We go de alright.

Danielnino00:
I thought it was Imuran... Maybe I confused their looks...

Oh, they look alive cos of their build. They kon dey do similar braids

isan:
We have to be quick in our passing to stretch the US defense, the girls take too many touches in the final third and allow US get back in shape and single and quick pass will allow us get around their defense...... All this is waldrum fault he doesn't have a pattern of play he's just a teacher not a tactician

looks like the attack structure is non existent. We need this element of surprise back. The kind we saw in Accra

Danielnino00:
Imuran not Demehin own goal...

Okay. I joined late and heard the commentator said it's her. It's even on the scoreboard sef.

labas370:
game so far, better than the first one... But still, this coach needs to go... this game have shown that if you play these players at their rightful positions, they will deliver... My mind is totally biased were this coach is, he has been holding this team down far so long. he needs to go.

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.

Absolutely no difference in approach from the Wafcon.

Demehin own goal....may this not be your super Falcons legacy abeg. Shuuu. American Commentators are happy they're seeing their coaches leading us. Taaah.


I pray we get our own Alex Morgan soon. 100+ goals?? Wow.

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

Imuran though

Spy360:
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.

Jodera:
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

Jodera:
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

All of them still need that upgrade in that aspect. We go dey alright

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?

Deltamani:
59: South Africa (0) - (5)Brazil

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 looks like loss of concentration.

Jodera:
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.

Jodera:
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.

Jodera:
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

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.

This game better tweak the way Arteta plays against the top 6. Absolutely. We can't be moving left right right left in front of their box. Any of the 5 managers will set up structure cos they know it's space we need. We better start aiming for result than flair vs them. Especially when we don't have all the legs to execute.


The decision making was too poor. Shot dem no fire. Very annoying sincerely. We didn't even think of firing so we can get rebounds. Arghh.

Odegaard
Nelli
Jesus
Saka

All had chances to sting the palms of De gea but indecisive. These are the chances that separate boys from men, regardless of who is better, or who passes better or who carry possession. The onus lies on Arteta sha. I'm glad someone finally talked about those disaster subs. The players may be good but if it further exposed us to ridicule and conceding goals...taaaah

The entire defence all share the blame imo. White lost concentration more than twice to Gab and Saliba far off, to Zinch for that first goal.


And look at the red shirts that caused all of that.... Just 3. 3!!!!


Only conclusion to take is the DM role was no where for us yesternight. Simple. No be top 6 starting shirt we go use develop Lokonga.

Jodera:
And please I'm not condemning Lokonga saying he had a bad game ystdy. No!!
I'm just saying his defense frailties was exposed ystdy as Ten Haag smartly capitalised on it

I don't know why this is so hard to accept. Lokonga is not a starter option when it comes to games vs Top 6. Elneny is even preferred. Simple.


I can bet you that if it was Tottenham, Kane and Son for don roast us cos na Kane go enter that DM zone and be distributing passes to torment us.



I rewatched the clip. Zinch has some blame. His back was to Antony. The confidence for that suggest he thinks Gab was setting an offside line already. Even if that wasn't the case, he was still very far from Antony. If he was closer, that pass would be contested easily by Zinch. But see the option Zinch went for when Gab was already there. Naaaah.

Tierney will never do that!!


Body language of Rams....he saw the leg movement of Antony and my goodness, his reaction is not the best.


Then that high line that Exposed Saliba, if Elneny was on pitch, Saliba won't really be saddled with much. But i prefer to say it than Absolve blame. The pace towards that wasn't good.


Overall, Ramsdale was shaky. See the nonsense pace that almost led to another goal.

Arteta should better learn the lessons he should from the game.


The two goals(disallowed and Saka goal) we scored came from us dispossessing them, not us dominating with possession and circling their box.


Infact two of their own goals came from possession around their own box then once Bruno got the ball, he transitioned with beating our useless high line. They saw it working and e begin dey sweet dia body to keep repeating, meaning we became predictable at that moment, not cos that was their Major approach. Infact we kept their forwards quiet for quite a large part until those silly mistakes began to pop up.


Sometimes, we should allow these top 6 teams get possession and then hit on counter. Most of our goals against them in the last two seasons came that way. The last time we scored from fluid build up and possession against more than one team in the big 6, Ozil was still our midfield maestro. That should tell a lot. A lot.


I don't think we prepared for Bruno in the match buildup, or Lokonga just no sabi.

Jodera:
To be honest, I don't know what you guys think of Saka but I feel he had a nice game. Dealt with Malacia well and was always on the move

He still needs that rest. Factory reset, if at all we want him firing from the cylinders and Vials. Burnout is already looking obvious despite the coming tops vs Malacia

FT: #MUN 3-1 #ARS

THE TRUTHS:
- Odegaard romances the ball too much
- Sancho must get more involved
- Saka needs rest
- White can't play WB/RB
- Rashford - reborn
- Gabriel needs factory reset
- Eriksen is a steal
- Bruno - Mr effective
Martinelli's decision making is poor
- Ronaldo still needed.
- McTominay was tidy

Arsenal brought back to reality

#copied

Looks almost accurate.

ETH sha don beat Liverpool and Arsenal

Who is Arteta going to beat among the Top 6?

We played but they got results. Then that first goal should have stood. All that is over now. Tiring to vent about this officiating cos it's annoying.


Mistakes of recovery killed this game. From Zinch and Lokonga. See the long pass for that first goal. My my!

Deltamani:
See the response from the KENYAN who handle that women’s football page..

there are some factors that should be in place before we can be having hope in this this round leather game. We are in shabbles. It's annoying that it's two legged. How he has this job is proof that one or two have turned national matter to private company things.
