FirstbornWds:
I want make una experience last day europhia. Just like Man Yoo and Liverpool.


But make una win am

Please, abeg, the pressure will be too much and we might falter.

If we can get breathing space before the last day of the season, e go better. The drama and Euphoria wey man city bring (2012 & 2022) go last for lifetime. We no want another one after all, dem no deh dash extra medal for "last minute u-foria"

I noticed it too. That quick transition is one of our strengths.
The header that Jesus nearly scored against Chelsea earlier this season and Martinelli's goal against Fulham were both from quick transition.
Make Dem buy aboniki balm use am rub Saliba abeg... we need him at this stage.

Exactly, you sabi wetin I dey talk. Unfortunately, We won't be able to see Saliba anytime soon.

Our pass from the back straight down to attack even if under pressure is one of the big reasons why we're so dominating. That Martinelli to Jesus miss against Chelsea was a very classic example of how we transition beautifully from back to front. You could see how we use triangular passes to beat the heavy press in our box by Chelsea with Saliba heavily involved in that buildup too.

mostob:
Sent out of training for not showing enough commitment.

Lol... This is the first time I'm hearing such a punishment sha.

Punishing someone for lack of commitment? How bad was he non-commital for him to be sent home ?

mostob:
This Nuno na bad market. Wey I don dey reason how we go cash out like 40m as per say he dey mad form.
Now he don go spoil everything with his hotheadedness.

Lol... Wetin him do

iamoyindamola:
Holding has so many deficiencies one of them is the reason we conceded that stupid goal against Leeds
I hate when players run back from the opposition attacking, there are 2 options let the player pass you and take one(yellow) for the team
Or allow him and concede which eventually happened

Lol... My own is just that recycling.
Against Leeds and even Crystal Palace, there are many aerial balls he could have just passed to his teammates but he was just doing clearance. Even some balls under pressure, he'll just budey it inside. It didn't show because we were very dominant against those two, so we can quickly press them to submission but when it's against top teams, I'll be afraid.

mostob:
Ok bro... I no just want make we drop. Since 2004 fah..

Lol... I understand.
Hopefully, we'll get a very good result this weekend against them

mostob:
The difference is he would be up against Salah this time. We saw a glimpse of what I'm talking about against Sporting.

Lol... Don't use Sporting to Judge since we used basically our 2nd 11 in midfield and attack (especially midfield)

In fact, it's against Sporting I knew that there's a big drop-off in quality between our first and second 11.

Immediately Partey entered, our midfield was stabilized small, Just the 15m Odegaard entered and I saw a whole sporting parking the bus.

The only person I'm fearing is Holding cos Saliba and Gabriel are so good at Stopping counters intelligently before they even materialized and I've not even talk about Partey who's another king.

I don't know how Holding might fare cos na him I dey fear Tbh

TalabiAudu:
To type his name alongside those in that list is a disgrace

TalabiAudu:
Rank them from your best to worst.

Mine:
Mourinho
Tuchel
Conte
Di Matteo
Sarri
Benitez
Hiddink
Lampard

Wait?
You forget Potter ni?

Amoto94:
Now who lied?
Where is Donstan and other Potter bandwagoners?
Forget it I'm not boasting but when it comes to this football knowledge only few can compete- Popi u no reach, ballzsy u no reach, Donstan u no reach,

Na you get mouth now.

Finish dem

ObaIgwe1:
Looking at the remaining fixtures for us and Man City... Man City seems to have an easier ride.

We are still going to meet Liverpool, Man City and Newcastle away, then have Chelsea and Brighton at Home.

We really need to be at our best to win this, the road is not easy.

Man city, Chelsea, Newcastle and Brighton... All consecutively.

If we no slip up after that time, we no fit ever slip up again

mostob:
Zinny is not a weakness as such but his tendency to drift inside may create a loophole. And he will be up against one of the league's bests, Salah. It could go either way..

That tendency to drift infield is one of the big reasons why we're dominant especially in midfield and to prevent any counter attack.

We come against top teams in EPL, how many times have we been dealt with because of Counter especially due to Zinny wing?

The only reason why I'm even afraid in terms of individual is Holding. Holding can't seem to recycle ball very well, especially aerial balls, Something Saliba is great at. Another thing is that he shouldn't do "Gidigbo" tackling same way he did against Tottenham last season. If he can just calm down and be in tandem with with the rest of the team, I wouldn't have any fear for any individuality.

germaphobe:
seriously i don't understand why he is so confident about zinny being a weak link in the team when we would face liverpool, he has said it a couple of times shaa. someone who is like the best thing after bread and akara to our amazing system na who you wan remove against liverpool cus of say wetin happen?

Likeeeee... It's surprising.
Zinny suppose to be the last person if not one of the last to even be thinking about subbing him. Someone due to his role he's performing is making us very very dominant this season

mostob:
injuries to both Tomi and Saliba is why the game against Liverpool is looking like a mountain.
Their Midfield and defence are weak now so we should be able to get the edge there.
But Zinny and Holding vs Gakpo and Salah is a serious headache.

So you still think Arteta will bench one of his best and most important player that makes his system click just because Salah??

If Tomi likes, let him be well, the only person he would think of benching is Ben White if he'll ever start.

The only reason Tomi played first leg was because of my injury to Zinny.

But then, I still don't understand why you think Zinny is a weakness instead of strength against Liverpool?

Spy360:
I am just trusting Arteta to get the right tactics to overpower Liverpool. Apart from this, I don't have any other hope

Liverpool's performance be like NEPA. But one thing is clear- their defensive frailties. VvD looks like the worst defender in the PL now. I will be hoping that Arteta will take advantage of this.

Lol .. true talk.

Hopefully, we'll take advantage.
I believe the mentality of this team is stronger now.

Roland17:
We need to beat Liverpool because we are better than them in every aspect of the game this season. This is going to be more mental than anything to be honest. Tactically, I expect Klopp to press our midfield and play high from the back.

If we break their press and take our chances, we can win by 2-3 goals. Otherwise it would be a difficult match. Liverpool’s defense is by far their weakest link, if we can move them around we should get enough chances.

If we can calm our nerves and block our ears against that Anfield noise, I believe we'll win.

Individually, the only person I see as a weak link is Rob Holding

Roland17:
Well said. However, I thought and as witnessed during that period, we were quite predictable in our attack, substitution and tactics. This was evidenced by the pattern of the draws or losses. Jesus’s loss played a big role as Nketiah’s style did not necessarily fit our pattern of attack which releases the front players from deep if the opportunity was available.

Trossard’s transfer has been immense in helping our tactics. The fluidity in that front 3 means any of our attacking players can fit into any part of the attacking system because there is constant movement, pace and presence. I still worry when we go down, particularly against a low block team but not as much because of the quality of this team.

Trossard have been the best January signing this season by a mile. The way he really blended with our team, one would think that he's been here for years.

But then I think most teams have been more of low blocks, but the interchange, fluidity and rotations amongst our front five helps in breaking it up easily as if the low block is not there. The difference between that our loss/ draw against Everton/Brentford and these our 7 matches is just the fluidity and rotations. Else till now, we would have still been complaining. It's the main reason why that Newcastle game deh pain me till now cos that's a massive 2point dropped

daveP:
We've really did well against top 6 this season. It will be good to finish the H&A with Liverpool.

We have excelled so well this season. It remains that fear factor, something similar to what City and Liverpool once enjoyed prior to now.

It's just mentality now cos if it's quality, we have it more than Liverpool, at least this season.

Can we win against Anfield noise who would want to ginger the players?

Omorr, this weekend will answer how far we've come as a team

Leyqute:
Haven’t you heard of ChatGPT?

Ahhhh....!!!!

Abeg ooo

Leyqute:
LoL.

Havert10 blows in any direction the German fraud blows

Could be a bot too, yuno.

The bolded is the fact. I don't believe he's a bot. Aside Havertz matter, he drops intelligent takes, something bots hardly do

Popizaino, if you feel I'm trolling you because you don't want Potter to be sacked or not,.. Nahh!!. That's not it. Else, I won't be only trolling you, Donstan, and ballz.

Reason why I'm trolling the 3 of you is because

1... You guys insult Tuchel as If Tuchel didn't didn't do anything noteworthy here when he was sacked for Potter
2... You guys where so quick to praise Potter during his new manager bounce while Insulting Tuchel as if Tuchel didn't do 10x what Potter did.
3.. You guys threw insults and snide remarks when things were going well at those who still felt Potter haven't done anything yet.


If you feel I'm a hypocrite and I fell foul of any of these 3 reasons, you can bring receipts.

popizaino:
Did Arteta do half of what Potter is doing to us Chelsea when you call for his sack?

Yes... When we were winning one match a month(admittedly with vastly inferior players to Potter). So I was justified (though not right) in calling for his sack.

Potter have gotten his players, yet result isn't coming his way, anyone who feels he should be sacked is justified to think so

popizaino:
Maybe you should also wait till Potter spend as much years at Chelsea as Arteta has spent has Arsenal too before anything else.

Lol .. na the same thing we dey talk na.

He needs preseason

popizaino:
Why are you also not running your mouth on Arteta sack again?

Lol... Exactly na.
Reason why I agreed make Una wait for preseason. At least, Potter go cook like Arteta

drisham:
God bless you for this I stopped taking them seriously.potter won his first 3 games ..since then it's been draws and losses ...they compared that person to tuchel lmao

Most here can't be taken serious. They hated Tuchel so bad that they wouldn't mind even if na devil wan take over

Worst part is that you'd think Tuchel did quarter of the nonsense Potter is doing to deserve such hatred or that Tuchel haven't done something great here.

User09:
Let me reiterate again for those who like to hear the truth.

None of those stupid pursuit/transfers was entirely driven by Tuchel except maybe Sterling and Auba. You can spin it however you like but the Players bought post Tuchel reinforces my stand. They were all data and boehly driven.

Remember how easy it was for them to sack him despite everyone being shocked at the time cos of all the supposed Tuchel's target that were bought. I'm sure TT is also responsible for all the 7 years signings too

We all saw how Lukaku was benched immediately Roman left despite it not being done before.

Even if you say it 1 million times, it doesnt make it true. Same energy should be given to Potter on Mudryk et al afterall he should be the one buying them.

Even the Gordons that was almost bought with "database" would still have been tagged Tuchel if he was bought.

popizaino:
And so what else?

Lol... See as you meek.

When you deh run mouth before while claiming Lord Sage and seer, you no sabi what else then shebi?

The leg wey you dey use stand with Potter don finally break?

Before Potter appointment

Havertz10:
Chatter is heating up towards porter, anything British is forbidden in my book, I hope porter fails and fails hard, I would rather write off the season than appreciate porter. :

Someone who saw through the shalayes and what he really meant, thus can't be deceived

drisham:
If porter makes havertz a guaranteed starter over anyone you will surely come here to praise him

Same person who claimed can't appreciate Potter cos he's British don turn Stan because he starts Havertz.

Havertz10:
Thought we played well overall

Team Potter.

Na just cruise full this thread las las. Dris.ham one cold beer for you

TrebleChamp:
Your team have done very well this season against all expectation, make them sha keep it one game at a time and no lose concentration. Arsenal will be EPL Champion this season...

That's just the most important thing — one game at a time.

Manchester city look like team wey no wan drop points from now till the end of season sha

popizaino:
Yes,he had no pre-season but the world cup break is the reason why i am not giving him that benefit of doubt again. Any other gossip again?

Coming from a goal down to win a game ... Is it stuff we see under Potter or should I mind my business?

FBS:
You know normally I would have laughed but this ain't funny no more.

Well, the people who said so didn't meant it as a joke either

afrodoc2:
I said they will be in awe. I didn’t say they will like it. 😄

Lol... Which Kain awe wey person no dey like na?
