Lush100:
Make Haaland injure make we confirm.

My own be say make we win either EPL or UCL.

Other things are secondary

wasn't he Injured and sidelined for some games last season?, when that happened didn't the team still pushed on with gallons of goals. I don't get your point exactly bruh.

Spy360:
CF or not. If one player scores more than 50% of all the goals then that team has a problem.

I love our set up and game play but honestly I wouldn't mind if one player scores dem goals and the team achieve success in terms of trophies. Haaland scoring goals doesn't take away the brilliance of other players in Man City. Last season he scored the goals but Foden won a more priced individual award.

Starting from 15th September
Can someone explain why we will play 3 games in a week
Spuds on Sunday
Bolton on Tuesday
Atlanta on Thursday
Caraboa cup should be scrapped jare

Useless cup

Spurs and Atlanta are priorities, dem Nwaneri and heaven should start that efl games. Regardless we should win all of them cus that's the standard Arteta have set, loosing points in any of them will attract criticism from me because he should be winning all of them. Na wetin he tell us say we should be winning all games.

Una don try, me wey calm down read am finish I try too. 🥱 🥱
PS: Odegaard is no way anything like B.silver, the right comparison should be KDB. I don't know where this Bernardo silver ish is coming from, I had to go to YouTube to check Bernardo silver and Odegaard games with an eye to see that great similarities.

Jodera:
I read something about 9-24th too about playing knockout abi how.

Thanks for the explanation, at least yours is more detailed

I won't lie, I'm just waiting for the league to start to know more, cus it's still confusing.

Jodera:
Actually, I no even understand the format sef. I don read read on different sources taya but I still don't get a clear understanding.

Maybe once the competition starts, I will really understand it

The group games will be a one time match and the top 2 teams from each group qualifies automatically for the knock out Wich will be home and away fixtures. Aside the 8 auto qualified teams, those ranked from 9th to 24 will play a two legged fixture to determine who will make it to the knockout

mostob:
Be like na two teams from each pot... the whole thing is not clear

So in this format there's no home and away fixtures, just a single match with each team in the group?.

BlueRayDick:
Odegaard is the fulcrum of our attack line creativity-wise. That Midfield of Partey, Merino & Rice u are suggesting in unrealistic.

Our midfield-to-attack play will be bland and will lack that Odegaard magic.

When I saw Mos.tob's comment, I had to check the name again to see who's suggesting this. 😂 Be like baba wan prove Rodri right that we only play to draw with them.

BlueRayDick:
😂😂😂😂

So Arteta actually signs players with “attitude” after all . This puts an end to the debate .🙅‍♂️

You feeling like you're justified.
But if really read the article like I know you did, you might understand that his situation is different from that of Osimehn that I listed but whatever. I got some info from your output and that's all that matters. Good morning

mostob:
If you look at Merino from far right, he resemble Edu. From far left, he resemble Arteta. And now facing him properly, he look like the crossbreed of both.

I know it is somehow but how about a midfield trio of Partey, Rice and Merino against City. Make Ode go and relax small make we rough up those 115ers

Playing Man City without Odegaard is like going to war front without bulletproof vest. No one else in the squad can create the magic he does in the midfield.

BlueRayDick:
There's absolutely nothing written in this article that mentioned he had a bust up with his colleagues. Haba!

Abi na me no sabi read again?

The article is saying his colleagues are not happy with the fact that the club management gave him extra holiday after returning from AFCON and that they are jealous he's being paid higher than most of them.

Where in the article did they say he had issues like fighting with his teammates in the dressing room?

Na wa o

Calm down first, before that match he had issues with Kwara the 77, and after that match the next was a game against inter Milan and he was an unused substitute, how can your top striker sit on the bench in such high profile match if nothing was wrong?. Both the coach and players refused to say anything about him after the match. I'm not saying he's not good at his job(which is scoring), what I'm saying Is that I won't take him in my team if I'm Arteta who prioritize discipline over anything.

Jodera:
Can you just refer me to his chances?

is it group cos I know I wasn't really following the first two matches of group stage but from 3rd match till final I followed the matches well and I hardly saw any chance he missed.

If you're kind enough, please just refer me

He truely missed some chances that got me screaming at some point.

BlueRayDick:
Please post link to his issues with his fellow players in Napoli

BlueRayDick:
Alright o.

But I am 100% certain that wherever Osimehn ends up, u will not see him engage in any war of words with his manager like he has never had any issue with his club managers.

There was a time maybe in 2019 or so Osimehn had a fight with balogun in training and Rohr had to bench him, Musa and Paul onucho played the cf role ahead of him. He also had a problem with peseiro, when he also had issues with Uzoho, the whole team begged him but he was wanted to fight. And the issue with Finidi which he didn't care if the report of what the coach said was true or not before blasting him online. Omor, if I be CEO or HR I would never take such person in my organization. He has the talent, he can deliver on the pitch, but the family and togetherness in the club or organization will be at risk. Same thing that happened with him in Napoli last season, he was the reason they had many locker room issues.

iamoyindamola:
Trossard debunked rumour he wasn't happy coming off from bench against villa
He said every match has different celebration and he joked how saliba eventually forced him to do his trademark Google lens celebration

baba fit talk wetin he wan talk but we know what we saw and even Arteta got the message. Nelli have been wasteful and even himself knows it.

Jodera:
You just finally arrived to all what we're saying. Whether you wrap it under tactical or not is another debate on its own.

The koko is that if Martinelli keeps on messing up, he'll be benched sooner rather than later. Na just the potential of what he can brings that's still keeping him in starting lineup but there's a limit to rubbish a coach can take.

It was a nice ride with him, I totally enjoyed it from a distance

ObaIgwe1:
No, you are not getting it. League is not won with an excellent performance against a particular team but by your total performance for the whole season. No one blamed Pep for our loss, we just admitted the obvious that he was better overall than Arteta last season and has better prospect to win than Arteta .

Even though we took more from City as an individual team, Pep had more experience and was more stabled and not jittery carelessly like we did earlier in the season. So when it turned to h2h finish with Pep he had better fixtures than us and we lost to Villa even though we won tougher opponents and drew City, so Pep's better experience with earlier advantage won.

Confidence and experience with skillsets are built gradually. The good thing is that we were making gradual progress from being an underdog to a Title challenger. Now we know, it's just a mater of time, if we continue this way, we will win with luck not against us.

Look, I am more keen with our game this week with Villa than any other. Villa was Arteta's nemesis last season, the result this weekend has a lot to say if Arteta is ready or not. Let's focus on that for now.

Apt

Omotolani Sleek.... something sha
I actually saw the post on his page. that's why I asked.

yeah you're right, the post is on his wall. Just checked him out, he's credible shaa.

mostob:
I think he would have stayed. If Ethan and Myles could still be with the squad till now, Dubbery would not be loaned out. The three of them were given the same path. Dubbery opted not to sign a contract and chose to leave.

exactly bro. Good luck to him though.

Jodera:
The thing even shock me when I saw it now.

Some Resident fans were saying he'll start for Brighton after he scored in their preseason and we're taking digs at Arteta.

Now same Brighton didn't even see him as a squad player in their team. It's so sad

Was just surprised because this is the same route Arsenal wanted him to take but he disagreed and everyone blamed not just Arteta but the whole management team(I myself inclusive). Now Brighton have just done the same with him, and someone is giving excuse that Brighton have a lot of players for his position as if Arsenal don't have other options to choose ahead of him too. If one choose to constantly see 6 as six alone forgetting that it can also be 9 from another view point, then I have no business engaging such person. After all what do I know, I'm just a stoner who loves Arsenal more than any individual in the team.

mostob:
Be like you dey follow that Omotolani guy on FB?

no I don't follow the guy, I saw the news in one arsenal blog like dat. But just like you, someone mentioned the Omotolani guy in the comments, so I'm guessing he's the real owner of the post. What's his handle on fb let me check him out?.

What a shame, Duberry can’t even make Brighton’s bench yesterday, and now he's been linked to a loan move to Championship sides. Another one that left and is now back on the exact path he could’ve had at Arsenal

Jodera:
If Arsenal wins today, Saliba will be the fastest player to reach 50wins in less matches

Rolls Royce for a reason.

Meanwhile, Guys are ready for gun down Wolves

And who's that Odegaard with Sage beards??

Man be growing beards to claim his Goat status this season.

You dey see vision?

Jodera:
2022/23.... We dropped 5 points first half of season.

2023/24... We dropped 5 points 2nd half of the season.

Can we drop just 5 points across the whole season this time??

You just de use half information dey hold body and give yourself hope total 2023 how many did we dropped and total 2024 how many did we drop. If we drop only 5 throughout the season, I don't think we will miss out on lifting the trophy. 5 points! A man can dream shaa.
