Pull out their stats and you'd be surprised at what you see.

The only cause for argument here is that you have the better coach by far and even at that he's been there for 5 years and has 1 FA Cup and 1 dog bowl to show for it.

Pull out stats with what?
That you guys are conceding more goals with Caicedo manning the DM

Or that Rice has more MOTM and per match rating that Caicedo this season (I don't want to use goals and assists to judge since they're DM).

So what exactly am I pulling out stats for?
Most tackles? Obviously when teams wan kill Una, why won't he have most tackles?

Were you pulling out stats when Jorginho was here?

Lmaooo, abeg sit this one out till you get something tangible for defence

Sportsweb:
Same way you avoiding Vierra, Jesus and co.

Lol..
Na so

Sportsweb:
How do you Gallagher v Jorginho. Sounds good right?

Lmaooo...
I thought we were talking about new signings?

The way you dey avoid your MMM: Mudryk, Madueke and Mexzy(ChukwuEmeka) is shocking

Shegzdave:
You wan choke am abi

It's not bad to be generous na.

This is Sunday

Sportsweb:
Let's compare Timber and Cucurella first.

Why not Rice Vs Caicedo and Lavia

I'm being generous here

swiz123:
Arsenal is not competing for the league

Dude is making old age look scary cos WTF.

odizeey:
There's no board in the first place sef, so I wonder how he went over it.

Today na Sunday na, this your Man marking on this Ole matter dey like prime Casemiro

Leyqute:
I’m not talking about banter. You haven’t seen a youth player (or even older ones) shine, get too much hype, and then drop considerably and never reach their potential?

Well, it happens. Pogba. Peperempe. Hudson Odoi. Zaha. Abbl

I’m less worried about Hojlund than I am about Gernacho. His decision making is not like it used to be.

Ohhh... I get.
But then I think that's a different a different situation we're talking about.

And yeah, you should be worried about Garnacho tho. I think he needs a better coach and a better environment to put his head down which presently Ten Hag isn't doing. Most of these players were not being managed properly tho and maybe apart from Pogba.

odizeey:
Nice too late to destroy any false agenda that might want to stay as truth.

I've already acknowledged earlier this week that Ole went over the top with that pressing ish and I thought the matter was already closed.

Sportsweb:
Later we move to Jackson and Jesus

Why not Nkunku and Jesus since both of them na hospital players?

You think say you wise

Sportsweb:
You are capping. Why did you omit Palmer as if he wasn't a Chelsea player.. lmao.

Compare Palmer and Havertz


Later we move to Jackson and Jesus

Lmaooo...who omit what?

Go and read the genesis of everything with what ballzbroblemm wrote criticizing Havertz using Jackson and Palmer.

I had to dead the Jackson own cos it's dead on arrival

Trevor012:
Jo.dera is now the one defending havertz. Football can be wonderful at times 😂

Lol... Football is really wonderful brother

No permanent friends, no permanent foes.

Just permanent interests!!

Unlimited22:
Cole Palmer has how many?
Show us the trophies Havertz has won at Arsenal.

Isn't it fitting that out of all your signings and 1bn spent na only Cole Palmer you fit bring out?

Show us the trophies Palmer have won for Chelsea

Leyqute:
You don’t think it can also make them complacent? What about the dose of expectation it heaps on them?

That Saka is not getting the hype that merits his performance level reduces the scrutiny on him which lessens the pressure on him, thereby make his job easier.

I've never heard or read or see people (both online and offline) banter or troll players because they won an award for player of the month(even if they flop the next month), so yeah I don't think so. And players are human beings that also needs motivation and acknowledgement.
I know how the first EPL goal broke the jinx of Hojlund scoring consistently there on, it's just unfortunate that he's on an injury cos I know this would have motivated him to do more instead of being complacent.

Ballzproblem2:
Flirting vs harassment 😁


Cost 60m but players like palmer and Jackson who we bought less are out performing him in g/a .


Pochettino you do this one.

Tell me how Jackson is outperforming Havertz with 11g/a? Striker for that matter on par with Midfielder/false 9
I dunno why you no bring Dr Nkunku, Mudryk and Madueke to compare. In fact you fit add all their goals let's compare with Havertz let's see

So 8goals 3 assists is the highest Havertz got at Chelsea in a season? Wawuuuu

Meanwhile, all of Una wey talk say Jorginho no get forward passes should start tendering your apologies

Mrviktor:
Agenda upon agenda.

Who can produce 4 matches from ole, ragnik, ten haag where manutd as a team was pressing the opposition..

I don't mean Bruno running like headless chicken to press 7 players oh.
I mean 4 players squeezing the opposition and winning the ball up in their half.. Just 4 matches would be fine..

Lol, you came late to the Party na.

1. I asked for mentality ystdy from the team and hoped Ramsdale's error doesn't undo their hardwork and I'm glad they responded. It's refreshing to see them doing the huddle and all rallying behind Ramsdale to get the 3 points. Most of our players this season have made errors leading to goals at different point in times and the trans have still turn up the screw and won the game, I'm so glad Ramsdale's own wasn't an exception.

2. Started the game brightly especially his long throws which setup us up on a counters. Made a big mistake leading to their equaliser and from then on (coming into the second half) we can see that it affected his confidence from passing out from back which made him to be playing long balls. These long balls couldn't make us to start buildups from back to push forward. Thank goodness we're one of the best teams to win aerial balls and second balls else we would have lost control through that decision.
Thankfully also, he didn't allow the mistake from the first half to affect his confidence goalkeeping wise and he came up big twice to still keep the scoreline level. Kudos to him on that.

3. The Brentford game was like a teaser to what we'll expect from Porto on Tues. Brentford played midblock and we're very aggressive and compact before we scoring the first goal. And in the second half where they came in with their equaliser, they resorted to theatrics and time wasting (just like Porto) in order to breakup play, waste time and frustrate us while being aggressive man to man. Thankfully we were able to overcome as we pile on the pressure looking for that half space passes. No matter what, Jorginho his very very useful in this cos both in the first half and second half (before being substituted) he was immense in giving those forward and penetrating passes. We also missed Martinelli cos he seems to have understanding with Rice in that advanced role Rice is playing. I dunno if Martinelli will be available but he's really needed that second leg especially with drifting between the wings and CF position (when running across).
Kudos to the fans too for not having Brentford's theatrics to have much effect on the ref. We will really need that for Porto too.

4. Ben White had a very very good game ystdy. Two sweet and teasing crosses just needed to be beautifully converted and thankfully it was.
Havertz in that Cf position have been very immense for us and even though he's somehow profligate in front of goal(which he obviously needs to improve on), he still makes up in other ways that's beneficial to the team. Hats off to him for the winning goal to.
Interestingly, he scored a late winner(header) against Brentford in the first leg which took us at the top of the table. Same goal, same team and we're once again top of the table (at least for now). Hopefully we keep on grinding.

5. I love the way we move in fast transition when ever there's a move for a counter. No longer passing back and sideways when we can obviously transition quicker.
Lastly, I want to give a special shout outs to Odegaard, Rice and our Back 4. They've been all very immense and they're the platform on which this team really excels.

Next Porto. Hopefully, we eliminate them.

COYG!!!

Leyqute:
It’s unnecessary jare.

I’d prefer those lads don’t get this type of unnecessary attention that might get to their heads and make them lose focus on their development.

Leyqute:
It bodes well for Saka (and Arsenal) that his efforts this season have gone under the radar.

I think it's on the contrary. This awards will definitely motivate them especially Hojlund and Kobbie to put in the work and I don't think it'll give them unnecessary attention. With or without the award, Saka already has the hype

Nahhh, Ramsdale dey fvck up.

Ball wey suppose deh pass, him dey budey thus we dey cede control

mine3112:
He should be sold without thinking twice. Imagine if thar is the last game and last minute of the game of the season. I may be wrong but this could be intentional by Ramsdale. How could you explain that for God sake?

Lol, he's not mentally strong. Since he went down the pecking order, his been making series of mistakes.

Trossard for wings no be am at all.
E better we play GJ for wings oo

Now is the time for the boys to prove the mentality and not allow this affect them.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Having thought about it again, my comment was insensitive

I mean..Her family was literally wiped out. That was not a time to start thinking of what should be right or wrong.

Make una no vex!

I didn't type well[/color]

Na Man you be

iamoyindamola:
There only source of joy you wan take am

Lol... Kobbie also won goal of the month so I believe it's double joy for them

germaphobe:
True, both of them were outstanding, though I will argue that Saka had more impact than Hojlund. I have never voted for once regarding that, can you leave the link for next time.

Well, after Hojlund deserves it too cos he was outstanding as well.

I will try and drop the link next time hopefully

Hojlund winning Feb pl of the month over Saka just tells us that just saying Saka will win it without actually voting for him will not automatically make him a winner of what he's more deserving of.

Man U fans really took Hojlund voting serious and he came out tops. Congratulations to him

Leyqute:
Surely, Erik Ten Hang has to cough up some of that 60m we paid to get Mason Mount.

Man was on the last year of his contract and he hasn’t played up to 10 games for us. So what’s the essence? Would’ve been better off getting him for free in the summer.

I don talk am more than once for my thread say Chelsea use jazz for this Havertz and Mount transfer. I think Havertz too has like a year left on his contract and refuses to renew yet my club shell out 65milla go carry am

Anyways, the deeds is done, we don already dey turn our own lemon to lemonade. Make Ten Hag try look for how him go take turn him own too

TrebleChamp:
Their was no progress under Ole, and he was tightly sacked. Ole was comfortable with his team being mediocre and unambitious, Ronaldo joining and saying he came back to win trophies made Ole and some of his fans uncomfortable. It was here people said Ronaldo was putting pressure on Ole by saying he want to win trophies. That chapter has ended sha, Ole can continue saying what he like. Ten Bald uselessness gave has given mouth to talk...

Tbh, All what you said here is right and valid tho and I agree 100%.

Anyways, like you said na new chapter. Ole and Ronaldo don go so they ought to be in the past.

odizeey:
Whether it was wrong or not is not my business.

Everybody saw how it ended up.

My own is that no one should say Ronaldo was forced on him

Lol.... No problem boss

BlueRayDick:
What he said was exactly the same thing I said at the end of last season , but the pain of losing the league to city made most people here to be shouting " Arteta bottled the league " up and down .

Nothing wey I no talk to make una see how far Arteta has brought the team from a team that was struggling to qualify for Europa while playing disjointed football to a team that almost run away with the league but for our ill-luck with injury & fatigue setting in.

As much as we get frustrated at times when games don't go our way or Arteta commits ocassionally gaffe ; I just laugh at times when I see suggestions like " they should sack Arteta if he doesn't win EPL or UCL this season" . I do that cos I know what the outcome of such decisions will be beforehand .

In one breath we don't rate Arteta as a genius football coach and in another breath we expect him to outsmart 19 other managers some of whom are actually world class managers .

Lol... Wetin wey we no talk for here for last season taya.

Anyways, the good thing is that Arteta is even making us better than last season and they seemed to learn from last season mistakes and inexperience. I'm so glad we're so so competitive now esp in all major competitions. We're one of the favourites in EPL and most pundits are even tagging us as 3rd favourites in UCL. All these things are the progress I can't turn blind eyes to all thanks to Arteta and his crew.
Like I'll always say, they deserve trophies for all what they've done and I believe they'll surely get it here.

COYG!!!

ObaIgwe1:
Not necessarily back to square one, every manager should be prepared for a particular player leaving or not being available due to injuries or for other reasons, no matter how good the player is... If any of our current players leaves, I believe Arteta will know an equally good or better replacement.

Let us be realistic please, Arteta will need a little bit of more lucks to win trophies for as long as Pep and Klopp are still in the view... I don't know anyone among us Arsenal fans who rates Arteta in the same level with Pep and Klopp, yet many of us expect Arteta to easily win these trophies.... Pep and Klopp will not be folding their arms and just let go na.

But we should give kudos to Arteta for the fact that our team has become competitive and we are no longer any team's walkover. One thing is SURE, with the way Arteta is improving in this game, trophies are bound to come sooner or later, it is a matter of time and I am not in a hurry. It has been a long time I consistently enjoy watching my team week in week out as I am now... It is not enough for me, I want trophies on top too, but if trophies fail to come, I will still not shout Arteta-Out!

If dem dey pin messages for here like telegram, this one suppose dey pinned too.

One thing I'm certain, I know that Arteta must give us that big trophies with the way he's going. Every moves he and the team(ie scout, board and players) are taking Is gearing towards that. I don't need to see trophy first before I start praising the road we're taking to the trophies (or to get to the top). Like I said last season, I've never enjoyed arsenal as I'm enjoying now and the great part is that we aren't even at our peak yet.

Have you seen the video
The way they all change face like person mess for shellfield players
