Na why I dey miss ESR. I hope he come back soon. The guy would be up on the UEL goal chart by now

I swear, me too I miss that guy.
I just hope he comes back stronger

Fkhalifa:
Hummm ....hope the Arsenal culture isn't there again...You know how everything slides down in February...is the squad big enough? Shey injuries won't scatter everything? Arterta isn't resting some of the big boys enough in Europe.

Btw, I know S.py, R.oland and J.odera would welcome � me

Lol... Except injuries affects us else I don't see how we'll slow down. If we continue like this till Jan, I don't see Feb affecting us either(except the club doesn't strengthen).

The newfound boys have been excellent and I'm loving them
E be like say your Liverpool come exchange powers with arsenal

iamoyindamola:
Very common with him
ESR or viera have better shooting power

Na ESR I trust pass for that opportunity. Odegaard needs to improve on his shooting ability sha, I even thought he had improved on it. That his Bournemouth 2nd goal is now looking like a fluke now

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Pls is there any other sport one can follow? I'll probably take a break 4rm Xaviball. My mental & emotional health can't be ruined by some dudes cashing out every week. Alternative is Argentina & City..not bad though.

on that Firmino matter @Raumdeuter

iamoyindamola:
He was very comfortable unlike the first leg

Yeah, I noticed that too.

iamoyindamola:
Mikel Arteta on Matt Turner’s improvement with distribution:

“He’s improving, he’s getting better, we are demanding things that are different to what other managers have demanded him to do. He was much better in the first half than the second half.”

Arteta: “We can have more control, he was phenomenal in goal, the way he reads the situation, especially the defending the back of the central defenders, when he needs to control the space there, the way he set himself in the one on one situation he had, was really good”

[Arsenal]


Kudos to the coaching team I noticed improvement in turner
He was calm and commanding

Thank goodness he's growing into a better number 2. At least, I'm glad now

monerozi5590:
7 players actually. Forget that guy, he is full of excuses. From one excuse to another. lemme list some of his excuses for you.
1. Messi was the problem
2. Opposing fans invading our stadium.
3. International break. 4. 7 new players need to gel and it takes time.

That excuse was ridiculous from JP same way Xavi is saying Barca doesn't deserve to be in UCL. Another ridiculous line

There's no excuse for Barca's UCL failure this season at all. No after all the quality players bought

iamoyindamola:
Oh i forgot to include there was no formation yesterday
Before the match nelson was suppose to be a fb with tierney but during the match nelson and tierney played same position on the left
Another is viera, hewas lost in the game because he doesn't know his postion
Even white was playing rb instead of rcb
Why is lonkonga own different?

There was no formation Ystdy?

What I was seeing was somehow 4231 with Sambi the deeper of the two (the his positional indiscipline showed) and Viera pivoting him. Viera playing from deep was one of the reasons he couldn't influence the game as much compared to when he played advanced while Odegaard played the Advanced Am.

The way the game panned out ystdy, I feel Arteta told them not to exert too much pressure but they should also try and get the win (2nd gear tinz). Also the pitch also played a part reason why most of our players where just not organised or cohesive. Putting Partey and Xhaka was just to tighten things up even though it was sort of a risk.

jpmoriarti:
We brought in up to 6 players in the summer alone. Don't expect us to gel so quickly. These things take time.

Don't forget that this Napoli was in Europa league last season. We even beat them with our yeye squad.

A big club like Barca need 6 good players to gel before you guys can qualify from group stage??
Like UCL group stage oo

It's not like you guys are the only team that bought 6 new players sef

DanieleLorenzo:
Barka wey PSV go commot.

Lol .. guy eazii oo

iamoyindamola:
Jod.era did you watch sambi yesterday
Arteta had to risk partey and take him off because with him we were likely to concede late goal
What other opportunity so you want arteta to give him of playing time, he was involved in handball situation that can be given by another ref

Look at viera he was absent most part of the match but he didn't put a wrong foot

Lol, you don't understand what I was trying to say that day?

If you know me, I'm one of those against Sambi playing that DM role and I fully believe his talent is wasting playing there instead of playing as one of the double 8s since he has those attributes to play the double 8(just as we wasted Xhaka early years).

My take was that presently, since Elneny who is suppose to be Partey's deputy is sidelined long term and we need to manage Partey and we didnt sign anybody as either Partey or Elneny cover, who then Is the next personnel to fill in that role presently? It's Sambi. So Sambi seeing shirt presently is no fault of his nor Arteta since he's just acting as a makeshift(since that wasn't the plan for Arteta to play him as DM heading into this season).

I'll solely blame Arteta come end of January if he doesn't sign any Partey cover and we're still forced to use Sambi there next year.

ObaIgwe1:
I think Arteta is giving this particular Europa some priority. And i think it's a good idea to win it, even though I pray we wont be playing it again.

That said, Arteta is just not taking chances yet. When our qualification from the group stages is secured, then we can use smaller and academy players to complete the remaining formality matches.

For now, let's get the group stage qualification in the bag as quick as possible.

Well, fair points.
I just hope we don't have any injury to key players

Expert17:
Bench? He was our best player yesterday.

Oga change your TV.

Lol, I think some people just pick on players unnecessarily then bash them no matter what.

Even without looking at ratings, anyone who watches you guys game ystdy will know that Bruno was one of the best player and he was top 3 players that's trying to make things happen

kozmicity:
I swear... Do you think we can beat Barcelona??

Unless you guys meet, you don't necessarily have to beat Barcelona to win it

BlueRayDick:
They started playing league cup and FA cup matches first.

I think the fact that we don't rate Europa league ( considering we were regulars in UCL for years) doesn't mean others don't rate the competition. Maybe Arteta doesn't want to throw the youngsters straight at Europe....but then one can't really understand his position on these things

Considering Europa starts before league and Fa cup, I don't know how factual that is.

I think group stage is an easy platform for these guys to perform. Wenger did it when we didn't qualify for UCL, Emery did it the two group stage seasons he was here. Not saying everybody should be academy but one or two.

Another thing is Bodo Glimt pitch. I read it's artificial and can it isn't comfortable for most professionals. I just hope none of our main starter picks up injury esp Saka

ObaIgwe1:
I think the goal is to give some of them that are doing well in the academy some big matches exposure when possible to boost their confidence/performances and not necessarily to rely on them to start matches.

Europa League group stage is also another avenue for big match exposure to boost their confidence/performance. How do you think Someone like Saka, Smith Rowe and Martinelli et al gained their confidence with time?

We've got 1 or 2 talented players in the academy, this is the best platform to build them without much attention.

BlueRayDick:
Livescores has classified Saliba as LCB in a back 3 for this match. I look forward to seeing how he will fare there considering he's played RCB in a two-man CB defence all season.

I believe he'll fare there well. He played Lcb in some games at Marseille

iamoyindamola:
If ibraheem can made the squad but nwaneri can't
Arteta fvck up abeg

I mean, what's the need of even giving Nwaneri EPL debut if he can't even entrust some minutes for him in group stage.

BlueRayDick:
Maquinhos was disappointing at the last outing. I don't know wassup with him aside that.

I really can't explain Arteta's thinking these days, now I feel we can have that All or Nothing every season end for us to have a glimpse of what actually is happening behind the scenes beyond what we see and read on print media.

As in, I don't just understand sometimes.

This Europa is the only season where we wouldn't have any breakout star. He needs to trust some of these boys

BlueRayDick:
U no even Thank God say Partey and Jesus no dey match day squad

I can see Partey on the bench oo

But who be Ibrahim?

Never heard that name before

BlueRayDick:
Martinelli finally gets to rest. Nelson starts

So the time wey Martinelli deh rest naim Saka wan start shebi? What happened to Marquinhos.
Cedric?

Omo ehh??

Shegzdave:
Abi you have joined those scummies that Keep shouting Season just started and keep winning till season ends and reality dawn on them that we won the League title
This season go long for some teams ehn

This season seems different tho, but I'm just still careful. By late February— early March, if we still continue with this bastard form, na you go personally fear my own confidence. But for now, lemme just follow precaution

BlueRayDick:
I just hope we keep having little or no injury concerns as the season progresses. That way I'm sure we will have a very good season and maybe win one or two cups on the way

Yeah, I just hope our fitness carries us to at least Jan, then we can strengthen the squad in key positions.

I believe if we're able to do that, at least 1 cup will follow us come end of season with a top 4

BlueRayDick:


Sometimes e do me like make I enter plane go London and go deal with him like that old animation skit one fan enter plane to go fight Wenger for press conference when he dey talk about "Pacion" after we lost a match

I swear, I remember that cartoon skit then

E too funny

iamoyindamola:
You know the kind mumu goal cb and keeper go they blame themselves about
Na that kind goal

Lol...

Lol

Ballzproblemm:
