You think say dem get sense?

WhoDeyHause:
No lies because you have done it before. You are talking as if you have experience. .

Lol, which Kain wahala you be??

Kantebets:
I wonder why no big team is going for Tuchel

Which big team do you think is in need of coach presently?

Abi big team will just sack their performing coaches because Tuchel is available?

WhoDeyHause:
See how a billionaire dressed to come and see his best team in the world with jeans that looks like okrika. If it is ordinary yahoo boys here only their friends or police following them will have not allow us see potter or jorginho in the picture.

No lies!!

drisham:
This is the first you a claiming to like a Chelsea player not named havertz

This alone shows his quality and shouldn't be up for discussion

Ballzproblem2:
okay, but will still make a fine player , irrespective of his position in the Midfield

Yeah, he's a very very fine player

Ballzproblem2:
yes

He's more of a CM and box to box. I don't think he's positionally disciplined for a DM even with the few times he's played in EPL

Ballzproblem2:
well that's up to boehly, for me[b],I will go for that black guy with dreads in Napoli,[/b]as for west ham it is better to be making steady profit than have dead ambitions

Anguissa?

Leyqute:
Way way more.

You can’t be blunt going forward and be useless in defense too.

If after he made that mistake, he’d sprinted like mad after the guy who won the ball, we wouldn’t have conceded that goal.

It’s a mentality and behavioral thing.

The bolded is true. It's the mentality or behaviour for me.

I thought Sancho is someone that always put in the shifts and likes to take responsibility but it seems I was wrong. Most of the games I've watched about this season and last, he always seems to fizzle out, even when the team is playing well and it's worse if they aren't.

Omo, the guy is disappointing sha

daveP:
See ehn. I think that's why whispers are going in among the big money bags. Ucl is under threat backstage. We'll see how things unfold.

I think it'll even favor Uefa more. If all tiers of Uefa competition are this competitive, it means more money for Uefa and the big clubs

WhoDeyHause:
Just look at assnal fans seeing barka as nothing as it's supposed to be. Can this happen like this for bayern, real Madrid or Chelsea?
Kilishihunter and BlaqFaze your club is finished.

You wan join me and Barca fans head together shey??

E no go work for you

Leyqute:
Sancho even passed the ball to his weak foot- with 2 opponents bearing down on him.

That’s what you call akoba pass.

... Lol, you can imagine.

To think Man u spent 2 seasons to chase Sancho?
Sancho suppose dey offer way more than this sha

WhoDeyHause:
Why you do you need to call frankfurt when you can destroy them? Any small club can beat them now since they are finished. .

I don't want to destroy them. I want clubs like Manure dat they've destroyed in 2 finals b2b to destroy dem

Who’s at fault for the first goal conceded- Sancho or Malacia?

Even though Malacia is at fault but let's look at it critically... What kind of winger is Sancho FFS?

That was a ball that you can take a shot, a curling shot or, a chipped pass or a side pass to was it Bruno, that could signal another attack. How could an attacker kill such an attacking pressure by passing it back to Malacia.

If you ask me, I would say Malacia even took a bad touch cos he was shocked that ball was coming to him as he wouldn't expect that in his wildest dream an attacking ball in that scenario would find its way to him in defence

I tuned in to watch ystdy game because I wanted to see how Marquinhos will fare and mehn, I was somehow disappointed. I wasn't expecting Saka or Martinelli-like performance from him but what I was expecting was just a potential. A potential of a winger who is fearless, can drive with the ball and would want to take on his man — just those attempts. But I was seeing someone who was afraid to drive forward or take on his man even with the space afforded but who was always looking to cross at the first opportunity presented. Maybe ystdy wasn't his day(it happens) but I just hope and pray that's not how he plays.

Lokonga is really a tidy player and his passing ranges where good as he kept things ticking. I love the way he opens up to show for the ball esp when we want to build from the back. Still a question mark about his quality in defensive capabilities tho as it showed in the game.

I don't get why Arteta was starting Martinelli when Nelson is fit. Maybe he don't want to rush him in from the start. If it's that, it's understandable so hopefully from next week, we'll get to see Nelson start. Else, it'll be a "not so cool" management from him in terms of managing our first teamers. Also Xhaka ought not to be playing games like this since he's now an undisputed starter. Europa games like these are the reasons we unearthed Martinelli and Saka which Arteta is a beneficiary from and saved us millions. Is Arteta saying there's no one person in that academy that he can give playing time in that Midfield?
Also I don't get the reason why he's putting G.Jesus, Saka and Odegaard. Maybe to get some run-out which isn't bad but doing that at the 50+ minutes is some kind of risk too high.

Nketiah had a very very nice game ystdy btw bar that miss. And oh, nice work from Jesus to setup that assist for Viera who also had a good game bar his unlucky shots. Turner had a nice game but his passes sha.
Shout outs to Tomiyasu and Tierney. They were really excellent esp Tomi.

Liverpool up next.
We need to take all three points. It'll do us a lot of good and confidence knowing how we're always coming up short against Liverpool.

COYG!!

Where has andrew.baba44 disappeared to? . Jod.era be ready to see him drop ulokpa alerts in your thread after world cup.

We go send Frankfurt farmers to deal with them again

BlueRayDick:
Line-up

We need to win oo.

PSV seems not to be playing around

Oasis007:
We need to build our first XI first.

Alright...

Oasis007:
Casemiro must cement his place in the starting XI this Evening. Malacia has completely relegated Shaw to the Bench. Eriksen has kicked Fred into Oblivion. Antony has demoted Elanga to U21 Squad. I expect Casemiro to do same for McTom.

Slowly but surely we gonna get rid of those average players in the Squad.

But why Ten Haag no dey use this Europa opportunity give some players game time esp with games approximately every 3 days?

Spy360:
Lokonga is a good backup but not good enough to give a like for like performance with Partey. We need someone who can give us an equal performance especially as Partey's injuries will always reduce his availability.

If Lokonga starting anytime Partey goes to injury and there's a notable drop in quality, it simply means he's not a good backup. It's as simple as that. Anytime a Player goes to injury and the fans can't wait for when that injured player will come back, it means his replacement isn't good.

If White goes to injury, nobody will be afraid cos we have a very good backup in Tomi
If Odegaard goes to injury, nobody heart will start beating because we've Viera as a very good backup.
Same thing with Jesus/Nketiah

Contrast it with When Partey goes to injury and Lokonga wants to fill in for him Or When Saliba goes to injury and Holding is told to fill in for him.

Once people heart start beating or have reservations because a backup wants to play, just simply know that he's not a good backup and Lokonga always gives that vibes anytime Partey is out.

BlueAngel444:
ask dem na, why are u asking me

Is a puppy not a dog?

I don't know about Puppy or about dog but at least let's give each other respect no matter the differing opinions.

We can always make our case without name-calling

BlueRayDick:
I no follow anybody do anything . I watched Madrid vs. Chelsea match and saw Silva found wanting in one of the goals . A gif was posted here and it showed Silva slept on duty for that Benzema goal , I pointed it out to u but u wouldn’t agree even with a live image .

Shey na wetin make me be popizaino enemy number 1 be that ? Silva didn’t have the best of game in that match and even the ratings show it, yet u wouldn’t agree but instead u claimed it was an agenda against Silva .

What u are doing now is exactly what an agenda is. It’s an agenda against Reece James who is one of ur best performers .

I’m an arsenal fan and Xhaka happens to be one of my most despised players , yet it doesn’t stop me from seeing the good in him few times he proves himself on the pitch . U fit like Alexander-Arnold , but e no mean say James na bad player

100% perfectly said

BlueAngel444:
lol una don drive the dog commot

At least we go enough peace, make person no come here they back tre tre

What do you guys gain in insulting someone just to pass a point?

Is it that it makes your point more valid, weighty or truthful cos mehnnn, all these una childish insults sef

iamoyindamola:
If that's the case we don't need him because we have alot of people that can play xhaka position and he's the least to be considered
The fact that we are looking at partey's replacement shows he's not needed

Exactly. It's the reason why I said his place is choked up and that we don't really too need him.

But if we want to get the best out of him without us criticizing him much then the best place is one of the double 8s

Spy360:
Emphasis on backup

Anybody that comes now will first think of being a backup before even considering of ousting Partey. Nobody will come now and bench Partey no matter how good he's. Even if Rodri or Rice comes, na bench.

It's just like Odegaard-Viera scenerio. Even though Viera is good and is competing with Odegaard, he'll always always see the bench as he's doing now until something drastic happens to Odegaard

Same as Jesus/Nketiah, White/Tomi and all others

iamoyindamola:
Don't get me wrong he's making progress and one of their best player because he always starting
But his recoveries will be punish in league like epl where the standard is high and we will roast him if he bring that to emirate
He's 24 i expect his progress to be high and steady though

okay.. I understand now

iamoyindamola:
Arsenal is playing double DM na
Just that xhaka is now moving freely forward and partey stay back
Also note that when xhaka move forward zinny replace him in midfield
Are you sure lonkonga haven't played that position too

Arsenal isn't playing double pivot esp when we switched to 433 from last season.

If Xhaka is playing as a DM, he won't have more goals and assists than previous seasons. If you even check his heatmaps, you'll see him further forward and nearer to the 18yard box compared to previous seasons. Xhaka of previous seasons would never have scored the goal against Tottenham and Leicester cos he'll never have been in that position.

There's a reason we're seeing the best of Xhaka now after how many years and that's due to the formation and positional change

Spy360:
Why are you surprised? I have never defended Lokonga to be as good as Partey.

Who wouldn't be surprised. When you're always defending Lokonga to be a good Partey backup

Spy360:
They said he is a combination of Ibrahimovic and Lewandosky. Power and ball sense. 100% striker.

100% agree with this.

Guy is strong, fast, accurate, positioning, movement, height. And na under guardiola hand him dey

Omo, EPL don buy market

iamoyindamola:
I decided to watch trusty clips on youtube
He's on loan at Birmingham omo the guy is not ready at all, he's not epl material yet
His decision making will get punish in epl standard but at league 1 it can be overlook
Arteta and edu must have seen something special to buy him

Lol, and I was hearing good reviews about him oo. Especially beginning of the season

iamoyindamola:
Okay what is his preferred position

He'll work best in Xhaka's position as one of the double 8s cos he has the abilities to play there

Playing him as a sole DM or one of the double pivot will see us waste his career and strength same way we did with Xhaka.

iamoyindamola:
That is why i said he doesn't have ball sense

Lol... We get Balogun we can groom sha.
