If is what you used there. And I'm happy you used if.

If is probability. We can continue to use if till Game week 33 and then start wondering why we fall short. The technicality of a natural is way way different from what any of our forwards offer. A Fernando Torres moment was all we needed yesterday to make city cry in pains, but we have no striker. Allll our possession won from city at the left back spot where GM and Co were all ended up useless because GM doesn't have sense and 2ndly because that was the plan all through. We could have done better. Yes goalscoring may not be our problem, but a 9 will make us win games way way earlier and out of nothings and that's why I'll continue to demand for one. The fall out of Auba with MA is not going to make me overlook that.


If the fallout didn't happen and Auba was an integral part of consequent setups and we are still getting several goalscorers, that will be >>>> than now.

clinicality doesn't have anything to do with position on the pitch. Even when we had more traditional forward in Nketiah and a more proven striker in Jesus, Odegaard and Trossard were and is better finishers than them. Auba was good but he also misses chances like 2 or 3 and still scores 2 or 1 because the creativity was there. Ozil knew where to place the ball in front of goal when he needs to score than Auba, one is a AM while the other is a S. If we score 3 to 4 goals per match without a pure 9, why would I need one when we can use that resources to chanel in other areas? (This is my main argument).

This is why I don't want to say anything yet to those rival fans dancing macabre dance here and there chatting shiii.

I want them to play their own respective tough games let us see how they will fare .

Under Emery and later stage of Wenger's days we would've lost two or three of those matches up there.

Na dat mentality to always win and the attitude they put into it that I find so beautiful. Both coaches you mentioned would have lost the game with the way City came all out from the 46 minute. The fact that the draw felt like a loss to us and win to City shows that the shit from Rodri and Bernado na trash.

Spy360:
When you see a well drilled team it's the manager.

Can we all now accept that Arteta was right about not needing a striker?

Three tough away games and we almost came out with 9points.

Without our best player Odegaard for two of those games.

Arteta deserves his flowers

I don't know what other fans might be saying, but you're right. Spurs game, if our forwards were deadly enough, that match would have produced more goals for us. Against City I believe the late introduction of skelly tempered with the backline setting a bit.

First half against Walker was good for Martinelli, he tried some take ons and always pass the ball. Right from that first half he always track back to defend against savinho when he noticed he was having it so easy with Cala, I can't count one successful dribble by savinho whenever Martinelli marked him, But once he sees Cala otilor. Then second half almost all our chances was directed to him, he will make the run and before he gets to the ball, City don take am. Running that forth and back without touching the ball can be really tiring. When I knew he was really tired was when a ball went off for throwing and he first held his head before holding his waist. These player are not Machines, Mbappe and Vinicius doesn't have it easy with Walker na overworked Martinelli wan come do am effortlessly. At some point it was just fun for Walker cus he knows that after the run with the ball na just a little contact is needed to dispossess Martinelli.

We deserve the whole 3 points but it is what it is. Jesus's na werey needless rubbish all the time

Martinelli ❤️👏

Everybody is tired we just the celebrate goal kick.

Nelli is tired

Nothing concern Arsenal with crossing the middle. We go defend tire. Just hope a deflected shot doesn't find its way into the net.

Raya!!

Raya mahn!!!!! 👏

Yet again, but Doku kicked our free ball away and no warning was given given.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Savinho wan wound Cala boy. This game is more physical than I thought.

WTF!!!!!!

With all that Rodri talk about us coming to draw last season at etihad I hope we get something today. Odegaard isn't available, creativity and all is limited but that shouldn't mean we can't win games. Teta can play to the strength of those he have available and something can still come out. Nwaneri this, Nwaneri that, I know he will get his moment but certainly not up the xl against City. I don't mind playing that haram footie if our attackers become more aware in the final 3rd, defending and winning through counter or whatever will be a big W regardless of the match stats.
Arteta's baba must have told him Odegaard and Saka are machines which made him over confident in our transfer dealings. I wish Martinelli scores today to boast his moral, e be like Arteta tells him the kind of dribble to do, cus how can a player that use to have 5,6 successful take ons suddenly can't a take a player one on one match after match. Defend and score goals at the end point, na wetin dey give Mourinho trophies at Chelshit back then. And I think after City this kind of football will stop regardless of with or without O8.

Missed!!!

Martinelli or King Kai to score or assist

This squad should be good enough to get the job done. I'm sure Trossard will drift to midfield while King Kai goes up. Considering both partey and jorginho aren't fast track back, our offside trap should be proactive.

I'm sure Saka would see his comment and just laugh. Even when I'm High, I try to remain silent than say what isn't relatable or makes sense. I guess Pires trusted his new plug too well to say trash when he is high, cus what's this
He even said Saka doesn't step up in big games nah!! Nikaa was phuking high.

BlueRayDick:
Do u remember the assist he did to Martinelli in one of our other matches? The weyrey even celebrate before Martinelli scored inside empty net.

Aston villa

Waiting to see people who know nothing about abia state or that road to come for the governor's head. Nikka is right, that road have been trash ever since the days of god knows who.

iamoyindamola:
This is where I disagree, why will he stay when he knows he won’t get more than 5-10 minutes per match when he can go and play 75+ per match elsewhere
Na 10 Porto give am o stop playing
He is a confirm starter

Blue Ray is actually right. Arteta was more concern in making Viera a Saka deputy than Odegaard deputy which he was thought to be. If he was getting minutes when odegaard Is off, he wouldn't be unhappy.

mostob:
Calafiori to leave Italy's camp due to injury. He will be back at Arsenal in order to be assessed ahead of the derby.

International break should be scrapped TBH. I'm not saying this as an Arsenal fan but as a football fan.

I think fifa pays clubs that there player gets injured during IB. Injuries can happen anytime and to anyone regardless of when and where they're playing. If they scrap IB how we go take watch world cup and other national matches when the season is off?.

BlueRayDick:
If it is not broken, don't try to fix it.

Saka is fine playing as a RW, there's no need for any unnecessary experiment

P for period 📌
