even if arteta field in 11 willians, he will still come out victorious.

arteta is ole worst nightmare just as mourinho was wenger worst nightmare

hmmm.... I would just advice you to never be overconfident.

Hopefully we will win tho.

Chatbot1234:
good morning gooners, are you guys also scared about today's game
because i dey fear arteta oh.

I'm just waiting for lineup to see if our main winning team will play (aside auba which is confirmed won't play). So fingers crossed till then

If this is true then the boy and his agent can fvck off....radarada

News like this dey vex me to read. Not because of balogun himself (weda he did it or not), but because of its inauthenticity. Sometimes I don't know why people will just make false claims just to make sure news is transmitted even if it means destroying someone's image or reputation

That's how before aubameyang broke the silence of him taking care of his mom. Days before that, I read in one stupid site that the reason he was away from the team and the "family issues" he was dealing with was that he was having issues with his wife cos his wife caught him cheating.

Just imagine that made rounds just before he released the main actual statement.

Sometimes, I don't take news seriously until I see it in 2-3 different site confirming same thing and at least one of the sites must be a reputable site.

Spy360:
My suggestion is to play Benfica with the likes of Willock, Elneny, AMN, Nketiah i.e most of our second string players and boost them with some performing U21 players hungry for relevance eg Azeez, Balogun, Moller etc.

Let the first team and other fringe players focus on the two league games within that quarantine period.

But it will also mean that the same players who would travel to Benfica would not be available for the return leg in London, this may include the Benfica players too. UEFA has to either play the game in a neutral venue or postpone the second leg.

I don't think so, if they'll come to England, they'll have to be tested to see if they're negative, if they're not, either the match will be postponed or those who are negative will play. That's how it is.

Anyways we'll watch and see the decision that will be made

Leyqute:
Yeah.

Funny enough Tuanzebe was in the team for both goals. He’s an easy scapegoat.

The main problem is players not taking responsibility on the pitch.

Maguire, as the captain, should be sniffing out these actual threats and telling his players to snuff it out instead of pointing at no-threats and trying to do everything by himself.

Maybe he's not the vocal type.

Maybe that's why Bailey Maguire partnership works well, cos Bailly is more aggressive and vocal.

I think it mignt be more of a blessing than a curse because the teams that we are to play in the premier league are both tough and the boys havenot gotten enough rest to cool off after the congested decemberfixtures.


atleast the 10 days qurantine will definitely keep the boys fresh for the remaining premiere league fixtures

I don't understand
EPL will postpone fixture for you for involvement in Europa and contracting covid19? Like it's not as if it's involving an EPL domestic league o, but another body(uefa involvement).

No think am ooo... EPL will never postpone fixtures for us

Unlimited22:
That Istanbul Basaksehir goal Shaa.


Up till now I never still understand am. No be say Na dying minute and they need goal badly or anything.

Me too, I still deh wonder how e take happen.

Even big teams that do underrate small teams never looseguard to that extent at such an early time

Leyqute:
It was very annoying. They were all expecting Sheffield to play rubbish so that they can go on and attack again. They all switched off. Ball watching.

The guy was inside the 18yard box and unmarked. All of dem just dey look. No one took responsibility. That’s the most annoying part.

That's the wonders of you guys defence this season.
The Sheffield 2nd goal and the 1st goal of Istanbul basaksehir will stand out as one of the most comical goals conceded by a top team this season

BikeMan:
You said he bottled just as much. What does that mean? That’s a direct comparison.

Klopp also didn’t have the luxury of spending in his early days. Ole has spent almost 300m to losing semi-finals and get knocked out of the UCL group stage.

Yeah... It skipped my memory they reached SF in carabao this season wen I made that statement

But all the same, cup is easier to win than league(anybody can win/reach final in domestic cup), so weda he spends heavily or not, he can still win a cup(fa or carabao). That's just what I'm saying.

So, it's not right to rule him out especially wen he's been consistently reaching semifinals.

Leyqute:
Well said. Coach error. When was the last time Tuanzebe kicked a ball for United? But TBH, the whole defense were at fault for that second goal. TZB is just the scapegoat.

Also, Maguire needs rest. The more games he plays, the slower he gets. He should be the one to miss this game.

it's Maguire that needs a rest, but it's surprising lindelof was the one rested. I mean there are some matches this season Bailey rested lindelof so I don't see why lindelof is resting for that match except maybe he has niggling injury.

More so, I agree with you, tuanzebe was just the scapegoat, but that 2nd goal was damn comical. The yards of space, everyone ball watching... Mehn!!

KingAlabi:
Jodera we need that arsenal win oh
Make this joezinho enter wilderness again

omo, if winning us go make am go wilderness, make he kukuma camp for here bdat oo. After all he's a man u fan, if man u fan no fit dey safe for their thread, na for wilderness him go safe??

KingAlabi:
My guy defending ole!!!

@bolded, na wetin dey weak me be that, this guy wasn't here since all the winning streak, ole lost bam, he came back with full force

Lol... I guess you because of the over expectation of winning the league that triggered it.

Joezinho:
You’re literally comparing ole to Klopp dfkm..
Klopp proved it at Dortmund Ole hasn’t proved anything at the top level.
Ole bottles the CL group while top. Ole failed at 4 semi finals (twice to the same team)
Ole has been here almost 3 years and achieved 0.
It took Klopp at least three seasons to bottle 3 Finals ( League Cup '16, UEL '17 & UCL '18)
Ole has bottled 4 Semis (not Finals) in 13 months, He hasn't even made it to a final yet.

Those who were calling klopp bottler forgot that line I bolded that you spoke of, ...

But that's by the way. I'm not comparing klopp with ole(everyone know who be boss btw the two), what I'm just saying is that ole is still in the competition for all cup competitions, he not yet exited prior the s/final, so who says he can't go one or two step further?

In cup competition, anybody can win it, so you can't rule anyone out. And as long as he's still in the competition, and still challenging for EPL(technically and presently he is), then there's no justification to call for his sack.

That's just my thoughts

Leyqute:
And na bad results Dey Piqué your interest ba?

.

I don't remember coming here wen you guys lost your 3 last matches in cl.

I wouldn't even have commented if joezinho didn't bring up the "ole can't win any cup cos he lost 4s/finals".

ChristineC:
yeah well fans will always be fans.
some Liverpool fans called for the sack of Klopp last week so

as for the game against Sheffield United, Ole changed two players who hasn't really played much in defense. it seem like underrating an opponent but again if he can't give minutes to some against the team at the foot of the table, I don't know where else.

let's hope he gets the reward of resting defenders against the gunners tho

Lol... Tbh, I won't fault for starting telles tho, but starting tuanzebe is a no no. I don't see the reason why tuanzebe should be starting any match for you guys wen lindelof is not injured. Aa for the other players, it's just a bad day in the office. It can happen. I don't see it as underrating but rotating of squad at the right time. It just unfortunately backfired.

Well, I just hope una reward na next week sha, cos we don already book appointment this Saturday for our winning . So no just look that side

BikeMan:
”He bottled just as much”

Why are so untruthful in your defense for a fraud? Koop lost only two finals at Liverpool. Ole has lost 4 semi-finals, never made a final.

Klopp lost carabao(Carling cup), uel and cl.(final)
Ole lost uel, carabao*2, fa cup (s/finals).

Show me the lies??

I never said ole made a final... Read to comprehend not to attack abeg

Leyqute:
This Jodera only comes out fully when United get a bad result.

I don't understand what you mean by "come out fully"?

I only speak on any discussion that pique my interest and nothing more

Joezinho:
Chelsea are an ambitious club, they've sacked Frank because they believe he can't take them to the next level, and here is man united still keeping ole, thinking he's gonna win them a trophy..

What was lampard and ole position prior to lampard's sacking?

Joezinho:
So you are saying we should be patient with this Wally?
I dont think you watch man utd games. If you do, you won't want ole to spend a min inside Carrington.
That's why i don't get fans who put much blame on martial, yes the player is out of form, but most of the blame should be directed towards the manager, only ole knows why he always plays martial.

I'm neither saying you should be patient or not. What I'm just saying is that no reasonable club will sack ole midway the way they sack lampard. Not wen one is still presently challenging for the league and in cup competitions and lampard is having series of losses and draws.

Also, the reason I engaged you was you saying ole can't win a cup cos he bottled s/f that's why I referenced klopp whom most insulted too cos he bottled finals.

KingTom:
Sir, you don't get it. If given more time, Emery would've won the league I'm sure of it. All he needed was time. For who can say where the road goes, where the day flows... Only time.

Lol... In football results is all that matters las las.

Before this season started, your aim was top4 and a trophy. He's in big contention for top4 and he's still in 2 more competitions for trophy. So I ask, On what basis will it be justifiable to sack him?. Like some of your guys here says, give him till end of season to see what's up.

Emery wasn't even in contention for top4 by October and result was getting worse. He's justified for getting a sack.

That's the two key difference why one was sacked and one is still in the job.

In fact, after the loss to arsenal, when last did you have a league loss prior to Wednesday?.

ChristineC:

Lol, I can still remember that arguments here vividly. How klopp was a big time bottler esp in finals.
Fast forward two year from then, and klopp's team is now a reference team of how most wants their team to play both in winning mentality and grinding out results

KingTom:
I like your spirit brother, I'm one of those who felt Emery should've been given more time

Emery was sacked wen he was outside top 10(if I'm not wrong).

But you guys want let them sack ole wen he's in top4. Who does that?

Since wen ole came, they've been improvement in league standing(for man u)....
Until something drastic happens, I don't see the justifiable reason why you feel they should sack ole

Joezinho:
This is what Ole has done to our fanbase. Alabi that's one of the brightest here is still thinking of winning a trophy under this gollum.
We've bottled so many semi finals under him that now we've started to enjoy a week being top. "Spoiled Fan".
We can do what exactly? Qualify for UCL or win a trophy?

same way Liverpool fans(and some fans here) then were insulting klopp for bottling finals. He bottled finals just as much ole was bottling s/f now, but now we can see how klopp is the next best thing after sliced bread.

If they've sacked him then without being a little patient, he would have been called a failure without actually noting the improvements

Spy360:
It's a UEFA decision. I believe they don't want to contribute to the spread of covid19 or endanger the goodwill the game enjoys in this critical time when someone people have even suggested another halt in sporting activities.

Still... Would that be at the detriment of the opposition team.

If they find out benfica is a hotspot for covid19, then the best bet is to push their European adventure to a neutral ground na. How will a team play them, then get quarantined for 2weeks, does it makes sense?

BlueRayDick:
Is this for real or just mere rumors

it's true.

But arsenal is in talks to move it to neutral ground.
I hope we'll be successful with it, cos I don't see why they would want to handicap arsenal when actually, it's not our fault.

kokanepyramid:
We need to pummel those scummies hard, hang their legs for shoulder knack them.

Lol... Any hope I'll have in that match is if we're complete or almost complete, else, I won't have full confidence oo

Roland17:
I think KT will be fine for Saturday but I am not sure about ESR and Partey!

Ok, thanks for the info.

I read today that they'll access them and give feedback either today or tomorrow.

Fingers crossed then!

kodded:
Ö = Ø

attcking Midfielder from real madrid choosing No 11

MÒ11=MØ11.

Still no news about smith Rowe and Partey?
I just hope this silence means they're fit and that the sub against Southampton was just a precaution.

I also hope KT is back for the weekend game.

KingAlabi:
