Halaand suppose don die since be that

Halaand can't tell him that. This is his heatmap

patrickmuf:
That guy is a clown. See how Haaland stretched for that ball and some how baba wants us t9 believe it's the perfect pass...City are very creative no doubt but some of the goals Haaland has scored has been down to his athleticism and superb positioning...

I'm not sure some of us here actually saw the goal

odizeey:
Everyone should do their job on the pitch. It will make life easier. We will get there with proper recruitment.

If you tell Pep that nobody should concern themselves with other people's job on the pitch, e fit shoot you

odizeey:
So we can afford to have midfielders that can't feed their attackers?

No we can't

Mrviktor:
See that halland goal.

He just dey box 18.

Dem send d ball come he score

Simple.

No be d one wey una go expect roaldo to run box to box bks say una wan press.

When football no be bress

Person get only 26 touches for full match. But na praises dem dey sing for Twitter.

Make martial try am.. We no go sleep for this place

Did you actually see the goal he scored? Did you see the way he had to leap and stretch?

You're comparing a team that is settled in every position to one that is still finding its feet, and you think the striker can afford to be strolling around the box waiting for food? I'm very sure that tears will full everywhere if Halaand was in this team

I saw this on my timeline.
naija viewing certers. best place in the world

I actually miss this sha . This is where you want to be especially when you're on the winning side

I have not seen ETH blueprint in this team at all. Maybe energy level has increased a bit, but when it comes to intelligent play, I see nothing. We have been winning matches playing counter football. That's not ETH way, that's how we have always played. I'm still waiting for the day we will control the game and create chances

LostMyZeal:
Real Sociedad made sure to starve us of possession and controlled most part of the game while using overloads at the back to frustrate our wing men

I'm not sure I even understand what this means. Our team is just very poor when it comes to creating chances.

Poor poor game. We're very far from being a team that create chances. If its not counter attacking football, these guys are clueless

ChristoBam:
Helps in progressing the ball from the back faster. And we have not games for probably the next 2 weeks.

No wahala

The defense was not struggling, why bring in Lisandro?

I expected Dalot to run in behind Anthony but that's not the case. Anthony need those runs to distract defenders

LostMyZeal:
Person wey det use livescore now go think say we dey control the game

Stats na scam

The stats is even saying we have the lesser ball possession

Is LFC trying to get Klopp fired? Just see how they're defending. Even Trent can't be bothered to pursue his man

delkuf:
The greatest undoing of man city will be haaland. With haaland, it means pep will change the style of play. They will have to hurriedly put the ball on the box which is a good thing. But if haaland get injured, with Jesus and sterling sold, they will really struggled up front. And the defense of city is shitty. They concede goal too much. Though it is still early. Man city will struggle if they will retain the premiership. They shouldn't have let both Jesus and sterling leave like that. Pep is too desperate to win champion league

The same team that have been playing together and winning the league for the majority of the last 4-5 years? Okay na

We need to pick maximum points from the smaller teams this season to be guaranteed top 4. I'm looking forward to our next match. We need the 3 points and as many goals as possible

Jodera:
Well, to me Saka and Martinelli was better First Half with Martinelli the better of the two.
2nd half Saka was clearly better. Martinelli decision making was just wrong most times in that 2nd half

Surprisingly, Dalot was able to handle Martinelli better after the break. But Malacia couldn't and that wasn't utilized at all

Jodera:
This is not about staying back just for the sake of it. It's about becoming positionally aware defensively in that back he stays. Someone who is meant to screen the backline should be ready to track any runners, read danger before it happens and snuff out attack before it becomes dangerous mostly by positioning and that's what he lacks. The first goal conceded, he didn't even attack yet Bruno pounced on his Defensive frailties to get in behind him into a dangerous zone. Person like Elneny or Partey would never let that happen.

I think Arteta and the team underrated Manchester United. Normally you should put players on two main people, Eriksen and Bruno. That wasn't done. Just make sure you have your eyes on where they are at all times. That wasn't done

maik99:
E lazy

Very and something has to be done about it

larride:
Maybe so.

Looking at the way we attack, our full back seems to tuck inside, I have seen Malacia and Dalot tuck inside when we are attacking inside of moving to the wing.

Even though, he should still do something, anything

larride:
Sancho offered no support whatsoever and his side was overloaded.

Its almost looking like a case of if Sancho is not among the goal scorers or assist, he's completely useless in the match. At least trouble your marker such that Saka or whoever is also on that wing will need to put an eye on you too. He's just not offering enough for now. He probably will when we start to dominate games

Jodera:
it's not about giving away the ball. Lokonga hardly gave away the ball ystdy sef aside for the 2nd goal which was punished.

I don't have any problem giving away the ball especially if it's not at a dangerous place. The issue I have with Lokonga was leaving him DM duties to go play attack which you guys capitalised on well. For all the ball Mctominay lost ystdy, he was never found wanting defensively

This is more of an Arteta problem. Just a simple instruction from him will make Lokonga stay back. Maybe he was encouraged to add bodies to the attack. On another day, it may have worked.

patrickmuf:
Malacia was all about stopping him from cutting inside but to his credit, Saka drove in and used his right foot to cross most of the time...Once the midfield was sorted out, Saka was pocketed and his frustration was obvious...He got a yellow for it.

We could have conceded from any of the many times Saka was able to beat Malacia. He needed help and he wasn't getting it until Fred and Case entered. Saka also tired out

Dexyity:
To play good football na juju under past managers.. God bless and continue to bless ETH for us.

Long may it continue GGMU

Lol calm down. We did more than this under past managers

I can remember mctom running into traffic and losing the ball a couple of times, heaven didn't fall. The team got together to win the ball back. But una no want awilo to rest. I vote you play him everyday and twice on Sunday, the boy got potentials

Lana1:
How to know when someone is pained. The L hook am for larynx e come dey misyarn

KingTom:
Very accurate and a good game from him, but is squawka really sure he wasn't dribbled past even once?

Ah something that we all watched, and squawka wants to claim something else. Everyone that watched that game saw Malacia being cooked for most part of the game. Fortunately for us, assnal were not deadly and Saka not serious

Odunharry:
Haba. We clearly watched different match.

Tyrell Malacia's game by numbers vs. Arsenal:

51 touches
8 ball recoveries
4 duels won
3 interceptions
2 clearances
2 accurate long balls
1 tackle
1 cross
0x dribbled past

According to Squawka

Oh I see. Malacia held it down today then

larride:
eph12

What do you think about Dalot?

He has really improved. Has that RB cemented right now

Odunharry:
Normal except u didn't see the vital clearance he made.

I have the 90 minutes in view, not just 1 clearance

engrelvis:
I dnt understand.What is really responsible for Dalot sudden transformation?

Even Mctom and Bruno. They've really improved certain aspects of their game that was lacking

melodyogonna:
Eras come to an end. We never even start to play really well under ETH yet. This will be an interesting season.

I'm just happy that ETH has proven to be very adaptable to the reality in front of him
