Those in charge at Arsenal were myopic. We won't be talking about SAF if they did what Man Utd was doing with saf in the transfers windows.


Looks like the EPL may not get such raving combo in ucl again. Klopp is still far away.

Do you mean about the board being stingy during Wenger's reign?

andrewbaba44:
Aubameyang is an arsenal poster boy ,but no he must be Barca poster boy to justify arteta sending him away

Who won you the fa cup against Chelsea by scoring 2 goals in the finals

You can praise harvetz but you cannot praise what auba have done for your club that hardly win anything

Lol, you just intentionally choose to twist it about arsenal just so you'd have a leeway shey??

You say Auba have 10 goals in 15matches. Last time I checked it was for Barca not for arsenal and I never for one said Auba was not a poster boy for arsenal or I didn't appreciate his contribution for us. I'm talking about Auba of Barca here not arsenal

My point is, that 10goal in 15games no too dey impactful because with or without Auba goals in the league, Una must still make top 4. E go dey different had it been Una dey drag for league but no na top 4. With Auba goals Una fit finish 2nd, without Auba goals possibly 3rd or 4th. To me no difference

So it would have been better his goals were utilised in the Uel win where Una for get hope to carry trophy (even if e no reach 10goals) than to dey statpad for league where Xavi Don make top4 sure for Una.

Holding can partner Gabriel, xhaka and white
I read Tomi is back in training he can come in the second half

Omo, Tomi matter don tire me oo.

Everyday I dey see am for training but not on match day squad. Before I was having confidence that he'll be in bench against Southampton, now I'm hearing Chelsea. I want that guy to start against Chelsea and the only way to do that is to have some cameo appearance against Southampton.

As for Gabriel holding partnership, modern coaches nowadays hardly break up partnership except if there's injury or rest to one of them. E dey hard and I won't be surprised if Arteta doesn't break up the partnership this weekend even if it's possible to do so

daveP:
Ian Wright made a statement on Nketiah.


He hasn't done enough to turn heads in his direction. Many players have turned heads with less than half the minutes he's played this same season
He however looks like he's going to get the nod next match.

I heard exactly same thing ystdy at that "Wrighty and Kelly show" from Wright.
It was Exactly same thing I was telling Spy then but he thinks I'm just blindly defending Lacazette. Nketiah would have done more, but he didn't and that's the sad truth. Greenwood broke into man u first team with less minutes when he was given the chance by scoring by the 70th+ min whenever he came on. Ole no just dash am regular shirt like that. Same with Martinelli and Saka.

While I'm even banking on Nketiah now is because Laca is not even doing the things I was even defending him for again and I think that's what Arteta might probably be reasoning (if that illness is a cover up stuff).

If Nketiah hopefully starts tomorrow, then he should try to capitalise on it(no better time than now).

andrewbaba44:
He has scored 10 goals in 15 games

Show me the arsenal player with such stats

Sometimes the smallest number is greater than the largest number – Paul Heyman

There's a reason why havertz na poster boy for Chelsea UCL win with only 1 goal while Abraham with more goals was forgotten.

It would have been better he scored just 5 important goals that will ensure a Uel win than to be porting goals in league wey Una go still make cl with/without his goals

50d33q:
Nuno na, I won't give up on that boy yet he's shown to have potential in the early season

Same here.
I'm still mad that Arteta used Xhaka as lb against Brighton who themselves was in low confidence heading into the game (losing their last 7 matches or thereabout).

That would have been the perfect moment to trust tavarez and not dampen his confidence the more. Instead he just used one tweak(shifting Xhaka to Lb) to kill 3 positions.

50d33q:
White can play CDM why is arteta messing with our season by playing that awilo boy

Who will play LB?

FirstbornWds:
Nooo. Oscar is pinpoint bad. Honestly.

The scapegoat way even rival fan go fear na Ferran. I no no wetin the boy do them.

Lol, na true sha.
I still no know why some of una dey blame dat boy sef.

FirstbornWds:
No day ask us things. We go take emotions untop una

Wahala

andrewbaba44:
Ferran torres is their scape goat even when he plays well

Mingueza hardly plays so we go forget am immediately

Everybody Dey miss clear chance ,yet we should kill auba because he left arsenal for us and doing well

I mean, if you want me to be happy with you when Auba was banging el clasico goals, why shouldn't I be sad with you him don go missing when it matters most??

andrewbaba44:
I no vex for auba pass mingueza Baba

Auba have scored 10 in 15 games and he is doing well

This is not the best time to troll auba ,try harder

Mingueza na the new scapegoat for Una thread na. As long as say him start, he's already on bashing mode so talk another thing

You're shouting Mingueza but deep inside you, you know say if Auba convert that his clear chance that game for enter Aet with possiblity of una winning.

Any goal wey Auba wan score from now on na for him own personal glory . So yes, he's doing well for himself but it won't mean much for Barca now.

FirstbornWds:
Auba na weyrey... The guy be like e get scornvh for head yesterday.

FirstbornWds:
Imagine say person way get Lacazette as top9 day troll Auba.. Nawa for you o

All these Barca fans sef

It's question I ask. Concerned question for that matter

andrewbaba44:
Dey justify arteta decision

Lacasera will take you to the promise land

Lol..

You know say deep inside you, you dey vex for Auba performance ystdy. I no even intend troll Auba sef, na just the "appreciation letter" ish after banging brace against Madrid that just spurred me on to take a dig, I just couldn't resist it. Nothing serious

You fit come collect Lacazette next season too after all Auba and Laca na buddies. Literally brothers from different mothers

andrewbaba44:
So any striker wey no score for him team knockout stage Na bad player Abi

Nah, on the contrary, any player wey miss gilt-edged chances that hinders his team progression issa Fvck up player .

And I read he missed more than one aside playing nonsense

[quote author=Bacteria8 post=111963460][/quote]E reach to burst laff oo

andrewbaba44:
E no score yesterday mean say e no go score again

When he score for weekend where you Dey

I go remind you when he score next no worry ,besides how are you enjoying lacazette

To be fair eh, na ystdy be the priority goal to score. Weda Una finish 2nd or 4th in league, it doesn't mean much because las las dem no dey give trophy for those positions and na UCL all of them dey go. So nothing dey to alert me about weekend goals

The main Koko na ystdy match and the Europa League win. And that's where he really fvcked up

andrewbaba44:
I gave you his stats nah ,10 goals in 15 games

Baba enjoy your lacazette since arsenal loves quantity

So as e dey like this, him subscription don finish bdat so sharp?

I still fit send the appreciation letter oo, I just dey wait for Una incase you want make we edit anything

50d33q:
He's like a devil he will give you one and collect multiple

50d33q:

Auba is back

If Auba wan cast person up eh, na in full force

Bimmarlykay:
I love how all our players track back to help the defense unlike before....only one man will be gallivanting...you have seen it now we needed Messi in yesterday's match.

So you needed Messi in Europa??


Alaye calm down joor

andrewbaba44:
Auba was signed for a 1 and half year deal ,he will enjoy his time here

You don’t have the right to troll someone with 10 goals in 15 games

Make top 4 First before you mail your appreciation letter

Just because I asked a caring and concerned question weda Auba subscription don finish naim make your body dey vibrate laidis

The last time wey you type for this thread about Auba, e bin no dey like this oo. Na Frankfurt syndrome?

50d33q:
Bros auba missed this sitter and get subbed off

WTF!!!
Are you kidding me??

I no even watch the match, na Barca thread wey I bin just peruse early hours of this morning wey I com see say dem dey insult Auba.

Omo×10

@Andrewbaba and @firstbornwds..

Una Auba subscription don finish sharp sharp??

Do you still want us to mail your appreciation to the board

Jencejyde:
Astute! But this one spy is blaming you for Laca matter , e get as e be oh...

Lol, no Mind Spy. Na because I was always defending Lacazette initially this past few months when he wanted us to bench him for Nketiah. That's the reason oo

Jencejyde:
I'm struggling to understand the instructions given to Laca. If he is to play the CF role, then he should be doing more shuttles in and around the 18yard rather than coming way outside the yard into midfield to get into play.

Unless it's what the manager has instructed , then it's not helping his game at all. I remember when Laca was in Lyon and was playing the CF role with aplumb but[b] it seems either he is asked to play it differently or he lacks the fitness levels to do those runs in and around.[/b]

A CF must have pure instinct and technique before anything else, fitness and understanding of the role may alter performance but ultimately the instinct and technique will prevail if consistent.

I can understand why we wanted that guy that went to Juve. The guy is something else with technique and instinct.

Well it all goes back to the board and the decision to let Auba go without getting a decent backup. It's a shame really and unless Laca just finds form out of nowhere then it's a long road

I feel that's the bolded. Lacazette is hardly a box that shuttles around in and around the box. He always love to involve himself In things. Also I think his fitness level is not that great. Wenger mostly sub him when he was our coach while Emery makes him hardly completes 90min. Also you note that Ligue 1 is different from premier League in terms of intensity during Laca time there

I think what Arteta is doing is that his just trying to maximize the best out of Lacazette by just telling him to do what he does best (linking up play and pressing from front) while the goalscoring is shared between him and his co-attackers.
Unfortunately, Laca forgot his duties as 9 and also what he's supposed to do.

I won't blame Arteta for wanting to make Laca being a creator as well as goalscoring after all that's how Kane became more rounded and what Pep initially asked of Aguero. Just that seems not to fit the bill again plus his at the Wrong side of age.

I raise my hands up now for his matter, we need another person even if na Nketiah or Martinelli. Maybe bench 2-3weeks go reset am

Spy360:
Arsenal was genuinely interested in Vlahovic but he preferred Juventus and they capitalised on it and hijacked the deal. This is why I am not going to be too hard on the board, coupled with the fact that signing just anybody will be worse than not signing at all.

As for Lacazette, I blame Jodera.

Wahala

mostob:
Martinelli is the only reliable LW we have though ESR do play there sometimes.
Nketiah na NEPA ambassador too.

Nketiah wey be off and on now is better for us now. At least Laca Don totally off for the past 3 weeks or more.

Let Nketiah play 9, if it doesn't too work out then Martinelli should take over the 9. Arteta just need to be proactive and tactical

donjazet:
International football has been used as a vehicle to pass good social messages for a long time now. It was used to pass anti-apartheid messages, antiracism messages, anti-war messages and now inclusion and tolerance messages. Many footballers are appointed as UN ambassadors for global peace.

I support using these large platforms to spread positive messages. In these Islamic societies, gay people are literally put to death, either by hanging or by stoning. It's an extremely homophobic and intolerant society that still enacts and enforces century old laws, it's okay for modern societies to use football to shine a light on the archaic practices still practiced there and hopefully enlighten their citizens.

While I don't dispute the fact that football should be used to pass on goodwill messages, anti-racism message and so on my point is that there should be introduced wisdom in dealings with stuff like this. Knowing right time to do something is gold itself. No matter how we want to look at it, football is business and entertainment. World cup is also footballing business and entertainment reasons and the main aim why it's at Qatar is for pure footballing reasons. FIFA can't just jump on it to propagate the goodwill of LGBT using the world cup. To me it doesn't feel right.

There should be a set platform for it, maybe dedicated match, commercials, advertisement for it not the world cup. If this WC is for propagation of LGBT cause, then I won't even talk, but it isn't. The world cup is not the right place or event to do it is what I'm trying to say

Amoto94:
I wont be foolish to express views in a place that could lead to harm I cant bear, it's like asking me to kill a python in a place where killing it is a taboo. Before you embark upon any mission consider the timing and what the people hold dare. I wont go to a Roman Catholic cathedral and start denouncing catholicism if dey lynch me I'm to be blamed

I mean, this isn't hard to understand na. One don't need much wisdom to be able to do what is right

donjazet:
Do you really understand that statement and do you support it??
He said people shouldn't be allowed to " express their views", you know that is suppression of free speech right??

How would you feel if an international competition was taking place in china and a Chinese representative says he doesn't want any body to express their views on Islam or any moslem related issue seeing as it's not accepted in that society, will you cheer him on? Will you accept that suppression of free speech?

Haba, it's just 28daysna. They didn't come to Qatar to air any view or do tourism but TO PLAY FOOTBALL. Let the players or whoever mind the business wey carry dem come. How is that hard?
And yes, I support it, cos I don't see how it's hard for any LGBT sympathizers not to calm down for that 28days.

I mean, no be everywhere person/people go dey claim right na
