Damn!
Martineli NOBODYHINHO makes it 2!

Nobodyhino don humble you Every good fan enjoys it when a player makes us eat our words.

E remain Pepe and Nelson to humble me.

I told ya, chill till October and you'll see positive signs, its not even the scores flattering me,but the fast sweet attacking football..

Half fit Bellerin & Tierney stabilizing and giving the team shape already..

Martinelli is a confirm south American abeg, see energy, risk and sharpness, reminds me of Sanchez. That's what you get when you train with Neymar/Jesus/Firminho/Auba and Lace..


That Willock's run with the ball sweet my bele, ball drivers any day ahead of tipy tapy pass me I pass you.

Spy360:
For Standard Liege, here's my team. I would like Martinez to give Leno another run and make Emery more confused. I have a lot of confidence in that guy. Again I am not going to give up on AMN, he should get an opportunity to show that he can improve. Lack of competition may have caused a lag, but he must get a chance, but Bellerin should start to gain fitness. Saka should get more game time as well as Nelson and Martinelli.

Give Guendouzi a rest, he's a big boy now. Torriera and Willock and Smith-Rowe can have their chance as well as Ozil. Can't understand why Emery relegates Ozil, such talent. I mean maximise his strengths rather than focus on his weaknesses.

Saka............ Martinelli.......... Nelson
......................... Ozil..........................
......... Willock ........... Torriera.........
Tierney.. Holding.. Chambers..Bellerin
...................... Martinez ......................

Similar to mine, just that I feel Mustafi deserves a spot.

Saka should be sub off for Pepe, Saka is a big boy to, Cesc I heard praised him and Guen..

Pepe should come in around 65thmint, he is competing with Nelson, that's his level for now

Also let's see what Niles can do in midfield, maybe Balogun also.

Spy360:
My brother, just scroll up and see response. You know his brain engine is rickety...
Some people mumu die... Lol

I saw it, I just weak..
Like I said, opinion of 0.2% doesn't matter. Littering the thread with epistles hasn't changed the minds of people who come to read here nor even the rival fans.

Don't let another Efe/Miracle that will disappear in thin air win again o...
.vote tiwan tiwa ( our own)...

Let's start a fresh this season's winner must be odd from previous ones..

Spy360:
I will be civil in my response.

Probably you thought Gnabry was excellent. But guys like Tony Pulls felt he wasn't good enough. So many players have been termed not good enough until someone else who saw something good decided to harness it.

Many fans including you think Guen is not good enough. Assuming Emery followed your line of thought we would not see the other qualities Guen has started showing this season. He undoubtedly has been our best midfielder so far this season. This speaks volumes.

Someone like Nelson may currently be under fire, but good coaches will not deny the qualities he can bring out when properly managed.

Remember De Bruyne was a Chelsea reject. But today he is bossing the PL. I am sure a lot of Chelsea fans regret not keeping him.

Serge Gnabry wasn't good enough to play for West Brom. But he is good enough to play for Bayern.

The point is for me, as long as a player makes conscious efforts to improve his game, try things even if he fails, I will always give that player a chance.

No player is the perfect player. Everyone has a weakness- some are slow, some lack stamina, some can't stay in position, etc. But these are not what I am looking out for, I try to find their strengths instead.

Xhaka can't run, but he can pass.
Ozil can't defend, but he creates chances.
Auba can't dribble but he positions himself well to score.
Giroud is one legged but good with his head.
Guen may not be Modric, but he has potentials. That's what I am looking at, and that's what I want us to see. Funny thing is that, he always gets positive reviews else where except for you lots. And because you and sod can type, you fill the thread with negative insinuations.

I used to think I'm the one fooling myself here until I saw many positive remarks on YouTube, Instagram, blogs and others..

Check front page on match day, even on rival threads, you see them praising the lad.

AFTV crew who see games live koro koro with their eyes at Emirates and orther grounds are appreciating and looking for ways to guide the boy to success and axe the problem (Xhaka)..

So don't let one cokaine and Alomo people give you headache here

fkhalifa
Just because they drew city, he said he prefer their style of play and don't care about trophy

Why you dey do like this na, I never said such,I only said I admire some things in them ( Mental,physical strength, resilience, etc) They have a team strong and confident enough to play any big game..
.
Yesterday's rape is a shock, and I'm sure nobody saw it coming and would bet against it.

So Spurs to can get raped like this
My first time of seeing this from them..

Serge Gnabry is the reason I feel most of our youngsters if nurtured,learned and grew under quality management,will make them top players playing top football...

Adelaide and Bennacer, are good example..
Good luck to Saka,Guen,Nelson,Willock,Balogun et al it's never easy in England conpares, not even when we lack quality senior players..

solomonbrown64:
.... Everton, when Pepe is still fumbling. Everton is expensive oh, I don't think Arsenal will splash another 70 -80m in January except if We are actually going for the title.

.... [b]Lacazette coming back will mean Auba to the wings and that will make our offense worse in my opinion espe[/b]cially since Pepe is still finding his feet.

.... I will be really surprised if Emery doesn't play with a ten after his fullbacks are back. Perhaps he is resting Ozil for that

Auba can score and create from RW, that LW is a no no no...
Emery should move Auba to the RW, Lava to CF and Saka to LW, Pepe should be coming from the bench

iamoyindamola:
You say wetin gone where
75m go waste like that ,to think na installment

That 75M, I'll buy Anthony Knochert and Doucoiure and still collect change to purchase another academy boy like Saka .

Positive is that A point at Trafford is fairly okay, though 3 points was possible against this average utd side, but its still a rivalry encounter and both teams will raise their game..

Also we're back to 4th, we are going unbeaten until we go to Etihad...

Bellerin,Laxazette,Tierney,Holding, Ozil and mustafi should be back fully in October..

We need to go back for Everton Soarez , Pepe has not done more than Iwobi,Welbeck and Saka for us, He just must prove himself at Chelsea, City and spurs ground, else he's a goner.

If Pepe fails to turn this shyté I just saw from him this half, I'll cast him big time...like wtf?
Iwobi would have been trolled with this kind of show..
Saka/Auba doing fine, but where's the 72£ buy in games like this?

Stoke city want to do another holding injury today on us abi, Guen and Torreira are not for physical games away in EPL abeg..

Xhaka scared again? Bending his head?

Pepe fails to redeem himself then Nelson should take his position..I've seen Welbeck do more at old Trafford

So sad to read my favorite lady is gone, that beauty is natural..she's cool and loving. She's the Debbie rise of this year... Good luck to her..

Dianne and Khaffi were my outstanding babes..

Good luck to my favorite man Frodd..

Swissh:
I will rather see Nelson than saka against that Wan Biasaka

Why?

iamoyindamola:
I am afraid for martinelli more than saka, the boy should be careful.
Against forest, he was putting legs in dangerous places.
I don't want EPL boys to send him to the medics

I love players with guts, Saka risking his legs for that red card at Frankfurt, Martinelli's impossible header in that tight corner, Guen running at Villa risking his legs and body to win penalty are good signs for the future..
If those boys can survive a season ending injury through their formative stage, then we're bound to see a daring Arsenal side in years to come.
Walcott, Wilshere and Diaby could have dominated EPL.

BlueRayDick:
Walcott na dirty abeg!

.
Walcott started fearless, running into anything, going past players with ease, creating space, unlocking tight defense, winning us fouls,penalties and set pieces..
Remember his performance against barca,Milan and Liverpool those days in UCL knockout stage..
I believe injury killed the guy, he missed world cups, Euros, large part of seasons over and over, I think it affected him and started playing safe and that's more reason he turned out shitty..

Holding and bellerin have tasted England's long vacation injury, if similar happen again,I fear they will return all never look like fulfilling thier potentials.

iamoyindamola:
You see yourself, just a gentle reminder so you want saka to do sterling/sane but when we bring out guen or compare him with top midfielders you guys are quick to judge us.
Any way, I also wish the same for saka and Martinelli those 2 boys will be fearless.

Your wahala too much jare, me wanting Saka do a Sane is just a wishful thinking and not putting him under pressure.
if he continues to grow like how I support the gradual growth of likes of Bellerin, Holding, Guen et al...it'll still be fine by me..I just want him do well so I can to see sweet attacking football from the wings and to finally forget Iwobi...

You're right, Martinelli's goals showed he'll be a risk taker, he and Saka for thier age are so fearless, I just hope injuries doesn't hamper thier growth like that of Walcott, Wilshere and other past youngsters.

Frodd just said Elo came to apologize to him before he left, Dude bowed and submitted to the strength of Slow tiger

Froddnation, is Elo forgiven ?

Jodera:
I'm only happy if we sold Iwobi and Emery gives saka chance for him to show his worth (which I pray and hope he'll) or Nelson take that spot. Or both are fighting for that sole spot, then I believe it's a great decision. But if after selling him, Emery is still confused and start putting midfielder there, then it's a wrong decision. I just feel the greatest decision made sha, was loaning out mkhi, cos with him still in that team, no hope for saka or Nelson.

I feel similar, it would turn out good if Saka does a Sane/Sterling and he be the surprise wonder of the season, or if Nelson hit an unbelievable form, aside that, fans will miss Iwobi at some point.. Deploying Auba or any midfielder there will make our attack blunt..Also Iwobi was a game changer from the bench,we do not have that personality ATM.

iamoyindamola:
This foolish man will be his own down fall...he should continue na

Good news is that Xhaka will go soon, remember the trend of captains leaving after a season or two.

kodded:
say hello to your new captain














#EmeryOut

Emery just dug his own grave of failure..

Emery out

Sadly, what we have today are Fathers and Mothers but very few parents.

Mr Lana is playing mind game with y'all, we know utd may be bad ATM, but Its a big game and no team will go to old Trafford and cruise easily..

City and barca struggled to win there few months ago and Liverpool drew there..

For me draw will fair and a struggled win will be very good.

Lana is looking for a soft landing, we win, and he make you feel he expects it, they win and he trolls us badly.

That guy na crook.

kokaneprodigy:
I see it as an opportunity to redeem ourselves.

Liverpool will shuffle against us, but its still 55-45 , they are beatable without their first eleven, but I still don't want to play them at Anfield..

Carabao is one of the opportunities for the young lads to play top football and impress us, early exit will pain me.

iamoyindamola:
Pep will use his full squad anytime

It's a shame if Pep continues to dominate England, those Spanish and barca fans no go let us hear word..
I like him, he isn't arrogant and plays football the right way, but I hate bullying.

iamoyindamola:
City will win it again pep doesn't joke with spoon.
Did you see his line up against preston

Last season they cruised to the finals in those cup games with much ease, apart from them having the squad depth, Ref even favoured them in some of the games, e.g Swansea..

Last season, Arsenal faced Spurs and utd in Carabao and FA cup respectively..

Utd faced Arsenal and Chelsea before getting knocked by Wolves .
Chelsea met Liverpool, utd spurs
Liverpool faced Chelsea and wolves.

City's bench is good,but they are very beatable in cup games against any decent side.

Those yeye FA people don start thier trash, why give us Liverpool? Away for that matter,

Let's hope Liverpool will sacrifice the cup for Bpl and UCL.

Another cruising to finals for city, I can't remember city facing any big team throughout the fa cup and carabao cup last season..

With ref making dubious decisions for them

So much for their yeye treble

That was a beautiful display from the boys, it was like a fitness training/rehearsal of what to expect in October when everyone gels and oiled..

For me The back4 of Niles,Luiz,Sokratis and Kolasinac should see bench, Chambers, Bellerin,Tierney,Mustafi,Holding and Mavropanos should all be in contention to start.

Ozil was very beautiful and joy to watch, Torreira was on point, Willock did well,Rowe was okayish, Nelson tried but didn't light up day..

Martinelli is a baller Saka is a natural winger.


On to utd.

Dreamswayne:
His stamina is his greatest asset...



He can run back and forth for full 90 minutes!

I don't know if he is physical and hard enough for an EPL top team defender, though his attack is dope
He has been rated similar or better than Robertson and Chillwell by fan who knows him.

From his photos, he fully tucked in his kits like a serious man who meant business. No time for joking around, he was a captain at his former club
Hopefully Tierney and Guen in few years time will be the captain and leader of this great club.

Jencejyde:
Watched KT during some games in the Scottish league. He looks to me like your typical old school lb. Not too much skill and flare but just gets his job done effectively which is defend his position. Well i won't mind a left back who does not bomb forward for now until we get this defense sorted out as long as he keeps his discipline and prevents any threat coming from his side of the pitch.

From his clips, he looks like Bellerin, very good going forward, with good top and ground crosses, I don't know what his defensive side looks like.

Goonermind:
Guendouzi: a star is born

Matteo Guendouzi arrived at Arsenal last summer with the type of profile that would have made him an archetypal Arsene Wenger signing.

The 20-year-old admitted last season that “nobody had heard of me” in England before he moved from Lorient for £7million in July 2018.

But now, Matteo Guendouzi is well on the way to replicating the success Cesc Fabregas achieved during his time at the Gunners that earned him his dream move to Barcelona.

Matteo Guendouzi was the heartbeat of Arsenal’s rousing comeback against Aston Villa.

The Frenchman drifted in and out of the squad last season, but he’s certainly one of the first names on the team-sheet for Unai Emery this season.

So far this season, he’s been...http://goonermind.com/guendouzi-a-star-is-born/

Please and please, we don't want the media hype on this boy, thank God he isn't from England, We appreciate the legends, his national team manager and the respected football pundit's praise on him,but please let him grow and learn game by game..Please don't call him the new Fabreagas, he is not Cesc, he is Matteo.. Let him continue to be the underdog, £8 signing and the nobody in the team.
Let's focus more on the senior experienced internationals in the team.
Thank you sir.

BlueRayDick:
Guy Ur own too much abeg.

Allow people to express their positive or negative views about a player in peace na.

Shebi somebody was here last season ending saying we should sell Auba who was obviously our best player along win Laca because he doesn't score each and every chances that comes his way. Did we kill him? Apart from one or two banters once in a while, nothing more.

This matter about how their wives/gfs cope with them no be am at all.

I'm among the critics of Auba last season for his inability to use the ball well and help the team generally and this his former lazy style of jogging and waiting for tap ins..

I noticed towards the end of last season when he was deployed to RW, he started using the ball and pace well,contributes to build up and helps defend. He even scored some wonderful individual goals like the ones at Valencia,against Burnley and the winner yesterday..

I've always preferred him uptop, He was one of the reason I want wingers, and ball carriers arouns him, since his strengths are pace and finishing

Though, he might still be wasting chances,disappearing and other frustrating stuffs, but the koko be say, since his goods far outweigh his negatives,I along those fans have left his case, focus and celebrate the positives, for he is an asset,money well spent, a blessing and far from the headache we have.

It'll be embarrassing and stvpid to be writing epistles on the negatives of players giving their all and justifying thier price tag or even beyond what they were purchased with.
