iamoyindamola:And you know this how? Because Regina said so? Aren't their other women in the house, why aren't they agitating? Why must it be the estranged ones? She drop one pikin, she no leave. Drop another, still no complain about drugs, while all the whole time, this man was busy lifting her entire household from poverty. Things don be, and she's now playing the victim card for you all to digest. Only God knows how much she must have stolen before calling off this game. |
Garnacho has 5G/A in his last 4 games What will the haters say now? |
Press Conference ahead of Wolves clash: 🎙️Enzo Maresca on whether he liked rotation as a player: "I loved rotation as a player." 😅 Little wonder! |
Realtord43:As much as I hate to say it, I feel he's even trying to manage these lads fitnesses after the extra season we had last season. Not enough excuse anyway. Someone like Josh who's on something serious should be getting game time given he's fully fit. If there was anyone to sit out the Qarabag tie, it had to be Cucurella. Not Josh. |
teeshet:Tosin takes the blame. He was very clumsy while on his man. If he had applied a little pressure on the forward, he will shrug or dispossess him off the ball, but he was busy ball watching, giving his man enough time to linkup play with the goal scorer. It would have been quite suicidal for Chalobah to charge at that point seeing that he was trying to keep a defensive line. |
StarchAndBanga:Imagine hating on mates for backing Jackson while rating Tosin as Thiago's replacement. Elekahia punditry ![]() |
airmark:This is the football neophyte many ninjas are reading and subscribing to his hot air ![]() |

Any team that can press properly and get back in shape quickly will definitely beat this Maresca's led side. Sunderland showed us all how it's done weeks ago. We can only beat teams that don't fall back into defending quickly and do not defend deep. In games where we manage to score one, it's a huge demand on the midfield and defense to protect that lead. That's proper game management. You don't have to be useless to concede and start chasing the game again, this is not FM for phuck sake. We saw this against Sunderland, Wolves and Qarabag just last night. Most of our CB options has the dexterity of aircraft carriers, press them and sit to enjoy a horror show. Just take a look at Tosin, Fofana, Chalobah, Badashiale and now my favoured Hato. Veiga is even far better than these chickens. Many thought Arteta was being silly when he went on a shopping spree of defenders. His second CB options Mosquera and Hincapie shits on everything we have in our squad rn and that's not even up for debates. To even make matters worse, the tinkerman we have as a manager can't just relax and get a steady CB partnership. Who rotates CBs in football? Two fools who have established a good understanding can be managed at the back than two confused good players. This man just dey overdo pass Pep wey even teach am the job. |
fredoooooo:Victor will stop us from leaking in goals every game day? He scored a hatty while his team conceded how many? Victor will score two and the weyrey dem wey full our back will throw away the lead with horrendous defending. Shey na Victor will stop Tosin the scam from constantly passing the ball to his defensive partners who are in disadvantageous positions every now and then? Weren't we three goals ahead against Wolves of all teams barely weeks ago before scrambling for a win in the dying minutes of the game? We can't announce as ourselves as a threat in England or even Europe with our defensive base, it's a joke, if you like go and sign prime Ronaldo de Lima. It's simply counterproductive to work hard to find the back of the net only to give the ball away in your own area. We were conceding an average over 1.5 goals per game last season. How do you challenge with such stat? When some of us clamoured for defensive reinforcements last season, some football neophytes came with the delusional theory that the only way to win is to keep outscoring your opponent. Such a delusional idea that you'll expect from a 16-year-old football manager. So what significant difference will Victor's signing make? The delusional theorists who said Jackson was the reason we weren't winning games have JP and Delap in the team now, so why still complaining after booting the lad out? I'm sure Victor will arrive and same delusional cross section of fans will start demanding for Kylian Mbappe. Arsenal had Merino who's naturally a midfielder spearheading their attack against Slavia on Tuesday in the absence of three of their strikers, they scored three and conceded no goal. The earlier you all understood a solid midfield base and an astute defensive line are the primary areas of concern in a team the better for you lot. I mentioned last season that an attack that can average 1.5 goals per game is good enough to win your titles given you have a solid defensive and midfield base - Arteta is living this dream. It's only a delusional fantasist who has no ground knowledge of the game will ask his team to keep scoring without setting up a firm foundation for those attacking outlets to thrive upon. You'll end up scoring two and conceding three - clowns. |
MorataFC:That dude can wreck his CB partner of his confidence. He has poor awareness, sluggish and lacks confidence. |
What was that solo goal by VDV last night? That was magnificent! |
Defence wins you titles. A look at Arsenal and the good positions they've found themselves in the league and Europe so far, will only help you understand the above claim better. One goal conceded from open play and three in total in 10 PL games. While they're yet to concede in the Champions League. A goal or two is enough to get the job done and have the shop locked. They don't need to chase the game, trying to outscore you as some dumb attacking football proponents here will make their dumber followers believe. It's an assassin-ish. They don't even need a 30-goals a season CF to run you down, the system is designed to produce any scorer at anytime. It's always pragmatism over fantasism.

Ibime:In local parlance, it's said to be "buy one get two free". She only invested 50k with the hopes to harvest three folds of her investment later on. |
Comot Pedro for FPL, him remember how to score. |
Arizoner:No follow that chairman argue, his dealer dey supply better loud. His arguments are not of this world and doesn’t die natural deaths. |
Watch them cart away more billions in the name of security reinforcements of the NASS. Petty thieves. |
Ibime:That brutal lion fit be mascot ![]() |
raumdeuter:Omo eh this period hasn’t been just good for man off here. My focus on the game has been shattered beyond repair due to the loss of my old man. I’m hardly following some of my players or even recalling to set up my team before GW deadline. |
timbros:Mumu football philosophy. Sort of crap you can expect from a soccer video game manager. |
Arsenal can go on to protect their lead and win. Champions stuff. But one JJC wants you to concede normally and try to outscore. JJC |
nateevs:I gave up a long time ago ![]() |
BlewMahn:Have never trusted him while fit, would be suicidal watching him play while unfit. I can’t possibly be a masochist. |
Enzo, Caicedo and Neto didn’t train with the team and are serious doubts for the Forest game. James and Santos it is then in midfield. |
The CAF playoffs is the real hurdle. I will fancy our chances against teams like Bolivia, New Caledonia or those AFC teams. |
