With odegaard travelling with the team to Milan
He might feature but surely will start against Chelsea
Nawa o shey na injury make our captain face pakpo like this

He don make relationship official sha

I hope this is the end of Partey at RB sha. Chelsea's nightmare is back. And now Palmer will get his 1st rodeo vs Arsenal. 5-0 still fresh for head. Man U need help. The way they conceded that midfield to Chelsea ehn. Wetin sef. Can never be Arsenal.


My own satisfaction is a clean sheet on Sunday. Raya just dey colet since 4th week. Kilode.

Naso dem go use this collapse excuse till na 6kMW we go dey share till 2027. Country wey suppose dey on 100,000mw by now with each state averaging 3kMW. But 200m citizens are sharing 4kMW.


Nigeria we hail thee

Winning games no matter which opponent and time in the season is essential but being proactive during the second part matters a lot, that's how City have always been doing it. I just hope we continue winning, move on, win as much as we can(cus surely there are still games we won't win), and put pressure on that title challenge. To be honest I expected a striker and saka deputy during last summer, but since we didn't get any we should focus on our players available and stop this cry for striker each time we drop points. It's not as if the striker will be scoring in every game even if we have one. Odegaard absence limits Kai output and our left attack haven't been prolific as before, plus our defence being touchy these days. Title challenge still dey very open so I'm still optimistic not because of any individual but because I really want that epl more than any other trophy.
Ps: ethan as a 10 made more since than whatever Trossard can offer there.

Fact is if na only us dey this league table, we can survive with the players available. But our rivals are uping the ante, doing all it takes to step up.


Lets assume we are on a 11.2 high and spurs be like 5.4 before. Spurs kon upgrade to say 8.3 and are planning by January to be above 12, while we are upgrading by 0.4 instead of 3.0, in no time, no matter how we love the players, all their best efforts will be seen as average if we continue to be bested by others that we continue to think are no better. We need recruitment for the front.


Now our manager dey do like he no sabi use counterattack again despite having just the perfect players for such a setup. He should be flexible. That's all we ask. Flexible and increase front deputies or players that will walk straight in. Im glad you said we need to win no matter what. Others are showing that why can't we?


I am scared though... Cos of these departures

germaphobe:
If we really wanted Gyokeres we would have gotten him bro. When the deal collapsed I read about talks from Edu about buying players that choose the club and stuff like that. So I guess he really didn't want to sign him.

I hope they make a bid again. If Barca snatched that guy, it will be before our eyes that barca died and resurrected again while we sre still dragging feet and making Evra look like a philosopher.

Spurs wan grab Endrick on Loan. Eiiiii.

Make lack of recruitment for forwards no go be our undoing o. Abi na the outcome of marquinhos discourage our manager ni?
Make we sef get quality loan in January. We need it badly.

Omo!! See comeback by Fulham. Harry Wilson came on and changed everything. Brace!! Brentford no try. They just slept off. Fulham wanted this badly and they got it in a maddttt way.

Iwobi dey shoot ke?

Abeg who dey follow am word for that Fulham coaching crew

Smh.

The grass will bear the brunt come Christmas. That's if grass never dry after the elepants finish fighting on it

Isokay.....

naptu2:
In this case, I am clarifying that she is talking about home based players being developed from U-17 and U-20 into the Super Falcons vs foreign born players being called up to the Super Falcons.

And that's why i said it was totally unnecessary to add this part, especially in a poll. The FBs are not causing any problems to warrant such a post from her. The inference is she feels they should not be taking up slots. I maintain they're the exception till date so why is she making a big deal about the exception.


How many of them all are consistent if given a chance? How many come through the ranks. Did she think of all the factors that make all these things look like Fbs are getting spots?


Conclusion: she's foolish.

iamoyindamola:
That’s why I said unless he swallow his ego
If it’s not working change it

😂😂😂😂😂

What if the ego increases and he wins? That's what I'm trying to pass since na 😂😂
Unimaginable even to myself but not impossible. We've seen this stuff across clubs. And you know media. Hence my 50-50 for that scenario.

E go pain!!!

naptu2:
Kai!

Calm down, click on the link, read and understand. Don't be in a rush to react.

She posted a video reel of the U-17 team. She said that they were good and well coached. She said that she and many others came up from the U-17 and U-20. She was calling on the NFF to groom home based players from the U-17 and U-20 into the Super Falcons, rather than bringing in foreign born players into the Super Falcons.

Click on the link, watch the video, read the post, calm down and understand.

I still insist she's using it to take a jab and even the hyping of Bankole shows she doesn't know what she's saying too. The conclusion of what she meant you just said it now in your post. And that's why i maintain my pov on how she reasons. What is the % of FBs in the last decade that warrants such a stance from her? Are they up to 50% that can make us to now try agree with her?

She's just fanning embers for what is not under threat. In Falcons currently, fBs no even reach 7. In a few years, the ones in the team would be gone. And homebased will take over. FBs are the exceptions right now. If they're getting raves, it is because they're good. For now, foolish move by her.

iamoyindamola:
This serial bottler 😂😂
Maybe na luck sha or he swallow his foolish bloated ego and adapt to situation

naso coaching be now. Emery is enough example na😂😂😂😂😂
Even if manager no look good now, the experience nko? That's what will make it painful o

naptu2:
She was referring to the coach of the Flamingos (her post had a highlights video of the Flamingos attached to it).

https://www.instagram.com/p/DBY89u_uOCs/

Naaah. It doesn't stick. Our u17 has been almost 100% homebased. Infact I can't remember a foreign born at u17 level. For u20, na Dike i remember and like other Nigerians that love talents, we still can't forget Courtney till date. She came, saw and showed us her worth. Just 1. Atterval in 2022 didn't even get minutes. Just 1 spot for her. That's why Simeone's treatment didn't make sense. She was eager to rep. She was demoted to u17 and still didn't get picked.


And then Ngozi sat, looked and thought this was sensible to drop a poll for when FBs are just getting binary numbers slots on the cadet teams? 😂

She's actually dumber than i thought and that's why I don't think it is about Flamingos. And if it is indeed about the flamingos, then she needs to goan learn statistics all over again cos it is not making sense. But one conclusion, dumb!!!

iamoyindamola:
Edu even have experience with the Brazil NT
Na this arteta way be intern and still doing anyhow
He needs someone that will keep him on his toes, have said it here several times he's too comfortable

Someone opined that he has bias towards players signed and even if they don't click, he'll keep playing them even if it will take 200games. Meanwhile, he has players that are ready, clicky and desperate to die for this club, on the bench. Anyways

I've always held this internship move due to the stubbornness of last season and the way rotation was handled. He go kon go Barca one day and probably win stuff and the bants on Arsenal will triple. Naaah. I pray this isn't the case.

Lol

We wanted loyalty. But these ones, like Kroenkes, are businessmen, loyal just to their desires and pocket. Who go help Arsenal sef.

If i had my way, I'll put an embargo on signing from rivals like Chelsea. It's irritating at this rate. Instead pf sourcing for better talents, we're using the excuse of 'experience' to get mediocrity. I suppose test both the temperature and IQ of anyone that believed Sterling will come good for us. Makes me doubt if you've been observing since Wenger final days till now.

The threshold for recruitment needs to be upgraded. I hear Edu wants to get the CEO spot hence he stepping down now. Overall, i hope this stepdown is not a hole in the boat move or a brickwall to signing anything in January sha.

So she added a poll? She's dumber than i thought sha. She's seeing the strides someone like Ekong is having with the men's team and that's what is paramount for her at this junction? Is she even considering the factors that affect what she prefers?

Na me dey ask questions sha. Lol.

Blueelf:
Lookman may struggle in the EPL

i doubt.

germaphobe:
And our next 2 games are Chelsea and Nottingham, we need to get maximum points from both games. I have a feeling odegaard might be available for that Chelsea match.

If he is it will be a huge relief.


GF-17
GA-11

We've conceded 11goals in 10matches. I know it will change along the way but the worst outcome is not besting this by even more goalscoring.

Our next games, we need clean sheets. That's the only recovery for all the slack last Month.

Every team that can be used to banter us are all within reach of the table. Any funny slip up next game and we are down to 9th. I believe Arteta sees that and does the most needful. Villa, Spurs, Chelsea, Forest...

The kind of players Arsenal need

DeloitteNG:
If Man City can just sign Lookman

Na Arsenal get am. Boy is not ready for any pep brouhaha right now.

Fkforyou:
I really hope we pick up fast, because, each point drop takes us away from the title. Arteta needs to ease up with his obsession with control, he is slowly destroying the team he built.

We have dropped 12points so far. And half of them from winning positions.

5/10 for 1st quarter of the season. I keep saying that this team go the personnel for both a 9 and counterattacking football. But because of control, we go start counter and allow opponents to all fall behind the ball. 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

You'll look at a player like Ademola Lookman and wonder what the ones we have are doing all rounda. Napoli go hearam today.

Shegzdave:
You gerrit bro
This is one of the reason why I’ve always said some part of our fanbase are satisfied with mediocrity

We go all soon join ourselves for that junction. For now, e dey sweet to tag us "agenda crew" 😆😆😆

Irony is we fit silent las las while na dem go rant pass us due to accumulating frustration.

Nketiah na the new 007

It's hard to truly make a case for that guy. Anyway, he scored in derbies but to stick onto consistency just hard. And we wanted 50m o

Good he's far away sha.

Fkforyou:
Why would a true Arsenal fan lower his expectations after being Taunted by other fans as being mediocre. Are we not tired of losing and not winning anything?

See, it’s is on Arteta to turn things around.

I also hope we are all not banking on Odegaard to turn things around for us, make we no go put pressure on him. Arteta needs to go into this January transfer window to get reinforcements or else his job is on the line. Shikena!

The man needs better finishers. I even want someone that will take away attention on Saka. 23yo and he gets the most attention in our team. At least that way teams will prepare for the new arrival and that gifts Saka space to do his thing but not all that reliant on the boy. The goal conceding is worrisome. Our tackles have made us enter top 10 this season on that. Whereas last season our highest ranking was 17th. We get ball we go allow opponents recover. We no get ball, to dispossess opponent before they run 50yrd hard. We need help. Help will change this. We can't continue this way with how our schedule is. We can't afford such consistency in slipping. After this week, we may be 6th.

Lots of sarcasm here. Lot. Isokay.

iamoyindamola:
This is not apari excuse again or even injury at the end of the season

Despite the defenders on ground, see how their injuries dey disturb. If this man doesn't shore up the attack in January, expect nothing.


The Pattern and Style Crew, abeg where are all of you? Its until you extend the conceding goals to 10games and unable to find goals to 7, dropping 25points in the process before y'all wake up?

Dropping points to Bournemouth and Newcastle!!!

Oh, Bournemouth na Red be excuse

Oya here nko? Where na 11v11?

This man!!!!

johnjunior39:
They guy and Dele Alli are siblings.

I honestly don't think Arteta take his job serious

With what I've watched so far, with Kai avoiding the midfield centre, it seems like he's playing the odegaard role 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


Arghhhhhhh. Arteta!!!!

Goalscoring is a big issue for 69mins and still counting
Ball sense and finishing same.
See the zinny wey just come
Im off abeg. Can't watch the remaining mins

johnjunior39:
Arteta dey do like village chief that will prefer to lose to justify his ideas lol.


Please can he sub Trossard immediately.

I have been observing something since Odegaard injury, havertz is trying hard to play that wing that he forget the striker he is suppose to be

Kai is not forgetting who he ought to be. He is doing what he knows best. I keep wondering why many of our fans can't see this simple detail.

Isak is doing what he is supposed to do. He releases and goes into position straight up and one touch.
You won't know how painful this thing is until you watch some clips on how Auba and Laca got most of their key goals for us. Only Saka in this current team needs one touch to get a goal inside the box and is consistent. That's how Auba used to play before he left.


It is more hilarious when Kai is good for aerial duels OUTSIDE the box yet terrible at Cross and nod. The difference? Poor positioning. We'll be fine sha.

iamoyindamola:
Buy CF you refused, you say na kaikai
How can this guy survive Newcastle, saka is the only chance we have of scoring
Isak just showed us why it's important to have a striker, one chance one goal

one cross one goal.

Nobody will care about who dominated or pressed high or well or who had most touched in opposition box or who created bug chances or won 100,000 aerial duels in midfield, especially when all your forwards bar Saka, don't know what to do to get a goal.
