Hojlund winning Feb pl of the month over Saka just tells us that just saying Saka will win it without actually voting for him will not automatically make him a winner of what he's more deserving of.

Man U fans really took Hojlund voting serious and he came out tops. Congratulations to him grin grin
True, both of them were outstanding, though I will argue that Saka had more impact than Hojlund. I have never voted for once regarding that, can you leave the link for next time.

In as much as I appreciate Arteta and his work in Arsenal, last season he messed it up after the injury of Saliba and Party. But that doesn't take away the fact that he's a fantastic manager, I don't think Arsenal will even consider sacking him even if we don't get a trophy this season, everyone is behind him and believes in him. When I see some fans shout Arteta Out I don't bother engaging them because I know even the Arsenal board won't entertain that idea. We really need Dem trophies to make everything beautiful, but even if it doesn't come this season, Arteta is still going no where, matter of fact his contract will still be extended instead of being tarminated .

There's also a big reason Haaland never had a shot on goal against us in the last two meetings (EPL and community shield. Shocking right?). Gabriel and Saliba (esp) knows that he's a traditional 9 and he can't be fluid to drag them out of position for someone to take space. Moreover, he can't bully dem as him deh do others cos they're both strong and very fast with great intelligence. It's no coincidence most top coaches opts for fluid 9

I wanted to bring this up, you beat me to it. Even if we buy any "traditional 9", we will still watch Arteta convert him to another Gabriel Jesus.

"The success of last season was the amount of players who scored more than 10 goals and we are going to have to do that again. We used moments of the game we knew could exploit really, really well. The subs did really well and had a big impact. Everyone was really focused."
Arteta on team play and goals.

Still hoping for a striker this January anyone...?

Lmaooo..
I will always wan.k on that your commitment to livescores.


Only a livescore arsenal fan will claim that Xhaka with 8 PL goals over two seasons is a fans favourite because of goals been added to his game..

No wonder you say Giroud and Rvp dey on par. If you can't even remember Xhaka of ystdy, how will you know about Rvp of decades ago? cheesy
For me, I don't think it's needful to engage him anymore, cus he knows exactly what he's doing

And that's all a bonus, tbh.

It's like saying Odegaard chases down balls and scores 15 goals. That's a bonus.
His main job, there are lots of question marks.
I choose not to have a say in your whole odegaard matter because your theory doesn't intrigue me at all. So let's leave him out of this.
The bonuses which you acknowledged that timber brings, will it improve the level of team play or not?.

Hausa:
I think we forget so soon that Timber is a defender.
In this team, we don't create enough goal scoring chances and dont score enough goals.
Let's forget about Timber for a moment and focus on the attackers (Saka, Mart, Jesus), and then the Feeders, i.e. the people who are supposed to service them (Odegaard, Rice). The attack is weak, the feed or service is also weak.

I remember our loss against Newcastle. People were angry that we got robbed. I was angry that we didn't do anything to hurt them in terms of chance creation.
Timber will only help to make the defense STEEL.
There's no one we have to make the attack elite. For even though it appears we have them, it is a case of elite today, and then leave u confused tomorrow.
If at all you've seen Timber play, you will know how good his addition will be to the whole right hand side of the team. It's not only about the defense, he's progressive and creative too.

grin grin grin grin

Hleb, Nasri and Song grow but Saka ,Martinelli and Odegaard no grow grin

Just dey play!

Just say u don't like young players doing great for the club under a young manager and we will all understand. Except u know more than English national team, Brazil national team, Norwegian national team, the EPL and everybody within and outside the club that has appreciated the talent and professionalism of those young boys doing exploit not only at club level but at national team level.
He even made reference to Rodrigo growing but Saka and Martinelli ain't. Na him understand the type of growth and development he wants to see to believe. Martinelli Haven't been up with goals compared to last season, but how he plays have changed, but I think being always isolated on that wing is affecting his game(and his village people dey enter him head steady to Bleep up on final decision), last season xhaka was always with him, but now Havertz plays his own game. And I don't think anyone can say Saka Haven't been prolific this season.

If utd can get a draw from Liverpool, then there's nothing you can tell me if we don't come back with 3 points next weekend.

For that second goal, both Trossard and Havertz were brilliant with the way they drag Brighton players off to create space. Beautiful goal.

Odumodu be making me smile each match, big ups to Teta for helping Havertz get his confidence back.

People here are whining over the Ramsdale issue like they only read English press and don't reason for themselves.

How on earth will you blame Arteta for Ramsdale's poor mentality? As a player, you are built for competition both within the club and outside against other clubs. So if you fickle out because of small competition then you shouldn't be in sports. You should be a nanny.

We are too emotional as fk. If these were English people I would understand but how do Naija niggers carry matter wey no concern them for head?

At the end of all these rubbish complains, where is Arteta and Arsenal on the league table?

Mtchew!!!
I just be reading some emotional comment and be shaking my head. You want result this method is giving you result and you're complaining. Makes me wonder if they even listen to or read about what ex players have to say about pep and jose. Na English medie cause all these shaa.

I am not saying he is better than Odegaard, I am saying he should be given his accolades.

Besides, players can play the same role but in different ways. Jorginho for example plays the DM but does so differently from Partey. Havertz plays off the ball and is very effective at it which makes all the managers he has played under to live him. Arteta saw his performance at Chelsea and was still willing to pay 65m and 300k weekly for him. That speaks volumes.
this guy!!! grin grin
