I don’t like how wolves have been becoming near equals whenever we square off of recent. Bad times at emirates caused this sha. Imagine Wolves o! Hope this doesn’t become a norm in consequent seasons. We need put them in their place with b2b results. Ramsdale sha. Mr LaRams fit see the name dey smile.

Lol, the laca excuse would have been valid if he was scoring consistently wen our bench was versatile but nah, he wasn't. He was here wen we had Ozil, mkhi, iwobi et al, yet he didn't change his style.

And yeah, Vlahovic would have made a difference, but I'll wait to see Guimares quality
Well said. Vlah do us strong thing. Make we no come qualify and meet Juve and baba go score two against us. E go pain.

Watford
Leicester
Liverpool

6/9points should not be bad.

Lacazette is versatile and technically astute, he also use to be a Winger. And if s not your traditional type striker.
yeah. Just that goals aren’t coming in years sha. But that aspect, if added to Victor, would be fiery. He’s still a WIP and I’m impressed so far.

What I want to see in the coming games from Osimhen is him dropping even deeper than he did against Barcelona. I could not help but noticed when Dries Mertens came in, he slotted deep into the midfield, close to the center line, and was able to help build up play, which led to one of the good chances.

I hope to see Osimhen build-up a more fluid approach to his game. Do not get me wrong, he is doing most things right and with a good set-up, he would wreck havoc in many teams. However, I expect Osimhen to get to a brilliant level of the game if he works towards contributing more in build-up plays.

Either way, I was so impressed at the quality of Osimhen. We have an atomic weapon in our hands.
lacazette style!! It will help him. If he has pacy wingers, it will be a good one. But gradually with time

Lol, I share your opinion about laca, reason why I said he's one of those helping us to dominate teams. And it's also a big reason why I'm always against spy when he's saying Laca is useless or an out of form auba is better than him. That I'll never accept at all

But then, I just wish he should add goals to his game esp his goal to chance ratio needs to be improved. I know his style of play will make him not to get chances as box strikers and running strikers (like auba) should normally have, but the few he comes across let him convert it. I'm not saying he should change his style, just let him improve his goal scoring chance that's all I ask...
if our bench was that versatile, it will force Laca to change his style. But na Lokonga dey there. E for sweet if he scored as much as he roughens up defenders when playing deep. Or he can go Kane style, but no Son in our team sincerely that will run and finish off seeet kane passes all alone.

Two players would have made big difference; Guimares and Vlah. But look at us. grin

Lol, the thing is that conte can choose to park bus against man city as an underdog playing away. In our own, that will be a different ball game cos he'll be forced to attack. While I'm not underestimating conte, I feel we have players that can go toe to toe with Tottenham. The only issue is that we're playing away but then I'm keeping my mind open
True. I doubt he’d see how we are and not want to attack. He too dey target top 4. Arteta should talk to his boys to avoid red card that day or else. If i see red, I’ll change to watch movie until i hear screams of goal from neighborhood.

Lol, laca have been like this right from ozil's time. I just feel it's his style of play.

My issue sef is with him converting his chances (the few he gets). He tends to miss much this season compared to previous seasons and that's my worry
While we may not like he does in the box, lets not forget how bad we struggle without him doing that deep play. Our game in the middle is weak in attack until Laca brings that rough energy that makes things easy for the boys that are swift. Remove him and don’t expect any hope of goals at all. I’m not saying he’s indispensable. But its far worse, especially as we signed no one. If we get a midfielder with his style, irrespective of our Striker, e go better.


We really are sour to watch recently in attack, with or without him.

He don dey old. Make he go Ligue 1 back.

For all three outstanding, the most I fear is Liverpool and the least I fear is Tottenham. We just need to tactically play our game esp against Chelsea. Moreover I don't know the havertz you say is in top form. He's improved from his lackadaisical game, fine, but to me that's not top form.
But for Kane, I agree.

I'm just keeping my mind open in all 3 games. It's just a shame we're playing both Tottenham and Chelsea away and then our nemesis (Liverpool) at home. Liverpool wey for dem Emirates=Anfield grin
I tel you. No difference to them. They don replace Man U under sAF. Make we sef find team we go dey do like this, with or without form na. We should fear Conte o. That’s a fact. Cos that City game alone shows he sabi dissect Pep’s tactic.

Laca plays to much in midfield trying to hold ball and exerts all his energy doing so and this usually affects his shooting ability. At a point laca was at left back corner flag trying to collect ball which waa supposed to be xhaka duty.
Xhaka was a passenger in 1st half and early half of second half. He was probably trying to avoid any card.
He came into the game once we started dominating
There is no way laca can do both midfield and striker work.
Martinelli needs to stop hugging the winger line and should move inwards.
Pepe should be a support striker or at least move towards opponents 18 yards box.
Cedric was lucky not to get a card for elbow on the wolves goalscorer.
Saka wasted more chances today than laca
We played well into the second half
Partey was playing alone in midfield and was the reason we controlled the game.
He was everything today except shooting.
Imagine if xhaka was playing on the same wavelength.
Gabriel is slow. White awareness was poor but white played better today.
They weren't in synch today.
They better watch it as wolves would have scored two in the first half had their number 9 being on target
I’ve always known it’s his style of play, but if we had that key midfielder, I doubt Laca would be coming to collect ball from middle. We still need some technical players. It’s not a good sign most times for Arsenal. Although I see Kane do it well but Kane will lay off KDB pass and stand in middle while his teammates finish it off with a goal. Understanding each other is still WIP sha. Telepathic goal scoring passes will return to Emirates soon!

The never say never attitude. Laca maybe goal shy but dude know how to push the young lads(make en sha go this end of the season)

Our three outstanding games eh are crazy; Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool but aside Liverpool me I I not scared of the first two anything can come out of it.

Arteta need to be strategic in his first 11. Is time to rotate players and save us from long time injury. Saka should be rested for even two games.

If we continue this format of beating every team below the top six, top 4 is sure for us
dont expect much from the outstanding.
Kai and Kane are in top form right now. And Liverpool? Lol

We should just go and prepare to snatch a point vs Liverpool. But Chelsea is open to silly mistakes

Lol. I hate that thing. Na there Vlah do is strong thing. He was a perfect fit, especially his numbers in Juve shirt so far. But this AM over 9 in scoring chats happens at other clubs though, but I don’t enjoy it at Emirates. Auba must be replaced mehn!! grin

Boss, I disagree with the embolden..

Saka had a rough spell after the Euros and he was roundly criticized, albeit everyone understood the situation. Without any question, Saka has consistently produced for this team, this one no be case of love covering him.
I insist that we do overlook his lapses this season. Though he’s fatigued. But change the person to Pepe and twill be hot lashes at him. That’s my angle. The love he got post euros still working. Can’t wait for a fully fit Saka though.

It was evident Saka is tired, u could see the fatigue showing in his decision making....,but u see Lacazette doing uncessary skills, trying to do useless one-two no-look pass when we are 1 goal down was just annoying.

If we had lost I would've blamed him and Arteta for not taking him off for pepe or any other available player upfront despite wasting our chances.

At the end I'm glad he was able to redeem himself and make we the fans happy
lol. I never expected another goal though. I think he’s also the last player to score dying minute goals at Emirates. We need prep for his departure in this aspect. If Osimhen is truly coming, e go sweet. But Isak and DCL....

Watching Saka play I could see he really fatigued. It's like his body is experiencing burnout at such a young age. I just wish Arteta would rest him for a match or two but I know he won't be willing to take such risk.

I could see saka forcing himself to dribble players or make runs. This present saka can't last for 90mins and it's no coincidence, reason why he's been giving "below his standard" performances. I just wish he should take a rest and come back refreshed
Well said!! The chili don Dey weak o. He doesn’t need start vs Watford to me! But again, not other trophy campaigns this season, meaning enough rest and recovery time per week. Unless na special drills sha. But as I know, na Nelli Dey chop drills pass after White for Colney . Anyways, he’s burned out. Concerned

This is not true. Lacazette no just dey score ni.....

Do u know he also lost this chance below in the first leg against wolves? Is this one also a tight angle?

Xhaka is tied now. When last did he drift out of position to initiate attack since that last NLD we won? He needs freedom to be in positions to shoot. The bad luck is his recovery. Na red go end am grin grin

Laca had his chances. But he’s very unlucky with it cos most are tight angles. Na cos we love Saka we no wan criticize am o, but we should. He had open chances and was slow on most of them. Two goals from tight spots. Bottom line is Laca is that kind of player that needs an Ozil. It’s cos he’s majorly unlucky in front of goal, many aren’t settled with him. He works he’s though.

Apart from ginger, we have no striker in Lacazette. An out of form Aubameyang was better. Arteta should consider Pepe, Martinelli or Nketiah.

Nketiah pressed very well and made good fast runs. Good game for him.

At the end, it was the mentality that won us the match. This new found agbero mentality will take us far.
I like the Agbero show. Saka level no reach though. We suppose spell watford. I foresee a final showdown based on goal difference. We need do so vs them. That 5-0 still sweet, but we hope they tear Watford apart.

Na my question be this oo.

I wonder how partey will be in shooting positions while Xhaka(his closest partner) never finds one. I wish partey will just at least take his shots on target!! At least...
based on positions this season, as in sweet sure banger positions to score in front of box 18, Partey suppose Dey same goals with ESR this season. Rosicky, Santi will bury them sweepingly. I also don’t doubt xhaka in positions like that. Unfortunate he doesn’t have such freedom.
