The Tavares experiment must end. The kid has caused enough damage with his style of play. That first goal came as a result of his poor pass to nobody, which Man utd transitioned and Ronaldo swept home. If we went into half time with the lead, no way Man utd would have came back.
Tavarez was my only disappointment as I no longer consider Aubameyang disappointing, but expected.

Against big team at least, we need Tierney. We can't be parking bus and still be carrying shaky Lb cos of his attacking input.

The biggest disappointment to me is Arteta. Him and that our anonymous striker called Auba . He made man u confident to snatch all 3 points.

daveP:
True though, but you noticed he lost all aerial duels with Mctominay too. Then DDG has studied Auba clips for r2 that when he wanted to shoot that shot, DDG shifter three steps to his left before he made that save. A saner Auba woulf have taken the free space as DDG was already expecting that.


Lets be also real, those free balls Saka was seeing before he was closed down, volleys should have been his options instead of trying to cut and shoot.


He saw three and one volley for pass DDG na.
A Richalison, Ollie Watkins, ESR, would volley that ball.

I already know saka is not a good goalscorer, reason why I wasn't surprised. It just pain me say all those chance fell for saka sha. How I wish it was martinelli at least.

One thing I noticed is that, if it's 442 we wanna do, laca should partner auba and not odegaard. Attack was so dead and lightweight ystdy.

Just imagine only martinelli is the only one pushing attack while the rest where all soft

You see how the "defense wins you league" crew abandoned the thread. When we start squeezing wins against some bunch of "never was" they'll come and start telling you how defence is moving the team to greater heights.

johnjunior39:
You see this striker thing, I remember saying it here that one of our many issues is finishing but panel of judges said we no too get creativity.

Watching Auba is an eyesore, for Bleep sake he doesn't have to start every match ohhhh Arteta. This was a Laca kind of game , ginger ginger .

How did Eleny even surface on Artetas mind?

A reasonable Coach should by now know that Partey need a defensive minded player. AMN have by far shown this in the absence of Xhaka. Which bring me to the kind of defensive midfielders we buy or even gather. If u want to buy a defensive midfielder buy an outright one not all these he can play there we have been gathering like pawpaw

Lol... Wetin me and oyindamola dey talk since this week ooo.
Person dey off form and he's still lazy on top against small team, how would such a player fare against big team??

As for elneny... Do you remember our 1-0 victory against man u last season. Yeah, elneny and partey was the midfielder two that day. So scamteta thought he can just bring him in to repeat it after benching him almost throughout this season. Funny coach

iamoyindamola:
I no know why una they vex like this
Expect more this season, as for that ESR small small I go reason him matter.
The boy dan they play big man football too at what age

omo... ESR play nonsense ystdy, but then he's played out of position. Now that martinelli is fit, he should replace him while saka maintains his wing, but of course Arteta won't think that way

kokanepyramid:
Don't mind them they will just make assertions not backed by data, it was senile Fergie that first spewed that line and he has been called out for it by Sky Sport cos when sky sport analysed it closely they discovered it was false.

Lol... Even the author of "attack win you games, defence wins you league" have one of the worst defence in the league??

La illah!!!

Spy360:
The only mistake Arteta made was to not start AMN and Tierney. Asides that, his selection was OK. I did not expect us to win because United had the better team and they were at home.

To be sure of beating teams like United, Chelsea, Liverpool or City will require a lot of investment and patience. I don't trust Arteta but he seems to be tugging on. On moving to the next phase of our development (next season) we may really need to change manager.

This your talk no make sense honestly. Team that Watford beat 4-1 and have been in horrible form is what you said we need investment and patience to win?? Which investment and patience dey to win Carrick for crying out loud?

I'm not even angry that we lost, cos it's their home. It's the parking of the bus and playing cowardly that's really paining everyone. If after a season, a coach still park bus against teams, you think that coach will take any club far??

kokanepyramid:
common getat where were you when I was asking if we are expected to win or not yesterday.
Una no gree talk after a show of shame you are now coming with "we were not expected to win" a united everybody dey knack like olosho for Ring road Ibadan.
If we had won you would have come telling us how Ben White and Gabriel won us the game.

Jodera come and see o

Lol... Spy want make person hit am plank with that talk wey him talk. Even me no happy with wetin him talk sef

iamoyindamola:
I talk am against palace, even scamteta and mumu captain confirmed it
Now we are in trouble, this guy didn't learn shít from pep we play as underdog against every fucking team.
Nawa o, who can we beat then

I swear, if we play this cowardly against man u, who we fit beat.

This is really annoying tbh. How would you buy your players and after 2yrs, you still have ingrained your tactics in the players.

daveP:
Its like a bunch of Zombies with the remote in Arteta's hand. If you noticed, man utd weren't eager to attack, but we invited them in and bruno and even fred began to get expressions in the final third. And this Stupid coach still didn't see it fit to just do something different and watch the result change. Must everything be an emergency meeting before he gets the nod to change?


I won't like, i was happy Lokonga didn't play. But i expected AMN for a game thar was planned to make Partey boss the Midfield. But this man still no get sense. How dyu expect Tava to be running down as LB and LW throughout 2nd half like he's some Ghostrider?


Dyu what is scarier?


Afcon starting and things get even worse. That would be the best time to sack him IMO.

Lol... Na ystdy I know say Arteta na real coward. I thought he was afraid of only Liverpool and man city but ystdy just confirmed that we should be ready to park the bus wen we play any big club. If we can't play our normal game against man u, I wonder how we want to even improve. Worst part is that man u started with fear, but we gave them confidence and you can't try that to a Ronaldo team

I wish we can sack this coach cos ystdy just proved the we're building nothing with this man.

KingAlabi:
No arsenal player ?
Elneny celebrated that goal, you didn't see him?

Rowe saw de gea on the ground, even if he first instinct was shot, he still saw de gea on the ground and wanted to take advantage.

For tomi, before he went to the ground, the ball wasnt gonna reach him even if he was on his feet.

Exactly what I said. As a player even street football, which person instinct wouldn't wanna take shot in a high profile match?? Except the person no be attacker.

KingAlabi:
Looking at the replay, arsenal players had more visual than United from their position on the pitch, I can bet my balls Rowe say De gea on the floor, the ref is stupid sef that one is another story entirely.

I agree de gea went down too easily, but he didn't go down and a second or two later the ball was in his net to say he went down to avoid conceding, anything could have happened to him, just anything.

For the tomiyasu event, though looks like a penalty, but the ball didn't even cross him, it was headed before it even got near him. So it cannot never be a penalty.

Lemme start with Tomi case.
That ball trajectory was heading towards his path, he was felled before an arsenal player even nodded the ball.

Also, for the de gea incident.

1. It was directly from a corner
2.. Ball was in the air, so all eyes would be in the air. Man u was looking to clear their lines, arsenal was looking to keep the ball alive to score.

How do you expect both teams to see what happened to de gea except Fred who was near him??

As for the ESR own, it's reason why I said you should put yourself in his shoes. As a player, under split seconds, you saw an empty net, what is the first thing you should do?

1. Take a shot first to score, before finding out what happen or
2.. Trap the ball and see why the net was empty.?

I know all professional players will do the first option. ESR I know hardly take such shot in such situation

If you even notice, no arsenal players celebrated the goal even the ESR himself. Moreso, no arsenal player argued with the ref at first for canceling the goal under var reviewed it

So how then did we rob una

CapitalCee:
Arsenal lost shameful even after they stole a goal

We lost.. Yes
Stole a goal.. No!

KingAlabi:
Lolz the ball no even reach tomiyasu sef, Rowe won't say he didn't see de gae on the ground, if na defender fall no yawa but na keeper jare, not as if the Rowe shot wasn't saveable sef.
Arsenal will continue play if what happened to Christian erisksen happen in a match involving Arsenal.
Fair play !!!!!!!!

Lol... So Tomi can't contest for that ball? Please watch the replay again.

I'm not saying the shot is not savable, but de gea acted like a sissy in that situation and you can't blame arsenal for that. The funny thing is that all the players (both man u and arsenal) eyes where glued on the ball except Fred and didn't even notice what happened to de gea, but you expect ESR to do fair play in the heat of the moment?
You try dey put yourself for both side shoes and not just de gea na.

Even the ref have to blow for foul on de gea just before ball entered the net.

daveP:
Henry on Arsenal's performance: "I was disappointed to see us [Arsenal] sit deep to protect a 1-0 [result], we do not behave like a big team in these games. The teams mentality comes from the captain & manager; it seems his [Arteta's] mentality is always to play like an underdog"

Na exactly when I start lose hope for the match and started calling our coach scamteta.
Very stupid coach

KingAlabi:
Fair game jodera, fair game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol... Fair game how?
What happened to playing to the whistle?

I mean, David de gea just fell down, and you mean arsenal players should just stop as if we're playing some charity match?

Talking about robbing, so that foul from Maguire on tomiyasu isn't a pk shebi??

Anyways great result to you guys, na my stupid scamteta and auba I blame

So we came to park bus against man u even tho we can go toe to toe with them?

We'll park bus against man u, man city, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham because obviously Arteta is feeling inferior that all the coaches are better than him. How then we wan even make top 7 sef?

If na this coach wan carry us go Europe, we berrra go watch Teletubbies and cbeebies cos this man no just know wetin him dey do

Lana1:
Long live Arteta. #ArtetaForever

Na only long life I wish Arteta.

Any arsenal and Arteta related suppose get short life

KingAlabi:
Jodera good evening
After the initial robbing.

How was the first goal robbing??

Was it our player that fouled your keeper??

iamoyindamola:
Shebi spy and blueray say he's our source of goal
He dan turn source of sadness
E choke

Lol.. Na so na.
Person wey dey anonymous against small team and is off form, how would he perform against big team? That has always been my point this past few days.
He couldn't press, couldn't win ball, hardly bring others into play, then he crowned it all by missing a glorious chance that would have drawn us the game.
Na that time Arteta eye open say auba dey "sub-able"

Lacazette came in and the few minutes he entered he created two good chances for saka through tavarez cross that if saka was a good goalscorer, he would have ended with at least a goal. All these he did without touching the ball.

All in all, na Arteta bd biggest scam here. Scamteta for a reason.

Shout out to martinelli for his 2nd half performance

iamoyindamola:
Na only this one
We almost drew Watford and so on

Let him sit out this game since he's off form , mba!

Now, even the osho free goal, him no fit score.

Auba no try for us for this match at all.
So painful

So Arteta can remove auba

Lol

Why/how did Auba miss that??
Na wa ooo

Back to back??

Nice run from martinelli
Poor shot from Auba

Mtcheww!!!

I knew it was straight Ronaldo will play it

Silentgroper:
Mke una use nketiah sef pay una.

wen laca dey bench?

Arsenal play is getting a bid settled now

iamoyindamola:
Don't blame coach too much
What about the players
Auba bring nothing
Absolute nothing

is it not coach job to instruct him or change him?

Goal ball
Odegaaed

2-2

Not starting lacazette in this game is one of the biggest mistake.
But of course, he doesn't score or assist

No midfield, no attack, no tactical input

Which kain coach we get??
