Nonsense talk. We no dey here 2/3 seasons ago wen Arsenal fans dey ask us about the usefulness of Arteta.? Did you have this same point of view then?

You have a thing for making outlandish statements, and spitting very bizarre points of view.

Arteta has been the manager of Arsenal for nearly 7 years. And you gaslighting us as to why they have the strongest squad in his 7th season.

Are you at war with context?

That man has been waging war with context since the days of Abraham.

Glory be to God..Taiwo Adeniyi score today

Happy for him. It’s been a while he scored or even get minutes or get close to scoring.

Arsenal are blocking all passing lanes to Bruno, especially from Martinez.

We need to find a solution to get him on the ball more in the second half.

CrystalTiger:
Hate to say it but we actually need Cunha, his ball carrying ability is needed..The problem is if he'll go back to his selfish play..

We might need him to improve our offense but defensively he’s a worry. Then, like you mentioned, there’s that bit about him holding onto the ball too long unnecessarily.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
This Mbuebo dey always turn up for Manure during big game. Na big game player

He has scored against City, Arsenal and Liverpool, all in his first season for us. Na Chelsea remain.

Looks like Eze and Jesus will start.

Will never get tired of this

Tell Gyokeres that’s how to hold a defender off and score, not that rubbish he did against Nottingham Forest

Estevao oro

Joelinton the thug. Injured 2 players at the same time. Stamped on their foot. No card.

adebayo201:
I'm skeptical that Maz will come in for Dalot. I also believe that we can't guess the first eleven and that's how it should be.

The game will be a nutcracker and set everyone on edge. Hopefully United hit Arsenal and end this game with maximum points.

Until Samuel Luckhurst leaks it 5 hours before kick off on Twitter.

raumdeuter:
When i dey tell yna that year shebi dem say he used mind control to make Sissoko miss target

You get wahala small bros. Your Salah is also finished. And na you hype am pass.

Van Dijk is truly finished. This guy is one of the most hyped defenders in the EPL. And he believes his own hype too. Pathetic.

eph12:
Casemiro was a threat from set piece. We don't have that many in the club anymore

Sesko is also good in the air

iamoyindamola:
Why did saka hesitated to take the shot

Probably a lack of fitness. He needed to take another step after controlling it to shoot. Normally, he should’ve it hit in the same stride. It’s due to a lack of match sharpness I’m sure.

That Pesposito guy wicked small

BlueRayDick:
Did you see the ball he just lost now that led to Inter counter?

If they score from such counter attack it can actually make it difficult for the coach to trust him with more starting chances

That’s why I only mentioned him getting minutes as a sub.

Zubimendi, BTW, is really struggling in that midfield. The defensive workload on him is quite much.

BlueRayDick:
When he fails to impose himself in matches like this, it makes it difficult for the coach to trust him with starting role in EPL matches especially when we are under pressure to get results.

I get you. But I think a few mins here and there would’ve kept him sharp.

Was his last EPL goal the hattrick against Spurs?

Very sure Gbokeres will never be in that kind of position. But you guys will be saying his teammates are not passing to him

BlueRayDick:
Eze is just struggling to flow with the tide/page of the game.

He’s rusty

1-0.

See as passes connect..attack smooth.

Can never be Gbokeres.

MRTA7:
I actually am ok with players being critised for their performances. it is normal and should be expected as part of the expectations of playing for a big club. What shouldnt be acceptable is how they ridiculed Lisandro. Nothing to do with his performances just ridiculing him for his size. That to me is unacceptable.

I have no problem when Agbonlahor or Troy Deeny make such comments. But when it comes from people who should know better, it peeves me.

AirBere:
If he's the best CB from the famed City academy, then wahala dey. Pep may actually be truly finished or may be he's bored.

Still to be seen. All his problems will probably disappear once Guehi starts playing.

CAPdan21:
This is hindsight..I don't think he should have won the balon d'or but he's still a lovely player, I just don't think he's fully recovered from the ACL injury

He probably will never recover fully from it. That solid version of Rodri that won the ballon d'Or is gone forever.

Happened with KdB. Same with Kaka, DeLima and to some extent Ronaldo and Rooney. Messi is the only iwin I've seen that injury doesn't seem to have affected his performances and output that much.

Generational talent in the mud 🌚

afrodoc2:
100%. I hope people give it to them and make them understand that they phucked up.

People are already doing that.

Those ex guys have contributed to the noise instead of reducing it. They’re not really that smart if you think about it.

I so much respect Ian Wright. In spite of his media exposure, you’ll never hear him going after Arsenal players or or going personal in his criticism. He understands the weight his words carry.

Koonya Bruno Koonya Bruno Koonya Luke Shaw

Still dey sweet my belle

raumdeuter:
Did we win that tournament

What part of it wasn’t  “dragging his team back to victory”? May not have won the tournament but it definitely played a huge part in winning the game.

raumdeuter:
Which competition or even game that was going the wrong way did JayJay drag the team on his back to win? Beyond the useless dribbles

What about that freekick against Cameroon in 2004?

afrodoc2:
Devaney is the nearest to Casemiro. He is the Under-21 captain and has been a decent performer for the past couple of years but I don’t think the club hierarchy rate him that highly.

Maybe they don’t think his ceiling is high enough. He sometimes struggles with quick n tricky players and gets silly cards. Plus he is a bit limited on the ball.

Dan Gore is doing well on loan but at 21yrs of age his time has passed. Injuries took 2 yrs from him.

Apart from Devaney the only other reasonable option that is remotely physically ready is the right footed Fletcher twin, Tyler. Uncle Carrick might give him some minutes LOL

LooL. Very possible. Those Fletcher twins look talented. Hope they can hit their full potential.

I personally think we should start making plans to integrate JJ Gabriel into the first team. I know he’s too young to make his debut this season but there should be a plan to ease him in when the time comes.

Ole did it with Greenwood. Amad developed significantly when he went on loan to the championship. We need to develop these kids to the utmost level. If they can’t play for United, we should get good bucks for them.

JJ Gabriel can be a Bruno regen, no?

afrodoc2:
Instead of quoting me to say why you think Garner is a good choice or a bad choice you are quoting me to tag your opps to cause a fight and derail my point.

Garner has developed nicely away from the toxic atmosphere at Old Trafford. He was instrumental in Everton’s victory at Villa Park. Hopefully he continues improving.

Do we have any midfielders (on loan or in the u18 or 21) who can do a job in midfield? I’m thinking someone who can replace Casemiro next season.

Collyer is more an Ugarte type that is still developing. Kone is just not ready for the EPL IMHO.

Joezinho:
Kanu was not a striker. His role is similar to the role Palmer, Olmo, Bellingham, Rogers, Odegard, Cunha, etc play. How many of these players have an insane number of goals?

Football is first a talent before trophies and stats come in.Kanu is one of the most dreadful, skillful player to ever grace the game.

I’m not denying Kanu’s talent. But his goal drought for the SE doesn’t measure up with his talent level. That’s a fact h
