.. They should ban Bundesliga from selling players .... Halaand is another striker that will flop, it won't be long before we start seeing alvarez in the starting lineup

Don't you call Mertesacker
Thank you!!

hensben:
This is why I am not a fan of stat and I don’t take you serious when you start eating players based on stat and not eye test. Most of them on here dislike me for this, they want me to hail players that lack football basics because of stats.

Lol, it's just somehow sha.

You'll see someone play nonsense clearly and the next thing you'll see, someone will just reel out stats from nowhere telling you how the same person ought to win Motm. You'll be like, is it not same person I watched earlier??

iamoyindamola:
Na even those useless pundits like Owen

Lol... That one?? You dey listen to that one?


Person wey I believe say no like arsenal and I don't really know why. When I stopped taking Owen serious was when we bought Ozil and every arsenal fan were happy, only for him to say "We're happy to buy Ozil whom young Sterling is better than"

I'm like... What?? Do they even play same position?

mostob:
Even at that, the guy is so young. I don't even know which is which...e get one wey dey use airpod

Lol.. I swear. When I heard his age last week (when he celebrated his birthday, I shock)

Anyways, when you watch the AON, you'll see how he helps some of the players and how integral he is

Shegzdave:
The guy is linked to Chelsea

If he goes to Chelsea, no qualms. I don't have any issue with any arsenal great going to rival clubs as long as it's not a direct transfer

iamoyindamola:
Who's watching Leicester
Tielemans is an upgrade of xhaka abeg

Omo, we need him abeg. I heard that we'll drop official bid next week

iamoyindamola:
Just like Ian Wright said those telling us it's too early to celebrate are the one that will mock us if we had lost the game
Awon oloriburuku double standard people

You look at man utd they haven't gotten it right till date we are trying and managing but they will rather want to bring us down

Lol, any arsenal fan that wouldn't celebrate with success no matter how little dey do himself.

We win, we'll celebrate
We lose, we suffer with the team.

There's no way I'll see good thing and keep mute

mostob:
Bro... please where can I get the video?

I think Blueray dropped the link here earlier.

But here it is. Then you'll see episode two and three there in the next option

Expert17:
The list was extracted from Europe most valuable players.

Haaland replaced Sancho.

oh... I understand now

KingAlabi:
Let's start this season well abeg


ETH I dey your side wella
I be committee leader of ETHin

My boss

Hope Man u no go make you go sabbatical this season again

Expert17:
Most valuable EPL XI.

I don't stan rubbish.

Halaand wey never start don dey for most valuable 11?

How, Why, What factor?

Unlimited22:
Reece James’ game by numbers vs. Everton:

100% dribbles completed
100% aerial duels won
100% tackles won
94% pass accuracy
17 crosses
3 long passes
3 clearances
2 chances created
2 shots
1 interception
1 clean sheet




This is what we mean when we refuse to read games by stats alone. James that played like he was on holiday for most of yesterday has these stats and someone who didn't watch will think he had a stellar game.

Lol

One thing with Stats is that it always have a way of overblowing any small positives and even turn huge negatives to very very good positives.
Now let's break James Stats down.

100% dribble completed: Maybe it's Only one dribble he attempted and successfully completed but stats hid that fact and used 100% to sweeten it.

100% aerial duels won: Maybe it's just only 1 or 2 duels he contested while shying away from most part but again Stats hid the numbers and used 100% to cover it up again

17 crosses: This kind of stats is even funny more. Stats didn't even say how many was accurate, maybe all was useless sef. Well it doesn't matter as long as the volume is high right?

3 long passes: Same here as the 17 crosses. We didn't even know whether all the long passes was accurate sef.

Na the reason when people just reel out stats when defending/hyping a player, I just look away.
Stats mostly are to aid your eye-test(giving your eye test more validity and clarity) but it's unfortunate most people rely on stats to guage a player instead of actually watching the game

Disclaimer: I'm not in any way denigrating James nor his abilities but to highlight and explain how Stats can mask one's flaws effortlessly without presenting the true pictures of things.

Shegzdave:

He’s the life of a party.
I like him so much but it’s a pity he had to part ways with Arsenal that way.

I swear.

iamoyindamola:
He was from PSG he's not good considering his tag 80m

Na my fear be that.
Make e no be like say we dey dispose Pepe for another Pepe

Watching All or nothing—Arsenal episode 1-3 and here are some few pointers.

1... Arteta isn't as high-handed as probably some of us sees him to be. He also seems to be a good coach who tends to relate with players well

2.. I think Josh kroenke loves arsenal more than his Popsie. In fact, I'm thinking all these recent cash flows we're experiencing is due to Josh's influence than Stan actually turning a new leaf overnight

3... I really love the way Arteta psyches the player up before each game and also how he brings togetherness In the team.

4... It's always good for a coach to have the support of the backroom staff and top executives. Edu and Josh(especially) demonstrated that during arsenal/Arteta tough spell last season where we lost 3 straight matches.

5... Auba na one hell of a jolly good fellow. Omo, the players will miss him sha

These Is just the few I can remember but if you haven't watched it, I'll advise at your leisure time please do.

mostob:
The man sitting beside Arteta on the right is our assistant coach, 27 year-old Carlos Questa.
27 27??

Lol, he even turned 27 on Tues, meaning as at last week he was 26

But then, I thought he's the developmental coach and not really the direct assistant. Isn't Stuivenberg our assistant coach?

Lush100:
Kronke has given go ahead for arsenal to buy Mousse Diaby.
Mari exit on the way.

How good is this guy? Have anybody watched him personally.

I'm wary about German league players(especially attackers) especially when I've never watched them personally.

mostob:
Top team? I would want him to stay and back Saka up.

of course, that's what I meant. For him to enter the top team means he'll have to be a backup at first to Saka. That's a good promotion considering he wouldn't even be seeing matchday squad presently

mostob:
Arteta and BFG were both present at the Man Utd game. BFG..the little Prof

1st goal: Marq did a feint (at the edge of the box), shift the ball to the right and shoot.the shot was blocked and fell to Edward who tapped home.

2nd goal: Marq cut inside, shoot bit it was blocked. The ball fell back to him and he took a shot just from outside the box again which went straight in.

3rd goal: Marq cut in and chip a pass towards Azeez who carefully brought down the ball and scored the calmest finish of the day.

Hope I try

Lol... Na you try pass.
If Marquinhos can continue performing laidis and improves also in Europa group stage, then top team might beckon for him sooner rather than later like Martinelli

Drone17:
That's why I said I believe in the mentality of this Arsenal team.
On their usual day, they could have easily fallen apart under pressure, but they held on. It's a sign, a good one. Yet more is to come because it isn't our best selection.

First matches against small teams are usually very difficult.

Cc Jodera

Aside White for Tomi, I think that's our best selection ystdy. Hopefully, we'll see how the season unfolds but it's always great to start the season with a win

mostob:
Lol... that's my number 1 site followed by justarsenal. I enjoy reading their comments on those sites.

Lol, I do follow justarsenal then like 4-5yrs ago but not anymore. Omo, during matchdays you can see over 200-300 comments and it's so much to catch up. Crazy people there sha.

But now, I just follow "pain in the arsenal"and "gunners town".

everton4life:
Are you sure about that?

They beat a certain United team at old Trafford two seasons ago.

Lol, I made a mistake then

popizaino:
If no be peak stupidity how will you rate James above Trent?

Rate Mane more than Salah?

it's always peak stupidity for you until he rates Mikel more than Oliseh in DM and Drogba more than R9, then you'll join him start shining your teeth ....

Hypocrisy??
Lmfao

mostob:
na true sha... E vex me yesterday ehn
I wanted to have Jesus, Saka, Martinelli,Rammy and Saliba in my team...

mostob:

Funnily enough, I came across the name on arseblog. That's what they do call him there because of his injury. Anyway, I'd stop using that name...

Lol... Those arseblog people no get joy sha

Ennyjay69:
what of marquinhos you guys signed?

He's one for the future. He won't be rushed in.

Europa League and cup games for now

michigang:
Ramsdale still misplacing passes. Nearly gifted a goal in the first half.

Aside for that misplaced pass and clearance which nearly caused a goal, he was superb (even his passes was great before and after that). There was a reason I said he was jittery and that's because it was two I was insinuating

Drone17:
Most big teams will lose their first match when away to small teams. I have seen clubs just coming from Championship who beat defending champions in their first games and still got relegated.

I congratulate the team for holding on. Hopefully we will get better as the season wear on.

Yeah, sometimes teams do falter at beginning of season. Those guys really held on. Especially the defence and Gk

mostob:
I was shocked to see Tearknee come on yesterday. Never knew he was fit to play such game.

Lol, as I saw Tierney in bench, I knew he'll at least get game time.

Ps: please can you stop calling him tearknee. It sounds gross. Esp as it's our player and not that he's even a flop sef

mostob:
I was shocked to see Tearknee come on yesterday. Never knew he was fit to play such game.

BTW this FPL na scam. I have Rammy,Saka and Jesus in my team. I was about to add Saliba when the thing raised a red flag. Why can't we have at least maximum of 5 players from the same team.
Now, I'm forced to choose Kuli and Silva

Lol, why would you want max of 5 players in one team .
If na like so people for dey pack Liverpool and Manchester city players full everywhere na

mostob:
Yes...but you know all the stats and superstition following all these early kickoff na.. look like Pepe is staying since Marquinho was not on bench yesterday.

Lol, that's because you looked at the side that favoured crystal palace na. I guess you didn't know that Palace haven't won their opening match (weda home or away) for the past 4-5 seasons right?
