I quite agree with you too

true bro

Kbs468:
Arsenal's Bukayo Saka's GCSE results prove he's a bright talent on and off the pitch Mirror.co.uk

him dey write Waec?

Spy360:
Auba has been terrific for us recently. He has shown outstanding leadership both on and off the pitch. His contributions to our current form both on the attacking and defensive sides are quite remarkable. I hope Saka gets to keep this one but Auba he is our best player.

Auba is our best player, but I feel saka deserves it under the month of review. Saka has 3 assist to his name, auba has 3 goals to his name... Both assist and goals were both influential. I feel saka could Nick this!

Saka challenges Aubameyang for Arsenal Player of the Month award

I feel saka deserves it over auba. Saka should get it please

'Good luck to him' - Arsenal fans back the board amid claims of Alexandre Lacazette agreement


Report: Lacazette allowed to leave if Gunners miss out on Champions League

Lol... As long as we get good money. No problem!

Spy360:
Why would Nketiah be starting ahead of Lacazette. [/b]Dude did not even see sub, despite helping to beat Newcastle last time out coming from the bench[b].

why should he come in wen we're grinding out for a win and midfield and defence was under pressure. That will be a luxury sub which we don't need then. Also, the injury to kola also made Arteta to do a forced substitution, so apparently, that might had been the sub for laca, whom unfortunately, saka used.

Also, talking about nketiah benching laca. We all know laca has been underwhelming this past few weeks(months), so someone to make laca as untouchable is OK by me. That will mk him sit up. Also, nketiah isn't doing bad at that role himself

God bless you

@blueraydick was Mustafi before Arsenal bad? [/b]Even Mustafi pre-Emery was not called out this way[b].

if Mustafi had joined this Liverpool team we will be hyping him.

our midfield was shit and most of you chose the easy way out of blaming the defenders.

Even tho I'll agree mustafi wasnt called out this way under Emery, but let us not forget mustafi was error prone even during Wenger last years. I remember wen we signed mustafi, he was a great defender then(highlight was the 3-0 we gave Chelsea then), and we were unbeaten with him. He then got an injury and that's how everything fell apart for him. Always jittery, misplacing passes, keeping players on, even wen his defensive colleagues wanted to keep off side trap. Then Emery came and exacerbated everything.. Lol.

While I'm glad that he's improved tremendously under Arteta, I know the mustafi I once knew, and I pray he doesn't go back to that mustafi again. Lol.

kokanepyramid:
Van Dijk enjoys a stable midfield, if maguire had gone to Man-U they would have been calling him A-class

Nah. I don't believe this. Check Liverpool before van dijk arrival. Then I know I was a good bettor then, and that time, Liverpool hardly kept clean sheets. Even with their so called midfield and attack then, they score goals, but they concede goals very well too. The concession of goals was worrisome that klopp decided van dijk and only van dijk. They wanted to get him Aug then, but soton played hard ball, till Jan wen they finally released him. Even wen it was glaring that soton won't release him then, klopp ensured he doesn't go for another defender unless van dijk
Immediately van dijk came, you could see and feel the impact in Liverpool's defence. They stopped conceding goals much, Matip who was not so good, now looked like a good defender alongside van dijk. Not many players can have such an impact in a team like that (esp in defence).

Maguire and mustafi wouldn't have improved that Liverpool defence the way he did. Van dijk isn't English, there's a reason he was so much hyped like that even tho he isn't English, and that's because of the tremendous impact he had on the Liverpool's defence.

kokanepyramid:
was Mustafi before Arsenal very bad?

Well, I don't know mustafi before arsenal, but I do know van dijk before Liverpool and I always knew he was a very good defender

Expert17:
I am a Goal-keeper whenever i find myself on a football field,....

Luiz is not a good defender, easy to spot...... I will prefer him playing defensive midfield, so that all those errors wont reach 18 yard box

lol...OK.
But me I like the guy sha

Expert17:
Everton attackers were just targeting that Bellerin wing yesterday, he cudnt deal with all that was thrown at him.........

[/b]David luiz shud be thrown out of that club[b]

You just no like this David Luiz. Why?

Oasis007:


Other Room I guess?! LMAO!

I no talk that one sha

pazienza:
Auba plays wing too nowadays.

EPL defenders Mark Mane and Salah well now, that's why you see they are not on top of the table. Kane has had to deal with flying tackles from defenders leading to his injuries recently, Aguero is in and out of treatment room on regular basis as well.
They are all better players than than Rashford.
You really have no point but just sheer emotions.

How many Pks have you won recently? Who is to say he wouldn't have missed half of them?
Once you are marked as a team main goal threat, teams pay special attention to double mark and stop you. Rashford had a good run, but ultimately, teams would have caught up with his style and neutralized him.
[/b]At a point it looked like Vardy was going to run away with the highest goal scorer title, I bet if he was injured, Leceister fans would be saying that he could have been on 25 goals by now[b].
Teams studied his moves and now easily cut him off from his supplies hence his recent drought.
Who is Rashford

This is the absolute truth..

Oasis007:


Not balling..... Your Siggy seems wrong.

...
No be only football I dey ball na...
I dey ball other things!!

Oasis007:
This bolded alone has nullified your Stance Bro.

lol...

Oasis007:
Easy Man..... Not all the time.

this season, I can say all the time. I think the only time I can remember off my head is against west ham. Even nketiah presently is shunting him out wide

afrodoc2:
Now go and sin no more.

Sometimes it is better to sit out a debate if it’s not your area of expertise.

lol, I no I rushed into it. I just remembered that most times rashford played 9 this season was wen martial was injured. My bad

Oasis007:



..... Dropped Gibberish with confidence. wetin Person no dey read for Nairaland.

Expert17:
Martial plays 2 baa ............Oga Martial is the 9, Rashford plays from left wing............

[/b]Auba plays 9 when Lacazette is not in the starting 11[b].....

Nah!!...
This isn't right. Whether laca is in the starting 11 or not, Auba [/b]always[b] play from the wings this season

Oasis007:
Fixed.

You need to stop relying on LiveScore Bro. If indeed you've been following United this Season, I mean watching United Matches on TV set, you wouldn't have said that Shît.

Lolzz...oya no vex

afrodoc2:
Rashford plays 9 ahead of Martial?
Why do you guys like arguing over what you are clueless about?

OK, sorry.

sod09:
can you rate VVD at soton or Celtic?

let's be sincere, even van dijk at soton was very good. Yes the hype now wasn't as it is at soton, but every one who watched him closely at soton knows he was very good. Liverpool elevated his Status(obviously, that's what you get for playing for a big club).
I don't know about Celtic tho, but at soton, he was really great.

Expert17:
[/b]Rashford doesnt play 9 that much, he plays from the wing[b]...............so dnt compare with Vardy and Auba.
EPL defenders dnt mark him before scoring those previous 14 goals ba
also we are winning lot of Penalties so much this season because of our fast forwards, so he would have score 2-3 more goals apart from open play chances

EPL defenders hvnt figure out how to mark kane, aguero, salah and mane after how many years

Does Auba play 9 for arsenal?. Everyone knows rashford plays 9 ahead of martial, so I don't know the wing you said rashford plays?
When rashford was fit, who plays 9 ahead of him? Lingard? Lol..

Spy360:
The third paragraph you are referring to isn't my point.

I am not saying we should be like RBL, but that we should adopt their footballing ideology. Off course similar to the Wenger days when we won the league thrice and got to the CL finals.

Of course...I know you're not saying we should be like RBL, but copy their approach. But that will be from the functions of good scouts and good technical football director, coupled with a sound coach. Also, in copying their model, we need 1-2 top players(winners), if not, we'll just be like another Tottenham.

BlueRayDick:
My bad!

I just have this terrible habit of confusing some names for each other. I actually confused Salzburg with Leipzig.

But even talking about Leipzig, they are just like the leicester of Germany....the only difference being they couldn't win the league that season they were flying. Nothing has changed after then....they've only been added to one of the teams where bayern poach their players.

Funny enough, they might be unable to win anything provided bayern is not relegated in Germany

Lol...I get what you're saying, that's why I said the approach you brought up on your 3rd paragraph is what we should be looking at. Tie down our great prospects, get unknown stars also and buy 1-3 top players and with a sound coach, we'll be up there in no time. Cos presently, we're no longer a poached team unlike b4 under the guise of building emirate stadiums.

BlueRayDick:
At the end of the day, they still don't win anything aside their local league(which is not even among the top 5 leagues in Europe). We on the other hand are playing in a league where more than half of the 20 teams in the league have sizable amount of funds to invest in buying players. I mean look at a team like Wolves that has about 3 to 4 regular starters in Portugal on their team list. Na money be dat.

This ur suggestion is like wishing Wenger days repeat itself. Football has gone beyond paying next to nothing for young crop of talents, grooming them into superstars, selling some for profit and keeping the ones that like to stay.

It is best we bring in youngsters like Saka & co groom them alongside spending good money to bring quality players. Even Loserpool that is halfway tru to lifting the EPL spent money in getting a world class keeper and a decent defender in Van Djik.

I think you're mistaking RB Leipzig with RB Salzburg. Spy was talking about the German team.

Tho, your contribution on the 3rd paragraph is exactly my thoughts too. That's the only way we can move forward.

Expert17:
Am not surprised at all, am talking to arsenal fan, always low expectation,.......
Because Arsenal doesnt have a replacement for David luiz doesnt change the fact that he is a flop................. [/b]A defender that cant enter chelsea weak backline[b], is now the star man at arsenal
14 tackles won all season
0 last man tackles
3 penalties conceeeded
For the aerial battles u are shouting about,....36 won this season......so whats your point
Short and Long passess you are talking about ....0 assists

Look at the defenders around him, Mustafi, Sokratis, chambers, etc........claiming boss at a club that lacks a proper CB.

And for cebalos, he cant make it into Arsenal 11.

The bolded is cos lampard doesn't want him cos they were colleague for many years and not because he can't enter into that weak back line.

For all the stat you'll bring, he's still instrumental to arsenal defence this season. Can he be improved upon? yes. Is he a fraud? No.

As for ceballos, claiming he can't break into arsenal midfield that makes him a flop is shallow of you. We all know he's good, and he displayed that yesterday. But of cos, I know you'll say he flopped ystdy cos he neither had goal nor assist.

Expert17:
If u dnt know David luiz is a fraud this season, it means u dnt watch arsenal match....
*check his error leading to goals
*penalty given away
*how many clean sheet
* he is the senior figure in Arsenal back-line, he cant coordinate his fellow defenders

Pogba hvnt played much this season, u are calling Cebalos, even when he is fit, he cant make Arsenal starting 11,......
Check players that are always injured,
* cheat in training
*unhealthy life style
* Party after party

When you said someone is a fraud, it means the person is so bad compared to the expectations people are expecting. In as much David luiz have all those start you mentioned above, he's still key to arsenal defence this season, I'm not sure any of arsenal fan will want him dropped from the squad cos of the other attributes he brings. Aerial duels, long/short range passing and all. So he isn't a fraud.

Also, ceballos, aside the Liverpool game which he underwhelmed, ceb haven't flopped in any game. In fact, most arsenal fan b4 ystdy game was clamouring for his inclusion into the first team, to show you the importance he is to the team.

But well I don't blame you...when you spend the whole time looking at stats instead of actually watching games, this is the kind of result one would expect.

Expert17:
Biggest Fraud this season
1. Hazard
2. Griezman
3. Pogba
4. Pepe
5. Kepa
6. Martial
7. David Luiz
8. De Gea
9. Sanchez

Spain will suffer in this year Euro competition because of this 2 stupid Goalies

How is David luiz a fraud? And how's ceballos who was out for 3 months injury and prior that was getting some active minutes be paired with lingard?
Na wa to you o.

Yesterday was a match to behold. I just can't believe this is the arsenal(of the 2nd half) we've been missing for a long time. Geez!. Credit goes to Arteta and I feel the winter break did wonders. Now to my talking points.

1... Saka deservedly man of the match. He was one of the really stand out players in the first half wen most underwhelmed then he duly capped it with an exceptional 2nd half display. It would have been unfair on him if he wasn't given.

2.. Who notice Pepe made runs behind the defence in the 2nd half of the game? Unlike what we've been seeing of him prior to ystdy game where he wait for ball to the feet. I hope he keeps it up, then more goals and assist will surely come from him.

3... I've always be vocal about ceballos starting and ystdy just proved my point. Our midfield was so in sync and very very fast. Ozil, mehn, I think that was his best game post Wenger. The midfield hardly gave Newcastle midfield any chance to breath at all.

4... Also our organization in defence and midfield was great. The on/off the ball movement was really a great sight.
Also I love the way we kept possession and passing the ball around going 2 goals up. It really while away time and the same time tire them off

5... Auba is really great. Stepped up wen you needed him most. His goal really opened up the game.

Hope this is a new dawn for us and the beginning of Something new.
COYG!!!

DeadPresidents:
As honest as I can put it, our project is attractive on financial terms and the prospects of being amongst those who rejuvenate the fallen giant.

If that is deemed attractive by Saka, then fine.

[/b]I personally don't think we have the pull we used to have. Almost everyone will pick winning trophies over being part of a rebuild[b].

Well...thanks for this honest answer. What you gave is the reason why we all think issa rumor, not because you guys are stocked on the left wing...but because you guys are almost in the same ship as us. So even if it's martinelli(for example) you guys might wanna tempt, I don't see it working out, cos that pull factor you guys have is waning...

DeadPresidents:
Lol. Just saying the rumors are ridiculous because we have no need for the player. Some bumpkin started talmbout top clubs.

And P.S United are a top club. An underperforming one, but still.

yeah everyone understands it's a ridiculous news.

I understand that man u are underperforming for the past few seasons now, so also is arsenal. But I want to ask, and I need a sincere answer.

Let's assume saka plays the wing that you guys lack, do you think you guys still have that pull to pry him away from us, just as you did van persie?
