Team wey pass us pass us.

More so, I notice this is a mental block this team have against Liverpool and man city. Once we face those two clubs, it seems as if the players are afraid to play and today's game wasn't different. The midfield and attack seems to release the ball immediately they get it.

I know I'm a big Lokonga fan, but today just proved that e get game wey dey pass person. Liverpool was bigger than sambi and he proved time and time again why the game was bigger than him.

Tavarez proved with is howler that sometimes experience in big matches is crucial. Hard to see Tierney making such mistake.

Special shout out to ramsdale, and some recognition to saka and smith Rowe, Gabriel too.

The rest (to me) displayed subpar performances
Honestly we have that mindset of defeat against liverpool and City and initially I thought we broke that jinx. As much as I dont like the margin, is a wake up call and I know we will bounce back.

I cant wait for Auba to retire, leave or go for nations cup, why did he even stay off side. Sub him and leave Laca alone.

Thumbs up to Ramsdale and Gabriel, English defenders will shame you.

Tavrez be like welcome back Boss Tierney

Brethren I have forgotten xhaka is still our player
Can we just cash out on him and Pepe FFS
At this point I may snitch on Tierney and go with taveres
Not selling Smith has to be the biggest deal we did, 4th goal in this season
Brother ohhhhh, like See partnership made perfect Lokonga and Partey, where is that Wiliock cannot be bullied human hahahahah.

Omo this Tavares eh, I dont even miss Teriney and Xhaka but I love this left back competition.

Exactly what the team need competitions not people feeling relaxed

Willock remains better than lokonga. No midfield in EPL can bully willock. Even in the absence of willock I'll rather play el-neny.


Lokonga cannot make Sunderland midfield.

Someone must be doing a good job in advising him about tactics. I suspect that man that he always hugs each time Arsenal scored a premier league goal.

Dude is clueless, someone that threw away Lucas Torreira , sold willock and bought lokonga.

SHAME!
Will wat?

Pepe will start. If Lacazette is not fit, Nketiah will start from the centre. I'd also like to see Martinelli finish a game.
I don even forget Pepe

Just so we note...

Maddison played only 45mins and his team lost 2-1 to Brighton

Odegaard gave us a goal and a win...

Not proving anything, just for us to note ni o. smiley
I think I said it here that I am not a fan of Maddison.
He remind me of Ozil but in this case a lower Ozil. Maddison to me is too predictable and he slow games down. I miss the Leicester when he was out and injured walahi

Make saka rest! That boy seems burn out ; somebody needs to give him like two or 3 weeks break....shebi Martinelli dey collect salary, make that one sef play na.

Saka played a whole of questionable football today, but I believe allowing him to rest and sit two or three games out will get him refreshed abeg!
Very true, everything he did today was just wrong ..... dude need to rest including from England

Ramsdale was faultless
Full of confidence cs on EPL debut is good
The midfield worked tirelessly for the defence
Mehn that chinko guy is handful

We won relegation battle with a scrappy goal
Goals still missing

We move on the next bottom league match battle against burnley
Defence today ohhhhh especially Chinko and Gabriel choi. Gabriel was available anyday anytime.

Pepe is frustrating to watch
Goddamit angry angry
And Aubameyang . If this is the midfield Niles want to play no no no, just ordinary nothing extra.

So far is the defence that I really like their composure.

Willian and Nelson out, no winger replacement so we are left with Pepe and Saka as the only natural wingers with Rowe and Auba as alternatives..... okay ohhhh Edu and Arteta weldone ohhhh.

Biko eh @jodera and others after selling Bellerin and AMN what next ?

So Arteta really want to rely on Cedric and Chambers ?

How did we get here.

Did Xhaka even say anything about his red card on social media?

Perhaps it might be a blessing in disguise for the partey/lokonga pairing.

But then we have a clown as coach
I love that Red card honestly.....

Not really surprised by the result. We have seen worse sha. But bring me to ask,imagine another inquiry to Thomas, Gabriel and White is this what we will continue to see?

You tried Chambers en no work , u tried Cedric now it is even worse. Lol

Jodera:
Everyone (almost) knows Chambers plays that Rb over Bellerin under Arteta.

And don't be surprised to see Laca and Auba uptop again with Auba shunted out wide.

To be sincere, 1½ season plus into Arteta reign, I still don't know our standard 11

I'd have preferred Lokonga - Partey, but then, I'm not Arteta
Me too lokonga over Xhaka.... if that boy start like 8 games straight. He will be a force.

The default with Arteta is not know when to start Lacazette over Auba. His selection is always one thing off all the time

Barcelona want a CF, they are looking at our 2 useless senior CFS
I think they will pick auba, we should be able to do business with them even if it's loan with option to buy and we collect coutinho.
Then we buy cm probably bissouma or berge or aurora as I am tired of seeing xhaka starting for us.
We actually have nothing to lose this season, no Europe football it's an advantage for us but we are messing it up




We should sell lacazette to spuds too jare since kane is leaving grin grin
Abeg not any Berge or Bissouma... we have somehow gathered too many average defensive minded midfielders with little creativity. What happened to getting someone like Cazorla again,that is why I am a huge fan of Aour.


We dont even have identity again.

Another thing I am concern about is the easy way coaches identify our tactics and cripple it with ease. It was obvious Brentford studied our game pattern and utilized it well on us

We need more CBs!!!!!!!
Honestly speaking we need to sell all of Mari, Holding and Chambers ,recall Saliba if we can and get another defender.

Mari was an eyesore yesterday, I cant fault White he was like the only defender others were too absent minded.

Yesterday honestly I love the result because over the years our board and management only procrastinate till they see bad result. Arteta is not our saviour he is more interested in building defence but if a team mount pressure on you how can you attack them.

I for one was very happy when we wanted to sell Xhaka cos we always play defensive minded midfielders who are still average. It is a shame that lokonga was more visible in midfield over Xhaka. I dont know how difficult it is for Arteta and the board to realise that Xhaka have no love for arsenal.
Aour is a creative midfielder but no they will not see him. We have been pursing Odegaard since day 1 like our life depend on him.

I said it here once and I will say it again, we need a striker ( please not some Abraham abeg) laca and Auba are leaving on past glory right now. Why do we keep players that are of no relevance like Nikethai . Arteta lack ambition and yesterday arsenal was looking soooooo ordinary.

It is sad but I feel that fans at the stadium should be vocal more now.

Unfortunately mehn it is hard to leave Arsenal. I honestly don't think Arteta love arsenal enough

I have this strong feeling that most of this want away players especially Lacazette and Bellerin may be sold towards the closing time of transfer. My fear is panic buying

I was so surprised seeing arsenal not trying hard for Ryan. Sometimes, our priorities are just so damn misplaced. 20m or less would have gotten Ryan at least, since he was already a bench warmer and wasn't seeing regular play time at Brighton. The club and some decisions sef.

I don't too know Guimares tho, but I heard he's a good midfielder who can partner Partey, thus I feel he's very needed. Same with Odegaard, even tho I would have preferred Olmo grin.




Guess what? Ryan was a free transfer to Real Sociedad
I that list sef, Aouar to me is the last option
