Damian10:
I'd rather we adopt the Guadiola style by playing without a point man. All we need do is hasten up Lookmans allegiance to play for Nigeria, then use him, chukwueze and iheanacho to roam freely in attack, the young trio would be a nightmare for every defence at the AFCON.

I like this.

BlueRayDick:


This is not true. Saint-Maxim is similar to Mane when he was at Southampton, take him out of Newcastle to a bigger team with more quality and see him be a bigger player than can ever dream of.

I think he is also like Adama...

Strength, power,pace and never give up attitude.

Silentgroper:
I observed he was attempting to do d same against arsenal bt tavarez nd gabriel wouldnt him d space esp. Tava. I just dey laugh when i read some comment wishing tierney had played dat match instead of tava.. Mehn wetin salah 4 use tierney eyes see ehn...

Not all times though, but most times if you pack the bus and close him down all day, he will struggle and hardly have his usual field days.

Tierney likes to go forward a lot, Sallah would just have much space and that's free lunch for him.

Silentgroper:
He's there 4 just 18months though.

oh o, Then he knows what he is into.

Spy360:

You can't handle Salah by marking him. He's good enough to beat anyone and even if he doesn't he will pull you out of position for the likes of Mane and Jota to wreck havoc. Salah is dealt with through tactics and team play.

Salah's strength is mainly in the movement of TAA. So the way to beat Salah is to restrict TAA. To do so, someone who has pace, stamina or dribbling should position himself at the LW whenever TAA overlaps. Then the entire team should try to find that guy once they win the ball. Lacazette could have been excellent doing that job because of his stamina, another person is Pepe, Martinelli etc. This will restrict TAA's movement and also isolate Salah upfront.

Sallah can be best stopped when you pack the bus. i've seen this much.

daveP:
Lol.



Teams don't even fear Auba. See how fear of Salah made Lokonga and Tavares turn partners.

A forward should be feared... I like me a striker in the mould of Suarez, Torres and Lukaku.

Almost all ARSENAL'S forward are soft and meek

iamoyindamola:

Do you he left inter after winning the league cos there won't be money and they will likely sell

if so, I fear for him at tottengham's job.

iamoyindamola:

Yes sir

I think he's a bit like Simeone. I feel he blends resources with some money.

Well, can't say much about him.

iamoyindamola:

Which replacement again Kwa
Until we field 10 defenders and a goalkeeper

Cedric, kola and Mari are deemed not good enough na

iamoyindamola:

No he's a cheque book coach he can't manage resources

You mean conte?

iamoyindamola:
Kokaneprodigy
Pires said we need more defenders that our midfield and attack is okay

You know Gabriel, White and Tomimson would need good replacement

Silentgroper:
For some reason conte has been working wonders with d same set of players..

Wonders in how many games?
Struggling to beat Vietnam 3-2 and Leeds? Its too early to judge.

BTW, Either Spurs does well or not with Conte wouldn't change the fact that he is a good and top coach.

Spy360:

You're misunderstanding the whole thing.

First Arteta has managed the steer the club from a sackable 20th position to a respectable 5th. That's progress. If the season ends like this, it will be seen as remarkable success especially knowing where we are coming from. You will say this is mediocrity, but I'll say it's not being stupid. It will be humongous for us to compete with City or Chelsea or Liverpool and top them any of them. Our squad is only capable of finishing above 7th position. If they accomplish better, then Kudos to them.

OK o

Spy360:

Were you expecting us to beat Liverpool and/or win the league this year?

Later you will call us delusional.

I wasn't.

Imagine I saw a post on Instagram where Arsenal fans are hailing Arterta over lampard and Ole just because they faced sack before him?
Question is would utd and Chelsea be patient with Arterta?

Another one post. Ramsdele kept the game in a respectable score line...I mean 4-0 has now become respectable to Arsenal?

Yes respect to Ramsdele but being happy with 4-0 is a no no for me.

Spy360:

Na your week be this, next week you go disappear- you and Kokane.

Na only iamoyindamola I go accept his case. He is here whether we win or lose. Una na wash.

If Arsenal had won that game, I'm sure you too will troll me with the Liverpool affections have shown here. You see what Jode4a did with the Nuno Esperito matter?

BTW, my view have been summed from Roland's post where he said fans are just keeping hope, Arsenal are still long way to go.

And for me, I've not seen much to give my heart back, but what infuriates me the most is when fans begin to overhype and see much positives in a 4-0 loss.

Jodera:
Auba no sabi press. Sometimes he's doing as if he's forced to press and the worst part is that he can't hold onto his own under pressure.
Lacazette own be say him dey press, but once him hold ball and see Liverpool shadow, him go just fall for ground.

To be honest eh, I'm looking for a day arsenal will have an all round striker. This two don tire person

I no dey feel them at all upfront

iamoyindamola:

All we are saying is the same defence we all over hyped got embarrassed same way Mustafi and his clowns would have, so what's the difference
It could have gotten worse if not for ramsdale, while the midfield we have been talking about was evidently blown away
No one is criticizing any players

My guy Jota used someone to mop ground, who be that sef

iamoyindamola:

You win some you lose some, I have tackled him about Nuno too but you can't say he's not right.
What about Jota and zaha he told us about, I remember he was singing Jota name before lfc will even think of having him
Some of us have seen this already others are just taking it as it happen
From the beginning Arteta is/was a bad choice
From the beginning defence shouldn't be the priority
Now we have conceded more than we scored
We are even owing goals -4 imagine goals way we never score

I appreciate your sincerity bro
its like trying to troll UTD and PSG fans who believed Messi and Ronaldo would come and turn them to an invincible team, that it didn't work doesn't mean both aren't world class who could make you team unbeatable.
Jodera didn't come to ask for epistle if the Jota i said we missed out on has been a failure for Liverpool, but wants me to write epistle for how Nuno spent years and failed at Totten ham.... Oma shey o.

Jodera:
Fkhalifa..
We still dey wait your Nuno espiranto wey you tell us say Tottenham dey lucky to get and arsenal dey unfortunate to miss out.

We still dey wait your epistles on why him no make Tottenham to the fearless fighters you claimed they'll be

if you read comments on front page the day he was sacked, you'll see how many are of the firm opinion that Nuno is a good coach who found himself in an unfortunate situation, a lot opined how he wasnt given time, given his players etc.

it does not still change the fact that he is a good coach who made wolves a fearless team beating all the top teams, discovering quality players and played a kind of football I liked. mind you, i wouldn't agree he played defensive football, I saw his side coming out to attack and score likes of city and Chelsea.
That he wasn't given time, or didn't work out at spurs doesn't change sincere minds opinion about him and that can be evidenced on the front page comments.

Roland17:


Truth be told, the bulk of the older generation Arsenal fans I have encountered are very unhappy with this distasteful level of mediocrity. Infact, many have either moved on to other teams or have flat out stopped watching Arsenal. The rot we are suffering today did not start today, it evolved over time and I would hate to bore you. I have detailed this degeneration on this thread before.

As for now, while I agree that ownership is a big problem, coaching is very poor and it is evident everyday. The younger generation who are enamored by statistics make it difficult for many to see the current rot and how mediocre this team is. They exaggerate irrelevant stats that make many see progress but in reality, regression when stacked against other teams.

My broda, today na Sunday, I no want set myself up. Like I said before, dem sabi my stance about this team for here.

Ori yin pe gan ni Sir.

coded01:


I Blame Arsenal Fans especially the older ones who watched the invincibles play futbol.

Arsenal fans need to come out in large numbers to demand for the sacking of the coach and also send some mediocre players out immediately!

I dey feel you.

Roland17:


We are not going anywhere. Just circling around mediocrity and exaggerating little victories in losses and even wins.

Dem sabi my stance for here well well!

100% on point.

Exaggerating and seeing positives in all situations is all I read over the net.

Defense won't win you anything at Anfield

Do you agree?

This is to tell you how rotten this country has become on a daily basis, you're faced with threads on stay in Nigeria or go abroad.
May those politicians who have hands on how this country got to this never have peace.

OP, I advice you take the nigeria job, live within your means, save up and travel comfortably later on.

Kbs468:
What we would do to Arteta if he loses to Liverpool after raising our Hopes with 10 games unbeaten run

Do you agree we should do the below to him or forgive him should the unexpected happened

you mean if he loses with a cricket score?

useful4us:
Oh Allah forgive this great Imam of his sins, include him among the people that will enter your Paradise.
I was weeping while reading this write up, that the Aljanat I seek to enter with my lackadaisical Ibadah is the same Aljanat that some great people had sacrificed a lot for and were still scared may be their meticulous Ibabdah was enough.

The part he said he doesn't know if to congratulate or lament over his soul was deep.
May Allah grant him Jannah along with other pious predecessors who strove hard for the Deen. May he forgive, strengthen and unite us all in paradise.

pretty much interesting experiences...hopefully the celebs would have taken some tips, Also fans too should know when to approach, ignore and put them in their places.
I give it to that lady that placed Basketmouth and Bovi in their places as well as the Saint Obi guy. May we all be celebrated and never be a source of shame from fellow humans.

Am I the only one who smile silently whenever Spy360 and Sod90 exchange cool and friendly messages
Hmmm, long may it continue o..
some of us like it this way, na peace we want not war o

Sequel to a post I read few days ago on Taiwo Hassan (Ogogo) celebrating his 62nd years birthday, A guy made a comment on how Ogogo snubbed him when he stood up to greet him after briefing about him to his friends. He felt embarrassed and stopped watching his movies.

I saw another on Instagram when Laycon snubbed a fan last year. Though I personally haven't experienced this, maybe because I fiercely detest me getting embarrassed even be it a boss or parents, So I am the last person you will see trying to get attention of any Celeb, except I see you bring a cool and welcoming face.

So do you have any experience, how best do you think can this be avoided or should fans just understand the celeb lifestyle doesn't give room for much attention to fans. Hopefully, Some of the 'CELEBRITIES' can read and pick one or two things.

0-2 win at Leicester is actually a big win...

What are they getting right at Arsenal?
