Pls, save this shalaye till after Europa final cause if ebening secure the trophy mehn here no go contain us.

Lol... If Emery wins, then goodluck to him.
Why you think here won't contain us is what I don't get.

SodO9:
According to your picture
Newcastle player didn't score in 4 consecutive matches cos they lost 2-0 to arsenal

remember, he didn't play against arsenal

But for me to believe that one, willock will need to score two goals at Stamford bridge, if not, prophecy cancelled

BlueRayDick:
Arteta out , he should not only get out but take Willian along with him.....

Willian is the worst signing arsenal ever made since I became a fan. Do u know Willian played 36 games and has recorded 0 goals ? Even Kim Kallstrom that spent injury ravaged half season at arsenal managed to score in a penalty shoot-out on our way to winning FA cup that year.

Lol... We for kukuma give am pk make him play na. Sha season never end, him still get 4 matches more to play

mostob:


After he brought on Nketiah , I started packing my loads.
If he badly needed a goal, he should have brought in Gabriel as the second CF and instruct the wingers to put in crosses.
What angered me most was during the stoppage time, there were ESR,Pepe,Partey,Bellerin and Willian all on the right wing interchanging useless passes. like WTF ,

Lol... Forget Arteta.
You need a goal you're removing Auba, something that all of auba laca pepe saka martinelli ought to be om the pitch at once even if he wants to add Nketiah join sef.

We need a goal, wen everyone suppose to be inside box at 90min, players are still taking up positions at their respective wings.

Mehn, just forget Arteta, that match pain me die

Oh no.....I was a Chelsea fan long before pep Guardiola started coaching so let me support Chelsea for the title before anything else .

purplekayc:
even during Wenger's time some of them were playing like this

Nah!... It was during 2014/2015 upwards I'll agree.
We always have this tendency to start the 2nd leg with urgency
We might lose first leg, but 2nd leg, we'll drag it out, esp if it's our home

Ac Milan won us 4-0 first leg
2nd leg we won them 3-0 scoring an early goal.

Bayern won us 3-1 1st leg
We won them 2-0 in Germany (eliminated through away goals)

Even barca that won us 3-1 lost 2-1 first leg.
Aside Monaco(which we still won in their home), most of the teams winning us a very strong teams not mincemeal like Villarreal. That's a poor Villarreal side with very very average players not Villarreal of over 10yrs ago.

It's all on Arteta fault

Havertz10:
kross plays in midfield, mount is given licence to go forward more than kross, that's the only reason mount stats look ok next to kross, let's look at their entire output and things will get bloody, how can mount that plays the most key passes for chelsea be behind a central midfielder

Are you on twitter, kross replied a statement that mount made, my own is if people are throwing sly remarks at player it's not someone like mount

Real madrid fans have been making fun of our club because of that useless mouse that doesn't have talent

Did you know that kross alone has more followers on Instagram than Chelsea as a club

He has won more trophies than our club, if mount had talent they would have compared him to kross but because the dunce is useless they are finishing our club

Kross has won more trophies than our club

1.. First paragraph.
So you knew this yet you compare them side by side. What then is the need of comparing if you know they play different roles. That Mount plays most key passes in Chelsea team is testament of mount abilities, after all, nobody stops others from playing key passes in the team

2... 2nd paragraph
Do you know the origin of what happened? After the first leg, kroos dissed Chelsea team that there's nobody in Chelsea squad that will make them fear or have that x-factor(just like messi, Ronaldo, lewy et al). After the 2nd leg match, Mount replied that even tho no X-factor player, that as a team, kroos should be afraid of them.
Now tell me, what is wrong in what mount said? So mount shouldn't speak up for his team because "Nigerian havertz" will beef him? Mount is a key player, a first team player. He is one of the success stories of this campaign so he has every right to reply back same way jorg has, same way Silva has.

3... Kroos winning more trophies than Chelsea doesn't mean anything. In as much as kroos have talent, he played for 2 of the two biggest clubs in the world were trophies are mostly guaranteed. Take kroos and put him in man city during his peak yrs till now and he wouldn't smell half of those trophies he's won.
Just die this Mount matter, anybody wey reply Kroos, Madrid fans must talk due to their entitlement. So it's not because it's Mount that spoke

purplekayc:
Honestly I think he tried but the players didn't nput in enough heart

You think that's not his fault?
If he cannot make them to see how important that match is i.e winning first European trophy for arsenal, and making sure we won't entirely miss European competition next season, plus the allure of playing in the champions league. If all these things and more, and the players didn't put enough heart like you alluded, then it's definitely Arteta's fault and nobody else

Roland17:
Credit to @Spy360, he stood by his MCM throughout and gave Arteta numerous benefits of doubts before calling him out to be sacked.

Thank God say my head strong too much..After watching the end of last season and the start of this season, I knew he was not what he was presented to be. If we were a class of knife, we can’t slice through butter.. that is how blunt our offense is..I don’t even see the improvement in the defense that you guys are raving about.

Yesterday, we needed to score, what did he do? Removed Auba, bring in Nketiah who easily could have gotten a second yellow in less than 5 mins after coming in. The minute I saw Martinelli start against Newcastle, I knew he was destined for the bench against Villarreal.

Arteta needs to leave immediately and biko na o my Hale End boys I wan watch for the rest of the season. A new coach, an experienced one preferable is imperative.. No more experiments..

Lol... I think I'm overrating this our defence sef, cos we hardly keep any clean sheets. I remember even under Wenger, sczeneny won golden glove (meaning our team had more clean sheets). Realistically thinking about it sef, our defence isn't as improved the way we're (spy and I) saying it.

Also, I don wash my hand for Arteta matter and in game management(esp martinelli and formations).
We need a goal, and you're putting nketiah. Not just that, you're putting him at 90+ min thereby wasting our own precious time. And this isn't the first time he's doing such.
I grew up to know the winning team tactically waste time by doing subs at 90+ minutes in order to kill time, but Monsieur prof Arteta is revolutionizing it


He should just do and go joor

Havertz10:
People dey throw sly digs


Mount self wan join

See the difference in quality

Na that key passes part off me, when I say mount dey under perform, una say na hate

This guy eh, are you a Chelsea fan or anti-mount fan

Mount go dey fall your hand, you go still no wan gree.

1... So comparing Kroos with mount, you feel Mount is up to kroos level right? Well, that's a big plus for mount who's developing compared to Kroos who's an established star.

2.. So kroos has more shots on target with more matches played yet have less goals (no goals) than Mount and just one more assist than Mount

3... So with over 20+ key passes kroos had over Mount, it's just a paltry 2 assist he could produce? What sorta key passes is that . If we're to use mathematical relativity, it means by the time mount has such key passes, he'll produce 3x the assist of what Kroos had.
Mind you, one has benzema and one has Wener .
Going by all these stats, I'll know who I'll choose. No wonder one is in final scoring winning goals while the other one is recording 3000+ passes to modric and Ramos

Oga, this your agenda is getting ridiculous. Kroos threw a jibe about your team, you know see am, Mount duly replied him, but Mount (your team player), is disrespectful.
If dem say make you drop havertz UCL stat now, you go run. But if it was havertz that said what Mount said, you go dey hype him as if he's the 8th wonder of the world

Segedinho:
That mounts miss almost make me choke with my beer......


I never knew i love Chelsea till that day.....bw 7 to 8...i went to d toilet like 6 times..

I coudnt eat and my wife was wondering......

I took her along to a bar close to me so she could understand what football does to some individuals...


After d mount's goal,she realised that, very fast cos she saw grown up men pulling their shirt off and shouting..


She was like wetin dey sweet for d ball self.......,

I think she enjoys everything that happened and will want to be with me to see almost every tensed match

.

Na this kinda connection dey make marriage sweet .
Well-done Sir

jpmoriarti:
Not all managers will win the UCL.
Coaching in top European clubs and national teams is generally considered the highest level. It doesn't get better than that. Respect the hardwork and sacrifices that got them to that level. If you think it is easy, try getting a job in Europe in your chosen career.
This is all I have been saying from the beginning. You can criticize his inability to win the UCL but do not bastardize the process that brought him to that level. It is no mean feat. When GrammarNazi1 called him an experiment and a gamble, he bastardized years of hardwork put in by Koeman to get to highest level of coaching. This got me offended.

Any lucky person can do this. Pep did it, zidane did it, lampard did it, pirlo did it.
The first two worked out, the 2nd two didn't/isn't working out. A club like barca won't appoint lampard cos he coached the "highest level" club in Europe.
I don't know why it's hard for you to get these guys points tbh

purplekayc:
you really think the defence is good?

I don't think so tbh, but I just feel it's better than the kinda foundation Arsene Left. Hopefully, a good coach will improve on it

Segedinho:
Either Werner miss madrid 1st leg

Mount miss 2nd leg

Or havertz miss 2nd leg

That was Mount miss

handelex:
Lol, are sure you're ready for that conversation. Is he playing a different role under Arteta than what he played under Simeone?

Naah!!!... I said "I think", I no dey sure

Well, it'll definitely his injury concerns

handelex:
Lol that guy seems to chat so much shit.

That reminds me, what happened to Partey? I can remember how we really wanted him I included and was pained he went to you lots.

Be kiaful oo. That's my legend. My legend can do no wrong


As for partey, I tire oo. Him form just dipped. Seems the only match he came to England to play was against you guys first leg .
The rest have been average to a little above average performances. The quality is there, but you'll just know something is missing. I think Arteta's tactics is another thing limiting him.

handelex:
Ian Wright said earlier this season Arteta will win the league with our squad

Mtcheww.

You're still doubting a whole Ian wright??

Joezinho:
Wishing myself the happiest of birthdays. On this special day, I just want to thank you God for the priceless gift of life that He has given me and for the wonderful people He has put in my life.


Happy birthday to me.

Happy birthday boss

Spy360:
He did stabilise our defense but he got his attacking tactics all wrong coupled with that sometimes the defending is so poor like in the first leg. And it has costs us. I also prefer a team like Leicester, or Man City.

That's what I was saying. It was useless improving the defence if your attack will suffer heavily, reason why I used Chelsea as example. No matter how strong they are defensively, they still create chances for Werner to miss at least . Imagine they don't create chances at all, or just few and far in between.

Well, I think the only advantage if Arteta is sacked will that he's lay a foundation for good defence. Hopefully ooo..

Spy360:
Me that carried Arteta's matter like basket for head. I am utterly gutted by him now. Abeg we need an experienced head next season, even if it's for one season. Someone who can manage a game. That's what Everton has done with Ancelotti.

Lol... I remember na. You turned me to believer and almost turned Ro.land too sef.

Mehn , Arteta fall hand sha

Spy360:
We made a mistake letting Emery go too early. Probably due to his language barrier but he is a better game manager than Arteta. He can grind...

I don't think so. A team/board can pardon a manager for anything (not winning trophies, become mid table team etc), but you see losing the dressing room. No manager ever survives that

Check our 2-2 against Southampton last season, the equalizer lacazette did, nobody even celebrated with him at all, and even him was putting a very regrettable face like "why did I score sef". It was just so bad, and in such a scenario, no going back.

Even lampard dat was sacked didn't lose his dressing room the way Emery did

Spy360:
You're absolutely spot on with your analysis.

The first 30mins should have been a firebrigade work out. Use speed and everything to score a goal, even if we concede in the process, we would have still outscored them. But he pulled the brakes on the attack so much so that we couldn't even muster a shot on goal. Pathetic management from Arteta. I really doubt the board would want to keep him for next season. In fact we better begin a new search.

Thanks for the feedback.

@the bolded. You really doubt? With this inept board of ours, I think he'll still be there till probably we carry on with the bad results mid next season.

Arteta started brightly when he came newly and I somehow believed in him even tho he was a rookie. But recent management and in-game decisions have changed my mind about him. He should just getaut of my club

Chelsea's tuchel team is what Spy and Arteta wanted arsenal to be I guess . Strong defensively, yet still good in attack.

Well, Arteta proved he can't do that, cos we even have more flair, better and hardworking players than Chelsea (arguably), yet we're playing as if we're Aston villa mates.

Please Arteta should just resign biko and let better coach come

Spy360:
Despite all the time he spent with Pep he couldn't learn his attacking tactics, plan or instincts. What he waste of school fees.

Omo, this one is hilarious and it still weak me same time.
But he shock me o, he played under arsene Wenger, became right hand man to Oga Pep, yet still have attacking poor technik like Moyes. Na wa oo

Okayy, so I watched the match today and here are my thoughts

1... Arteta is not serious. This is supposed to be his most defining match yet, but he still told the team to put a break on the attack. Like we need a goal and an early goal for that matter, yet we are playing as if it was just a normal league match. Zero urgency, zero swift attack, zero everything.

2... In as much as we still played poorly even Though we'll be eliminated if we drew, we still missed some chances. Auba was unlucky twice with the bar. I guess it's just mother nature telling us ystdy night won't be our night.

3... One thing I noticed perhaps about our youth and feeder team is this, I think they're being taught how to create, pass and interplay, but they don't teach them how to score(mostly wingers and midfielders). Maybe it's only striker they do teach. Else, how the hell would ESR not hit the target from that range. He's not even far from the post, all he just needs to do is chip it in. Yet he chipped it out. ESR is not a good goalscorer, same things with saka, same thing with Iwobi. Perhaps if martinelli grew up in the academy maybe he'd have joined the crew. It's just so sad, esp seeing them missing easy scoring chances.

4... I know the reason why Arteta does not prefer martinelli starting. He's an urgent type of player who likes to make things happen unlike Arteta who believes in slow and steady game. Reason we haven't scored any goal with counter this season (I would like to be proved wrong tho, cos I don't remember any). Reason our attack is very very poor. Like I said ystdy he always deals on structure, and someone like martinelli might probably break that structure with his style of play.

Well, season is over for me. I no send the remaining league matches even the one against Chelsea. No more analysis and observation from me per match till perhaps end of season

Hopeful for better days, but still gunners for life
