Wolves be werey! Dem go give you useless hope but dem go lose. I hope they relegate, they have never been useful

I swear down.

After the goal they started playing as if they were leading.

I don’t give up for the match. It’s not like Liverpool were exceptional self.

I need a wolves comeback in this match.🌚😂

Cunha has brought them back into the game with his goal.

Liverpool must lose today.

Guys! Nwaneri was my GOAT today.

The last time a 17 year old impressed me was Lionel Messi.

This guy has a bright future ahead of him. I just pray he is level headed and focused like Bukayo Saka.

I also expect that when the star boy is back, Ethan should move to the CF position.

iamoyindamola:
Don't expect anything from him
We only hope he turn up

He played rubbish today, just falling up and down like bag of beans.

germaphobe:
wish he can just score and assist, he needs it more than the team and fans sef.

Baba didn’t do shit.

At a point in time just before he was substituted, Odegaard was free but he gave one wack cross that made them counter us.

I know Odegaard must have been frustrated.

Omo!!! Na the same front three as expected.

Sterling Abeg get sense today, prove your haters wrong.

iamoyindamola:
Kiki mordi will be on top of this soon

I won’t be surprised.

My fear is that SIMP that would want to make her a star or fight for her.

KingTom:
So she's been expelled. Life comes at you fast and the consequences of our actions live with us forever, I wish her the best.

It is Far from over. I expect some reactions online, especially from feminists. I saw on Twitter yesterday where one old fool was defending her during a radio podcast.

It’s funny how anyone still thinks the lecturer was at fault, even playing the sexual harassment card.

mine3112:
It means Kai is very important to this Arsenal setups. Spy must be right then!

His importance is not the case here, but the total lack of options.

We were managing him, now we totally don’t have anyone, because we weren’t pragmatic enough.

iamoyindamola:
Friday is press conference

That’s true. My mind has program itself to think today is Thursday.

Thanks

Omo!!! This Hervertz news ain’t looking good.

Let’s hear what Arteta have to say in tomorrow’s conference. But then again, this is not the right moment to say I told you so, but WTF!!! What are we doing? Do we just like to suffer? Why didn’t we bring fresh legs to help the team.

I guess Trosaard will have to play upfront be that.

mine3112:
Guardiola and Man City can never be the same again regardless of who they sign. They may still loss to Newcastle this weekend.

I sha want them to pick form against Liverpool 😂

Why is no one Talking about Man City Trolling Vinicius? Or it’s only a crime when it’s done by Arsenal? Anyway, I’m glad Man City lost. Guardiola needs to be broken. 😂

Saka has resumed Rehabilitation.

Like a new signing, innit 😂

Roland17:
Source?

Wrong info Bro.

Arteta wins Manager of the month.

Congratulations to him.

Now give the fans their own trophy.

mostob:
Three unreplied goals it is then.
Newcastle is going to pack bus. I foresee a 5-5-0 formation

The match is done and dusted.

I’m so pissed and upset right now.

We were losing already, but Raya buried whatever hope we had left.

iamoyindamola:
Nah they will score
I hope we go all out because we have nothing to lose

I hope so too

BlueRayDick:
When u see players recycling the ball very close to the dugout and the coach is yelling at them to play forward pass, u don't need a soothsayer to tell u they are executing the coach's instructions to his satisfaction.

If West Brom that was perennial relegation time can overturn 3 goal decifit against an Alex Ferguson team, what makes u think that Man city the reigning champion cannot do the same against an Arsenal team that couldn't hold a goal advantage for a minute as at the last time of both teams meeting?

The game may be dusted to u, but the professional players on the pitch and their coach knows it is not. If a younger player doesn't , he will learn sooner or later.

The game was done and dusted.

You can’t compare the West brom game with the Man City game. I gave you reasons why.

And yes, recycling the ball is not only to avoid a comeback, it could also be to kill away time and conserve energy as was the case in that match.

If it were otherwise, Man City would have pressed us and forced us to our own half, but we literally spend the whole time in their own half, exchanging passes while they stood and watch us. Heck, even Martinelli was using style to pass to Gabriel. 😂

Man City were psychologically defeated? Was there at any point after the fourth goal, you thought Man City could come back into the game? Talk true. 😂

mostob:
is there away goal rule?

Nope.

Not for the Semi Finals of the carabao cup.

germaphobe:
In recent years, we have struggled to win against Newcastle, their defensive block and aggressive midfield have always been a problem for us. I'm just wishing we pull through, but the hope is very slim, so is our chance and odd.

Omo! You are right.

But just like Odumodu said, if they can beat us 2 nil on our ground, we can beat them 3 nil on their own ground too.

Psychologically, we are in a good head space, you know, overcoming that Mental Block of overcoming Man City. I think that can give us extra confidence.

I really hope we win it sha.

BlueRayDick:
I have watched EPL long enough to know the scores can be overturned . During the days of Van Persie at Man utd , I think it was 2013 or there abouts; West Brom Man Utd’s 5-2 lead to end the match 5-5.

If west brom can overturn a 3 goal deficit , who told u a dead but not out man city led by Guardiola can’t do same if we don’t apply caution ?

Coach wey tell the players to Dey recycle pass between midfield and our defence is not a dunce .

Firstly, how are we sure it was the coach that instructed them to recycle the passes and Ethan wasn’t aware of the new instructions? Mind you, players normally take the initiative themselves almost all the time, especially when it’s just a 1 goal difference and not more than 2 goals as it was the case in this match?

Secondly; pertaining to that Man U match, the last goal by Man United was scored in the 63rd minute, meaning Westbrom had over 30 minutes to overcome the 3 goal lead as against Man City that had 10 minute?

The game was done and dusted, that’s it. And Ethan was right to be hungry for the ball.

Omo!!! Our names they change weekly..o

From, Dark Art FC, to Corner Kick FC, to Set Piece FC and now 36 passes!!!

All in one season? Omo!!! Make we sha just win today because our haters have been getting L’s back to back.

Long May it continue.

BlueRayDick:
So a team named man city cannot overturn a 3 goal deficit when u still have 10 minutes and added time to go ?

Dey play ! The coach that asked them to keep the ball for as long as possible knows what he is doing. Recycling the ball between defenders and midfielders is safer than passing to an attacker who may overturn possession while trying to force a dribble .

Again, I emphasize that the 36 passes started at the 90th minute with Ethan Scoring at the 92 or 93rd minute. So yeah, 10 minutes or not, Man City could never overturn that lead specifically in that game. It was done and dusted.

BlueRayDick:
So because he came in at the 80th minute they must pass to him and if he overturns the ball to the opponent while trying to dribble the whole team must go under pressure ?

Did u not see how we held on to 2-1 lead in the first leg only for us to concede at the last minute ? The defenders exchanging passes is a right decision which the coach obviously sanctioned cos that’s the only way to draw city out of possession and facilitate us lobbing a pass that will catch them unawares . That’s exactly what happened when Rice eventually played the pass to him.

A young player like him that wants to succeed at a top club must learn to be patient and play to coach’s instructions like senior players are doing .

I don’t understand? A poor Man city side to overturn a 4-1 lead at the 90th minute when they had already given up? There was no way we would have come under pressure during that time. Come on, man. That goal came in 92nd minute. Like I said, baba was hungry for the ball. It’s not that deep, neither was it for his personal glory. He wants to improve, he has passion and desire.

iamoyindamola:
He's angry arsenal fan no rate am, I love the way they ignored him
One useless former pgmol also aid gabu should have gotten yellow, even pgmol didn't sanction haaland at etihad
Arsenal win they talk
We lose they wail
We draw they cry

Omo!! The guy is so wierd. Like baba will always find one negative thing to say about Arsenal even when everyone is celebrating us. Haba na!

One thing I am happy about sha, is how other teams are beginning to respect us and even admire some of our players.

BlueRayDick:
If that’s how he truly feels , then he’s not ready to succeed at Arsenal . We are leading at 4-1 , we are in total control of the of the game and trying to ensure we contain city till the end of the match ; he has no reason to be looking for personal glory but for the success of the team .

It was obvious Gabriel and Saliba were trading passes just so we can retain possession and prevent overturning of the ball to city lest they counter us and get back in the game .

Baba only came in, at the 80th minutes, cut him some slack for being hungry for the ball.

By the way, the pass from Rice was a beauty to behold and the way he finished just made it more sweeter.

What is G. Neville’s problem with Arsenal?

That guy is such a clown.

mostob:
Very cocky... 😂😂
White was not even this tough.

Arteta is going to have his hands full with that boy.

What time is this January window closing? I don’t understand.

We are not being linked with anyone. Wetin Dey sup?

mostob:
First time I'll see him deliberately lose control.

Omo!!!!! Odegaard was furious. I think he even cussed the referee. The thing pain am die 🤣.

I just watched that MLS goal celebration again. That boy is a cocky MTF! I like as Gabriel and Rice Dey slap him head, but nothing concern the boy. Him too stubborn, I love that about him 😂.

mostob:
I could see why other players didn't protest that decision. They just charged us for 'swarming' the ref. This league is just somehow.

You can't even do the normal thing without being afraid of ridiculous sanctions.

I thought as much. Even The captain that tried to protest chop yellow card join.

mostob:
The MF didn't even book him despite the stamp.

There we two incident by Bernardo that atleast 1 would have deserved a booking.

I don’t want to jinx the win, but I can’t let this slide.

Baba actually kicked Trosaard. Like WTF!!! And The ref just moved on!
