Today in pre-match interview
Arteta was asked about the criticism he's getting concerning his change in tactics his reasons weren't tangible jare

But I am glad he got the message and also if he fvck up fans are waiting for him, internet is such a powerful tool

Arteta just go beat around the bush

Anyways, I just hope our season starts proper against Man u. Him needs to change back to default Asap

Lush100:
.

Prime sanchez and Koz the Boss .
Giroud for low block teams (did this many times and salvaged draws for us). He is not a good player to start especially open games

Exactly...
Especially what we needed this season was a Giroud-esq type of signing for an option 2 pattern when we needed to go route 1.

daveP:
Last UCL team for Arsenal.


Who do you think will walk in to this current Arsenal team without 2nd thoughts? And vice versa too?


Glad we back. Only Arsenal can hinder Arsenal.

Sanchez for Martinelli

Walcott as Saka competitor/deputy.(from the bench)

Giroud as a good option off the bench and Plan B.

Koscienly as Saliba competitor/deputy

If to say we get this 4 profile of players presently, Allah, league and trophies go sure us!!

Omorr...
Na our mate full our group oo(aside lens sha)

If your pattern work well for u.. all teams will look foolish.

Liverpool and Chelsea doesn't need arsenal and Man city pattern to work for them to look foolish last season. They were off form because they were off form.

typicalgamer:
Going back to watch that Leicester Stan highlights
Today they’ll be struggling like Everton 😂

Just long balls to carry or pray on marhez magic nothing more 😂

Lol.. that team was average till like beginning of Oct if I'm not mistaken.
Imagine hitting top gear by beginning of Oct and it was enough to win you the league

Mehn, If last season Newcastle and Aston Villa was that year, they'll be fellow contenders too.

We finished second, but I was certain we'll struggle for top4 the next season. And we certainly didn't

iamoyindamola:
Good luck 🤣🤣🤣
Me way dan japa since

Lol... I go soon japa. Him don dey change the scope of the matter

iamoyindamola:
I know but I was in agenda mood that day

Englishisamust:
Which wack arsenal, Leicester leading dem with 10 points ?? Check the table. If no be arsenal wey mumu you think say man city suppose collect league last season.... . League they won by pure luck!!! Man city of last season won't stop Leicester from collecting league in 2015/16. Argue with your keyboard!!! .

Oga, Leicester with 81points would topple Man City?

Many teams were foolish that season Leicester won it. Imagine Arsenal that finished 2nd lost 7 and drew 11. Do you know how dropped points was that?

No deh overhype that Leicester side abeg!!

Spy360:
You still didn't get it. I guess you probably didn't complete reading my post before being pushed be the urge to reply it.

If you did, you will understand that I have never said Haaland is more deserving or Saka is more deserving. I said both are deserving and that if the awards were swapped, the reaction would not be too different from what ii is now.

I gave my reasons that Haaland won the league with his contributions and Saka finished second but carried more responsibilities between their respective clubs.

When I said impacted games off course its not all the games. When I say singlehandedly I mean that there were more games Arsenal had to depend on Saka to win than there are games City had to depend on Haaland to win.

Let's put it this way, if Arsenal were looking for a win our hope would be on Saka. If City were looking for a win, they won't look up to Haaland the way Arsenal looks up to Saka. In fact they would look up to KDB or Gundogan or Silva first before Haaland comes into their picture. Haaland was basically an end point material, not the main one. Haaland is like the last man that completes the relay after others have helped built the lead. Yes he is important but not as important as Saka is to Arsenal that came second. You only need to look at all the finals City played in last season to know this including their Community Shield against us In which he was almost nonexistent.

Arsenal depend more on Saka than City depends on Haaland and City won the league while Arsenal came second. Hence, Haaland takes the main award while Saka takes the other one. What's hard to accept here?

You're just turning Amala cos all these talk does not in anyway makes it a criteria for PFA award.

We're talking about who was exceptional overall last season and you're talking about which team depends on who more. Which Kain yarning be this?


Another thing is that Saka is not singlehandedly carrying arsenal cos Arsenal of last season was not a one man team.


You can keep on twisting and turning when the fact is obvious, na you sabi.

Mumu gate still calling maguire have to be the stupidest thing to do
Eddy is on too but white will never get called as long as mumugate is there
I was expecting Watkins too

Shebi I tell you say White get Issues with Southgate.

Even small pikin colwill don dey see shirt over am

iamoyindamola:
Nah arteta too they fear he will switch back to default from scummies game
Him and edu are always conscious of fans wrath, if you remember the bad run days when he was about to be sacked
Immediately he started saka, ESR etc to beat Chelsea and since then he didn't look back
Maybe he has forgotten who he's that fans like am but if he fvck up he go collect
Even almighty wengay they collect

True talk

iamoyindamola:
I want xavi to repeat that statement he made in preseason
No be mouth we suppose flog them home and away
Anyday anytime

I wanted Bayern before but since xavi made that comment have been hoping we meet again

Lol... I'm not even confident of meeting any of these big teams again since Arteta is just doing anyhow with our formation.

Maybe when he reverts back to normal before I would want to meet Bayern or Barca

FBS:
My chairman. I rather we close this topic cause my whole point was just that. (See highlighted)

Seriously, I had to check the topic of this thread again...

Ref, calls, var...na today?

You just intentionally missed the point that there's nothing Var can do.

But it's alright chief

iamoyindamola:
Na why I no they look him face

Btw I want Barca in the draw this evening

Lol... Why Barca?

mostob:
“I like so much the centre-back, Reuell. The quality he has, he’s aggressive.

I swear to god, once he pushed Gabriel Jesus shoulder to shoulder, it’s not easy to push Gabi, yeah. He was confident on the ball after. He kept the ball well. Wow, he impressed me the most.”

-Oleksandr Zinchenko on Reull Walters



Make this guy shut up. Arteta no fit sign a replacement for Timber again if he sees this post.

Why should we sign Timber replacement.

It seems this our academy na for fancy

iamoyindamola:
You like shalaye
Just simply put it if you remove haaland g/a last season
City will finish around 15 in the league
Remove saka g/a arsenal will finish in conference league position
Remember we have 4 players with double figures in goals
Spy just like nonsense argument 😅😅

And him go just do am with bold face

FBS:
You lost me there.

Ref didn't blow so we wouldn't know whether it's a foul or not.

What invalidated that is that Saka didn't score through that process as Fulham were in possession of the ball for over 5 sec(I didn't say 5 sec is the standard o).

Since Fulham held onto the ball that long, then they're created another sequence of play. That's the point

Spy360:
You used words that mean you did not understand my post. You will not understand because you are defensively subjective and not objective. I have bolded the words.

I repeat, Haaland deserved the award but if it has gone to Saka, he too would deserve it.

That's my point and I gave my reason. Which is that Saka was more effective singlehandedly for Arsenal in impacting games than Haaland was singlehandedly impacting games for City.

The argument should be based on the paragraph above and not making mere subjective opinions which anyone can do.

If you say that Haaland was more impactful than Saka in their respective clubs then PROVE IT.

And I said that first bolded is a lie.

How would you say Saka was singlehandedly impacting games for arsenal.

Was it not still here that guys claimed that it was because of Saliba's injury that we started faltering?

Saka was very very important and impactful for Arsenal last season, Same way Odegaard was important and impactful, same way Saliba was important and impactful.
And these are our top three players

No dey use because of sentiments claim that Saka was singlehandedly impacting arsenal's game.

And as for the 2nd bolded?
What is there to prove that it's not clear for everyone to see.

But I'll just prove it to you to just clear your doubt

1. He won all the Awards for Man City above all the players you felt impacted more than him(Best player, young best player) in constrast, Saka didn't even win Arsenal's best player sef cos that went to Odegaard.

2.. He was Man City highest goalscorer with 36 goals. The 2nd person following him is Foden with 11goals. Give Foden three times that goals and he'll still be short of Haaland but Yeah Haaland wasn't that impactful to Man City.
And oh, lest I forget, Saka is not even arsenal's highest goalscorer.

3. Let's go to assist too. Haaland is top 3 highest assist maker in Man City as a striker (behind Debruyne and Mahrez). To put it more clearly, Mahrez was ahead of Haaland with JUST 2 assists (10 to 8 respectively). But yeah he wasn't impactful to their cause. The Bernardo, Foden, Gundogan and all that were impactful didn't top less-impactful Haaland in any metric and much more this metric oo
For Arsenal it was Saka.


4. The Oga pata pata of them all is that Haaland used all these Metric to win League which Saka unfortunately didn't. Yet you felt it was Bernardo 9g/a, Gundogan 12g/a that was more Impactful than someone's 48g/a. Add both of their g/a together and multiply it by two and it won't still reach Haaland's g/a.



But yeah Spy is Objective while Jod.era is Subjective.

I didn't know that being objective is the new sentiment

FBS:
How oga?

a ball was passed to Saka, in the process of challenging for the ball, he allegedly fouled Bassey(at least according to you)

Now here's the interesting part.

Saka didn't get the ball instead the GK did and he played it to his Fulham players for quick play (this itself has made that play another sequence since Saka didn't score directly from arsenal's attack)

It even got more interesting that these Fulham players saw Bassey down but decided not to play the ball out of play so that Bassey can be attended to. Instead, they passed the ball amongst themselves TWICE.
I mean, they had the opportunity of standing up for their fellow man by playing that ball out and it would have been fair but they decided otherwise.

Arsenal pressed them, won the ball and used the ensuing attack to score.

So what did arsenal do wrong here that you're calling Var??

iamoyindamola:
Thank you oo
I no just understand the guy

Na sentiments do Spy for this one

The thing is that if you Spy360 was a man city fan or a neutral fan, you wouldn't be saying what you're saying.

Someone that have 42g/a in the league that his team won as a young player is less impactful than his contemporary who made 26g/a?

Make it make sense

Spy360:
You are confusing yourself because you already wanted to argue without understanding the posts.

1. Both Saka and Haaland were nominated for both POTY and youngPOTY awards.

2. Haaland took the POTY while Saka took the yPOTY. Why?

3. Had Arsenal won the league, Saka would have gotten the POTY and Haaland yPOTY.

4. If Saka has won the POTY, nobody will argue, same as Haaland winning the award.

5. While Haaland was good in scoring goals, Saka was good in impacting games.

6. Saka was more critical to Arsenal's success than Haaland to Man City. The fact is that looking at Man City last season, there were players that impacted their game more than Haaland- KDB, Gundogan and Silva. Without these three, Haaland is just another Harry Kane. That's not taking away the fact that Haaland is a brilliant goal scorer and deserves the award.

Those two are big lies.

Abeg, Saka na our boy, no just do this.

We're all happy that Saka won the Ypoty but abeg don't make it seem as if he truly deserved it over Haaland.

If it was the season Foden won it(last two seasons), your point would have been valid cos Saka was way more impactful over Foden.

But last season, Lai lai, Haaland was certainly the better player over the two and it's not even close

E be like say Everybody get him own agenda this morning

Issorait!!!

Spy360:
Saka is a better talented player than Haaland. Haaland won it because City won the PL. It's a kind of divided award between him and Saka.

Lmaoooo....

Abeg, make we just congratulate our boy leave am like that

Roland17:
I am so happy for Chuba, the man has had a tough and long road but it seems like it is clicking for him now. Big credit to him for being relentless in the pursuit of his career. I hope he continues to grow now that he has joined Ajax, who I believe are a good fit for him.

As long as you are putting in the work, never give up on your dreams and aspirations.

Word!!!!!!! 100%

iamoyindamola:
Another of our own with PFA player of the year championship
He's now in Ajax

Omorr, Chuba Akpom!!

The Balogun before the Balogun.

If you know, you know

iamoyindamola:
Haaland with the big one I guess
Meanwhile the men are around

Nobody go drag daddy award with daddy na
It was inevitable for Haaland. I was even surprised Our boy won Young PFA sef seeing that Haaland was also named in the category.


Meanwhile, our Men looking dapper!!

Saka for just dey middle with him "no bow tie" suit

iamoyindamola:
Bukayo Omo oloogo is PFA young player

It's been long time coming.

Omorr, he really deserves it. I'm so so happy for him

Itsrm:
That's the only positions where he's manageable.

Emphasis on manageable. Nothing spectacular

Gbamsolutely!!

mostob:
That is right bro. It is a simple fact.

Lol Football fans sef... Hossanah today, nail him tomorrow. E sure me say some of them booed Vieira when he was about to come in.

You can't blame fans, after all dem dey pay to see correct football and players. And one thing I love about our fans Is that once you've made in standing, you'll hardly get booed. Moreover, I don't think Viera don enter black book for him to get booed.

For Havertz to receive booing, make you know how frustrating he is/was. Even Mustafi no even receive booing sef

Itsrm:
Reading that from him felt like Deja vu. I have seen it over and over

I genuinely wanted the guy to succeed. I thought he turned a corner when Tuchel took over and he scored against City in the UCL. I thought that was the catalyst he needed. I wanted him to build on that momentum. By the end of last season, I just had to admit (like mostob will eventually agree) that the guy does not just have it in him.

If it makes you guys feel any better, between Mount and Harvetz, you guys got the better player

Na people for here wey no follow Havertz well well for Chelsea colours go dey give this excuse for am.

I still insist as I'm always insisting, the best place to play Havertz in this team that won't mightily affect us is CF. He can do all his off the ball and darting runs there, na im sabi
