This life no balance at all; Nothing person no go read for this thread.

Mason Mount dey give fans shirt, pose for camera etc, dem say na fake humility, some even call him Mount TV

Now another person don drop another one say Foden dey proud based on body language.

How people dey take form this kind opinion about these youngsters they barely know other than watch them play just weak me

Exactly, it's the bolded that just surprise me, reason why I asked him how he knew. He barely know him, the only time he get to see him is when he goes about his business on the pitch, but he dislikes such a person cos his proud.

No interview he did that his answers proved his proud

Teammates haven't said such

No news/site carried any issue about him exhibit his pride to his teammates/opponents

Even his performances on the pitch never showed his proud.

But na body language we go look

You famz with fans, wahala
You no famz with fans, another wahala

I'm a psychologist and I have never wronged in my assertion, as I told thorrvik55 time will tell

Well... Time-telling is still a probability that you might be either right or wrong, same way most people will tout a wonderkid to be great only for the wonderkid to fall off the radar without achieving his potential

This your assertion no get basis cos na just television you dey see am(and na even 90min self, which is once or twice a week).
My gut feeling is telling me you just dislike him(not hate oo) for no just reason other than a perceived pride he have that you made up in your head. It happens like that and it's not wrong, after all there are some people one might just see and dislike like that from afar but when they interact with the person, their dislike will just fade off.

ddippset:
I hope these are jokes? Especially the Giroud one? That one is impossicant.

If they ask which match such giroud did such, Op go disappear

Oasis007:


Wahala for new OleOut Members.

big time wahala

E be like say him wan do hande.lex "no leave, no transfer"

thorrvik55:
Stop hating

Like it's just baseless allegation. I'll start using someone's body language during 90min of play to know the person is kind, proud, a philanthropist or Wicked etc.

Haba!!!

MorataFC:
chei, see reasoning, so if I say MJ is a good song writer then I must definitely be his PA?Or if I say Obi Cubana is a community philanthropist then I must be one of his workers
On and off the field the boy he's too proud, it's written all over his body.

Lol... Bros, we're in an Internet world, you don't need to become a celebrity's PA to know what he or she can do.

You talked about his attitude here, how did you know he is proud?. Did you read/watch where he exhibited his pride somewhere, or did you have an encounter with him(after all, you fit dey stay Manchester, I can never tell). Those are the ways one can know someone is this or that. Don't tell me because of the way he plays that he is proud, cos he hasn't shown any attribute of being proud on the pitch.

All the examples you're giving can be gotten from the internet ( songs MJ wrote and Obi cubana philanthropic works), but when e reach foden own, na "it's written all over his body" you fit see am, not through internet
Him body don turn Google and internet

O wrong nao

FantasyHub:
Willock remains better than lokonga. No midfield in EPL can bully willock. Even in the absence of willock I'll rather play el-neny.


Lokonga cannot make Sunderland midfield.

Lol... Maybe it's not the Joe willock I watched at arsenal laidis

FantasyHub:
Someone must be doing a good job in advising him about tactics. I suspect that man that he always hugs each time Arsenal scored a premier league goal.

Dude is clueless, someone that threw away Lucas Torreira , sold willock and bought lokonga.

SHAME!

one of the best decision he and the board made

MorataFC:
I'm not happy just b'cos they lost but for the guy that lost his own pk, that guy just too proud

Ah... Did you know foden in person or have you encounter any him live or through social media for you to say that he's proud?

Itsrm:
The truth is that they don't.

The rapid rise of sport betting companies will probably tell you all you need to know.

When I was in school, all we had was Naijapredict. If I start counting the number of betting companies we have now, I won't finish before 12am.

If it wasn't profitable, no one will sink millions into it.

While a few people win money here and there, the vast majority don't. All they do is dream and hope they'll one day hit that big money.

Everything you said here is the truth. The way Bet shop is In every nook and cranny In every street tells one how lucrative such business is, coupled with the new betshops coming up every year.

I just dey pity those wey wan make am through betting, wey think say na through betting dem go marry and build their dream life

Na those wey dey bet I dey always pity.
How do people actually win with betting seeing how all these funny and unexpected score lines pop up every week??

BlueRayDick:
The Aston Villa match is just one of the 6 wins and 2 draws in our recent unbeaten run to this point. What matters at the end of the season is the number W’s and D’s we are able to amass and the L’s we able to dodge .

We can only judge the team based on results achieved in matches we have before us up till this moment.... when it’s our turn to plan man utd, Liverpool and the rest of them we are yet to play we will see for ourselves what level we are .... As for now it won’t be inappropriate to appreciate how a team that lost to newly promoted side on the opening day of the new season has picked itself up and working itself up the table slow and steady.

I’m all in for criticizing the players/management when they aren’t getting , but I will also chip in a word of praise for them when they start to impress no matter how little

Okayy... Fair enough!!

BlueRayDick:
What u are referring to as performance here is ur own perception and not the reality .

The reality is that out of those 8 matches we were only outplayed by Brighton . The rest games we outplayed our opponents either by goals or possession.

If by performance u are expecting arsenal to win those matches 4-0 or end the match with 80-20 possession , then u are confusing Arsenal that finished 10th last season with some ready made team .

Lol... We won Aston Villa 3-1 by not having a possession of 80/20.
I don't need 8-0s, or 5-0s for now. I don't need 80/20 or 85/15 possession for now. What I just need is consistent Aston Villa performances.

To be honest, can we have consistent Aston Villa performances against average/mid table teams (bar man city, Liverpool and to some extent Chelsea)? I believe yes and I believe this squad is able to achieve that. I don't see how that is too much to ask, if you ask me.

BlueRayDick:
Here is why I always maintain that perception is usually not same as reality.

For a team that suffered 3 back-to-back-to-back defeats in the opening games of the season , our recent performance is not as poor as most fans perceive it to be. Maybe we are not there yet , but we are obviously not down and out .

We are improving statistically, No doubt but performance-wise we need to improve, what you brought is just result, it some times mask the performances. That has always being most of us opinion here. Nobody thought us as down and out.

BlueRayDick:
Even if a new coach takes over, that coach will not teach him how to control the ball, how to keep the ball close to his feet when making a run and when to dribble or sprint.

Pepe's problem is fundamental. If u watch Bakayoko's embarrassing displays in Chelsea colors; that's similar to what Pepe is doing to us now. All tru yesterday when he's one-on-one with Leeds defenders almost everyone knows what he's going to do the ball; except Pepe himself. EPL is surely not for such kind of player.

Maybe the new coach might find a position for him close to the goal where he'll do more shooting and less dribbling. To be sincere, not that I even have hope a new coach will harness him better but I'm just giving myself hope. The only thing I'm just clinging onto Pepe is to play the left wing, maybe he might give okay performances cos the few times he did played there last season, he tried.

More so, I believe he's still young go learn all these basics like ball control and how to beat a player smartly. Either he doesn't want to improve by doing extra trainings or he's just lazy, cos I don't understand how he doesn't watch some of his clips.

Like him matches clips no dey shame am??

iamoyindamola:
Na only Swiss fit help peperenpe

Even swi.shh don disown pepe

I don wash hand comot for Pepe matter. Not that I really had big hope on him from inception but the disappointments this guy serve is way less than the minimum I expected from him. Make arsenal just cut their losses sha cos nothing fit happen. Except maybe new coach takes over, and we all know that's not happening anytime soon

iamoyindamola:
That's why I used the word grind
What if the performance is good and we still losing

Oh...Lol. While you used the word "grind", I saw "turn things around after our horror show", reason why I quoted you cos I felt it's still to early to say we've turned things around but then, I understand better where you're coming from now.

As for the bolded, it's better for we to have continuous good performances and lose than to have continuous bad performances and win, cos with the quality of players we have, the poor results won't last for long before us going back to winning ways.

As for poor performances and winning, I believe you've seen a live example with Man u. It'll just be the team papering over the cracks and when the thing wan crash, e go crash well. So to me, Great Performances anyday anytime, once that happens, 90% of the time result will follow esp if you still have good players

iamoyindamola:
Kudos to Arteta and his team to turn things around coming from how we started, he is not the man for the job but he's grinding out results after the horror show in the first 3 matches.
Also we are becoming threats on set piece especially corner kicks.
I hope he and his team won't go back to default settings

Lol, while I agree we've turned things around statistically, but performance-wise I don't fully agree cos most of the games we played we underwhelmed. I don't count carabao cups (unless it's semi or finals) or Europa group stage matches to rate our performance cos even if we lose for leagues, we still have ways of playing well in those two competitions.

We played well against Aston Villa after so many underpar performances and we have Leicester next. I feel after Leicester and Watford depending on their improved performances before I'll give kudos, cos for now I still feel it's too early.

As for the corner kicks, I noticed it against Aston Villa too, wanted to put it among my "thoughts on the game" but it skipped my memory. I just hope we'll continue being deadly in such situations going forward

Happy birthday Patrick. More success, life and prosperity to you.

Keep on enjoying your day bro

May Arteta have sense to rest all first team players today Amen...

We get Leicester during the weekend, I believe Arteta will rest most of the first team players

Akinbahm:
I noticed Arteta always play cautious footie when it comes to respected personalities in football.

Don’t be surprise if Arteta has this current deadly Bayern and want to face Arsene Wenger with (erratic Emery’s Arsenal squad) I won’t be surprise if he drew with Arsene or even lost the match just to respect Wenger.

This talk funny and carry weight at the same time oo

raumdeuter:
Coaches dont need to praise performing players, Only useless ones need those type of praise to boost them psycologically

AnfieldFan:
Meant more like generally..Has over 100 goal involvements in a little above 200 matches for Liverpool...Bear in mind he played a season on the wings... Averages a goal/assist in every 2 matches...That's what I meant by decent..Not Kane or Aguero numbers but decent...
But no worry, I go tell am say make en no score against una this season
But e no d hear word, en tell me say en too like una so he has to appreciate his likeness for Arsenal, but I will force him not to score...

On another note, you see that Hendo pass for Salah goal...Hendo doesn't get the credit he deserves in my opinion..

As for Ramdeuter, Stats wise, Pogba hasn't been significantly better than let's say Arnold (a RB) in the premier league...

Lol... You think say firmino go meet sokratis and mustafi for defence to disgrace?? No worry, make him play him normal game cos goal sef no sure am

Henderson na another underappreciated player for that your team. He just goes about his stuff as he isn't flashy, thus most people won't notice his play.

As for dayo, as dem talk, stats don spoil football. Me, as use stats as reference not as sole analysis. Na eye test first oo

hensben:
I was surprised to see that comment the other day orchestrated by Raumdeuter. Watch him come argue this like say him know ball pass Klopp. If you watch liverpool that season Firmino was just too good in that false 9, he is still the better player to start with mane and salah, he can play with Jota too. I love players that influences play not just scoring alone. In a pragmatic tactics and formation players like salah will be limited, they are system players unlike Firmino that is all weather in any tactics and formation.

Lol... Jota scored ystdy, but na firmino naim Klopp praise. Na the influence we dey talk be that.

iamoyindamola:
We should have been ahead of title hopeful man utd by now

. I swear, we for dey 2pts above now

AnfieldFan:
Even Statistics wise,he's done alright for himself...You suppose know naa...Arsenal na en favorite opponent

Has he scored 15 goals or more in league more than once? I doubt that. This is someone who is a Cf at a top club.

Him go score 2 braces(home and away) against arsenal come end the with 11goals and you now say stats do him justice?? 7 goals ooo(aside arsenal)

O wrong now

BlueRayDick:
Well, I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I choose to recognize that fighting spirit even though we didn’t win the match . I’m glad they built on that momentum in the next match .

I also recognize the bolded too but only if I see it throughout the game not after going behind late in the game or from 70mins.

But yeah, we have our different opinions on it and I respect it

hensben:
Only Kovacic is proving to have that type of pass, this is the reason I said we need a player like Tielemans. RLC can’t pass from distance, he has to run and be close to the player before releasing the ball, while Barkley is technically average when with the ball. Saul doesn’t have a future here so we will be needing that fourth midfielder. Tielemans will not be that expensive.

How much do you think Leicester will sell to you guys?

AnfieldFan:
Lol...E no know ball

Like I said, na only people wey dey watch ball without looking at stats will appreciate firmino in Liverpool, esp during all the trophies they carried.

Liverpool attack carrying firmino to Cl and EPL win is one of the big jokes I heard this year

Arsenal will top ManU soon despite them having finished tappin suuiii merchant.
