Jesus got the same chance and he sent it wide. For him to even score that goal with his weaker foot was impressive.

Lol, yeah. His own was even easier than Saka own
His execution was just poor

Signing out!!

Peace

Meanwhile, Rival fans are still waiting for that "elephant on top of the tree" to fall down since 2nd week of August like.....

This team have always impressed me with their mentality, doggedness and desire. Their togetherness is something not spoken about enough and the process I've been yearning for, for arsenal to become that dream I've been hoping every year to become don dey cook

My Warriors!!

Arteta is the first arsenal's manager in history to win 9 EPL games as at matchday 10. No other arsenal manager in history have done it.

My manager!!

iamoyindamola:
He will catch that PK if it didn't go over

I swear. Ramsdale follow that PK with all his might. Thank goodness it even went wide sha, cos my mind don already dey my head when bamford wan play that PK

Special Appreciation to Saka ystdy for giving us that sought after 3points.

The use of his weaker foot and how accurate it's becoming is the main reason why he's getting more dangerous and unpredictable against most full backs. The lone goal ystdy is a goal all right footer would be proud of.

Gracias boss!!

Appreciation to Ramsdale for a Job well done ystdy.

Simply Reliable hands and defender's confidence

Kepa and De Gea fighting for World Cup involvement.

DDG has improved his ball-playing and sweeping skills.I was getting impressed until I remember that he's looking for a contract extension (which means upgrading his 375k/week pay). I hope we won't fall for this scam, he should be sold ASAP.

Youngzero2:
Yea, but the ref blew before the player passed to the keeper.
I think it was a case of Ronaldo playing to the whistle.These rules just dey confuse person

Nah, Schar passed the ball during when the ref whistled. It was at almost same time both event(both kicking and whistling) happened. So it was normal that it was the GK that ought to take the fk. Whether Schar used his leg at that instant is immaterial cos he could have easily used his hands too and it wouldn't have been a foul cos the play wasn't ON

Expert17:
I'm not sure if they have updated this rule BUT what I know is that penalty is the only set piece that requires a referee whistle.

You can take a quick free kick without the whistle all you need is the referee's permission either verbally or with his hands.

True tho, but that ball was passed with the intention of the goalkeeper taking the fk. Schar would have easily passed it with his hands and it wouldn't have been a foul on Schar and Ronaldo wouldn't have done anything. The issue is arising because he chose to give the ball to the GK with legs for him to take the fk. So yeah, I think the refs made the right call. It would have been different if the GK touched or shifted the ball after the ref have blown

Youngzero2:
Abeg,who knows why the ref cancelled Ronaldo's goal yesterday.
The ref blew his whistle and the goal keeper played his spot kick before Ronaldo nipped in.
Wasn't it similar to the one nani scored against tottheham some years back?

The goalkeeper didn't touch the ball when the ball was passed to him. That was never a goal, plus the intention was that the it was the goalkeeper that will play the ball.


I would like to ask, when is a freekick supposed to be played? Is it Before, during or after the whistle have been blown?

donstan18:
If I ask you to point out where I called him a tactical genius or where I said he’s better than Tuchel, you no go point am out.

Always jumping on matters wey you know nothing about...

Did I claimed you said this? Or where did that my quote imply this?

BlueAngel444:
lol you want him to win a major trophy with Brighton, do u guys read what u post?

Which one is new manager bounce, u never see new manager flop abi na wetin

Is it so hard to commend someone who is doing well


If Chelsea hadn't gotten these results some would blame the players or say give Potter time. Maybe Potter's Chelsea's system is yet to be figured out, maybe players are yet to get injured but does Potter look like a manager with a career to complain over losing players, D dude would just pick the next best profile to fit the role

Wetin stop am from winning trophies with Brighton or will he be the first manager to win trophy with a small club. You guys can rate Potter above Tuchel but when e reach achievements, na that time Una go know say him come from small club called Brighton.

Nobody says you shouldn't commend Potter, but trashing Tuchel like say him never do any better thing here na another thing entirely. I mean, can't you guys just rate Potter without bringing Tuchel down?

donstan18:
Tuchel had a good run when he was newly appointed..... He’s a genius.

Potter having a good run after newly appointed.... Na new manager bounce.

Nobody called Tuchel a genius until he won the UCL and super cup while outplaying his opponent.

Potter is having a new manager bounce and it's a fact. How many league games have he even played for him to be called a tactical genius. Has he even won any trophy sef in any major league?

donstan18:
When?

You said he doesn't have any European relevance before Chelsea? So I ask, didn't he win trophy with Dortmund?

Leyqute:
You don forget all the beating wey you chop for their hand in the league?

Lol...
Beatings varies.
Arteta collecting 5 on a steady was what I wanted to point out that it's not true. Na only Arsene and Emery collect that scoreline From klopp/Liverpool

A001:
Those fans you're arguing with only Tuchel when he came to Chelsea. Don't waste your time on them.

Lol... Someone will think Potter even had an fa cup or Carabao cup to his name before heading to Chelsea

donstan18:
Try Dey name the trophy nh.

You said he doesn't win trophy aside PSG so I asked whether he won at Dortmund or not.

Nothing concern me concern the name. What you should be bothered about is whether he won a major trophy pre-psg. Did he win or not for you to claim Chelsea made him?

Ballzproblemm:
he won dfb pokal ,which many bundesliga club have been doing ,if he had won league like klopp then I will give him maximum respect as a team like Bayern hardly lose league,now he went to PSG , to carry league, something PSG have been doing time without memorial and we continue so. ,so to me it's not a big deal

since klopp left, how many Dortmund coach have lifted trophies for Dortmund?

Moreover, I thought you guys said he never won any trophies aside PSG and that you made him. Why are you now downgrading the trophies at Dortmund abi Bayern no dey compete for those ones too?

drisham:
Tuchel improved our defense

Flogged world class coaches b2b,improved mount found a suitable position for havertz

The disrespect is too much.individually our players are still crap and new managers bounce is what potter is riding on

Lol... Na new manager bounce na. Hopefully, Potter won't get disrespected here too after all the whole hyping him dey receive

Ballzproblemm:
who won't league with a team like PSG una funny o

Didn't Tuchel win trophy at Dortmund?

OhBritannia:
I just felt pity for Kounde, Stergen, dejong and Lewadoski.

They deserve a better coach and better players and not this block head called xavi and useless defense.

The first and second goals are goals you score a premature under 15 women team. No men team will concede such disgraceful goals because i don't understand how all the defenders will all be in the box and the leave a huge space for their opponent in front of their post.

Where are our defensive and holding minefielders?

We can't even track their players one on one, our defense and holding minefielders just run and follow the ball leaving or not putting their eyes on the position of their opponent.

And why is this stupid mother forking crazy imbecilic abominable xavi [/b]still playing Dembele and Raphinha out of position?

Isn't it obvious they are playing opposite of their strength?

[b]Xavi needs to die!!!!!

Only one person??

Ibunkun1:
People get selective amnesia when they want to run agenda

Like it's just surprising Tbh. It's good to hype Potter cos he doing well but to grade Potter above Tuchel like say Tuchel no do 3x wetin Potter dey do presently during Tuchel first 6 months here is just surprising. They've forgotten that it was Tuchel who made them believe they can compete for the league as it the beginning of last season when Lukaku was bought to Chelsea.

Na wa sha

drisham:
Honestly we kept 9 cleansheets in 11games,became hard to beat coz of his haram style

I'll say this I'm impressed with potter transition and flexibility

But let's see what happens in the long run

It wrong to compare him with tuchel

You guys became hard to beat was not because of any haram style. It seems most of you guys have forgotten how Tuchel played during his first 6 months enroute to winning UCL. It was only Tuchel I knew who played 3 at the back then but it doesn't look like bus parking. You guys outplayed athletico, outplayed Pep in the league, outplayed most of your opponents and was creating chances that most of you agreed that the only thing lacking was a clinical striker which was why Lukaku return was really accepted by you guys here.

I get Tuchel last months was horrible but mehn, the way you guys just forgot everything good Tuchel did here is alarming sha. Someone who made a whole Donstan swallow his L should know he did something great

iamoyindamola:
Arteta always overdo until it backfire
He still have a long way to go
Partey was floored yesterday he got dispossessed multiple times
Kudos to arteta switching to 541 but that tactics absolve pressure
I was expecting 442 so that we hit them on counter attack

Anyway yesterday os one of the many games we will face like that
Our mental strength played a big role

na from clap clap naim dance dey enter. Before we know it, Tomi go just turn Lb.

Partey was unusually hassled ystdy and easily pressed and it showed. Most of our players were not looking it but like you said, our mental strength played out which made us win.

I'm just glad that Arteta is massively learning. All his subs were very good plus the timing was right

Leyqute:
Arteta wey dey chop like 5 goals steady from Liverpool whenever they meet. Was also losing to dem Brentford and co before.

Arsenal helped him get rid of some senior players and now he’s doing good.

Bros calm down na.
Are you mistaking Wenger and Emery with Arteta?

I understand why we played Tomi Against Liverpool at left back but seeing him play left back again ystdy is something I'm not too comfortable with and it feels weird esp when a good Lb Is available. Is Tierney that bad that he's now 3rd choice Lb?. It just seems weird and I'll be wondering what might be going through his mind.

I just hope Tierney is being given the opportunity and advantage to battle it out with Zinchenko while Tomi competes with White. Tierney Is too good to be a 3rd choice Lb no matter what

My thoughts on the game

1..I'm really happy for the 3 points. To see out a game like this shows the mentality and resilience of these squad and most times luck comes to those who are prepared to take it. Arsenal before would have cracked under this intense pressure ystdy but thank goodness we scaled through and came out top.

2.. Gabriel Magalhaes almost undid all his good work ystdy with just one minute of naivety and temperament. One thing I noticed about our players this season is that we're now drifting away from that nice and honest guys we were really known for during Wenger days as we're now employing the dark arts. Hit Martinelli or Gabriel Jesus and they'll so roll on the floor clutching their legs till maybe a yellow card is dished to the opposition player. But it seems Gabriel doesn't get the memo, and the worst part Is that we were at an advantage. Instead of clutching his leg and claim being in pain so that he can tilt the ref judgement towards his favour, he foolishly stood up and fell for bamford mind games to have him booked after being mistakenly hit by Gabriel. Thank God for Var for rescuing the situation if not, arsenal might have dropped point not only because of Gabriel's unfair red card offence but his outright foolish temperament.

3... Seeing the games Ystdy, it seems the players were a bit jaded maybe due to the trip to Norway and it showed during the 2nd half as Leeds where relentless pressing us. Thank goodness we dug deep and snatched the 3 points.

4.. Saka goal ystdy means he's the first player under Arteta to record 50 goals contribution (26G 24A). Great lad he is, and the good thing about the goal was that it was with his weaker foot. Golden boy for a reason
Odegaard had a good first half ystdy but seemed to fizzle out in the 2nd half. It isn't the first time I'm noticing that anytime a game seems tough, we're under intense pressure and we're not dominating, Odegaard seems to fizzle out. Good he was rightly subbed ystdy and I just hope he improves on that.
And please can someone tell him to learn how to take good goalscoring shots fgs!! It's getting annoying seeing him in good goal-scoring place take a shot only to see it lacks power and precision.


Good games by the gunners
Ugly win
4points above
PSV next then Southampton

COYG!!!!

Youngzero2:
But why is nobody ignoring this tottheham team,they have been picking up important points silently.
For me,they are serious contenders,even for the title and the fact that they have gone about their business silently, without pressure makes it even more dangerous for the opponents.
Top four this season no go funny

I think they're a top4 worthy contender no doubt but in terms of competing with Man city, I don't see them at all. Their style of play is something that wouldn't be sustainable in the long run if they keep on playing like this. But yeah, they have enough tank and quality to get the top 4 spot

Youngzero2:
Leeds are an intense pressing team,and you guys had a midweek game where almost your first teamers played in so the difference in energy levels would play a part here.
If Leeds sticks to there high intense pressing team,it would surely cause you problems.They can cause turnovers in your build up,and potentially create good chances from it.The only problem be say I no trust their coach,he fit go decide to pack bus which will favour you guys,but if he sticks to the beilsa's philosophy,and take advantage of their fitness level,I'm sure they can nick something from this game.
As for newscastle,We always beat them.Forget their recent form,na our second wife after Chelsea be that .Besides they have a couple of their first teamers injured,I don't think they would be as threatening as they have been this season.Fingers crossed though.

Leeds are a good side no doubt but I think what could work for us is the quality of players we have over them. In terms of pressing, Leeds is not even in the top 5 pressing team this season, instead Newcastle is in top 3.

Also it's amazing how you used midweek game where just most of our first teamers played 50min or less. We even played with 2nd gear but you think it'll affect our energy levels but you guys played with ALL your first teamers and with full gear and you now want to meet a high pressing team in Newcastle but you think it won't affect you guys nor your energy levels because "Newcastle are your wife".

Issokay oo, 2pm no far again

Youngzero2:
Btw,u guys are dropping points today.
Na today una go commot for that 1st position .I Trust Leeds to do the lord's work

I believe you said this during Brentford
You said this during Tottenham
Also said it during Liverpool

Una no dey tire??

Meanwhile, you've even got harder test in Newcastle than us that's facing Leeds
