We scored 2 corner kicks at afcon, we aren't that bad. I think Simon is a decent crosser of the ball

We sabi put hope on this word "decent" for this thread sha.


We need fierce, outstanding, not decent. Let the fear of the ball getting to an SE winger be noticed in our opponents. Ehen.

Edopesin:
Lampards approach to the game was superb but we still have to work on defending set pieces and avoid conceding them

Lets be Frank, Lampard didnt do anything to tactically outplay City. City Errors gave the upper hand. Not any approach kankan.


As for KDB goal, even Casillas no fit reach that ball. Van der Sar may come close, same for Buffon, but that was just classy from KDB.

komekn:
Chelsea score

Man city a man down a man after red card too Fernandinho.

It's looking very interesting, Tega has brought the much needed pace city defender pushed back.

6 minutes to go ➕ added time.

Brazilians won the league for The Kops.

TheGoodJoe:
How can you in any way blame Gundogan there? He was clearly in his zone, in control of the ball, even signalled Mendy to return back to his zone. Mendy misplaced the pass.

So explain to me why you would blame Gundogan in any way.

I can bet you won't reply.

Permit me to say that despite their error.... chai.....this is why i love John Terry...


Both of them still had lots of space to cover the path Pulisic will eventually pass. But these dumb thinking made them slow down. Smart Pulisic noticed the slow down and by his side for that matter instead of in his front. Pulisic quickly capitalized with speed. Mendy dey do Racoon Pace still yet. Smh.


Should i say they were too overtechnical in that buildup.


Twas 2 vs 1 for Christ's sake o. And this wasnt a Hazard, a Messi or CR7. Yet.

The errors are clear, but the greater erro is not stopping his path to goal.

komekn:
Let's be absolutely honest that's a slight on Ramos to make that comparison they arenot on the same level. . All our CB 's are at the very best average not much more.

Meanwhile l am about to watch Chelsea play against City. It's going to be very tough.

I cannot even predict it can go anyway.

But looking at team selection l can see Chelsea winning this.

I know TheGoodJoe will not AGREE.

for starters, your prediction came true!! Bravo.


2ndly, i didnt slight Ramos. Just stated that he works and practices fk taking, and as such, our defenders dont do just that to come out good.


We need setpiece kings from these CBs, RBs, LBs. Its a good plus on any portfolio.

Not to talk of Midfield

Danielnino00:
If Mahrez has Etebo's freekick abilities, he probably wouldn't have scored that goal against us at the AFCON..

Etebo is a poor set piece taker...

oh oh, that's true.


I can't point to any SE defender right now that can do what Sergio Ramos did days ago.


The midfielders....? I don't wana reason that angle.


I heard Ramos watched clips of CR7 fks to just mimic the style(if you know Ramos and his clownish acts, you'd understand)
And that was just.....


Don't these guys have the thought that this stuff is about practice rather than luck?

elyte89:
Read dt adarabioyo has switched his allegiance to Nigeria

Aw true?

Very true

Danielnino00:
It's really dangerous bro..

These crosses and headers can be useful in crucial moments..

Imagine if Mahrez had Etebo's free kicks abilities... He most likely wouldn't have scored that goal against us at the AFCON ..

Nigerian players,and indeed a lot of African players need to work more on the technical aspects of their games..

Mahrez had Etebo.... That part i no get am.

Subzero047:
Can you explain to me what this means?

oh

SE is Super Eagles


UnSE-esque means unusual of typical Super Eagles style as far back as Glory days with our Golden Generation.

Danielnino00:
That's why I said "it wasn't exactly accurate" .. It was heading for goal kick until Musa controlled it with his foot....

We really need to work on that aspect of our game... Crossing and header...

I hammered on this before the last afcon yet it seems its not yet considered serious yet.... And its unse-esque to not have these two dangerous abilities.

JayromWrites:
Funny how anything that comes from England is the best while Spain shouldn't be rated

Tosin better than Omeruo

Asin why na?


Sevilla and Valencia will surely be a Top 8 team in England back to bavk to back

Wetin Spurs dey play?

Its not that easy. Valencia will crumble under the intensity the epl has

.injuries and all inclusive. We love to say they are tactically better than most epl teams but if in epl, they might just struggle with small teams that are bent on tackling hard and rough, plus officiating again.

Renerd:
What can I study with this result.(pics attached below).

Actually, while in school I know what I was doing, I did take those subject for the purpose of studying medicine, because I love it so I purposely drop anything relating to engineering.

But after my secondary education, I had no opportunity to further my education ( being an orphan), therefore I took to hustling, and after some year, I'm now preparing to further my education. But I discovered that i cannot continue with medicine, due to the nature of my work, I won't be opportune to combine the stress of my job with the demands of studying medicine, so I am thinking of diverting.

But the problem involved is that, my result is only good for medicine, and can't be use for engineering, considering jamb requirements, therefore educationalist in the house, what course do you suggest I go for, with this result apart from medicine. (picture attached below)

Fynestboi, richiez, pls help include in featured post

Hop onto Computer Science courses. Trust me and major in an aspect that ticklee you as you progress per year. Its so in vogue now and lucrative due to the adaptation in the Nigerian Circles.

Blueelf:
Its just one match.

Let him do this consistently for two seasons first

Iwobi is grossly overrated

Martial score hatrick, everywhere scatter. Its just one match na. Martial is overrated.

Joebie:
Dude this is the internet. If a moniker does not know you personally on a faceless forum and you get all sensitive because they abused your mother they don't even know, then you have a problem. And if you go further to get mad at other monikers for not defending you, then you have a bigger problem taking it too personal. We are not in primary school or kindergarten when someone says your papa or your mama and then you start to act up. get a skin. To start with he called me childish, so recalling that event is very appropriate.

if you want to know people who have respect for their parents, then get to know them personally in real life.

Haba, Undertaker don retire na. The bell don ring finish. Let the matter remain buried na.

Arsenal: Bukayo Saka is now the biggest contract problem
by Andrew Dowdeswell

Bukayo Saka was Arsenal’s best player in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Brighton. With a year remaining on his current deal, the 18-year-old now poses the biggest contract problem to the club.

Arsenal have lots of crucial decisions to make this summer. Mikel Arteta is entering his first summer transfer window at the helm and, following Unai Emery’s disastrous 18-month tenure, he has lots of loose ends to tie up.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the most prominent problem. The 31-year-old has a year left on his contract, looks increasingly disinterested at the club, but is the top goalscorer, captain, and Arteta is keen to keep him. There is no perfect solution to his future.

There are others, too. Dani Ceballos will return to Real Madrid on loan, David Luiz may have already played his last game for the club, Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis both have contracts that expire next summer, while Mesut Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan present huge drains on the wage bill, so much so that the club has repeatedly tried and failed to offload them.

But for all of these issues, and all of them will need to be solved this summer, the biggest contractual conundrum that Arsenal must somehow find an answer to relates to young Bukayo Saka, who is quickly establishing himself as one of the brightest young talents in the Premier League.

The 18-year-old has been superb in his first season with the senior squad, especially since Arteta arrived. Initially at left-back and now in midfield, either on the wing or an inverted central midfield role that allows him to drift towards the left flank, Saka continues to prove that he is capable of producing on the senior stage. He was the best player on the pitch in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Brighton.

However, like with almost anything vaguely positive for Arsenal at present, this is a catch. And with Saka, it is a rather large and looming one. The teenager has stalled discussions regarding a new contract and could leave on a free next summer if he continues to reject the Gunners’ advances.

Arteta is keen to keep Saka, as he has said publicly, and Arsenal do not need reminding what can happen when you lose high-quality young players on the cheap. Serge Gnabry, Donyell Malen, Jeff Reine-Adelaide and Ismael Bennacer have all flourished since leaving the Emirates on the cheap or for free. Saka cannot be added to that list.

How the club can solve the Saka problem is difficult to determine. If he refuses to sign a new deal, as Gnabry did in 2016, the club may have to sell in the hope that they can recoup a high transfer fee before losing him for nothing. And in the current climate, any fee they get will not be what he might be worth in three, four or eight years time.

Keeping Saka is of the utmost importance. Arteta knows this. Arsenal know this. And yet, there might be nothing that they can do about it. This is now the biggest contract problem to solve.

typical naija kid, but with sense.


They should give him 1/3 of Luiz wages na. Why drag foot?


Is Saka happy with his role? Forget professional?

Who else noticed the tactics played by all epl matches today were very strict?


Everton planned to defend and Iwobi did just that too. He did what his coach wanted.


See Grealish today too, and Kante?

No be everybody fit be Dinho wey go hear wetin coach wan kon do another and get result instanta o. Lol.


His numbers were low as a result, but he did what Old Carlo wanted. Besides the Toffees screaming on Twitter arent bashing Richie o.

Isokay.


Make i cross leggee abeg. His SE numbers are okay.

fabyom:
Tomori and Tammy will not make the England Euro squad. They were warned but failed to listen! Tomori is gone for good. 10 minutes international career against Kosovo. What a pity. If Saka and Eze like, they should listen to advise and play for Naija, if they don't, Nigeria has nothing to lose. They would have only themselves to blame.

Hmmm


I think time will play a major factor if its gonna be a regret or not. But truly they may have themselves to blame. But na their lives.

TheSuperNerd:
PSG already have a "9" in Icardi.

And yes, time will tell for Sadiq. We hope one of the very decent bids turn into a move for him.

Firepower nla.

Reelafonja:
According to the Bible the yardstick for making heaven is giving your life to Christ. So if a young child dies at a young age and can't confess Jesus as Lord because he/ she can't talk or too young to comprehend.

Will he/she go to heaven.

Bible scholars

To Confess, one needs to make a decision to forsake sin and recognise Jesus as Lord and personal Saviour. Confessing after Conviction of Sin and Repentance.


Babies are firstly innocent and cant make such decisions yet as the mental buildup isnt yet there yet. Decision making is key, and that comes with self consciousness and thinking abilities, assimilation of who Jesus is to the world.


Therefore this exempt babies to me and since they haven't started taking such in both ways, they return to their Creator.

Edopesin:
Arsenal problems are bigger than Iwobi, I'm even glad he left sef, I just hope he starts pulling numbers again

The sold 1/3 of their creativity when Iwobi was pushed out. Then 1/2 when they pushed Ramsey off cos of Willock or whatever.

TheSuperNerd:
Exactly my thoughts too for Sadiq. Time will tell.

Is it true PSG will be needing a 9 soon cos Cavani is leaving!!


Lyon fits Sadiq. That way Rohr will eye him better. Time will truly tell.

edi287:
Forget Raul is a fraud. Go through his time at Barca and you'll see the mediocre signings they were making.
Look at how Raiola is trying to dump Justin Kluivert at the club despite being shit.
The guy is shady...always working with agents to give us shit average players.
Luiz on 125k a week is unforgivable.

Until Arsenal get a sensible transfer system, the rot will dip them further down that table. Its not like Liga or Bundes that some teams are like Mathematical constants every year. Even Liverpool is enough proof.


Shameful Arsenal are in this sort of mess.

andrewbaba44:
We also know Chelsea Man U can’t win their remaining games

Which yeye manager

Nuno na Portuguese nah

Rodgers na irish sha but still British sha ,he is not new to the epl and he has done well with Liverpool before

Top 3 is secured to me

LML


4th to 8th all have 8games to do whatever.


Question is how are Leic gonna be ready for UCL football once again? Decent but need more legs.

edi287:
Stupid fans were rejoicing yet we didn't bother to replace him.
Reiss Nelson is a fraud. Raul go destroy that club las las

Leave Raul o. Face that Kroenke and his Mgt team. Lol. I wonder what Partey is coming to do, if no be jazzwork. Ucl team to uncertainty fc?

Those 3boys are frauds to me. WRS trio.

Very laughable no one has actually filled in Iwobi's shoes so far. An unfruitful, unproductive midfield with very insane stats of mediocrity. Ozil collecting £8k/min for every min he hasn't played this season makes it worse.


That's like 2k extra of what Pukki earns per week. Mehn...

Roland17:
Guen own na Dey make laff pass.. Dem dey bully una for pitch for 90 mins as una Dey kiss ground..you no fight oh.. Na when dem Don kpo-kpo us finish you begin fight Maupay with chokeholds. Abeg, FA do me a favor and suspend him for 3 games.

lol. guenchild son hairstyle.


The club needs a revamp, overhaul.


For now, i suggest the thread title be changed. This one no be reborn kankan abeg. And no be army be this. Na unit


That 2017 fa cup tag too. Comot am.


Nostalgia too much. Arsenal official twitter handler and flashbacks be like 5n6. 8yrs ago, 12yrs ago.


Nothing of the recent thats worthy of celebrating. All history.

TheSuperNerd:
For Sadiq, we hope just one works out. If the bid made is not up to par, that could be a problem in negotiations. Time will tell.

I'd love to see him in the Ligue 1. enough of Italy.

komekn:
Very very impressive today, that shot was with his right foot from distance. He probably was Arsenal greatest attacking threat particularly in the first half.

He seem the onky silver lining in Arteta's Arsenal to be frank.

11assists from that position...


He deserves a payrise.

Arsenal messed up for selling Iwobi. They need someone like him. But considering they rather use him by the wings, We wont have seen the emergence of Saka. And besides, that left pairing of Kolasinac and Iwobi would have continued to stale levels.

andrewbaba44:
Imagine Leicester comming 3rd and wolves comming 4th i

E go too sweet me

Lol


English papers will now begin to praise their manager to high heavens, etc. Lol

But that would mean they winning 6/8fixtures left.

TheSuperNerd:
@bolded... Please Dave. No dey remind pesin of this kain thing naa. That was Ndidi's one bad moment in that game. Very very crucial moment. He's still one of our very best players and possibly the one Super Eagle of this new generation not far from World class status but in that very moment, his error cost us. He remains one of my top favorite players in the team shaa. I believe he has learnt from it.

No vex


I had to. Cos it seems we want to only remember our darling and leave out others that contributes to the mix. We don't need to do like we watching back of tv na. Lol


Etebo is reliable. Until an upgrade is seen, no p. I personally want that upgrade, trust me. But that's no excuse to underplay what he offers to this current SE.

elunico:
The keyword here is "style".

I'm not talking about achievements.

Oh okay. Of cos, their style is different. If it brings results then its will be a welcome upgrade.

Subzero047:
This what I want to know, proved himself at what?

At the role Rohr gave him.

Subzero047:
He runs around for 90 minutes but in the end he doesn't create chances or assist or score or become SE top destroyer so what exactly does he do?

Okay. And that makes him unreliable? And vs Azeez?


We forget Afcon so fast. He aint no hero to me, but don't dare underplay his significance on the field of play for the SE.


3tourneys now and he's proven himself well. I'd love to see Azeez in at least 1 tourney outdoing what he currently does and you can shoot as you like. He didn't cause the fk that denied us a chance at the trophy o. Isokay
