We all mentioned Nwaneri as an option for that RW. He played him there today and you dey complain of makeshift.

Do you even know if Rice is fit? Of course not.

It is well with you my brother

Happy New Year brotherly.

iamoyindamola:
Remove this Calafiori jare
He’s all over the place

Just putting all wrong foots so far. Self play and reckless moves. Smh

Nice start to the year
Nice start to the 2nd half.
Why is it looking like it is Partey saddled with control and not Odegaard? Odegaard and Merino sef.

iamoyindamola:
The issue is the coach
Always forcing strange positions on the players

It will be great to see an all natural XI play under Arteta for a couple of games. Abi na abomination? Merino don score but that won't make up for his poor midfield showing today.

iamoyindamola:
MLS is a midfielder
Partey position

We need a SAN for Hale End Products so managers go stop dey do dem makeshift😂

Na makeshift make Maitland Niles comot that year too. Was painful. I hope that hydra head doesn't surface this time again.

iamoyindamola:
Which olmo is coming
Barca will fight blood to register him, they play

Fight? Which fight? Mata wey don end since 12noon? Unregistered!!!!
He is now a free agent o incase you haven't heard. Na if sha. Cos Oga M loves Spanish guys

iamoyindamola:
This midfield is not clicking

Baba wan force the click
If Olmo come, he will drop this Merino to bench. If o. Lol

It's not clicking sotey Partey is doing more attacking work than those two in front of him and he's still defending.

Shegzdave:
I thought it the only one who noticed, he has been drifting to the midfield leaving that wing open

Baba go wan use makeshifting keee everyone this season except MLS🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

iamoyindamola:
E shock you 😂😂

Shock ke. Me i feel they're too similar and the inherent attributes will be an encumbrance outside their zones. Dunno why he dey that wing. It's not working. Lol

Can Nwaneri flourish while Odegaard is on too?

Goals will be coming from nothing for opponents but it's still difficult for goals to come from nothing for us. Abeg o

BlueRayDick:
We need to do something about having all the possession and just kicking the ball around the opponent’s box all day

This!!!

I saw 3 different chances for space to lead to a huge chance and it was killed on all 3 occasions. Where is risk taking? Smh

Commentator dey blame Gabriel when e supposed dey faya up Califiori for such wack defending. Well taken goal sha. But can we just exploit space when we see it please? Ehn!!!

Happy New Year everyone.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Abegiii
Smh

Samueltemi337:
You would have simply asked me why I made that statement
APOTY will be done before AFCON
The next AFCON starts December 21st

This calendar confusion better be fixed. Doesn't sit well with me too

Calvin Bassey having a great run of games this season so far. Same for Iwobi. That Fulham squad is on a cruise this season. They need to consolidate by getting some new buys.

Aina to City? Abegiii eoooo. Avoid that Man!!

This 2nd half and home games...

mostob:
It is ok if you don't want to answer. I understand.

😂😂😂🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️

mostob:
DaveP, do you think city's current form is connected to Haaland's poor goalscoring run?

🌚🌚

🫣

Will you like Tavares back at that LB?

mostob:
John Bakayoko. Get him on loan abeg..at least till Saka is back.

I pray. I don dey shout for this guy as Saka deputy since we returned to UCL. Many many weeks be like 10weeks. Meaning UCL games involved too.

germaphobe:
First thing I told my guy after that ucl game. That confidence

i need to find out if they're from the same neighborhood. 😂😂😂

Guy wasn't scare of Kalvin one bit.

Roland17:
I don’t think Partey’s inclusion would have changed much in terms of taking shots from outside or the final third.

When you look at our set up when we have possession, we are pushing numbers into the box and our defenders are also well past the center circle.

Arteta is worried if we take shots and it doesn’t score or rebounds the wrong way, we will suffer counter attacks. So, he resorts to holding possession, move the ball side to side and walk the ball into the net as opposed to taking any shots.

There was one instance before the end of the first half I think, Gabu was in perfect position for a shot from outside but guess what? He chose to pass the ball, because of the fear of being the last man and if the shot doesn’t score or rebounds, we will suffer a bad counter. He wants to eat his cake and have it.

I didn’t think Ipswich sat deep throughout the game, they came out several times and pressed us from their top and nearly capitalized.

At least for the sake of control and easy recoveries. Odegaard won't need to drop deep like he did yesternight. Odegaard had to play so close to Saliba and Timber and his misplaced passes and ball loss were annoying, enough to ginger any opponent.

Roland17:
Arteta is so scared of getting caught in a counter attack he is having us hold on to possession aimlessly. This is becoming a recurring theme with how we play if we are offensive minded and it is annoying.

We missed Partey seriously. I was looking at the attempts to halt IPS counter and all fruitless until they got to our box. Maybe that's his fear.

I don't really fancy his own solution for it. I'll rather he does something about the backline setup that chokes the middle up to reduce such happening.

Skelly get the audacity of Maitland Niles. Plus he's better with the ball at his feet. I hope he's superb at pk too.

1-nil to the Arsenal.

Rice seem to be playing closer to the centre than normal.

Ahhhhh!! Shooting ehn. We need more of that. It is tiring. Super tiring.

Wetin dey sup with Captain though?

We need long shots in this game. Rice and Timber abeg gbera o🌚

If they can just get this Martinelli a lethal aerial force, he'll have consistent goal involvements that will reduced the noise on his neck at least. If only

Hope Odegaard is okay tonight sha? What's up with miscue and misplacing?

BlueRayDick:
Baba Partey played as CM, RB and CB at Athletico under Simeone; Arteta didn't just start playing him at RB neither is it an experiement. Go back to 2017, 2018 while he was at Athletico Madrid u will see Partey playing RB for Simeone's team.

Arteta is using him there because he's tested and trusted in that role over the years.

Haba habaaaa nowww. At the detriment of the midfield. When he played in RB under simeone, who played the DM role? That was an excess personnel situation. Here na emergency situation now. The two don't fit as example. We need him where he's best output is pls. Anyway, White will be back soon.

BlueRayDick:


Don't mind them.

Even Man utd that were wailing about our corner kick goals, yesterday I saw some of their fans blaming their set piece coach for not training their players on how well to defend cornerkicks after Cunha's goal. Suddenly they realize their set-piece coach is not doing enough. Yet they were slating us for scoring corner against them

Since Arsenal game they still no wan work on that setpiece. Liverpool don shapali adapt.

I pray We add this freekick goals to the mix when Saka returns. It's been long we scored from one.

For now, Liverpool, Ya walking alone o. No be Jover una get. Na Hoover.
