So na Liverpool dey give tiu joy now? So if arsenal turns things around, you'll now leave Liverpool for arsenal again ba?

If Liverpool face any team in the world,(not Europe or England o) and I see 2 of Sallah,Mane and Firminho, I'm confident of positive outcome, and should Liverpool lose the game, the opposition must have suffered great pressure.

Infect, that fast drugged pressing and energy all over the field they give person joy.

BTW, Liverpool na like Side chick o, Kokane sef dey do MILF

I dey use one eye wait till Dangote or any football loving person/persons take over.

I just need to enjoy football elsewhere, as I have seen myself in recent times losing interest cos of Arsenal.

Jodera:
This is not Wenger bro.
Aren't you seeing improvements in our play? At least, you for wait till next season to see how far instead of moving to man city in January transfer window

Me I can't see any improvement kan kan, go see games like Atalanta,Wolves,Atlectico etc.

I don't enjoy Arsenal's football at all. I need to start enjoying it first, I can endure trophyless seasons for now.

[quote author=Roland17 post=91817355][/quote] Na you sabi
Shey them Fabregas and co no still dey follow Arsenal match in their new club ni

Jodera:
Shey you no go leave us go Liverpool thread?

We still have that sympathy loff

Spy360:
Apart from his onfield coaching, I must state that I admire the intelligence of Mikel Arteta when he speaks. Brutally honest, inspiring, simple, respectful, with no drama.

This guy is heading somewhere. Best decision the board has made so far.

I just hope this your oyinbo will not turn to curse and yabbing on him should he be struggling at 7th,8th,9th next season.

Spy360:
Waka.


That's all I can say.

You're like Wenger, Soccer no dey pain you much. Ask Sod9, he will tell you what Sifia pains is.
Arsenal will beat Liverpool only to surrender to Watford , people can say it happens to every team, but Arsenal own too much

All the best funyi o.

Spy360:
Emery is good at managing poverty. Give him riches and he will abuse it.

In his first season, he got shit players but managed to play to their strengths. I remember him attacking with full backs on both sides without wingers. Then we thought if he had wingers he would kill teams. He had wingers in his second season, but we still haven't recovered from the debacle he caused.

Yehyenyenyeh.. Forget vEmery and face your problems.
He's gone and 8 months is enough to make changes. You're also a Buhari APC, pinning all failures to past regime.

Spy360:
If you will be coming back please bring the wrapper wey we use wrap you too...

I will come back when Arsenal gets a football lovers as owner/owners.

kokaneprodigy:
If we play beautiful football and lose y’all will complain. We play boring and win still complain that no dribbles.

Make una stand one place for this thunder to work abeg.

This kind of Win don't last long, the only positive is the goalkeeper and bus packing.
Nothing is to be specially proud off, especially when your opposition are doing fitness pre season training

kokaneprodigy:
Guy u get my point even though I was just trolling.
We won’t win every match, even City and Liverpool couldn’t, but this new low of y’all seeing us as underdog going into every fixture na cos of Emeryball and his stupid lineups.

How many teams above us have we won since Arteta? Emery would have arranged one comical partnership in midfield with Willock at 10. Then we would be scapegoating Mustafi and Xhaka by now.
Emery made us worse than we actually are.

Emery only lost to city at Emirates, he either won or draw other had fixtures.
Arsenal Chelsea 2-0
Arsenal spurs 4-2
Arsenal Liverpool 1_1
Arsenal_utd..2-0
Arsenal _Spurs 2_2
Arsenal_Valencia 2_0
Arsenal_Napoli 2-0

Emery's worst was dropping to 8th, but you sti can't surpass that 8th.
Emery's best was 5th and Ueurpa final, and you still can't get pass round 32.

kokaneprodigy:
I’m tuning in at 6:00am to see the match again. We gave Fkhalifa a big L.

That boring game, wetin you wan watch? Dribbling, passes,nothing dey the game take the 2 giveaways, there was nothing on target again.

daveP:
Firmino did it, now Lacazette redid it.


Oh So Mane gets his 1st Emirates goal?!!!

Mane scored in his first game at Emirates in the 3_4 win in 2016.

Spy360:
Leave Kokaneprodigy abeg. To him now e remain small make we win league... Mtchew!

Meanwhile, Fkhalifa we don use you do give away to Liverpool what else do you want?

Abegi!
Liverpool don win una when it mattered most, both in league and Carabao.
Na preseason we dey for hear jare

iamoyindamola:
The true is this Liverpool squad will suffer from next season, they have been founded out

Laye, worst is they'll make 2nd.
Liverpool have away of not taking low profile games unserious.
.
Allison and V.dijk played too casual.

Liverpool are so unserious with preseason games, maybe we're still rusty, see how Allison and V.Dj dey do give away like they still in celebrating mood.

Liverpool doing the Arsenal giveaway tonight.

kokaneprodigy:
Once I’m done with checking my mails in the morning and actioning my bits. Next thing na to do short drive around the neighborhood dey find MILFs. The weather is not helping matters. I just dey pray make magùn no kill me.

Like players like fans, you don use all your energy on Milfs finish wetin remain?
Na why the sexy London boys at the Emirates dey jog and slow on the ball.

Eje titan ni bank

Don't you like the high electric octane from the Anfielders
Those ones no dey do Milf.

kokaneprodigy:
Fck off niggar the posts is for true Arsenal fans.

Positive vibes only. You and Sod should get a room. This is why I like Spy always positive.

Spy is like Ty of AFTV, he no dey feel pain, me I don suffer enough sifia pains, I can't take it more.
Better go enjoy football elsewhere, you're 60yrs already and still want to be hoping like Nigerian's hoping for 24/7 power supply

Baba enjoy your old age with good football o.

kokaneprodigy:
Go ur City thread the question wasn’t for u

We the Anfield faithfuls are coming to put you in premium tears.

Spy360:
Let's do something. Let's list the attack of teams around us and compare.

Oya, start with Spurs. Help us.

Kane
Son
Alli
Lo celso
Bergwin
Moura.

Mouriho may have turned them defensive, but don't forget those attack got to the UCL final and got top4 in recent years.

iamoyindamola:
Exactly I think the midfield is the problem here

Yes, and even most of our attackers Unfortunately are mostly cowards, When they receive the ball and an opponent is even 5 metres away, the default reaction is to just pass the ball back where it came from and rid themselves off of any pressure. Ever wondered why the attacking play has lacked bite since Sanchez left?
An Arsenal fan of about 10yrs should definately be frustrated of the tiresome and needless sidepasses and backpassing.

iamoyindamola:
Bro since wengay days, the defence have been back but they have very good midfielders that can hold up ball to protect the defence.
Shebi it's when opponents get ball they will think of attacking, but now it's a different story xhaka can't even pass to a player in front of him without making error.
There's no creativity in the midfield we depend on that wasted Pepe or wing for everything.
Tierney have to be waiting for bodies in the box18 before serving because lacazette is busy fight gidigbo with opponents midfielders instead of staying in the box.
I think the whole department need changes in personnel

In as much as they may have a point on defence, the attacking set up is also midtable standard that needs urgent attention.

Below is a fan's opinion last year on the matter.

Jodera:
lol

Abi, If front3 of PAL of almost £200M, can't finish teams off, only to stressfully score1 and expect the average defence to be keeping clean sheet every game.
I can't wait to get the Upamencani and Koloibally, let's see what English football looks like on them.

.

Jodera:
I don't want to think of saka going to injury. To see how our attack was, we were dependent on auba(which isn't bad tho since he's experienced), then we, at a certain was depending on martinelli(our so called nobodyhinho then), now we're depending on saka for creativity. Now It got me pondering, what if saka wasn't this creative this season or martinelli didn't turn up then... How would we have coped?

We'll stress to score 1 goal a match.

kokaneprodigy:
The way the thing dey sweet my belle ehn.

The pain must be very sifia for them. Lana1 go dey purge by now

Football funny sha, the scummies will feel the Arsenal pain tonight
They were heading to 3rd only to be back to Europa spot

Jodera:
I humbly disagree with this. Check out during our Emery back days, we concede a lot, not because our defence is that bad, but because our midfield is so so bad. Our Midfield doesn't stop the opposition attack before it gets to defence and that's why we're receiving 10+ shots a game. Point is, any team that concedes 10+ shot on target has more to do with midfield and attack compared to defence. Also, how many goals have we conceded since Arteta took over? Our attack is really blunt, none of our player is in double digits aside auba in goals... Isn't this worrying? Assists nko? Worst is midfield...only one goal among all midfielders. Isn't this worrying?

Yesterday, it was all possession without actual breaking of lines. No individual creativity from the attack.
Not that we shouldn't change our defence, but midfield and attack first and you'll see the world of difference it'll make.

Let Saka get injury and let me see how Arsenal will score 2 in a game.
When you parade attackers who are scared and poor with the ball. After series of countless possessions upfront, then gbam opposition give our defenders constant pressure and they'll later capitulate.

We only look like a proper attacking team when facing teams like Norwich that gives us much space to operate.

Spy360:
Against who? Even then, we only have Martinez to thank for covering well for Leno.

I'm not covering their shits, but should our attack had buried 2 or more, Only Kola would be chopping blame by now.

Spy360:
My brother for me our attack is ready for next season. But with this kind of defense, even Messi leg go weak to score goal mere looking at the clownish displays the defense put up at the back. The psychological torture alone can make the best attack to just wind down.

OK nah.
But we kept clean sheet and didn't concede erratic goals since Luiz at city.

You can't have Auba on the wings and expect us to attack or defend effectively all day same as Pepe.

Sallah and Mane are always comfortable on the ball,causing your defense problems all day and that's why Arnold and Robertson can come forward to support with ease.

Unfortunately this team is full of cowards. When they receive the ball and an opponent is even 5 metres away, the default reaction is to just pass the ball to nearest man, (a case of Majeobaje lowomi)and rid themselves off of any pressure. Xhaka, and Kola are 2 very big culprits of that tiresome and needless backpassing.

Anybody saying we should sort defense is right and I agree, but its a matter of time we see the problems upfront.

Roland17:
Baba, I no agree with this one. So the other teams are supposed to just sit and watch you score abi, including the top teams? Your goals will not save you or guarantee you a W against top sides, i.e: Chelsea vs Sheffield. Our attack has to average 3 or more goals to get a W at this point, anything lower will end in tears (draw or loss).
A combination of the best attackers in the world can not even guarantee you an average of 3 goals per game worth more our own. We have gotten so used to mediocrity that it is now okay and normal to parade clowns as defenders in the EPL. No attacker will be motivated to stay aggressive when they constantly lose leads/ games because of clownish displays from our defenders.
Our defense is below average and that is a big difference when it comes to working with what you have.

I get your point, and I'm not disputing the problems at the back. But if we can kill games off,put opposition on constant pressure as against the insipid pointless possession, we'll be close if not there yet.

Remember the game at city, we didn't concede till 45th minute, but we never looked like scoring all through, maybe its my eyes, we don't look threatening, you won't see dangerous crosses,shots,defense splitting passes, everything is just pass pass and pass.

See the game at wolves, we defended and got lucky not to concede, but going forward, we were slow,weak and dry, until Laca came on, and immediately we scored, everyone became energized.

If we buy the best defenders, I can assure you if the forwards are not making use of the ball effectively, opposition teams will put constant pressure and the world class defenders will look mediocre also.

We need to fix defense just as the attack. If I were to be coach, I'll focus on attack first as we don't concede or make errors every minute.
