The Sporting Lisbon effect no go bad

But that bench dey itch skin. Chai

A mouse on a mission. They going in search of food and will do all to set a path for the others beneath. Watch out for the other half dozen rats. Solution is to cement it back and get your gumpads and rat poison.

Something drastically needs to change next season but this inter vs Barca match is truly tantalising.

Too nervy and high tension. And so open despite the way both coaches setup.


We need to study how Barca messed up a 2-3 lead after this game. That's what made me realize they're not all that abeg.

Then how Barca take dey score, Inter are overrated even if they make the finals

mine3112:
Whoever meet Barca in the final will not find it easy. I see Barca lifting the cup. They are too good to hold back.

Inter are making it comfy for this Barca team. To me, they're good but not special. See how old men dey find way through their defense. Haba. Which kind defense be that.

Inzaghi sub making tue difference here because his game approach is why this game was 3-3. Terrible defenders. The ones that played City were on some higher level even if na same players. These ones dey do like say dem dey play golf.

Make we no lie, if na us dey this extra time, our bench go wan make person cry.

Imagine needing goal and na Sterling dey touchline

I don't really follow female football to know good keepers
But we surely need another shot stopper next season

i hear Chiamaka don do pre agreement with Everton. E pain me. She's UWCL level. What's the downgrade for, especially as Paris FC just win cup? Arsenal go too fit am. Even if na on a Kepa level-called upon for pk. She's too good with her feet. We have no such gk right now

If that's a pk for Inter, then the Merino one is a pk too. Simple.

Master Strategist whose only best strategy is planning excellently for 2027. Everything else is 0 and F9. Perhaps G10. All noose and goose policies that can't last months. It fails and they cook up distractions b2b. How history will remember this era ehn, even Bubu will be forgotten cos of how terrible this current one will turn out to be.

Nothing concern these ones with the cesspit of an education sector in their constituency. Just carpet after carpet after carpet.

Tonight, we know our potential rival for the cup.

iamoyindamola:
We should sell him for 120m close eyes
We should go for Huijsen

That Kai twinnie? Lol. Naaahh
He's good but naaah

Saliba might leave on a free las las

Plus if it comes down to me, I'll take back a Fabio or Tavares than this Sterling. He should just go.

Chiamaaakaaaaaaa😃😃😃😃😃😃🤩😍😍😍


Chai. Great performance there Nnadozie. You rock!!

They equalize i stop watching

Only to hear 1-2

Later that section of arteta fans will be saying this man dey do us favor say we too dey react. How do you explain this rubbish now? Partey no play na L. Partey play na still L.

See how Raya dey do like defeathered hen🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

They equalize

iamoyindamola:
Saka is not mobile at all today

I guess he's just hibernating as usual. But mediocre display like Odegaard except that curler from that MLS pass.

Spy360:
Raya brains dey touch at times

E dey vex me gaaan. Na freebies of na PSG he wan try that one o.

Fkforyou:
Rice has been impressive and everywhere today.

Nice way to mark his 100th appearance for the club.

What is it about Timber and Merino? because Timber is on the stands. I hope they are fine?

Rice is the bright lights of this game. Everything else is just there.

He still did it again

If i am Rice and Saka, I'll keep a grudge with Odegaard for wasting that chance with that nonsense display at the edge of the box. That's the precise level of petty needed for such a foolish teammate

If Raya loves himself, he should stop the passes to Odegaard from deep. All caused panic in last 6 games.

johnjunior39:
I no understand wetin we dey payback.

He better sub most of them in second half.

I tell you. League wey don finish. Lol. Na statpad levels we dey right now. Na UCL be focus. Butler and Nwaneri should be on by 60th min.

randy01:
This match is a pay back for first leg

Doesn't feel like, especially with Bournemouth form currently. Plus we have bigger things to battle

Shey Odegaard dey tell me say he himself no see as he flourishes when he's central ni? What Rice did are the things a 9 would do and more when he lands. Saka and Odegaard need to communicate. Once Odegaard is running to Saka Wing, Saka should not be static. Moveee. Just move away.

Merino and Timber seem to have collected some dressing room spark based on how cam caught them today

Spy360:
We lost by 1 goal. So a simple win will either make us qualify or take it to penalties.



At this stage we know we have to go out and attack. But we also have to know how to control the game. The one/two goals we need can even come in the last ten minutes

I don't like that you bring it just down to the 1-0 without the events that led to that overall. It's the semis. We got overwhelmed until 27th minutes and by then, we already knew we can't play the usual possession game with how PSG were attacking us. Saka reacting that way sums up the mental angle even if he was on the right side. Ucl semis and our bench is the wackiest I've seen for any cup game in a KO stages in the last 15years. Chai. Arteta sef. The player he no suppose trust for something he go dey over trust. The one he supposed put faith in, he go dey overthink dey over shalaye why he doesn't want to risk it.

Shegzdave:
Exactly💯
Partey absence affected our midfield and forward cause of the stability he brings, the 3v1 on Saka wouldn’t have happen cause Partey would’ve taken control of the midfield thereby creating space for Rice and Ordegarrd(even tho he’s been shite thus season) to move up and Saka and Merino able to penetrate them, I wouldn’t call Nelli cause that boy has brainfart

Guy felt it all 90. He knew why Rice was furious. It also brings me down to the aspect I've been screaming about since last year -We need to address these useless yellow cards issues. These players get yellow for the dumbest reasons and it need to change. Abi they dunno this is UCL semifinals ni? It's unfair to Rice at this point.
The good thing is it is 1-0. They should overturn that. But before then, we have Bournemouth.

Let's see how MA manages selections cos that bench was embarrassing. Reminded me of the bench for Bayern last season.

johnjunior39:
For me , I actually think it was a case of finishing.

Honestly, they were not better than us. We missed our chances , Trossard and Martineli were shooting like nobody at the goal post.

We utilized our chances when we met them earlier, defence was very observant.

It is in our hands to decide id we want to qualify or not because PSG can be beaten at home

They are terrible at the back and so they did 2 things, try to overload. And them block the route that stops us from gaining possession our typical left to right way. So we had lots of back passes to Raya which they didn't mind. Plus see how they dragged away our midfielders whenever ball was with Mendes? It was an eyesore. I watched the Cbs analysis of the goal and these guys planned well to drag Rice away and Merino and Martinelli were tooo static up to that goal.

Rice was always running and nobody was covering his out of space. That's one of the demerits of Merino in midfield. Even worse is Trossard. Guy thinks a middle role is for dribbling. He can't even backtrack after losing a ball.
A case was made for Saka defensive duties to be reduced next season using Kvara and Dembele as case study. I agree with that POV.


If we win 2-1, straight to PK.

Ode go dey wear armband like who wan measure bp

MSGAMBLE9:
Rice is really overwhelmed today that Merino for Midfield is a no no... his marking of space is terrible for me


And Trossard and Ode (especially the latter) has been a mess for weeks now.

Merino has never had 5/10 game for Arsenal in midfield since he came. It's that terrible.

Personally, it is an insult to PSG by MA to try him there when he couldn't even do anything there vs Everton, Bou, Forest, etc that are not as dangerous as PSG.

The detail with their own plan whenever Saka or Martinelli gets the ball

They know no runners or nobody to call for a cross this very instance. So they just stay compact, while one comes to pressure up.
Rinse and Repeat.
