Loooooooooool

It better be lool ooo...

Make e just be joke

daveP:
Noticed his saves dropped drastically. That's why. Then errors climbed. Dunno why.

I noticed his saves dropped but he still made crucial saves to keep us in games.

Leicester 2nd leg, West ham 2nd leg are few match winning saves I can remember. As for errors, I hardly remember any except his distribution against Tottenham and Newcastle which the team played with alot of nerves.

Spy360:
In terms of talent and quality he is the worst. Let me explain in points

1. He was an easy target in all the matches he played. This is because of his lack of positional awareness. If not for Xhaka and Gabriel covering, he would be a total disaster.

2. Being dropped for Xhaka (a midfielder) and Tomiyasu (a RFB) shows he lacks trust from his manager.

3. He hardly makes a correct pass, when he does he places his man under pressure. He lost the ball more than any player I saw for Arsenal this season despite being a defender. Some of those caused us goals.

4. He is very poor in tackling. Elanga made a mince meat of him which almost caused us the Man United game, save for a bit of luck.

5. He has very poor decision making when he pushes forward. He is too hasty in both crosses and runs. I noticed Martinelli always gets fed up playing alongside him. Just that Arteta has banned arguments on the pitch, he would have been collecting wotowoto for body steady for Martinelli hand.

Name any match that we lost due to the bolded among the matches I listed aside crystal palace which I already acknowledged?

Moreover, you're talking his weaknesses, which we all know, but you didn't factor in his strength. All these things are what he did yet we won. What did Lokonga do when Partey was injured? What did Pepe do to even give person hope in the top 4 fight?

The thing is that, he was manageable and he even has stats to back it up. What influence did Lokonga have that made us lose back to back? Thank God for Elneny.

All these things you said didn't justify Tavarez being the worst this season.

Fkhalifa:
watched his goals once and I see him like the hidden talent like Benrahma of Wesham. you can try and see his goals.

okay..
I'll watch him later on YouTube lemme see

Fkhalifa:
Do you know this Nigerian Kid striking for Bolton Oladapo Afolayan? Arsenal should be tracking him

Nahhh...
Never heard of him.

Have you been tracking him

Spy360:
Initial gragra, if Tierney was fit he would not even see bench. We need an upgrade there seriously. Tavares really weakened our team especially against top opposition.

Lol... The question is, did Tavarez really weaken our team directly that costs us points for him to be the lowest rated? I don't think so and it's not even close.

Let's break down our losses in which our top 4 was affected

Crystal palace 2nd leg - a very shambolic display after a long time. He was tormented throughout the game and was partly culpable for the losses to since he was one of the worst players

Brighton - Not involved

Southampton - wasn't shambolic in that game as against the crystal palace

Chelsea - played a very good game and gave an assist. Plus his interception in Chelsea's half and key pass was instrumental in nketiah's 2nd goal and arsenal's third

Man u - scored the opening goal. Even though he was a bit shaky and caused the penalty, it wasn't capitalised on. We still won the game

West ham... We won even though he was culpable for Bowen goal.

Tottenham- didn't start. Game already over during his introduction

Newcastle - Everybody was bad. Very very bad. Would be Very unfair to point him here.

So how did he weaken our team or even weaken our play against top opposition especially when we won against Chelsea and Man u and he has goal contributions to both wins?

How is he worse than Pepe and Lokonga when he(Tavarez) have good first half of the season and was still very instrumental in the crucial stages when he was involved bar the crystal palace game?

If we're being fair, Pepe and Lokonga was worse than him this campaign.

kodded:
spot on with your analysis

But for me, I believe that Arteta should be rated lower, because it is his brain dead decisions that cost us that top4

How can you go into the 2nd half of the season with a very thin and inexperienced squad knowing fully well that an injury to either saka or partey will derail our season so much.

Arteta should be rated 4.5 because he had the leverage to win the top4 battle if he made additional signings in this past January but he decided to take the gamble and lost to the team that actually did something in the January transfer window.
How surprising

True.. Reasoning it, I fully agree with.
His performance against Tottenham and Newcastle which ultimately cost us our top4 hope should really be a massive dent to his rating.

I missed that when factoring his performance this season.

BlueRayDick:
Nice analysis and decent ratings. I see you rated Partey slightly ahead of Saka; I don’t think there’s anything Partey did to justify that.As in u rated a player who featured in just 24 matches ahead of a player who played all 38 matches , ended up as our highest goal scorer?

If anybody on ur list deserves to be rated higher it’s definitely Saka. Partey didn’t even stay healthy enough for his to exert that much influence on our overall success at the end of the day. If Partey will get 8.5 then Saka supposed get 9.5 based on doings o.

I also believe Ramsdale did really well early in the season but dropped form towards the end of the season. I will rate him 7.0 notwithstanding . I’m in perfect agreement with the rest of ur ratings bro

I gave Partey because of his influential display in this team. Since December, he's being giving us world class rating rating per match(say 8.0) and his display makes our Midfield and attack dominant.

But then, the highest rating can be between Partey and Saka. Anyone of the two deserves it

iamoyindamola:
Jodera why is awilo lonkonga having 6 points
That alone voided the rating as inconclusive

Actually, na even mistake, I thought I put 5.0 rating instead of 6.0?

My bad

johnjunior39:
Nice ratings....

I feel Leno was just a victim of circumstances during the beginning of the season jare.

I will give Eleney 6.0( he was good no doubt but not a warrior like Partey)

Ermmm Saka consistent in performance and fitness? I do not agree ohhh, sometimes his fatigue affected his input during game time ohhhh but he deserves his rating all thanks to his Oga that think he must every game. I am happy he did not break a leg.

About Rowe, still same thing I am saying about squad rotation , we have push that dude to different positions it wouldn't be nice to confuse his head lol. He will come good , unfortunately Martinelli is bossing that left wing right now

I will give Arteta 5.5, one significant reason is his poor team management. He didn't learn that from Pep.

Fair and valid analysis.
I agree with everything you said except with of Saka consistency in fitness and performances.

To play 38 games no be beans. To consistently give a rating of at least 6.0 this season especially as he's a young player should not be underrated. I've never seen a consistent player as Saka in this team since his debut.

The only time he gave subpar performances was beginning of this season and that's understandable seeing that he's just coming back from euros after a gruelling previous season for him

Fkhalifa:
Tominson
Gabriel
White
Ramsdele
Partey
Smith Rowe, Odegard,Saka, Elneny and Martinelli all tried.

Orthers are average and/or below average.

daveP:
never gave a 7.0 to me.

Well, the 6.5 you gave is still very fair.

It was just the last 13games you said he wasn't solid enough that I was just surprised, nothing more.

mostob:

When is Hickey doing his medical sef

Lol... I dunno yet.
But it's still early days sha

Karleb:
Mourinho about to be vindicated.

Lmao...
Vindicated with conference league??

Lmao!!

ObaIgwe1:
I can accept compromise in other departments, but we really need two quality CFs addition bro. We must have 3 good strikers to be comfortable... Auba has left, Laca is following... so we must get their replacement.

We saw how injuries robbed us of Top 4, because of lack of quality replacement. Reason M.City will still dominate is because their bench as almost as good as those on the field. Besides we have more matches to play this season... We need a full good squad.

2 quality CFs, Youri Tielemans or another equally good or better midfielder as a minimum.
I can accept compromise of giving Tavarez another chance to prove himself

3 strikers in a one striker system? I'm not sure we can keep all 3 happy and competitive. Remember, Nketiah only saw game time due to the sale of Auba.

I will prefer we beef up other places and get two quality Strikers(if Nketiah goes) or get one quality striker with Nketiah. Beef up good Midfielders and good wingers and we're good to go

Spy360:
You did a good job but I will make some exceptions.

Tavares is the worst player to wear our jersey, I would give him 4.0, that's since Pepe is 4.5.

Also Lokonga will take 4.5 as he just as Pepe didn't cover well for their main men.

Well done

Tavarez worst player?? Wow!

I thought his first half of the season form will grant him some marks

Thanks for your input

Lamasta:
Seriously overdue bro We are getting there gradually, once we win UCL now levels go change

Lol ...
Levels don change na.
Consistent winning of league no easy bros!

mostob:
I agree with all your ratings bro. And your analysis are spot on. Good job bro

Thanks boss

daveP:
Fixed and done. My ratings

Ramsdale poor in the last 13 games?? I never knew oo
Wow!!..

Nice ratings for the rest

mostob:


Matt Turner is now trusty? Chai
He will likely be the back up next season since Leno is planning to leave.
Cc Johnjunior

Lol ..
The Kain names we're linked to eh... Na comedy names

Turner
Trusty
Hickey... Like Mickey mouse
Scammaca...


Add it to Pepe and you go know say Trolling go shele if we get most of those players

raumdeuter:
So how did Klopp go from 2 points advatange to 14points disadvantage

Omo boss, I just gave the variables why PFA deem it fit for them to award Klopp the best over Pep

raumdeuter:
How did Klopp go to 14points deficit? Didnt they start the same day? So we want to give credit to a team who went 14points behind and ended up finishing 2nd but not give credit to a manager who went to 20th and finished 5th

Below is the league table on Matchday 10 with Pep trailing Pool and Chelsea. Man city actually lost their first game of the season and still won the league

... But this is just 2 points na

andrewbaba44:
You cannot beat the big boys but you can beat other ekuke teams

Lol... If it'll make you win league, then naim sure pass

Ibime:
Man questioned your logic, you begin laugh your own logic.

Of course a manager who is 2nd, 3rd or 4th best manager every month can win Manager of the Year over managers who gyrate between 1st one month, 20th next month, 15th the following month, then back to 1st again

Another fact and angle

andrewbaba44:
Apart from the top 4 being decided or not ,did he bear city and Chelsea in the league

I don't know when beating top 4 is a decider

In context, Ranieri didn't beat arsenal (2nd) but he won the manager of the season

raumdeuter:
Klopp didnt make top 1 na?

Abi top 4 is now the criteria not the gap covered

Arteta was not in a relegation-threatened team na, so taking arsenal from 20th to 5th 6th or 8th is no feat.

Klopp gave a title push from 14points deficit till the last day without losing a match.

50d33q:
You are generous with ratings
Arteta is 6/10
Over all the lads tried i wanted to do rating too but some of the season memories is just vexing me especially losing out on ucl
Very hard to forget

Lol... Maybe I was really generous about this Arteta rating sha


As for the bolded, I initially wanted to give the rating a day after the Everton's match but I was still angry about the loss of top 4 slot reason why I didn't, so that it won't affect my ratings emotionally. I just have to calm down, so yeah, I understand you perfectly

Jencejyde:
Say no more Bro! The analysis is simply on point. Much later I would like to engage in our overall play as a team this season tactics wise

Nice...
We will be expecting your inputs as always

andrewbaba44:
Klopp that could not win any top 4 team this season

Lol... Like the top4 was already decided at the beginning of the season shey?

raumdeuter:
When I kept mentioning Arteta you thought it was a joke?

If Klopp deserves it for closing a 14point gap without winning

WHy shouldnt Arteta who moved his team from 20th to 5th not be

Lol .. Arteta didn't make top4 na

andrewbaba44:
You should quote raumdeuter and ask him jare

By this I guess Ronaldo should be epl player of the season

Lol.. person don ask egbon. Me I'm asking you because you concurred so I'm showing you that at least EPL was consistent with not using player/manager of the month to judge player/coach of the season

raumdeuter:
Do you know the variable used? Tell us is you do

Thats the thing with polling booth awards they never have a criteria and its never consistent

I don't know. I haven't dug deeper into it that's why.

Though I agree with you, they're never consistent
