Our Defence is doing a better job than the Midfield so far in this unbeaten stretch.

I don't know which buy is needed to change that but it gats happen. I don't care who will be sacrificed.

The Palace game is an eye opener for how the Midfield will far against a stronger opposition (palace weren't, but they were a better test). That sit back was an eyesore and displayed the tactical superiority of Vierra on that night. For injury time draws in EPL this season, Arsenal are the luckiest team.

Confidence is highest right now though and while the Liverpool game is already an L to me, I'm thinking Arteta would take chips out of Moyes tactic books and do the needful.
Antonio-laca
Zouma- gabriel



Tavares on TAA and Salah? Realest test. One thing is sure, TAA can be beaten easily.

Make Sambi no near that XI o. If Henderson or Keita pounce, a goal will come out immediately of his snail indecision.

Huh?

You guys are suddenly downplaying Gabriel's solo importance at heart of defence and use media hype of VVD to support this? And Saliba? Nawa o.



VVD is hyped but not Overhyped. He's done alot of great solo performance on both attack and defending and i don't see why he should be used to justify an overhype argument cos the hype on him is justified. Haba.


Attack wise, he and White were involved in two goal in two games. Its not solely cos of Aaron that we aren't conceeding pls. Give everyone their deserved hype.

Roland17:
Omo, with the way Tavares dey play on both ends of the pitch, Tierney will need a miracle to smell first team again. Tavares mean business oh

If a Lethal left winger is bought, we might be seeing some kind of Marcelo/Cr7 partnership. I believe He'd be firetuned to attempt shots at goal. He has the drive in to do just that.

iamoyindamola:
Add lonkonga he can't mark or pass too

There's no urgency in his moves forward and so they leeech onto him and that is a silly way to pressurize your backline. Im not okay with that aspect of his game atall. Too piss poor for me. I recall one Counter he was supposed to release Saka early on as only 3watford defenders were there,he strolled into the centre circle like its 4-0 we are leading. Serious teams would punish such display.

Spy360:


Me too saw it but doubted it. It sounded too good to be true.

Dave
Na lie jor.

Its a True o. But i waa scared as i no see Ebening, for real.

iamoyindamola:
I saw this stats yesterday shame won't allow me to post it
Even Baba Wenger have less wins compare to Arteta in 100games incharge
But he had less defeat compare to other

Well, no continental campaign is helping Arteta too. Wenger was at the top early on and playing continental. Unless they spend 1billion in 7yrs,i doubt Arteta can match Baba's total wins of 7yrs time frame.

I was also looking for Emery o

The Winter EPL ball. A pity afconites would used this for 6games max before they depart.

Trust the process?


I get you that the dressing room emergency meeting after the Brighton Game has really affected this season for the club as a whole. It was in that room they all agreed they needed to tweak tactics to score more goals and its really really working.



On the side, i hope this Vlahovic pursuit doesn't turn to a Perez kinda situo. Afcon loading.

Kog45:
Ndidi doesn't need Afcon or WC to move to a better club...he should just keep it going in EPL,with good management he has everything to be there...check Dennis moved to Watford,pure agent work.

I heard that Ndidi is being manage by a new management team.

He doesn't need it, you say. But he cannot control clubs coming for him after a great Performance in these two tourneys. That's the trigger i meant.

Napoleon55:
I don't think Ndidi is leaving leicestter anytime soon,till 2023

Afcon and WC will trigger anything and he'll move.

The father go dey one junction like that dey do Provider for curious babes wey miss road and give them belle kon japa to conquer new territory, fufilling its new year resolution. Dey crow like king of the lungu.

Conte wants Vic Moses at Tottenham....


Hmm

sheyishemba:
Not with rohr in charge

Well, lets see how things go. Cos I'm suspecting he'd be at Qatar.

mostob:
Nigeria will win. I'm 100% sure

Im 70%
Cos of that moment same old does come up. Lol

andrewbaba44:
We have the team to win afcon for sure .

No doubt we should just be getting start by the Quarterfinals. No excuses for whoever is going to be at the helm.

Afcon final

Senegal vs Nigeria

West vs North Semis.

damagnificentusb:
I see that guy as our next victor moses

He opens up spaces and is clinical inside the box. Can't wait to see him in action consequently.

damagnificentusb:
Absolutely agree with you

In other news, who saw Lookman's performance against Arsenal on Saturday?


Seeing him beat Partey twice and clean, etc, is some cool hope for GWG.

Does anyone really need be surprised by the increase of this?

Jesus Christ has already said such a tike would come that even his sheep will be drawn to deception.


What should surprise you rather, are those gullible followers that have an iota of doubt about such ministers, yet still hang like ants to sugar and bees to honey, and defend them like they are the ones that have the keys to the gates of hell and heaven.

Moses Simon may need to warm bench for SE o. We've had wingers on this no performance table that got the big stick and rightly so. They got benched and improved. He might just need take a breather.

solonnachi:
Happy new month guys. Today happens to be my birthday. Please celebrate God's goodness to me.

Happy New month to you too.

And i wish you a happy birthday Solo! Cheers.

Finally

Nicholas Jover Effect for Setpieces. 5goals in 4games from that. Excellent.


The transformation is really making Pepe to feel like he's the one left out right now. Can you foresee a sale soon?


Arsenal Fans with family tradition.

lalasticlala:
Happy birthday to my daughter.

Happy Birthday to her. Been a while. Cheers to her new age!!

If ya good,ya good!!

I believe Arteta has improved on how his subs should come on. It was very effective. Barnes was everywhere in our box causing terror.

Do we have a freekick specialist like Maddison? I doubt. We're too used to great Performance from Tomiyasu and Gabriel we aren't even crazied. They don't even get enough hype for performance from media houses.

BlueRayDick:
aswear! I'm a big Leno stan , but tgat save got me real good . Ramsdale didn't come to play

Did you also see the crazy delight on his face cos his pass reach an Arsenal shirt in middle? Evans should have gotten a yellow that would have made that Auba tackle to be a red. Smh.


I hope Arteta allows Leno to get back some minutes. It was his instructions Afterall that made him get into bad books anyways. Hopefully,the Confidence grows and he gets back.

BlueRayDick:
No be juju be that ?

This guy was very far from that attempt....yet he still reach there. That freekick is similar to the one messi scored vs Enyeama at World Cup. Enyeama didn't even attempt. He just froze.

Omo. Ramsdale no be here. To cap it all up, the cameraman had to show the delight on Leno's face. Its too much to not be proud about. Breathtaking!!!


Big big save! Too tight a corner to reach. Neuer-Class.

Jodera:
Dav..
Do you remember when I said let's give partey and Lokonga partnership time to gel? Shey you're seeing the result now.

Tho DM/CM that are mobile, can dribble, can pass and can tackle.
Abeg why our midfield no go better?
And the good thing is that they are just getting started

I saw that. And while i can say they got a good game, i won't say they make a better,solid pairing. Sloppy passes today were so so much.


Defensively, both have improved. And Partey was switched on for his attacking instinct. Overall, a great Performance. Still hard to believe its 5th we are now.

TimeTraveller:
Osimhen is bigger than all of them, and he has not even started yet.

They've both won UCL and other titles though. But I'm sure Osimhen is going to join them soon. Very soon. Nwakali too. Can't wait.

Meliforme:
I found this video on Youtube and decided to share.
Ejuke showings so far in the league, especially the current league season.
Not every of his displays were shown, for example, his last assist is not in the video.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBVfWc8Tl0U

This guy has good midfield and wing play and can be a counter-attacking threat.

I observed the following:

Good dribbling skills.
Holding on to the ball.
Good passing.
Speed.
Good finishing.

Good Vision to spot a free teammate
He just lacks final third effect, and seeing he's a really hardworker, that may soon be solved and tremendous in no time. At Afcon, he can come on and trouble a weakened defence for last 25mins. His style fits Liverpool and Arsenal. I imagine the work Klopp/De Hag will do on his finishing if he comes under them.

Firebrand!!
