Seeing Liverpool current forwards(aside Salah), one can't help but appreciate Mane and Firmino.

Dundalk:


Comrade

That's yakubu ayegbeni brother

Abeg na, no insult yakubu.

Yakubu never do this consistently

rooftops:
Hahahaha, that is how worse this guy is.
The only positive I see in him right now is that he is not hiding from ball. He dey show for ball and display his madness for HD.
I remember morata and Werner's time when their profligacy was crazy, Dem come dey hide from ball

True, he doesn't hide.
That's a positive and if he gets the his scoring right then he'll be deadly.

I don't just know if he'll sha.

Him and Nunez I no know who chop goals pass

daveP:
Spy is still content with the 80+ goals we get. I have never said e no dey sweet belle. Just that we need an experienced or dangerous 9 that will be the difference on nights everything complex doesn't work, when we chose to go direct. The team os already setup for any sensible 9 to score 30 and I'm not even exaggerating. That arrival will even take away attention from our tired wingers too. Me i can't wait.

I heard some new RVPs are in Eredivisie. But they're all lads for now.

We need new correct striker that can impose himself and make things happen.

Bayern game made me realize we need someone that's clinical and not easily bullied.

Havertz only play well when arsenal does

Spy360:
Kane is already a true 9. He does not even drops deep because he is always their most forward player.

You are saying this because you saw Kane holding ball against Arsenal. But forgetting that they were playing in a low block. Kane was still their farthest player.

When you say a striker drops deep, it means he is no longer the farthest player.

Van Persie was not originally a striker. He was converted by Wenger just as Henry. But under Ferguson he was a true 9. Man United bought him as a true 9.

All these is just grasping at straws especially in Rvp own. I just no wan bring up Kane evidence sef

I showed you evidence from professionals including his coach and himself saying he played as a false 9 in straight terms and you're writing long English.

Once you have made up your mind, even if thief tell you say na him steal am, you go still try to interpret the "stealing" the thief used all so that you must claim W.

Na you sabi

rooftops:
You missed out the other miss by our world class striker Jackson in the second half.

Just a question, can a player like Jackson improve his goalscoring ability to like Tammy Abraham's level?

This Is dark bro

mostob:
Well... I no too like the guy sha. Nothing personal o... I don't just fancy him.

It's no ish then

mostob:

I'll check him on YouTube.
Network has been poor recently so I was unable to stream their matches.

Okayy boss

We go dey wait

mostob:
I don't find them scary anymore TBH. They're more like a one-man team. Take out Bissouma and Son and everything go fall.

I'm not being complacent o...make we sha take all the three points whether na 1-0 or 2-1.

Lol... I understand.

Me too sha, make we just win. Naim be the koko.

I just hope Man City just draw any match. I no know how e wan take happen but make e just happen

mostob:
The Palmer sef, na penalty he dey use guide.

They were just signing every every players without any plan. Funny thing was that they signed players for Potter, sales Potter and hired Poch.

Penalty na just for banter. That guy is more than penalties ooo.

If to say we just carry 50m buy am instead of Havertz, only God know where we for dey now but I know even know whether Man city for gree sell.

Roland17:
We are limited and play poorly whenever Rice plays DM. We struggle to open up our offense from deep or the middle whenever Rice plays from there.

Also, I don’t want a Chelsea situation with Enzo/ Caicedo.

I believe the main reason we play poorly is not really because of Rice at DM but it's because of Havertz in midfield. Havertz no get Midfield awareness, no half turn, not creative and not press resistant. We suffer because we're big minus one in midfield which is where our game revolve.

Granted, Rice greatest asset is away from DM but he's not bad there at all. Na just say na two legs we get instead of 3.

I know how many times he's won and dominated Midfield even in the DM position this season.

Na just Havertz dey cast that Midfield up reason why I no wan see am anywhere near that place

mostob:
True... especially in a game where all their strikers only got a single shot on target. The shame go much.

You Sabi am

mostob:
I once mentioned Kane as my preferred striker because he is efficient. But for now, I can't think of any striker that fits the requirements.

Try dey watch the Gyokeres na come dey give us feedback. Be our scout

mostob:
Spy and conspiracy na 5 and 6. Imagine the excuse he is citing na

That one no dey freak me again

Nothing beats the excuse of Havertz missing that one on one against Liverpool. Since that day, I come deh take am easy with Spy

mostob:
How far about Spurs? What do you think?

We're on a high so I believe we might nick something out.

It's a difficult place and Spurs na real Jekyll and Hyde but if same lineup of ystdy still starts, then I'm confident of a win. A slim win tho

mostob:
Na Havertz I wan make he score hattrick as per say na his former club.

White scoring an hattrick would have been a big statement sha.

How far about Spurs? What do you think?

Na White own for enter. Havertz scoring hattrick for just be normal beef.
Imagine a defender scoring hattrick. Now that would have run for ages

mostob:
Anytime I think of the talents Dem dey waste for that club, I go just dey vex. See Romeo Lavia na... Better player that should be balling for a serious club by now. Let's not even start with the academy boys they're not even playing.

That club eh..

Their plans no just materialize.

The owners too play master league for game sotey him think say him fit replicate am na real life.

They should just thank God for Palmer this season, I wonder how dem for survive

iamoyindamola:
Yes
Long may their woes continue

mostob:
How about we get someone that can score goals, play as an AM and still act as decoy? Wouldn't be bad right?

That's why I'm propagating for someone like Kane or Rvp clones oo.


We go too bad. All these our CF now just get one limitations or the other.

GJ started brightly there last season, I remember raving about him first few weeks of last season. Before you know, he started turning simple things difficult

mostob:
Well..if you say so. The goal was too clear to be a mistake ni

E sweet me sha

It would have been cold If White scored a hat trick

iamoyindamola:
That's good news then
600 years to the rent boys

You mean 60000??

mostob:
Shey una dey hear excuse. Because a player is involved in build up play, he is free to waste chances?

Spy can just churn up anything and hope it sticks

Shebi same Gabriel Jesus don dey play wing and still dey chop goals and unnecessary dribbles..
I just no wan bring am up

iamoyindamola:
Those rent boys are after him, they can do mydrky for us again

Lmaooo... Them no get money to spend. If anybody wants to hijack him, it's certainly not Chelsea.

Owner wey sell hotel under Chelsea name so that they won't fall under ffp naim wan drag player? Their shakara don end

mostob:
I think he meant it. Man is just 'emotionless'

Naahh... Look at his eyesight closely and his leg shape and movement, you see his intent of crossing it to Havertz and a second arsenal player who was free and have only the post at their Mercy.

He just mishit the cross but luckily it found the back of the net. You could see the quick disappointment first on his face before a happy shock when it landed on the net

Spy360:
First of all, what is a false 9?

Let's start from there because it seems you probably are using a wrong term to describe what you want.

A false 9 is a midfielder playing upfront. Like Cesc Fabregas for Barcelona those days.

Harry Kane for all intent is a striker, a 9 and not a false 9 please. May be you didn't get the definition right which misinformed all of us.

Lol... Just seeing this now.

Check my last mention to you

Spy360:
You have never been a proponent of false 9. This is you few minutes ago...



Stay one place make prayer work for ya head uncle. You have never liked the idea of a false 9.

Kane is a false 9.
I don't blame you cos your football na mostly Livescores

This is Van Persie been branded false 9 as far back as 2009 and even Rvp sef have called himself a False 9 , the last picture.(in this case he called it 9½ ; variant between 9 and 10)

Anybody who watches Van Persie during his time knows this. But I guess you're not familiar with the word then.

I will always teach you new things but no worries, that's why we're Arsenal brothers

germaphobe:
Talking about a 9 that will fit our system, have anyone seen the Victor guy from sporting, like seen him play and not some YouTube videos?. I think Arteta will prefer him over the other names I'm seeing cus of his work rate.

One of my Arsenal friend says since the rumor and his hype that he's been watching him at Lisbon matches and that he looks the deal.

Link up, workrate(pressing from front), presence and spatial awareness.

Fingers crossed tho

Spy360:
You see ya life

Kane is the perfect false 9 striker presently.

If you think Kane pro Mourinho is not a False 9, then Tbh maybe you've not been watching him all these while

Spy360:
Saka is carrying an injury and he will treat it after the season/Euros.

Make we dey see.
He needs to treat it fast oo

BlueRayDick:
Any of our defenders would've dispossesed Havertz with the ball in that first goal aswear. Maybe except for Zinchenko sha, but none of our starting defenders would allow Havertz journey that much to even attempt a shot.

On a second thought, I think Cucurella got a yellow card in the first half against Saka and didn't want to risk a foul lest he gets red carded.

The sweetest thing about the game was he didn't get red carded so Chelsea fans couldn't console themselves with the fact that they lost scandalously due to red card. They just had to chest the 5 goals and accept in in good faith. We had 17 shots(10 on target and 7 off target) to Chelsea's (1 on target and 4 off target). Imagine if they had gotten a red card

True, that yellow card is a valid point and I think Havertz knew that's why he capitalised on it.

I've never seen Havertz carry a ball such great distance with a defender at his back. That reason you gave is very very valid

Omorrrr... The thing pain me as e no reach seven or at least six. The Martinelli missed chances pain me sha. We for don avenge that 6-0 wey dem give us then

Spy360:
When we argued about GJ not scoring goals like a typical striker that scores 20+ goals a season. You said he wasn't clinical as a striker, I said he cannot be clinical because he gets involved with open play which means he is not always available for the final pass. Though you finally came to terms but have forgotten that you were actually against not having a striker.

No wahala

Anybody who followed our argument then knows that his clinicality was because of too much romancing the ball and not been able to score goals even when the chance presented itself.
He's always at the end of all our whole chances and I told you that he playing as a false 9 didn't stop him from getting chances to score, yet you claimed otherwise that he needs to play as a natural 9(using mitrovic and other Strikers as example), so that he won't be "tired" when such chance presented itself.

How you'll claim a year later that you're a proponent of false 9 while I'm a proponent of natural 9 is befuddling.

Anything just to claim W sha,

Shegzdave:
I know he just decided to try it
The guy celebration is cold, no much emotions

I swearrr...
Omorrrr, this team is almost set.

We just need that Kane type of striker that knows how to play this system well. Person that know how to interplay yet still be ruthless and know when to attack the box. The kind false 9s we're having now is just lacking that right instincts to attack the box.

We'll be deadly if we get such
