By such logic, he eats buoyant on days they are perpetrators!!

By reasonable logic, he should have starve to death at the rate Nigerians are killed.


But like rocket, defies logic!!

Bonaventure Dennis and frank onyeka tipped to be recalled for world cup qualifiers against Liberia Sept 3rd

Good news!

Energetic boiz needed in that middle. Intensity!

Overall, August is a good month for SE players, capped, uncapped!!

Still yet to understand the reintroduction of IBB to our news outlets like some sort of reputable leader. What's wrong with these politicians??

One would think na better person bayii.

Foolish typical Nigerian style of argument. Two wrongs don't make a right. This is more or less like justifying Chibok girls abduction, etc, cos what those Afghani girls are about to go through is demonic.


Besides not all Afghans want the Taliban takeover, but wetin concern USA again?

I really feel for these young girls. Imagine there was no existing democracy to help consider yheir safety in circumstances like this? It will just be 11thcentury all over again.

Akinbahm:
It's stupid clowngate that make them look spectacular that day.

We both know this aint true. How will the italians that looked so fast, huffy and puffy and yet still full of flair bẹ downgraded like this?? No dey talk like this na.

TheLoneCitizen:
I think he will be available for next match. Was a knock not injury.

Meanwhile, Tammy Abraham to Roma is now done deal.

Di Marzio.

Some relief there.

If he maintains this, double figures would be seen before MD38.


Tammy Tammy!!

Best of luck to him. He Should come back stronger like Lukaku. Its the new Chelsea norm i think. Over 6 forwards lost this way, good or not, but all now doing better.

TheLoneCitizen:
Emmanuel Dennis. What a debut.

Showing what it looks like to cross a winger with a striker. Movement. Passing. First touch. But movement is the real deal.

He and Sarr will form a deadly duo this season.

One of the best first half debut from a Nigerian in the EPL.

5shots and on target. For a debutant, that's quite something. Afraid he's going to be out till October with that injury.

BlueRayDick:
You need to understand everyone has to play their part for u to play from back successfully.

Those balls he passes to players beside the box is normal, it's the player that gets the ball and the other players job to create space in order to beat their opponent's press. Nobody will allow u play from back easily except u draw them out of position and Ur players move the ball with sense. This is the area where players like Xhaka are deficient .

U see, we have players who are not suited for the pattern we are trying to play and that’s where the coach needs to do something before something do him

Youre finally getting my point. Its just not working, except weaker opponents that lack attacking/pressing power(i doubt any of the 19teams, especially those in the bottom half, would be walkovers in this regard this season)


Bottomline: predictability is the Achilles until flair paves the way. Till them


N:B- who wan edit that "finally reborn" from thread name abeg??

BlueRayDick:
What u are saying here is that whether the players upfront will win the ball or not the keeper should always play a long punt into the opponents half....Well I have news for u; that's the easiest way to lose a match; gifting Ur opponents the ball by playing aimless long balls.

Go and check Bruno Fernandes' first goal today ; the Leeds keeper did exactly what u are preaching here and it just took 3 to 4 untied touches for the ball to get to Bruno and the rest was history.

In fact check the first goal against us yesterday, an aimless clearance from our defender gifted Brentford a chance to build their attack that led to the goal.

There's a reason Tuchel and his Chelsea don't budey like u are advising.

I meant the defender/midfielder he's passing to near the box. Even if they can skin their way out of the tackle, he should try something else.


Aimless budey is when they've closed down and no option atall. Better safe than a santa clause gift. Christmas is still far.


Well,till we get sense to link up aerial balls from GK.

BlueRayDick:
Exactly my thought. If they don't have COVID-19, which kind illness go give u one week in advance notice

Word on the street is that Auba and Lacazzette were dropped due to their attitude in training which Arteta feels was not good enough. Then there's also the gist that the rest of the team is not happy with Arteta's decision.

The troubling thing is this; is the rest of the team comfortable with the shitty performance they've been putting out lately? Do they think Auba and Lacazette being senior men should be allowed to do as they like? Or do they actually think Arteta is not the right man for the job?

Whichever it is, obviously we are 4cked as it stands .

Arteta's stance of tryna get rid of them to feel in control is going to be the biggest lesson of his new coaching career. It might earn him this anticipated sack. But.... Owner no get sense too. Nobody can tell me Laca won't have seen three chances and not score one, even a pk sef.

Fading Crest.....

He's needed!!


If we want to end our lack of finisher for every attack. Even for our crossing game, we still can't get heads to touch the incoming cross...


And that Artetaful Dodger keeps standing. I think he drifts off into space, thinking. He's not mentally present.

iamoyindamola:
The man fit vex cancel the contract to sponsor arsenal

He should talk to Dangote and Ek. Kroenke got no chance against these two.


Besides who fit edit the title of this thread. Reborn should getat Abeg.

BlueRayDick:
I really do not get this constant blame u guys keep putting on Leno for trying to start play from the back as he's instructed.

Didn't u notice that all the times he plays a long punt into Brentford's half Balogun failed to win most of not all the resultant aerial battles?.....Like we don't have players strong in the air who can win ball off goalkicks like we had in dem Giroud. It just amounts to waste of possession playing budey like u people are hoping.

If u don't believe this go and watch the replay of the game. Almost all the budey from Raya either won or keenly contested by their front men while ours keep finding it's way back to midfield or to their goalkeeper after their defenders must have dealt with it.

One thing is clear, Arteta seem not to have an idea of how to solve this problem and I see more teams captilizijgbon it; teams like Crystal place, Aston Villa, Burnley, Brighton etc will make Arteta regret this stupid Ben white transfer

I'd absolve him of blame the moment he uses his head to see that he should do something else once his guys are man marked near the 18. We should not be getting scared from such mistakes. Its now a norm. We should rather be getting scared about opponents breaking our line down. He in on the pitch. He should be a Kepa sometimes. Haba. Whether they are good at Receiving the pass or not, he should get a new way. We don't need this kind of palaver so early and among our issues.

The Professor in the La casa de papel

Frank!!


Pic 2: something we are all anticipating. Its short overdue.


Pic 3: Ben White vs Lukaka next weekend


Pic 4: Arsenal got a whole President to have a troubling wound down to his weekend. Paul Kagame of Rwanda.

I suggest he stops watch them. Make they no give the old man heart Attack abeg. We still wantu Visit Rwanda.

andrew444:
Most Nigerian fans no be fans

Barca have fans more than all epl teams apart from man u which is even 50/50

Nigerians fans opinion always on the mud

Andrew, i think you're generalizing big time. Especially with the epl vs barca fandom numbers. Ya very wrong on that aspect. Wonder why you'd even use it to prove a point, especially in Nigeria Club fans matter. This isnt beer parlor talk, be less insulting now.


If most Nigerian fans no be fans, its now the nigerian barca fans that are the exception? Using your own logic!!

Catfishing:
The best way to support Arsenal

See ,use your real account to troll Arsenal na. Na Arsenal o. Shuu

Jodera:
Before switching away from arsenal match in 2nd half, I could see some purpose in Saka game, but Pepe, mehn no hope. Even if dem double down on him, no invention, yet he's one of the senior player in that attack.

As for Leno, I can't just understand how a keeper don't know when to pass and wen to budey.. Like how is he a professional if he can't even apply wisdom in dealings?

Arteta has a whole month to implement his idea into the team during preseason, but it looks we're even worse off than last season wen we didn't have one preseason sef

The only consolation is the fans that's moving out of the stadium early. At least, more of this result and Arteta will be sacked unlike last season where the board or Arteta didn't receive any stadium pressure

Saka didn't adapt to the urgency so ill rate him lower in 2nd half impact than pepe. Tierney was the best attacking threat.


Lets not lie, even an NPFL or PSL manager that notices this areas about Arsenal will plan for either eliminating those threats by hook or crook.


Simoly put, the Arteta approach is absolutely predictable. Not even any new tweak for a new season. Stale.


Expect his sack this season. That's if he doesnt have the mumu button of the CEO like he does have Leno's!

jihday:
football didn’t start in 2008, Barca have always been a big team even before Ronaldinho joined them

To a large degree, i don't think most Nigerian fans are true, absolute fans before hitv came. I hope you get my angle. But we meuve.

Ebukacute:
Yeye team...
Ordinary BREADford... How una wan take beat Chelsea with jambody lukaku or city the defending champions...that will be 0 point in 3 matches... 20 on the table... Shameless club

Lets not even start with the downgrading of the teams we play. They do their homework and with the tantrum+psychological games inside the pitch.


They know what they came to do. If we have such depth, we'd not be where we are.

Brentford did the right gameplan amd it worked well.


If we get the right game plan right, we'd beat Chelsea even if they just won supercup(i don't think we will tho)


Cant even be cynical to get an opponent all jibed up. Its part of the game. We need Dani Alveses and Chiellinis in the Defence in terms of that aspect. All of them dey do fine boy upandan. Who e epp. Ooze fright!! They cant!!!

Jodera:
I don't know about you guys oo.. But to me, aside Arteta, the 2nd greatest scam is Pepe.

Man will flop from match day 1 to match day 35, then pick form in match day 36-38. Then he'll give us hope entering into the new season, and the cycle repeats itself.

He Did such on his debut season towards our fa cup win, did that again last season. Me right from when he scored double brace in the last 2 useless matches we had last season, I just confirm say na scam him be, reason why I wasn't moved by his preseason form

Are the players upfront to blame really? Didn't you see Pepe was double marked from start to finish? Lol. He can't beat those two built gymnasts. Forget. If we are volatile to put blame, na Arteta o.

He's the sole reason that Leno keeps being robotic. I dunno which mumu button he dey use hold Leno. I still dont.


Leno will be the most obedient GK in the world no doubt!! Chai. Raya kept budeying the ball and got two goals. Our build from back crap only made these defenders look foolish. I think the defenders that are still not far from average should not be burdened with the job of Midfielders for now. A new approach...

andrew444:
I will never follow the goat to psg ,Never in my life

Barca has been there before the goat so we will continue

Goat no go play forever

Even AC Milan fans that year don spread. No p. I get your angle.

Raya and the Last Dragon!!!

andrew444:
Anybody that love Barca because of Messi is not a Barca fan

People loved Madrid because of cr7 but they are still not a fan of Madrid

I have been supporting Barca since the days of Ronaldinho so why will I love Barca because of Messi ?

Please don’t compare Barca to arsenal abeg ,there have been Ronaldinho and co ,why didn’t arsenal fans follow Henry to Barca

The last time I checked Messi came from la masia and wasn’t purchased from another club ,man you fans no even join Madrid

Abeg you guys should stop this beer parlour talk

Same logic im giving you, just follow Messi to PSG. Its over abeg. No be beer palor.

Block the centre of the box 18 then put two guys on Pepe... Lobatan!!

andrew444:
Wetin do Barca ?

The last time I check Na Messi comot and no be the club

isokay. You won't be the last. Barca fans doing like its not Messi that is the reason they love Barca. Similar to the Arsenal's predicament. Thiery made the fans love Arsenal and now its all downhill ever since.

Frank's tactics is just getting all successful. Knowing how to hurt Arsenal, then knowing just when to stop and then change and then start again. That's a manager. Then he turns and gingers the crowd to cheer his boys on. Now has Arteta ever done that? Cheer the fans to cheer the team? Emery was the last to do just that. Smh Arteta. He can't even connect with the fans. Oh yeah, its first game of season. But so it is for Brentford, and they are winning after a 50yr absence.

See that "matches won when coming from a losing scoreline"

Chai Arsenal ooo

Wait, is Andrew still repping Barca?

Spy360:
Sambi is far more decent and tidy.

Well, you got a point there

162 passes and 1 goal.


Can Arsenal ever replicate this record this season against top 6 teams?

Roland17:
In case anyone has forgotten, Arteta offered Xhaka a 4 year extension..

Wow. Does that mean he's the new skipper? But honestly, with the right mix of midfield, Xhaka won't be bad. Like see him at the Euros. But i won't lie, the on and off go plenty this season. 2yrs is better.
