Which one amongst Emery’s signings is doing exceptionally well.

of all his signings, I'll give it to guendouzi. Even though he has his flaws but his never say die attitude and confidence and passion really edges his flaws here. Coupled with the fact that he's improved. Torreira ought to be, but since he's playing him out of position and have not really been impressive, then, presently, guendouzi wins it for me

Roland17:
We all must not forget that Saka just turned 18 last month so we have to be very careful with how much expectation and pressure we place on him. We have to keep him hungry and not complacent. We also have to protect him from injuries/ early burnout by managing his appearances because injuries stunt or completely stop the growth of promising talents like Saka. The good thing is it looks like he has great conditioning and is durable but considering his direct style of play, I would not be shocked if opponents start rough tackling and game-planning for him.

We have to understand that opposing teams had little or nothing to game plan for Saka before the season started but as he gets game time, opposing teams would have resources to game plan against him and that includes dangerous plans as we saw against the shameless Stoke City United yesterday. I want my boy to have a long career with us because he is such a special player whom I had been raving about the kid from the day I saw him play for U18 & U23.

True talk. I think that's what stalled Walcott's growth, Chamberlain's growth here also and to an extent, maybe diaby. Placing pressure on youngsters and not allowing them to mature is exposing them to risk of burnouts and injuries from opposition clubs. But wetin we go do, when people like Pepe who suppose to make their transition into the first team gradually successful is there flopping and also Nelson don't want to take his chance. If those duo continue like that and saka keeps on improving (especially gaining strength on the ball), then I think we won't have any option that to be using him o. Another person I'm keeping my eyes on is martinelli

I want to see numbers not technique and control.

Techniques and control does not win u games, goals and assists do.

Lampard has his goals, wot is Scholes exceptional attribute @ spillo

Na all this thing dey pain pass! The same stick wey him use cast lampard, him dey fear use am for scholes. Lol.
When he was casting lampard, he didn't know there's something like indomie generation...

Seriously... Is this how Pepe was playing in Lille or is it just that he's short on confidence? Cos I can't understand how a player can be so sub-par. Even the take ons he was known for, he's shying away from it. He's gifted chances, even by saka, yet he scuffs his shot like an amateur. It's really sad. He needs to pick up please.

I think I'll so join Emery out band wagons. We're so insipid in our play. Very frustrating play, immediately we're losing, we started pressing man u, before and after the goal, it was man u pressing us. It's as if we're looking for draw, this isn't look like someone who wants to take us to the top.
Special thanks to Guen and saka. Auba is Gold at the moment. Chambers just showed why Niles needs to be sitting on the bench
Unto the next match sha. Coyg

Fkhalifa:
I feel similar, it would turn out good if Saka does a Sane/Sterling and he be the surprise wonder of the season, or if Nelson hit an unbelievable form, aside that, fans will miss Iwobi at some point.. Deploying Auba or any midfielder there will make our attack blunt..Also Iwobi was a game changer from the bench,we do not have that personality ATM.

what you said up there is so on point. How I wish emery will make saka and nelson to fight for that spot, then one of them will surely be a breakout star this season.
Let's keep our finger crossed for today's match sha. I really really hope to see saka and chambers starting. We need max 3 points now that man u are somehow available ( tho, I'm not underrating them esp at old Trafford)

BlueRayDick:
I don't know if it's too early to say this or it appears to be an unpopular opinion,but I think selling iwobi for good money (despite his inconsistent form Over the past 3-4 years) and having a natural winger(Saka) tho a youth still have go at the left wing; appears to be decision that makes sense to me

I'm only happy if we sold Iwobi and Emery gives saka chance for him to show his worth (which I pray and hope he'll) or Nelson take that spot. Or both are fighting for that sole spot, then I believe it's a great decision. But if after selling him, Emery is still confused and start putting midfielder there, then it's a wrong decision. I just feel the greatest decision made sha, was loaning out mkhi, cos with him still in that team, no hope for saka or Nelson.

https://uc.xyz/eokQd?pub=link [FIFA Best Awards: Scandal as countries, captains insist they didn't vote for Messi - Daily Post Nigeria] is good,have a look at it!

VargasVee:
Here's Cristiano listed as a midfielder in Fifpro 11. I believe that was the same year he won Premier League top assists.

I remember Clarence S, Pirlo, Xavi were all nominated.

Y'all need to pipe down on the Hazard hate. He's an Ex-Chelsea player now.

Wait C Ronaldo as a midfielder, while dinho as a winger?

Wow. This is serious. Saka Starts!!!
I'm loving this..

Couldn't watch the match. Hardly watch Europa group stage match tho. But from the comments and reactions here, it's believed we really played well. I'm happy for saka, even tho I didn't watch him, but a goal and 2 assist in your first competitive game this season speaks a lot on the potential he has. Heard he took on his Man and he's fearless. That's the kind of performance most of us was expecting from Nelson (not comparison him tho). Good clean sheet by the way, with a defence of luiz and mustafi is surprising on paper. Can't say much, cos rightly, I didn't watch the game. Just happy for the lads, and the positivity it might bring to the team. Unto the next game. COYG.

Fkhalifa:
That boy go sweet to whyne baje, he's like Diego Costa, small pinch,he'll flare up and explode,boom and that's a red card.

Emery don make Everybody now blood dey hot now o. So flaring up from any angle is expected.

Swissh:
Are you a United fan . Bros allow me to vent my anger on those cheating scums

. Na now you talk na. Sorry, I bin no catch d drift.

Spy360:
And for the sake of Amadioha, never play AMN as right back. The puke is just getting worse in a geometrically increasing measure.

Can't mark, can't tackle, can't cover space, can't even stand still and block, can't run, can't do nothing.

if we can try chambers there, it'll be better. He's (Chambers), have played there on several occasions in his first season at arsenal. The worst thing about AMN is that, you don't even know which one will turn up. And even when the good side turns up, he'll still lose focus once in a while. He needs competition

kokaneprodigy:
whatever you say, no Emery out form for you.
Form don close.

Swissh:
I disagree some were debatable And the game where they didn't get a penalty they had a man sent off against them. Those scums are cheaters.

Chelsea, wolves, crystal palace or Leicester, which one of them is really debatable, cos all four truly looked deserved.

kokaneprodigy:
in fact form application don close.

How e go close wen season just dey start. Abeg o, we're waiting till October, which na d deadline day, b4 e close o

Swissh:
So wait United have been awarded four penalties so far this season.
The rest teams Combined have been awarded a total of ten penalties so far this season, which means that the scum have received 40% of all those given this season. When you have a diving merchant like James it's to be expected.

to be sincere, all four are deserved. Even d James never cause any pk sef if I remember

Spy360:
Our defending was poor beginning from the midfield. It's a no brainer why we lost a two goal lead.

Attack- OK
Midfield - Bad
Defence - Terrible

Emery's game management is really poor. An average manager could have seen off that game after 45mins.

in all, with a good manager, we suppose to have a good attack, a great midfield, and an OK defence(for now). But what we have is just as you summed it up. I've never seen a match we've always dominated, esp diz season. From what I noticed, I think Emery just came to arsenal to play North London derby, cos that's the only match we tend to play well and the players are alwaysshowing a fight in 2 seasons straight.

sod09:
These are the people that want to shove nonsense into our throat.
Imagine Emery that have used full season with we should wait till October, Anytime guen had a good game we will be seeing different snide remarks against those that are not convinced yet.
So let's call out each other when we fvck up

it's that Emery pattern dey pain me pass. Up till now, no definite pattern. Midfield, one of the worst systematically, I've ever seen. I mean, man-to-man I feel our midfield is better than Liverpool's own, but we're playing like hull city. Defence shambolic, and in-game tactical mgt, almost zero. It's just so bad. If in a year, no Definite plan, then where are we heading to?

Swissh:
Most of the goals we have conceded this season are due to individual mistakes.
It was almost as if we were determined to gift them a goal. They repeatedly refused our hospitality until finally, we made them an offer they couldn't refuse.

But Bros, don't you think it's the system of play causing it rather than just individual mistakes? According to stats, since the beginning of last season, no team have made more errors leading to goals than arsenal. This is more to system based error other than just individual errors since it's always recurring and most blames have to fall on the feet of Emery.

sod09:
This is where we will find you always bringing up padded stats just to console yourself. Either you bring Alan fucking nobody shearer fantasy just to praise your home boy.
If we talk now you will tag us hater, between me and you who wants the success of them when all you care about is stats.
You once said you prefer good play than trophies why am I even surprised...shior

Haba Sod09 my guy, na just lighthearted mood him just dey, he didn't bring it up to defend Emery or anything. I would even say he's just lightly trolling, mk e no be like say na so so wail everybody dey wail. You suppose catch d trips na. Lolzz

kokaneprodigy:
Sod09 whatever u do, do not sell Emery out form to Solo and Spy.

. Are you saying no repentance for them by fire by water?

kokaneprodigy:
Sod09 if Emery out form still dey abeg give this guy one copy bill on me.

Seriously, i fit no mind filling that form now o. Tho sha, my hope for Emery is very very slim now. But I still get small hope sha

Fkhalifa:
I'll quote you again next week God's willing, its a sure banker thing

abi. Na Emery dey cause all this things.

Today's match is one of the most annoying match I've ever watched under Emery. If we had lost, I feel I would have been happier sef cos we really deserve a lose here big time. How he set up a midfield and Xhaka as your base 4 is really a recipe for disaster, especially wen you have attacking fast players like deleofeu, sarr, and later pereyra. Midfield was so disjointed, that it always look as a free way, wen they are attacking us. No interception, or tackles there. If midfield is so so porous, how will defence not crack under pressure?. Getting to defence, why must we always pass back, even wen they know they're always crowded, yet, they must still pass back. Why is Emery always stubborn to that, even Manchester city sef, doesn't pass compulsorily under pressure. Haba.!!!!!!.
Talking about Subs, how will you remove ceballos and Ozil wen you're a goal up, and under pressure. No creativity, and no ball carrier in that midfield. And who was one of your introductions was "freaking Nelson", how then do we intend to score and maintain attack? I don't even know the need for introduction of willock in that midfield, when you still need ceballos. It's just frustrating watching today's game.
Today my support for Emery is at its lowest ebb. No more support again, just hoping for the best.
And abeg, Xhaka should just get injury abeg, if that's d only way person no go dey see am for match.

Fkhalifa:
Jodera I hope you can see what I said that day?

Goonermind:
He has the ability to beat his man, and hes much more direct and a bigger goal threat than Iwobi. Scoring any type of goal is still a goal and Auba can testify to that. Okay i may have overstated that he's vastly superior to iwobi but the fact is he is better than Iwobi. How far better is the discussion.

Lets not forget Iwobi isn't an Arsenal player again but Reiss Nelson is and we should be hopeful he becomes our next wilshere or Fabregas in fulfilling potential.
To clarify, i mean a good talent that can break into the first team and move us up.... Afterall many current stars broke into their teams even when there were established senior players and made the position theirs.
Please can u read the article and tell your opinion on it.

For now, Reiss isn't better than Iwobi. Yes, he might grow to be better than Iwobi, but for now, he's not better. Both is good as sub players for arsenal tho. Both Nelson has to do lot better to break into that squad, now that LW is probably vacant. See willock as he's grabbing his chance. Nelson should just try improve o

seankafor:
how would u rate liverpool frontline from ascending order?
For me
Mane
Salah
Firmino respectively.

I'm not rating any one over the other. If you're watching Liverpool game well, you'll find out there's a synergy between those 3. They all make Liverpool attack fluid, especially firmino connect. They interpret their role well both individually and as an attacking system. Watch Liverpool attack without firmino, and you'll see as attack is dull, same also wen mane or salah is missing. To me, no one in that frontline is greater than the other. Watch Chelsea game (super cup final) and see the kind of cohesion those 3 had with firmino and how attack was without firmino. And that wasn't a one-off.

wman:
I swear. They will bring out Firmino's stats and tell us he was the most useless striker in Liverpool's main premier league era. They will say he was a carry along.
They will state that he missed the Champions League final because he was scared of facing Tottenham.

They will tell us how useless Harry Kane was because he failed to carry Tottenham and England to any final.

They'll tell us that Sergio Aguero was only dominant in England and failed to achieve much in the Champions League where the big boys party.

They'll bring up Kante's stats and tell us that Ndidi had more tackles than him. They'll say Kante failed to boss the world cup final and he had to be subbed because he was carried by Pogba.

It's a never ending circus. Clowns everywhere.

What a shame.

Perfectly put bro. What a shame Bro. What a shame!..

I'm waiting for a day in this thread when someone will tell me firmino is not one of the keys to Liverpool success, that he was a great carry-along by mane and salah. Na Ogun go strike that hand typing that.

All this stuff they pop up when one relies on stats to analyse game. If someone watch lampard is his heydays and says he contributes nothing aside goals(which of course na d major components in today's game), then dey suppose ban that person for blasphemy.

Branzy:
One day we will read here Ronaldinho, Yaya, rooney is over rated here. Nothing we no go see. Many people here are embarrassment to football

wait in 10yrs time. We'll all see how dinho was really a shaku shaku player and how he used polling booth to win world best player. When I weak for here is wen I read someone type " de Lima is massively overrated". Haba, even if person no no ball, De Lima? Lol.

Swissh:
The contention here is People translating "An all time great" to mean "Greatest of all time" which is inaccurate and those examples prove it.



Its just common sense.

...and from the definition I gave, using the dictionary, how was that different from the "GOAT"? Spillo, talked about some of the greats in football, which isn't wrong using his examples. But from all the definitions(even aside the Collins dictionary,) still gave same definition as same as that of "overall achieved" in relations to his contemporaries, both past and present at that instant time.
