Arteta said he took him out to prevent another red card. That Calafiori's injury worries me. All he needed to do was to make a simple pass. The first time he injured same knee, he was doing knee sliding and kinda snap something.

Omo!!! I don’t think that’s the right thing to do. How about cautioning him to be more disciplined.

It’s like saying he doesn’t trust his players to be responsible. Damn! Those guys Don frustrate Arteta be that. 😂

As for Calafiori, I don’t know who is more rash between him and Timber. The ball he had, a simple pass could have saved us a lot of trouble. Thank God they did not score.

I hope he was subbed for precautionary reasons.

I will say it again, I miss Saka and Odegaard, let them do and come back jare.

Rice has also declined.

Partey is also coming back to form from what I noticed.

Bro I didn't understand the team that played in red and white at all
It's too early in the season to start dropping this distasteful performance
We started brightly early on only to fade off completely
What's stopping these guys to start shooting from outside, same thing against Bournemouth

I agree with you.
My concerns are what happened to Ben White?

Partey was doing just fine in the midfield.

And Trosaard has switched off for the last 3 matches.

It could be fatigue. Anyway, I hope to see how Arteta turns this around with Liverpool.

iamoyindamola:
5-0 or we riot😡😡😡

Lmao!! 😂🤣

Match that was boring for me.

Omo!! At this point make we just begin riot because today we played rubbish IMO.

My people. I’m still hurt from last match.

Only winning will console me today.

What are your predictions?

Arsenal to win 2-0.

COYG!!!

I also blame Martinelli for the outcome of this game.

I’ve said it severally, all his constant missing of one on one chances will somehow come to bite us someday.

I mean if he had buried that chance, maybe the game would have taken another dimension. He is just so annoying with his decision making and it seems no one in the coaching team is calling him out for this.

Again, like I said before, Trosaards poor pass was what put Saliba in that position. Baba was reacting instinctively because he was caught unawares with the pass, but it still doesn’t excuse his rashness. You can’t keep talking about wanting to win trophies and you put the team in a position to lose a game while we are competing for such trophies. E no make sense.

Let’s just put this game behind us and make Adjustments in our next game.

Truth be told, I’m not a Saka fanboy but I swear he is very important to this team. All that unnecessary criticism of him and comparing him with this one and that one is pure nonsense.

We really missed him today, no doubt.

Godd damn liar.

He will forget he said this, just like his master promised to fix the economic hardship by December.

He should Fvck off with his white elephant project propaganda.

Fkhalifa:
Coaching job no easy o

If he had drawn or stole a win....fans would applaud...
If he had risked not replacing the CB and ended up with a cricket score....fans would still drag him ....it's a risk that didn't pay up

True, but he was too cautious while he was supposed to be brave today and that cost him a lot. 😂

Nothing burst my brain today like Arteta Reaction.

Him remove Sterling put Kiwior, Kiwior cause goal he remove am put Jesus 😂🤣🤣🤣. Jesus of all people.😂
Like you were trying to defend a 0-0 game from the 30minute and want to draw a 2 goal lead at the 85th minute.

Make it make sense 😂😂🤣.

Roland17:
Our complacencies have finally caught up with us. I remember saying we were getting too comfortable coming from behind against these lower teams. This has been coming for a while, Well, here we are..

Well! Well! Well!

Here we are. No be everyday be Christmas.

Merino needs to go out for Jorginho.

We need that over head passes for Kai.

The decision was the right one.

It was Trosaards fault.

Omo!!!! I’m worried for our right hand side of play.

I hope we can still cook with them.

COYG!!!!

Arsenal to win 4-0

We go top of the league today 😌

This man is stupiiiid and reckless.

What rational justification does he have for this?

mostob:
He walked out of the stadium by himself so that should be a good sign.

This is where Arsenal recall him. He shouldn't play the second game.

My point exactly.

The way him play don do.

Let’s recall him ASAP.

Omo!!!! This Saka injury.

I hope it’s not severe sha.

mostob:
Just watch a short video of Odegaard running on treadmill. The way Arteta gave update then, we were expecting him to come back in November. Even Dave.P bin dey talk 4 months. Arteta no try at all... Playing with our emotion

Aghh it was the best thing I saw on the internet today.

I no blame Arteta with the mind games Abeg. No be here that werey Nowegian coach Dey discuss Odegaards selection availability.

Like imagine if the man heard he was healing already, he would have invited Odegaard.

It might even be that this video is like a week ago so that Norway no go put mind for Odegaard side.

I like it when we hoard our players. Everybody go Dey alright last last 😂

Stats can be funny sha.

That, Onana is also competing for Golden glove awards when if you look at it, Raya has been the best premier league keeper this season.

Not like am under rating him, but IMO, Raya has been exceptional throughout this season.

mostob:
See... Without being complacent, a team can still lose a two-goal lead. I don't think we were complacent yesterday though. And Leicester had their keeper to thank if not that match would have ended in a whitewash.

At the end of the day, how you respond to situation like that of yesterday is what matters. A good team must be prepared to combat uncertainties in the game.

I agree with everything you said except for where you said we were not complacent, which again I will let it be, because it’s your opinion and how you see it.

Now, my mind is on that PSG match.
I expect it to be a tough test for us, I just pray the boys show up for it. And where is Ben white? Hope he will be available for selection by then.

BlueRayDick:
Then u shouldn't have quoted me because whatever point u thought u were trying to make, I already addressed them in my previous posts.

If u would just calm down and read my posts without quoting me out of context to push Ur pre-conceived agenda, u would've seen where I mentioned nobody planned for what happened but our players responded in the right manner and we ended up with the maximum 3 points.

That's all that matters to me.

Firstly, no one is quoting you out of context, three people can’t disagree with you on the same thing.

Secondly, no one is pushing any agenda here, at least not me. That line can’t work with me. You do know not everyone can agree with whatever you post abi? And your opinion isn’t fact, especially in a public forum like this where we are having an open debate and counter opinions.

Finally, You request for not being quoted wether in this case or any other case (I don’t know which one of it you meant) is duly noted.

mine3112:
I really don't understand why some set of fans will be happy with our performance against Leicester team with the aim of becoming a champion comes May. It is good they came back to reclaim the 3 points but we might not be this lucky against a well organised team. We should be blowing midtable teams apart and not give a glimpse of hope of coming back not even at the Emirates. It is the more reason why some pundits are still doubting our credentials even if we are 10 points ahead of Manchester City with 10 games to go. The boys and the coaching crews need to get serious and be determined to wrestle away the title from the champion. We can't avoid to fail this time after being the runner up on two consecutive occasions. It will be unacceptable for me as a fan if we didn't win the league.

Exactly.

Thank you.

BlueRayDick:
So did Leo or Arteta tell u they came into the game to lose focus and give the opponent th chance to draw level?

See, u are just grasping at straws. My point from the onset has always been that the game got out of hand and most of the plans pre-match flew out of the windows when we were complacent but what matters most was how we dealt with the situation.

Things will not always go as planned. That's why I referenced the city vs Newcastle match because city definitely were motivated to beat Newcastle to top the league but shiiit happens.

U can keep hoping arsenal will amass 114 points out of possible 114 points Sha. It's ur right as a fan

I don’t understand grasping at straws when you just summarized the point I’ve been trying to make since.

We were Complacent when we shouldn’t have.

That’s not what champions do.

One is Proactive and the other is Reactive.

Period!

BlueRayDick:
City too were supposed to crush Newcastle 10-0, but the match ended 1-1.

You people just talk as if the players left their homes with the mindset of coming to lead 2-0 and then conceding 2 goals to draw level and give everybody high blood pressure.

Arteta has admitted It was worrying we lost the two goals advantage but was impressed with how we responded and secured the win. Have I said anything different from that? 🤷‍♂️

I don’t understand. You want to compare Newcastle game with Leicester? Really? When has Leicester being competitive.

No one, no even Leicester will come to the match hoping that Arsenal don’t beat them. What’s your point?

Like I said, Leo already admitted their goof, Arteta just re emphasized what Leo said.

What we are saying is that Arsenal shouldn’t come into games and midway into the game lose focus on the objectives making opponents get back into the game because thats the most logical step they would want to take.

iamoyindamola:
We lost 2 goals lead
Na that one pain me pass
We should have been out of sight sef

Exactly. The game was supposed to end 4-0 and not 4-2.

BlueRayDick:
Let me just tell u: As a fan, if u have the mindset of "It's same ol' Arsenal" u will never enjoy matches. U will keep looking for negativity to analyze after each match.

The match was still ongoing, the players were still fighting to get something out of the game and u Don already switch writing them off. No be so.

If u were in the stadium watching live, would u have left at 2-2?

My bro! What we are saying is that, if you want to be the best in premier league, you should not give such kind of room for your opponents to get back into the game. You saying this, is as if we weren’t in control of the game, like their two goals just came from no where. If you watched Trosaard’s interview, he admitted to the goals being easy goals. And by easy goals, I mean giving them a breather to take their chances at us.

The mentality we are supposed to be having is crushing our opponents totally. I mean total domination, in both Halves, we can only stop after the final whistle.

That’s the mentality that teams like Bayern and Madrid have.

Glad we were able to get a win at last and that’s because of the maturity we showed by not panicking.
But it’s our lack of urgency that put us in that position in the first place.

We needed to be swift and ruthless which we were not.That’s the only way we can get ahead of our rivals.

Mind you, we have other teams apart from Man City to contend with, let’s not get carried away.

We really need to be far ahead of everyone if we want to be winners. No room for slacking at all at all.

Omo!!!!! My mind don come down 😂😂

iamoyindamola:
If match end like this now and apari win the league in may
We go see the same excuse not forgetting apari dropped points today

We weren’t supposed to lose today.

It’s little things like this that make us look like we are not serious. We suppose don finish this game since first half.

We weren’t serious at all.

We played rubbish today.

Palmer na baller.

He does not deserve to play for Chelsea 😂

I need more goals for this match.

We need to over take Apari and his team in terms of GD.

Jesus na werey.

Even in the midst of kids he was still playing like an amateur, running and falling up and down without end put. Even Ethan scored before Gabi this season..😂

Califiori is sleek with his game. I like it.

Jorginho will be controlling everyone in the field as if he knows best and when it’s his turn to show it, him go Dey fumble 😂. That goal we conceded was as a result poor marking from him.

What I loved most about yesterdays game was when big Gabi entered, I saw him mentoring and guiding the other young center back, trying to tell him where to position himself.

He was also encouraging the goal keeper and building the teenagers confidence.

To me, that’s how a leader is supposed to be. I was really impressed with big Gabi.

Overall, it was a beautiful game and special shout out to Sterling for getting his first goal for us. I really want him to adapt to the team as quickly as possible.

iamoyindamola:
Last season arsenal celebrated a draw at etihad
We were criticised
City celebrated draw against 10 man arsenal everyone is happy
This thing they confuse me

The truth is that, anything that involves Arsenal, everyone is against us. They don’t want us to win.

Having haters is real my bro.

What’s this I am hearing in the media that Premier League clubs are reporting Arsenal for involving the dark arts in their games of last season.

Nothing go make me laugh as to when I see say Burnley, West Ham and Chelsea Dey among the teams wey Dey complain.😂🤣

Apparently, them wanted us to knack them more akpako after the thrashing we gave them.

Honestly, I really don’t get all these complaints about our games off late. Tottenham lost 4-1 last season when they were a man down and a lot of people called their coach foolish for still playing high line despite being a man (or 2 down, I can’t remember).

Now, same people are complaining because we decided to be objective and pragmatic.

My point is, our haters are getting rattled left right and center, all though there are few objective people who keep their bias aside and see that Arsenal is one of the strongest team in the premier league at the moment.

We are no longer pussies any more and that threatens a lot of people. Period.
