Sir Bascovanveli, i hope you saw the Osun United brouhaha over Ighalo's transfer cut?


I'm shocked that while its wrong for such €10k to go to govt coffers, the club officials were about to flex with the cash if not for such timely intervention. So they can't do the right thing again? Na govt kon dey epp use the cash well by settling outstanding salaries. So much for club independence.



Meanwhile, Mikel back on radar. Farewell match!!


Rohr got us 7 Foreign borns since he started coaching SE. He try!

I Dont feel nothing as he now reps England. I believe its how he went about it that's making it not seem so big a loss. Wishing Saka the best in his career. Who's next? Oh, Eze.... Alright!!

TheSuperNerd:
UCL Draws in progress


Zaidu (Porto) vs Man City


Bonus:

Juventus and Barca drawn together.

Liverpool same group with Ajax and Serie A Assassins, Atalanta.


Hahahahahaha... Sweetness reborn.

The end of an era with cr7 and Messi. I want nothing less than both to be fully fit for the 2 legged affair. Anything ekse is gonna be sour.

Juve bout to steal Aouar deal.

Roland17:
My thing is, I am not saying Gab/Sali will be successful, in the same vein, can we argue they will be unsuccessful? No.. We have not watched them play to be able to evaluate them.

i await the day fresh blood dey that CB pairing. We need it.

Spy360:
Another option however risky was to bring Willian into midfield to add more bodies since Liverpool concentrated on the left. An extra man in the middle right would have allowed AMN push a bit forward on the left occupying Alex Trent-Arnold and freeing Auba more. This will either create more space for Auba to counter or force Arnold to retreat. The pressure on the left was much and I knew with time we would capitulate.

Willian in the middle would have brought goals. We just drop one of AMN or Elneny. But as you said, risky. The Fullbacks of Liv would roast us.

iamoyindamola:
simple
Elneny was holding ball and trying to get forward but xhaka God I fvcking hate this guy
Those defenders have been playing from back but with different keeper(martinez)

leno needs to start commanding o. Lol @ Xhaka. He needs competition.

Spy360:
It was good while it lasted. Many coaches couldnt have expected Arteta to come up with such a formation. But now that honey moon has passed. We MUST get a proper midfielder especially an AM.

This loss didnt even alloe one see the good contribution of Elneny. Truly Honeymoon don pass. Dunno why he'd allow Klopp express his own tactic. Whats that? Respect? Wisdom? Funny.

Im not against the outback try, but these defenders would never be perfect dor such a task.

Roland17:
When I saw the line up, it was a head scratcher like I said. Last week, I remember asking if we will see Saliba since he did not play the Carabao cup? Holding needs a stable player alongside him, I will cash in on him if the right offer came through and we have the back up in Chambers. He was just as confused as Luiz throughout the game. The compulsion to build from the back meant he was under intense pressure and struggled with his passing.

Ultimately, I will like to see a Gab/ Saliba combination soon so we can evaluate what we have at the back.

But those two, Luiz Holding, they supposed to be... Lemme not talk much. Cos i doubt GabSali can play the outback style as well as the former. Still yet. Holding supposed don settle for this team wella na.

GabSa will be a good one tho. And it irks me we have defenders but they aren't useful ATM. That irks me.

Who else is seeing that clip of the ref frustrated at Laca's miss?

Perhaps the +ve from the match is the beauty of the away jersey.

iamoyindamola:
No we need more defenders, the clowns we are parading cost us tonight

Gabriel dey na. Why he bench am? Holding can't perform against this cross teams. Yet he dey lineup. Coach mess up here o. Players can still upset liverpool if the right formation and tactic was used. Plus Ceb not starting. Smh

BlueRayDick:
Exactly! We preferred to sit deep when we should've come to the party like we did in the previous two encounters. Arteta clearly relied on Luiz exploiting the space behind loserpool's fullbacks to set up Auba or Willian for a run at their two CB's. After which he will sit deep and soak pressure once he scores.

It surely didn't go his way. I'm not even angry about the loss ; it's just a case of one's tactics being found out and nothing else.

when i saw Luiz in the lineup i suspected such a reason. But i felt Willian would have changed all that. Only to see him helping Bellerin for over 23mins. Nothing much in attack.


Baba better dey tweak things. Its unimaginable to have a silent Auba. Very stale. Klopp outsmarted Arteta here, but Arteta assisted him.

Once again, we need a middle we can rely on. Na field we get for now. Mid still dey Atletico.

BlueRayDick:
I still don't get how anybody is pinning this loss on Leno. This match was clearly lost by Arteta. His tactics failed and nothing else. Leno didn't concede any error goal; Arteta's tactics was deficient and we lost. Simple!

Anybody that disagrees with this no sabi ball. We started with garage duties insteade of Runway duties. Smh.

daveP:
Looking more of 3-1 than the desired 2-2!!

Martinez vs Liverpool next. If he keeps a clean sheet vs Liverpool, then Emirates is doomed. Lol


Lets bounce back vs Sheffield. Auba just dey one kine tonight sha.


5th position...

Roland17:
We need to find another set piece kicker for corners.. This is ridiculous

Oh, we get na. But na just salary him dey colet nowadays. Aspa Arteta dey do like he no need am inside pitch. Pepe wey suppose dey join them to nod in goal, na him dey cross so Robertson go epp am score goal.

I Dont get?

Leno!!!!!!


Parteeyyyy o... Soumares ooo. Aouar oooo. Lol


And we are Meeting them in eFL cup in a few days time. Chop another beating there. Lol

Luiz seem the only ball carrying defender in the backline to me. But unfortunately, he has to defend more than show his pass accuracy skills tonight. See possession sef? Leeds go pepper us if we try this one o. Baba needs to swap tactics fast in a live game. We just sat back for starters and expect the narrative to go out way?

I think its the team playing to Arteta's tactic rather. See commentator dey use style yab us. Our determination to start things from the back is killing the urgency of getting an equalizer. Smh.

Smh.

Looking more of 3-1 than the desired 2-2!!

Only a foolish set of players would allow a player that they supposed to plan how he'd get red, flourish so bad that all threats are now his solo effort till now. Im pissed. Mane on yellow, wey suppose calm dan... Or cautioned.... Just see how he's.... Arghhhhhh. Not even a marksman to limit his influence.

iamoyindamola:
See forgotten elneny they hold ball
But xhaka anywhere belle face

Ive concluded Xhaka needs competition. Haba. Im pissed o.

Even at Chelsea, Willian has never flourished playing against Liverpool. Well Red differs drom blue, or so Mikel thought.

iamoyindamola:
As them comet xhaka game open but na kola they hold xhaka since

E be like 5players are off in this match sef. Xhaka didnt do much to warrant his desired birthday gift of a win.

kokaneprodigy:
Them say na defense. It’s defense that’ll feed Auba.

For the tactic on here at least.
