You see why I was not all out on Luiz and Mistaffi under Emery. Not like they were the best defenders out there but because they were easily scapegoated. We were playing a lethargic midfield of Guen, Xhaka and Willock as AM under Emery that season. The defense gets pummeled from kickoff to final whistle and you expect them not to leak in goals and make errors under intense pressure every minute of the match.

We are seeing it happen to Liverpool where’s VVD to save the day? The one they claim is the best thing to happen to Liverpool.

Mustafi have always being maligned even when we have a Midfielder of cazorla Ozil Ramsey and Xhaka (under Wenger). Fans didn't start insulting him under Emery 2nd season so his own is not due to Xhaka and Guen.

David Luiz have a reputation for mistakes even before his time at arsenal, so his own is acceptable.

It was only during Emery 2nd season we were receiving goals left right and center and it was even till november sef(where he was sacked). When Arteta took over, it subsided.

It's the reason why I Will never ever place Gabriel and Mustafi in the same bracket. Mustafi was a pure eyesore before Emery

kokaneprodigy:
He was running he never “ clearly attempt to play the ball”

He was running away from the ball?
Come on na!!

The distance he started his race and the time just in which he decided NOT TO play the ball is over 5meters in distance covered if I'm not wrong.

Tell me how someone who's chasing a ball for up to 5metres and defenders are charging at him is deemed as "not attempting to play the ball"?

No be so ball come meet am sef and he stood.
He blatantly CHASED THAT BALL in a dangerous zone. That itself is clearly an attempt. Whether he played it or not is another thing entirely

kokaneprodigy:
I’ve also attached the rules
Read it again with an open mind

the rule that was infringed was

*Clearly attempting to play the ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent

It's clear this is what Rashford did. It was only at the last minute he decides NOT to play the ball. By then HIS ACTIONS have already impacted on Man city's defence who were so focused on him and

Even the next rule after this particular rule was even defaulted too

I no be leeches fan o. Fully blooded united fan

Lol.. my bad!!

Ray07:
Chelsea run una street as Liverpool do us.
It might be a blessing in disguise Sha.

Did you watch the rubbish Gakpo and co played today . . . ?
Money really miss road.

Gakpo,miss Nunez and Antony them the shame me.

This your bolded ehh

But it's too early to judge Gakpo sha. I think this is his 2nd match.

Moreover I won't blame Gakpo yet especially in today's match. You guys midfield is dead and the sooner Klopp fixes it (either within or transfer market) the better for you guys.

I watched you guys play today and I'm like "where's the midfield"??

mostob:
we go bully them.
Dem dey roast Edu on Twitter. walahi, I feel for the guy.

Lol... We can't bully Brighton oo. In fact, no EPL team can be bullied. Na main reason why Rice still dey West Ham till now
I pity Edu too sha. He was so damn sure that Mudryk is coming. Even Arteta in his press conference gave hint that Mudryk might be coming afterall. It's just so unfortunate Chelsea came at the last minute and gave a no -refusal offer.

Anyways, I just hope something great comes out. We lost Vlahovic but came out with G.jesus

johnjunior39:
To add to that, He is a left winger though, ESR/Martenelii too.

But about Chelsea , I really don't understand why paying what you already have lol

He can play both wings effectively and he's very good with both feet. These are the key two reasons why arsenal are very intent on bringing him.

ESR/Martinelli/Mudryk , then Saka/Mudryk.

For Chelsea, na just desperation dey catch dem. Felix 3 match ban was what really made dem came back for Mudryk

Havertz10:
Indeed, I have been calling him a pace merchant all day

You lot have been coming here to stunt all season, watching y’all have a meltdown is fun

Made my evening, I have laughed so much, it hurts

Lol.... That's to tell you how far arsenal have come. It means we're no longer the chief of "butt jokes" again

If this is the "meltdown" that you feel is giving you joy, then I'm honoured

andrewbaba44:
He Dey fear

E be like say harvetz days for Chelsea Dey numbered

Lol... Fear don dey hol' am small small

Him don see worthy competitor

Havertz10:
Where has the energy gone? Did someone die?

ontop player wey both of us go for?

See as you dey hyperventilate because of new signing

donstan18:
Chai!


“Of course, I still think he is”

Lol...
You're expecting me to blast him.

You know say I no dey like you na

donstan18:
Jodera, do you think Mudryk is a quality player?

Of course, I still think he is.

Presently, I just hope I'm wrong now

mostob:
60M sef too much for the guy. On top wetin abeg?

You sef see am na.
That's to tell you the quality arsenal sees

mostob:
Make we dey watch. Scenes where we drop 40M for Mitoma

Lol... Ontop Brighton?

Like you don't know Brighton?

[quote author=Havertz10 post=120034765][/quote]Na so

iamoyindamola:
What's stopping us from making the crazy bid too

Lol... We already did.
90m for a supposed second choice is crazy enough. But unfortunately where one madness stop na there another one start.

mostob:
Arteta has already said Elneny is Partey's backup so we may not sign any DM this January. Maybe by Summer sha

it's obvious na.

The only reason we went all out for Danilo and Douglas Luiz during deadline day was because of Elneny long term injury (projected 3 months then)

Now that both Elneny and Partey are fit, I didn't expect us to go for any DM, knowing who our club is. Whether it's a wise choice is another matter entirely

iamoyindamola:
You not getting it anything more than 50m sef is over priced

I know... That's to tell you how serious we were for him. We were very serious that we brought up to 90m for him. So it's not as if we were joking. It means we identified our target and are going all out for him. Only a crazy bid made us lose him and not because we're not serious or we delayed. At least not in this January

iamoyindamola:
Look at jesus deal too we already agreed personal terms even before last season end only for us to spend like 2months to conclude the deal, Chelsea also came in but jesus chose us

Na mumu these guys be jare

Lol..

iamoyindamola:
Chelsea didn't do anything wrong
Arsenal is the fool here until we start getting ruthless with transfer we won't get anywhere
We should know when clubs want to do deal with us or not
Immediately shaktar started using Anthony as comparison we should call off the deal and look elsewhere

I didn't say they (Chelsea) did any wrong, at least they're acting in their own best interest. Just that their interest affected us making them the Villian.

The deal was already concluded with us when we placed our 3rd bid and it's just the structure that remains which isn't a problem Until Chelsea came with an insane bid. So let us don't make it as if arsenal was chasing shadows

I don't see anything wrong Arsenal did. It's not as if 90% of us didn't believe Mudryk will be an arsenal player by next week.

Parizz:
jo.dera, jo.dera2

Na their luck

mostob:
Na friendly match against Basel. He came on in the second half and bagged a hattrick.
I'm happy for him sha.

Oh... Na even friendly??

Glad he's back but Na friendly hat trick Iamoyind.amola dey give me alert for?

Na wa ooo

I don't blame arsenal for missing out on Mudryk. I mean, we're made an enormous bid and it was just very close to secure his deal.

I don't blame Mudryk at all for finally choosing Chelsea. Las las it's his career and pressure was already created on him which influenced his decision.

I don't blame Shaktar also. I mean, it's their interest they'll think of(highest bidder)

If there's any Villain here, it's Chelsea.

Sad we missed such a talent but anyways, we move!!!

Ellexy:
No matter how you look at it you can't compare a coach with almost his first team injured and another with everyone fit yet playing nonsense. Chelsea weren't even that bad yesterday, they outplayed Fulham. It was stupid individual errors that cost them the game and there's nothing Potter couldvve done about it.

I'll even say Chelsea would have won if not for Félix channelling his inner Atletico. I won't judge Potter yet till he gets the whole team back.

I'm not talking about only ystdy game but this season as a whole generally, Chelsea play have been so so bad. If Chelsea played the way they played against Man city (league) and Ystdy, they would never have been in 10th position. So it means they have the players to actually do well especially against midtable teams. It's not as if all the first 11 had injury at once

Well, it's subject tho. The Man u I watched last season and the Chelsea this season are distance apart. No clutch player, no system... No nothing!!

iamoyindamola:
Normal stuff when you turn amala finish let me know

Lol... Talk wetin dey your mind na.

You say weda I see Haller and I say no!

iamoyindamola:

OkpaNsukkaisBae:

Hopefully, they'll play out a draw
