Better than Noni? I don't think so, he's been decent coming off the bench buh whenever he starts something is always missing from him, he's not at required level for a championship hopeful like Arsenal... Maybe as a squad player like you said which still leaves them where they were last season on that wing

Strange decision especially if better quality isn't coming in for LW position they will still fall short again this season...

Trossard o. Yeah he's better. Nelson is arguable but more talented IMO.

If na 80m dey for emergency buy, they should just avoid Jackson o.
I'll take Wissa over him.

Shegzdave:
Men Dem

Just see intimidating height. Omo😂😂😂😂


Ontop everything, Saliba still dey fear woman?
In the middle of Alessia and Olivia😂😂

dominique:
So Trossard will be staying at the Emirates after all. The board must have seen that he's still a decent LW despite his age. Signing someone new as Nelli cover could be risky.

Na how they wan use Lokonga and Nelson naim dey worry me now. At least his own on and off go reduce now that competition plenty, although we want a better LW. This guy better show he's way better than Noni clear o.

This will be a sweet season for Odegaard to take all of us, including rival fans and pundits by surprise. Imagine he ends this season with 25+ G/A, doing it with vex. E go be the icing on the cake. Make that hesitation comot him body.


Saliba in 3 consecutive PFA XI. Omo!! Saka and Martin need to return to it and with that coveted EPL trophy this time.


Rice>>>>>>Enzo+KaiseeDont

Familia

Im so happy tonight. Chelsea fans can weep. All their world best no even smell this award since Kante. Shuuuu.


Saliba and Gabu height is indeed intimidating mehn. Chai. No wonder Sesko just lock up despite his own tallness. E know say e don meet tallest for back. 😂😂😂

Raya gave us this game.

MSGAMBLE9:
How Ode play 90mins shows MA hasn't changed, we miss Partey physicality and control, I expect Nørgaard to come in for the ineffective Ode to stabilize the middle...

On United, omo that Mbeomo and Cunha if well utilise will come good for ( which I won't like, my whole family are Man-Red)... We reduces the space allowed for Mbuemo which neutered their attacks in 2nd half and rendered them toothless...

Amorim should lead that team to top 4 if he solves the backline properly. He can't be relying on Maguire and Shaw at this level.

But 6 away wins
All 6 ending in 0-1 at Old Trafford?
Wow. We own them. But I'll never be satisfied till we do that 8-2 back.

Roland17:
This is extremely poor but let’s get the 3 points abeg

The yellow cards is the highlight of terrible decisions today from the players. We should be doing better than the 6 opening games of last season. Chai

MSGAMBLE9:
Partey? We seem to lack his composure and control in this game

i know we want an alternative to Odegaard right now, but if this is how it goes, na Partey we go miss pass. That guy always delivers vs Man U.

The take away from here is how fast Arteta made a change of dynamics to defend. Old Trafford na tough ground for us. But this win has opened up new mentality going forward. Amorim will cook this season no doubt with that front 3.

MSGAMBLE9:
They are there for the taking in transition buh all thanks to Ode decision making so far

Shame..

E dey vex me cos once e start my mind don dey ready for the disappointment the next 2 seconds. Is Saka missing Partey?

MSGAMBLE9:
Half time : United the far better side so far knowing they are behind... Whatever is wrong with Ode needs fixing, the midfield hasn't settled and we won't win anything with Nelli as the go-to man on the Left... An Half littered with mistakes and bad decision making


We should be far ahead now...

that counter attack, i was expecting him to drift to his wing to open up space for Odegaard, he stayed put. Smh. No contribution so far this half. There's an expressway down that man u middle and we've failed to utilize it. Annoying.

Cunha in particular have hbp to Raya. Raya pause dey catch breathe. Abi na sun dey affect Sali and Gabi ni? Mbeumo is such a space utilizer.


Just see Odegaard having 3 chances to shoot during a counter and he now decide to shoot one weak shot out of 4. He lose ball that made them counter us. This guy no wan change sha.


Saka, Rice and Martinelli have ghosted so far. Na Calafiori get most shot this half. Omo. Gyokeres heavy passes once he drift to wing. Dorgu is a gem sha. Man u sha leave Midfield for Odegaard and Zubi. Na soso long long passes. Bruno ghosting.

Hattrick at most

Ppogbae:
If we want to improve the NPFL, submitting a bid for AFCON wold be a great step. This will force us to renovate/build new stadia, adopt modern technologies and lay the foundational infrastructure needed for the domestic clubs. After the tournament, the new/refurbished stadia won't go to waste as the clubs will occupy them.

This has NEVER made the administrators to ever get serious with Sports overall.

You've forgotten the 2009 u17 world cup incidents with Jack Warner? How there was money but these guys kept treating the tournament like it was not as important as it ought to be?


That aside, did they ever maintain the stadias used for the u17 at all? If this one is not abandoned, it is now a cash cow. If not a cash cow, one NPFL team has used it to a state where it is not befitting for even secondary school kids to use.

We'll need at least 200billion naira to host AFCON. With the borrow borrow our leaders dey do upandan, they'll see it as something that can't bring ROI. We suppose start from wafcon which is easier to host but No, they no go wan start from there. And then this Insecurity issue. In 09 there was same issue but it didn't affect the tournament sha.

We need the big old money men to invest in the league like Soname and it will get better from there. We need actual billionaires as owners of these clubs. All of them sabi dubai owners wey fit close eye drop $1m but they no sabi sell am as business to such anyway.

Odunayaw:
The perfect blow would have been if it was also a local coach in charge of the team.

Hopefully this will provoke the league to imitate excellence. There are at least 5 coaches in the league who could become something to be proud of.

I think the Keshi success is the foundation they're building all of this on. It has led to delulu. If a local voach failed, they'll still not want to wake up from. The delulu.


That rotten spot they refuse to touch, they'll soon touch it-that league needs restructuring and modern football laws. Till then, make we dey look wall.

The 10years in women's league claims by Rasheedat is making more noise than the non-payment of $100k by presido

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! 😨😨😨😨
Nigeriaaaaaa. Argghhhhhhhhhhhhh

Truidstarr:
I think the points deduction will be done before the qualifiers start. I believe strongly we will qualify.

Im mentally prepared for any outcome at this point. The myopic lots at NFf want to eat their cake, have and hide it. They forget the advantage of stability in all their decision making. I guess they love luck more than preparation. All the best to them

Truidstarr:
Since Enyimba last won the CAF champions league in 2004 which Nigerian club side has even come close? Is it also Chelle's fault since 2004?

That's the point im making exactly. But i am not going to put full blame on the players, hence me putting small on Eric.


I hope those rabble-rousers and old twisting tigers in nff that ALWAYS feel the Super Eagles coach MUST coach the CHAN EAGLES, i hope their eyes don clear. Na the Late Keshi success make them start that nonsense. Mtchew.


Overall, i pray this is not a red flag towards wcq? Nff should be doing all to ensure SA point is deducted o. They never ever have a sense of good prep until kasala burst.

Overall, players both home and foreign messed up our football this season.

Odunayaw:
It's the Nigerian way of just beating chest kiri

At least the supporters and hypers of this league can now rest. If na oyinbo come coach this team, na similar outcome imo.

Im surprised many are still looking down on Sudan. Al Merrikh and Al Hilal player make up the core now. These two teams are on the dream list of many NPFL players and these two teams sabi ball in Caf Champions League while we only have 2 teams in top 50 caf club rankings.


If you're on 2.0 and everyone else is on 5.0, then you now upgrade to 4.5 and feel you've arrived, look well well, the 5.0s are now on 7.5 upwards. So the thing we call progress will now be as everyone else dey upgrade before.


For what it's worth, i hope this connect style dies soon. It is killing our football since days of Macauley and Fortune Chukwudi.


Remo won the league in style but they still need a lot to be done. If they mess up on the continent, we'll understand that we can fully blame the quality of players and little on chelle. Till then.

Me still stand on the Fact that they help am pick this team. Make we tok true. Selection of list for manager na Naija way. E dey. E loud or e no loud, e dey. We can smiff and feel and see it. No be today.


Terrible decision makers are in that NFF. I guess some lucky wins adds to their delulu hence they press on with more terrible decisions.

Nonsense and ingredients

Terrible mentality by these players. Can't even pass the ball or read the game. Meanwhile, Chelle looks like he still doesn't know the strengths and weaknesses of these guys. Why did they even hand over the duty to him? Na by force? His own approach sef get kleg. But what do you get when you have technically deficit players with you anyway. What a combo of disaster!!!

iamoyindamola:
If calafiori stay fit, martinelli will play ahead of Eze
The deal I don't understand is this madueke own when we could have gotten Eze since

Madu is a multiplayer. Not that i rate him actually but it is obvious he is here to play the Sterling game for either wing. Arteta just decided to prioritize his left foot for crosses at LW. Else na "backup" to Saka he be. 😂😂😂

Unofficial backup. So we have both Nelli and Noni that can switch to either wing.

Shegzdave:
E go touch everybody na just time

Especially that Neto. 😹

mine3112:
Abeg na juju dey follow Thomas Partey ni? You left Arsenal that offered you 250k per week and declined it and went to Villareal to get 60k. Please what do we call this one abeg?

Me i believe the ongoing case might be the factor. The club has really tried to make sure the case didn't start while he was still with us. But everything still seems sketchy. Bottom line was he needed to leave even if na 600k we offered.

iamoyindamola:
Yes we need him more than MLS
If he can stay fit

At least he should break Tomiyasu record. Lol. Cala to start and MLS to replace will be such a great sub level. And then they can rotate the order and cup games like that.

On the other side, Ben White and Timber.... Timber is the starter. But that chemistry between Saka and White, especially now that Gyokeres will drag away shirts from two of them..... 😎

Shegzdave:
No lies
Etikite-Ekitipikin
Wirtz-Wheat
Sesko-tekno
Gyokeres-see no trophy

Na Groceries dem call after that Villareal game. One Chelsea fan coin am. Make season start sha. Delap, Pedro and Neto go get their own coinage. For now, dem dey enjoy the banters. Lol

iamoyindamola:
But the flashes are there
Waiting for him

No let arteta fan boys see wetin you type, you are comparing almighty arteta with glasnas
Disrespect buruku

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One joy for this season will be the fitness of Cala. Guy balls with Nelli.

TemporaryHansel:
Joffrey Baratheon?

That's a character in GOT.

Palace pk winner boy resembles Joffrey

iamoyindamola:
Eze didn’t put body in this game
He no wan get injury

Kon miss pk like Madueke. Abeg make both of them sha avoid pk for us going forward 😂😂😂

At least i know now why he delayed.

But this their manager don equal Arteta for trophies won already o, thank to that young lad, Joffrey Baratheon, that took the last pk to give them the win.
