Chelsea And Newcastle.

I Know say these two clubs must support Man City. Especially Chelsea and their wayo ways

Roland17:
I remember this game very well. I always find myself asking What if? Some of my takes on that match day. Omooooo no be today sha! Wetin pesin don suffer on top this club matter sha.

Diaby on his day was impossible to play. A total incarnate of Viera but his body would not just let him. When I watch Partey, I sometimes remember Abou because of his effortless command of the ball.

Like Partey, you are wasting your time pressing because would beat the press every time and transition the ball. Injury na bad thing sha.

I still remember this game like ystdy. It's one of the complete dominance I've ever seen from an arsenal midfielder against a top team(it rivals partey own against Man u in 2020 tho).
I was just raving that day endlessly

I believe his talent was too good to be ignored reason why Arsene was hoping he'll overcome his injury woes hence his long stay here even with his long injury absences.

Injury really robbed us this guy and Partey sha

timbros:
Incorrect.

When both teams are similar, they team behind will be pressing for equaliser while the team ahead will be looking to protect their lead. That's why in such scenarios, the leading team always makes a defensive sub while the team behind makes attacking sub.

Unless the leading team is the superior team. They will still be playing their normal game, and the additional minutes may be in their favor.

In most cases, additional time favors the team behind. It will give them more time to press for equaliser.

Except you made a mistake at the bolded because this has been my point from onset. Additional time favors the team behind not the team leading

mostob:
Onana and Sesko deals off...

Which Striker we want sign now...abi na Osimhen?

I read he felt he wasn't ready for a big jump yet reason why he extended to gain more development. Watching his clips and keenly observing his attributes, I felt same way too reason why I once said I'm not really sold on him. But one thing is certain, he has that potential but I don't see him as one presently to fill in a starting spot esp for us

Osinhem is injury prone else that would have been my perfect Cf. Aside Gyokeres, I dunno who again oo. Maybe we should go for Solanke but I've not really watched him to know whether this season is just a one off but he is still young (at least) which is a bonus

timbros:
Which kind analogy be dis?

The 20mins can literally favor both teams.. Lol

Actually, most teams slightly leading are usually the ones on the ropes when added time is given especially if both team A and team B are of similar standards

Trevor012:
Please you are only one of two sensible messi fan we have here. Dont allow people like andrew and others infect you with messikolosis 😀😀😀

Lol... You be werey

Trevor012:
Receipt drop bro said na editing 😂. Jodera that has been on nairaland for more than 6years doesn't know editing your post doesn't affect those that replied you. These are the kind of people that supports Messi 😂

Lol... You don try.

You Sabi bring receipt na one thing wey I take dey feel you even tho say you deh annoying

mostob:

You know the most painful? The guy go con dey flex muscle and our players go dey do like Mama's boy. Drogba o...same Drogba. Chai... Well, now is the time for payback. Make we dey hammer them.dey go.

Lol...
Drogba too bully us sha. Sotey him even go galatasary bully us for there

Make we just dey win Dem dey go back to back. I just need more or similar scorelines like that to cool temperature 5-0

Liposure:
You lie. Go and rewatch his game

Haaland?
Like halaand of Man City?

BlueRayDick:
I always see humor Dave's post each time he suggests we sign an "out and out striker" as opposed to players in the mould of Gabriel Jesus, Nketiah, etc who do link-up play and also function actively in the build-up play.

Agreed Gabriel Jesus has not been at his best in terms of finishing and we may be left with no choice than to sign another striker. But one thing is sacrosanct; whoever we will sign will either be in that Mould or Arteta may be forced to change formation to accommodate the kinda strikers Dave likes.

It is obvious strikers like Gabriel Jesus are critical to Arteta's style of play. Like u rightly opined, there's a resason we now ship bag of goals past our opponents in the last two seasons.

Lol... Dave.P just wan see out and out striker else him no go dey fully impressed

If we like make we score 500goals, him go say we try but If we fit score 500goals without out and out striker, then imagine us scoring 1000goals if there's out and out striker

Granted, what I agree with him is that the said striker needs to be clinical but certainly not at the expense of the team's system or cohesiveness.

mostob:
You still remember that Chelsea team? They really pepper us. I'm glad we now have the upper hand.

I swear. Dem dey give me Pstd then

I understand some of our fans hating on Tottenham because of the rivalry and sort but personally, to me o, I think it ought to be England's London fans that should be worried about that not we Nigerians.

Na Chelsea normally be my real enemy and Drogba is that "Harry Kane" we ought to be looking at not Kane himself (if you know what I mean )

Finals, Drogba take it from my hands, back to back scorings na him do us well well wey e pepper us, flogging na Dem come dey wipe us( Arsene's 1000th and 500th game in charge, na Dem deal with us with the former being the worst of the worst scoreline).

In football banter and as a Nigerian arsenal fan, na Drogba be the dirty dirt and Chelsea na the dirty spuds

Na why as we don dey beat them, e dey totori me and that 5-0 sweet my Belle well . I just dey hope on more of that hopefully

BlueRayDick:


Anytime I read ur posts about this striker issues ehn, I always smile.

For ur sake, I just hope whomever we sign as striker actually ends up scoring gazillion of goals. U seem so fixated having strikers score tons of goals instead of having a multi-goalscoring team.

Me I prefer Nketiah and Jesus contributing their quota while the while everybody play their part to ship multiple goals past opposing teams.

A clinical Pre-Wc Jesus is what this team needs. There's a big reason we moved from top 4 contender to title contender sharply because of his style of play (I'm not neglecting other players impact tho). But that Pre-Wc Jesus is the epitome of dream striker I've always got in mind when envisioning the kind of striker I want

Good buildup and linkup play outside or inside the box and still be in the box to score or poach goals when the need arises

daveP:
Besides, Laca had Iwobi, Ozil and Ceballos. Iwobi Vision that year was something else ( like asif he was under studying ozil). Plus Laca barely got yellow cards despite how he looked vs defenders. His outside shots are seriously missed.


As for Haaland, he's lucky Arteta is no longer at City. MA for don impress Apari to rest the guy as he's not producing what he ought to. Pep doesn't look so pissed at his game. Haaland is lucky. So, we can still get a Haaland that's hardworking too, but primary duty more the need. We'll fly.

Odegaard and co need a striker that will add to their current hype.

If we are honest, the only best season laca gave us was his first abi second season where he won Arsenal's player of the year. Laca normally have been "just there". Forget abi yellow cards. Anyone who followed Jesus yellow cards on his debut season will know that most was very very harsh.

As for Haaland, I'm looking at his in built attributes. Haaland can't dribble, can't create chance for himself, hardly involves in buildup play(I'm not saying he should do this in midfield sef). These are inherent attributes that can hardly be coached into anybody. He's just the present day Inzaghi with height.

I'm not against a good finisher cos every team needs one but what I think this team needs is a striker who has a balance in both. Think Kane, Suarez, Van Persie. Are you saying a striker of any of this caliber is impossible for us to have?

Trevor012:
Check the date and funny enough i was replying to you. They call me mr consistent for a reason 💪

Lmaoo.
Nobody go tell me say you no edit this stuff. Nice play.
I wish say nairaland go just deh like Whatsapp. No editing after one day

My search early this morning didn't include all these receipts but suddenly all these just pop up on my search like manna from heaven.

You really try trebor

Trevor012:
So world cup performance doesn't matter?

If Wc fully matters, Neuer and not Ronaldo would have won 2014 world best

daveP:
Can we agree that Arteta thought that Nketiah and Jesus will fill up the Lacazette spot, but they really couldn't. I mean primary striker role. So far, the Creator and Finisher combined role doesn't seem to be flourishing with major factors being injury and playing time,plus coach preference. Best season of Laca na 21GA. Same for Jesus(but at man City)

This is not a Laca preference post. Just looking between the lines. Gabriel dived. 26GA in 53games.

Jesus Pre-Wc was bomb. At least the only thing I was even castigating him was scoring goals but even at that it wasn't that very bad.

Jesus post-Wc isn't the same Jesus we all know to love at arsenal plus injury is killing the game time too

I don't mind that combined Creating and finisher striker at all and I still insist that would be perfect for this our setup presently. I believe there's a striker like that and we just need to be hopeful to get one. What I don't think we need is to get a Haaland-type of striker that would be limited in every aspect while just scoring goals. It might be good for his Pr but we might suffer collectively

And yeah there's still a combined Creating and finisher type of striker who can be deadly and still be a game changer. Kane, Van persie, Suarez are very very good examples and that's the kind of striker we need

Trevor012:
So Messi deserved 2010 balon dor?

Yes
Isn't it obvious to everyone who isn't being infected by penaldo virus??

Trevor012:
You are typing like a typical messi dog. Give the balon dor to Snejider, Xavi, iniesta , forlan or even militao in 2010 and no one will complain. Messi stealing the award in 2010 from those guys is the koko.

Oya na
Go give am since Xavi, Iniesta and Forlan deserves balon dor as a player when almost all of them don turn coaches.

What a discovery

Jamiuokolaa:
But in his post, he clearly referenced Spain's win (Xavi and Iniesta) abi na my eye dey pain me?

Lol, yes na your eyes dey pain you (just kidding)

Look at the picture attached below. No Xavi and Iniesta. Na just ystdy Xavi and Iniesta after 13yrs he knew Xavi and Iniesta life matters.

And he thinks we should take him serious

Trevor012:
You must keep the same energy for 2010 and 2023 😎

I have the right to defend Messi 2010 and that's what I'm doing. That's the Crux of the discussion since ystdy

Nothing concern me concern 2023

Trevor012:
Typical example of why we say messi dogs are senseless. Snejider, xavi or iniesta the point remains the same. Messi robbed 2010 balon dor. You know its a fact thats why you can't argue again it.

Stop attaching Xavi and Iniesta like say you dey brandish their Balon dor for years.

This is the real you below. Stop pretending like you cared about Xavi and Iniesta

Penaldo fans and fake love

Trevor012:
You are asking a stupid question. Give the balon dor to Snejider, xavi or iniesta doesn't concern anyone. The koko is Messi should never have won the balon dor in 2010. He is a fat criminal.

See who's talking about stupid question.

When you answer those, then I'll answer you.

No be only you get right to dey ask questions for here while I go dey answer

Trevor012:
You are listing nonsense. Haaland did more than those when messi finished above him in 2023. Try again. Why did messi win balon dor over Snejider, iniesta, xavi, forlan etc

Lmaoo...

Like I said, nothing concern me concern Haaland in 2010

Trevor012:
Typical example of why we say messi dogs are senseless. Snejider, xavi or iniesta the point remains the same. Messi robbed 2010 balon dor. You know its a fact thats why you can't argue again it.

Tell us why it took you 14yrs to know that Xavi and Iniesta deserves Balon dor and no longer Sneijder you brandished for 13yrs?

Show us any reputable site that carried Xavi and Iniesta for head like they did for Sneijder?

If you don't answer this questions, then you're the real shameless one for denying Sneijder after all these years

Ijustwantto:
Pendu robbed Ribery. He is not able to win it since he left the cele house. Him and his fans are now crying that the whole world is against them. Pendu and his fans have just started. But I don't blame them. Na the useless media that keeps forcing the debate just for penaldologist to feel along I blame. They can organize themselves like "pendu fans worldwide" to award haaland his balon dor" unless they will keep crying😜😹.

Leave Dem make Dem dey cry

Trevor012:
What are those nonsense? Didn't haaland have those in 2023. Messi dogs are shameless 😂😂

Wetin concern me concern Haaland.

I'm talking Messi and why he deserves balon dor top 3 in 2010 as you asked.

ABI penaldo fans dey get quick amnesia?

Trevor012:
So basically you have nothing sensible to add that prove your points. During the extended voting each of the player in the 23 man list can be voted for yes or no? I reject any messi dog virus from your life.

Where in the history of balon dor voting have voting been extended immediately after a particular player scored hat trick in a play off round?

So convenient!!

Trevor012:
Change Snejider to xavi and iniesta and the points remain the same. Thats all you got lmao.

I no dey change anything. Everyone knows you and your other penaldo fans are brandishing Sneijder like the 2nd coming of Jesus for over 10yrs

Now you suddenly care about xavi and Iniesta in 2024?


Lmaoo, what delulu cannot cause does not exist

Trevor012:
I am asking you the direct question. Stop being a chicken and answer. Jod.era how did messi finish in top 3 of balon dor 2010?

Here!!!

[quote author=andrewba.ba44 post=130390416]Laliga title

Trevor012:
Shut up. Nothing concern us and snejider. 2010 balon dor can go to Xavi, iniesta,forlan, Snejider, militao for all we care. What we know is messi winning that 2010 balon dor over those names is pure robbery. How messi even made top 3 is the biggest scam of all time.

Werey deh disguise

Trevor012:
So Fifa extended the voting and instructed captain and coaches to vote only Ronaldo? You are beginning to reason like a typical messi dog.

This is just like a match in which 20min was added after 90min when Team A is winning Team B 2-1.

Logically We all know who the 20min ojoro extra time will favor
