I can't deny the fact that Arteta sometimes doesn't get it right, and then there's this his stubbornness of sticking to what works for him even when a change might change events. And you can't also deny the fact that there are games when his in-game management pays off. That psg first leg, I believe that if Partey had started that match the result would have been different, and the second leg is the directly related to the result of the first leg. We had better scoring opportunities over 180minutes especially the second leg. If our attackers were pro-active do you think we would be having this conversation?.

Probably. But with all the resting and all he played 2nd leg and still.

Let's assume we have everything else right, the major crux is this empty attacking depth. No game changer like Alexis. We need that even if na 2 per season. Nobody should be feeling indispensable upfront if they're not giving double figure in G and A separately. We need to learn from PSG. But Inter losing treble and getting Inzaghi sacked.....
Arteta is comfortable mehn

Why are you adding sterling and neto

So inzaghi was sacked for bottling treble while arteta was praised for bottling the league back to back
This is serious
As for zubimendi if he comes the passion won’t be there, we should have alternative

No too loud am.

If person wan drop evidence today eh. This "amusement park" go turn panel of inquiry

Omo. I weeep

Good enough for competing for top 4 but never ever good to snatch a title with the quality of rivals/opponents

None of them here can best Mane or Salah in any way

List of outgoing. 20

I get your point, but I know no one who saw prime wingers up till today will just make fun of the club like that. It's OK to state the obvious and push your opinion without trying to make the club a laughing stock in the eyes of rivals, that's even worse than anything else. Giving rivals the right and points to make gest of the club. But what do I know?..
Regarding that bayern game last season, a lot was corrected from it. Even against psg, if only our attackers were clinical it would have been a different game altogether.

Tgey aren't making fun. They're seeing the decline in quality over the years. In fact they don't even use Henry again. Just Sanchez and Auba is enough to use and for just these two, big decline.

Is recruitment changing that? Big NO
Is tactics changing any of that? Big NO
Is there desperate plans to make a difference? Acquisition of Sterling alone gives an answer

If we queue up better ex-players and legends to soro soke alone, you will hear there's a problem that is still ongoing-the board gets the stick for that.

But if it comes to the current manager, issues yapa.

He had no visible counter plan to PSG. Over 180mins. 1st leg home defeat should be enough to restore factory settings, but he came to play same crap approach and then we came alive in 20mins after coffin don nail. Lol.


To be absolutely sincere, i miss the era of managers that had in game counter plans, especially in UCL campaign.
Inter lost woefully cos they had no counter plan. 5-0 is historically woeful. If we were there, it won't be like that truly. But we need to do what it takes

We can't keep relying on 1st team guys that will dry out and go to Luth again. This season is lesson enough.

Ironically, Symptoms still persist

You don't get some of us point, we understand the need for striker but it didn't happen. And talking about bayern game last year, don't tell me you didn't notice the improvement in that area this ucl campaign?. We need a striker and with how they're handling both Sesko and Gyokeres matter, I know one of them will surely play for us. But then we need recruitment in other areas too. Criticism is essential, and highly welcomed but you check am, all those people wey dey question the club and the direction it's headed which of them dey make caricature of the matter?. Baba, personally I know sense dey for the whole talk, but na how it's been presented that makes the difference. Last last all of us want bragging rights as fans and want to see real success.

Fact is there are many that have supported this club longer than any of us here. Some saw Graham and Wenger, Days of Adams and co. If they speak up and criticize, that's not caricature. That's love!! It will come in different degrees. Those repping should not pretend these guys that turn up week in week out with maximum loyalty don't have feelings. Naaah

If they scream today and something happens, na still dem go scream louder when trophies enter. Fact.

How many are not seeing that as hate for the club is hilarious to me. Sincerely. 2004

21years!!!
Well no be history recount time sha. But everyone dey see moves and trusted but now they are seeing patterns repeating. Query is justified!!

As for if improvements happened from that Bayern game....nope!
The bench remained unreliable still. Yes we made semis but symptoms still persist. Game tweaking problem still persisted.

Enrique and Inzaghi are two great examples of managers that tweaked things to get results this campaign. Woh. Talk plenty abeg.

Im sha happy for the emergence of Kiwior. That's the non Starter difference from last campaign that Bayern ended.

I think it's time all of us that care about support dynamics call for some new tunes and soundtrack so the old can be seconded. It's boring, sorry to say. This trumpet sound needs a rival at least. Ehh.
The sound started one day and stayed. Can't something new and better start so this one can dey hin dey? Chaiii.

Since Isak no dey table again and anything fit happen with this Sesko vs Gyokores mata, make they kukuma add Osimhen to the mix.

That Nico Williams PR team ehn

Guy's not even half better than Martinelli. He can't even give the G/A of Simon Moses.

MSGAMBLE9:
This is even UK Prime Minister giving the needed push...if a politicians with busy schedules knows Arsenal problem and saying the failure is enough and can't continue...

"So, it is a good core team, so Arteta has done a good job in my view, got us into a really good place, but we have got to kick on from here - I know we did say that last season, but it is the hope that keeps you going and kills you if you are not careful!" - Kier Stammer

Keir na staunch fan since Wenger days. He does come to watch at the stadium that year. Be like they want make hin tenure finish without winning something. Lol

Congratulations to Jorg on his wedding sha

Baba don finally depart.

Meanwhile GJ dey Palmeiras dey rehab. Harsh side of me wants him to not return to Arsenal.

iamoyindamola:
Leemao
Fire for fire
2nd place is better than trophy

I saw the list of players we were connected to last summer before they fell apart like this Zubi deal(as usual)

The irony is when the critics decide to go quiet, na this section go kon takeover dey complain.


Na to just give them time ni😂😂


Hopefully it doesn't come to that. But rivals no dey siddon dey look.

germaphobe:
Realisation set in and the eyes are more open. Truth is we haven't been where we wanna be. But they owners love him, cus he's bringing in money and changing how the club is viewed from the past years, they see it as development and want to stick with him. I have no problem with Arteta being replaced with a better option, but since they still think that he's the right man for the job, would would we do. We can spend over 200m this summer without attracting any sections, so I expect they really do what's necessary this time and get him the players that fit the profile and not just any dicck and Tom that he or any other person mentions.

The actual truth is lessons are not being learnt. The top realization started in last season ucl vs Bayern. That was the game that everyone last agreed help was needed. Since that ouster, fanbase split became more defined. Then the summer came and then the January window, and it was vivid that someone was unserious.


How that suddenly made critics the haters of the club, i dunno. But in that same timeframe, rivals are putting in their work as well and that is the double blow. That's what's making all of this seem to critics that they need to be louder. But as usual, here we are. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wahala waa o

Rinsola bend in one freekick during training and the gk...


Diving symptoms still persist since u17 o.

Finals reached by the "Big Six" clubs since Mikel Arteta became Arsenal manager:

Chelsea –7
Manchester City –6
Liverpool –5
Manchester United –5
Tottenham –2
Arsenal – 1

During this period, the other 5 clubs have made it to a European final except Arsenal.

What’s our excuse?

Copied

A staunch Arteta supporter posted this today. Im wondering what changed

"the best team lost tonight"


Imagine Simone Inzaghi saying that after this lashing to a technical and tactical Luis Enrique team....

iamoyindamola:
Evidence of delulu fans
Even club legends are complaining, enough is enough

Alll over club football, legends speak up. Perhaps Bayern fans should drag Kahn for saying some stuff about the club.

Perhaps When Koeman and co made statements about Barca, they're foolish. Until e reason Henry and suddenly they push sinister agendas as why he talks that way. Lol.

When you say reason, an excuse pops up for it. When you demand results, the comparism that was dodged suddenly pops back in usage.

What exactly irks y'all about demanding for results and game changers when that's what's lacking in philosophy? Or is winning one trophy what you'll be satisfied with and then drought continues? Is that it?


Recruitment alone is one big evidence to everything we disagree about. Throwing away without replacements. Even girls that don't understand football but watch it with you can see it well.

dominique:
Had to bring this back. As one of the delulu Arteta supporter, I'm not going to let this slide. Do you know how much Arteta has spent on players from 2020 to date, £600m+! Klopp spent almost a billion pounds to buy players before Liverpool could win the league after 5 years he's been coaching them. We keep screaming at Arteta to buy this player and that player, we never ask how much funds he has at his disposal. Last transfer window, the board didn't release any funds. What else was he supposed to do? Buy players from his own pocket? I don't believe any coach can do better than Arteta is doing with the resources at his disposal.

Proudly delulu Arteta supporter ✌🏽

Oh my!!!

You started and ended this the wrongest of ways. You make it seem like none of us complaining currently were not staunch supporters. You also seem to not grasp the usage of that term with respect to time and hence, decided to wear it as some proud laurel.... I dunno how to react to this overall, but you started off on the wrong foot.


Most of those complaining have details wrt time and that's what irks many. Internal details abound. Not to talk of the external details, the ones of rivals also competing for trophies-what makes them stand out and all.

Why the term delulu is because they kick against any criticism of MA when even his godfather gets criticism in loads in that very Man City he is. They kick against any sort of reasonable assessment of his term as manager when we assessed Emery and use it to taunt him till date. Did Emery ever get this level of grace ever, to say the least?

So Klopp build a team, and then Slot came and used that team to win over Arteta that won FA with Emery's team but suddenly can't smell even Carabao each season?


Woh. Oro por jare. Bottom line-you seriously misconstrued what that term meant in context

MSGAMBLE9:
it's the lack of ambition mixed with emotions that irked me...some are okay/comfortable with just trying to be second best...

There are visible areas that needs improving to cross the line for 2 years now buh we are either going for 25m back-up GK and been linked with Ajax's Hato ( another defender) for 50m again...


Have seen this "Script" before...

Thank you. They wear it as armor that any little sparring, they just use the armor over and over. You throway strikers and na Kai you carry come to replace them. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Infact he didn't replace them. Empty zone. Got his Kai and then shifted him to the 9 zone. Confusion confusion.

One would think we aren't surrounded by witnesses and evidences to make any foolish defense of his decisions. One would think we have clubs from Latvia league as rivals. Moving like say other teams no dey do their own to grab trophies and that ours is the uniquest of all. Smh

What did i just read? Omo!! 😭😭


Crew Croder Crodened!!

The distributed goals list

dominique:
Arsenal always makes the transfer window interesting and frustrate their fans in the process . Liverpool has already signed 3 players while we are still dillydallying between mediocre players and ageing players looking for where to warm the bench for outrageous wages

Arsenal will allow all media houses to exhaust the verbs and tenses in their social media posts before they unveil one nobody from South American. Just watch. 😂😂😂

The joy of fandom experienced by Super Eagles fans in the 80s and 90s is now what these guys in uk express. They really had fun coming out to watch semi team A of super eagles. Same for the Ghana fans. They filled up everywhere, old and young. Even say a priest in the stands.

Na we dey see and feel everything sha. Cos if na this Wcq brouhaha Dem dey see often, dem go para o.

Deltamani:
This one no be question na…

According to the hierarchy… Onyi Echegini, Esther Onyenezide then the rest of the youngsters can come in when they play their way up there.!

Will Moshood become a full winger las las? I see her as one that fits. But Zidane dey sha.

isan:
Nigeria football authorities needs to train our female footballers that they don't have to look like a male because they've chosen to become a footballer , they can maintain their female traits and still play football....most Nigeria league players dress like male because they believe football is a man sport

Blame it on most being tomboys 1st and then 2ndly on the mendem that started the very 1st street training that made these girls ever think of going pro.


I remember Cynthia in 2008 and Uncle Ben for BravoGee, Ipaja. She had the current physique of JOE and as he drilled her more and more, she cut her braids, went full gym, built muscles, began to play with the mendem with barely any physical deficiency. She moved to PH las las sha. I dunno if she played NWFL anyways.

Uncle Wale dey Abeokuta for example
Uncle Sola dey Bariga

Most shaped these ladies physically and mentally. Some had big connect and unless you fitted in, recommendations fit no reach ya side. So imagine that too.

isan:
Onyezide , Echegini can slot in there also ....but I'm personally tipping moshood to lock it down in couple of years

I no wan put JOE in understudy category, that's major reason i asked.

Roland17:
But! But!!….

😂😂

But imagine we end up with these 3 again as the front 3 for next season. I'm preparing mentally already.


That moment na only Zubi enter but na 6 players piunnnn

RenaissanceGuy:
I'm not saying he left because of the budget, I'm saying Trump may have secretly asked him to resign because Trump wasn't happy that he criticised the budget. Don't forget that Elon's job is to help the US cut down on its spending, so Elon was right to have made that comment about the budget.

Quite true that. The way USA just dey gather funds from Saudi though. Phewww.

Nobody gets fired for this cursed decision taken by whoever felt the adherence to the rules was more important than lives and properties of the Nigerian kid that relies on the government to organize a safe and conducive environment for their examinations and education.
