@germaphobe.
Very apt analysis.

Arteta system us to expand the field so as give room for passes
Bayern tried to make the field smaller by comgestmg the Midfield and a high line affecting our passing and playing.

A fluid system is the way Arteta coaches his players.

The thing is if VG has a good first touch and good positioning...he will.be banging goals easily when chances come.
At the same time Arteta is into positioning so that the defence is not left out and U need a fluid ball passing defender to do this.
This is why Hincalpie has not been moved to CB because of this limitation.

Unfortunately Saka is not at his best. (Injury or carrying a knock) He needs rest.
Madueke decision making is poor.
If Saka , Tzolis and Kai are fully fit... goals will be distributed between those 3 adding in Odegard that's 4.
Gykores is like a point man (abilities).
He needs to position himself and have touches.
I will prefer a VG in.open games for example UCL while EPL for Kai.or vice versa if games are open or tight

While he has talent O'Neil decision making is poor.
He's young so he learning.
In the first half , he didn't know what to do with the ball.
As time wore on and pressure mounted he began to understand some.movment of others.
Still needing guidance.
I mean Saka at this age ...has a good decision making abilities that moved him from left back to left winger with reoccurring assists.

On the Kai and VG debates.
Kai is preferred by Arteta bcoz if the system arsenal plays.
VG has good shooting abilities but the EPL does not give U room to begin to pick.your spot. You have to be fluid, have good touches and learn to interchange with other players to beat the low block backline amd offside except you wanna play for Burnley with one direction al.football...jokes.



That said.

I think Arteta can create two types of systems...just that the one suiting VG will require open spaces and most teams playing Arsenal in the EPL will consider a low block back line.
I think our attack is a bit thin with 1 forward needed.

Why do you want people to come and verify these prices?
Different parts sellers sell their goods at different prices.
If your mechanic has gone thru the stress if getting prices and you feel he's marking up the prices, it shows you DO NOT trust him, but there's a very dangerous catch, you can trust him with your car that can be fixed poorly and can damage your life or main you?

If you don't trust your mechanic, find yourself another mechanic or start fixing your car yourself.

Thanks for your opinion.
It is noted .
The questions was not directed to your kind.
Since you couldn't help, pls ignore and allow those who would to do so.
Since you want to fix everything yourself or know it all yourself

iamoyindamola:
I hope that's why because I don't want to see that guy in midfield
Btw I noticed he performs well coming in as sub

.
Everton are more defensive.i guess.

I'm.just imaging why Arteta can't give rice rest.
He trust rice so much.

Guess Rice will skip EFL games.

iamoyindamola:
Why did he start merino in midfield again, I will take zubi instead

.
The reason is. Merino will act like 2nd striker when arsenal are dominating or controlling the game.
You know he has a penchant for clutch goals.

Gyokeres is more important than whatever best version Kai can offer Arsenal when it matters most.

Take it or leave it.

Baba let's look at Gykores whole game this season,
You sincere thinking this statement is true..
Apart from the fact that Arteta should improve his confidence by more game time.
The various times he had ..he didn't provide what he expected of him.

Let's just wait and see but let's not be clouded by what we think he will deliver by what he actually delivers

Good morning
I have unstable driving which usual feel that the tyres want to fall off especially when I enter a bump and about to take off.
Here are the things the mech says we might change.
Pls help sift through the prices.

Front hub= ₦65,000
Stabiliser linkage = ₦7000
Thyroid and socket = ₦25,000
Inner shaft rubber= ₦3,500
Ball joint (2)= ₦15,000
Back sock = ₦45,000

Number 6 is disputable.
Yes advertising will remain but not in the big band displays that it's used to.
It will be more personal to.each individual and more than ever before online.
It should probably be online marketing.

To be sincere
I'm not very sold on Rice and Bruno starting together except for this game.
And the major reason is that in this Nottingham forest .our midfield does not need anyone who will loose the ball easily or loose concentration
Which Lewis Smelly and that no 36 usually do in a game. We could be punished.
Knowing how difficult to break them.down.

The only thing that I can say is our current available player ...we need a natural left winger .. since Tzolis is down.

Apart from that we have to manage VG somehow in cup games and UCL and sometimes open EPL games.

COYG

Don't let any on gaslight you.
Apart from the defensive lapses at the end of the game which occurred when they were supposed to come forward.
They played to compact and we needed something special to unlock them.

This is how most teams try to do.

See how we play in UCL.
Hopefully Saliba and Tzolis comes back in less than 2 weeks.

No wonder.
They have been seeing only 36 people all the while of which 33 are the people they consider as people.

Sorry Mr 33 governor

When the voters /electorate are out on election day tell them about the 33 governors.

Nonsense and 33

iamoyindamola:
One mugu on ESPN say we are boring
I was wondering if we need to satisfy these fvckers

.

Baba make nobody gaslight anybody.
To win is the goal.
.
Real Madrid did a comeback scoring 4 goals.

The noise we didn't hear is that 3 of those goals came via corner kicking.

That 3 points makes Madrid seat confidently in 8th position ready for automatic round of 16.

Make we win and leave the noise for the rival fans to argue.

Men.

See my school ...kilode.

Those days we were competing anywhere.
Even Achebe daughter scholed there.
We were same sets.

If you know the calibre of people that graduated from that school men..

The likes of Alh..Kareem our mathematics and further maths teacher.

Men..

iamoyindamola:
Gyokeres 2 goal scoring chances in his last 2 games
These chances are like sitter but were missed

.
The manager should give him confidence.
Thank God Harvetz has recovered.
He needs to use everyone at his disposal.

Saka also missed some "sitters" that he will usually bury.

He obviously needs a rest, carrying a knock or the new contract has entered his head.
His gf better talk sense to his head ....football career can be short. The more you deliver the more a coach will have U in mind even if U get older. That's what's KDB is enjoying from him Man city days now at Napoli.
A KDB at any age will always be an asset.

Last 2 games 4 goals.
2 on international duty
2 in last Napoli match

iamoyindamola:
Nasri and koscieny no suppose they

.
Kos had nothing wrong except he wanted to go back to his boyhood club.
And that was even at and old age.
Kos is fine.
Only Adebayor and RVP.
I really have an issue with .I can still take Adebayor sef...he went everywhere. Spurs, city🤣Real Madrid etc

Look at that finishing bro 😲

Are U sure he is a left back? That's an elite right foot finish for a left defender

Arteta is building a system especially suited for EPL.
because EPL teams have a way once they are playing a top side knowing the talent differential.

In that system, you need to have a good first touch and a team player mentality.
Also because we try to dominate the game and we need to position and reposition players to control the game.
To do that U need to have ball passing abilities first touch and ofcosurs your own flair.
Also U need to do defensive work to shut out times the opponents might get when the team do their flow of being unpredictable.
In the Euro national league the low block setup are not often the mangerial system of playing.
And strikers will have opportunities.
Gykores first touch need to improve.

To say arteta doesn't improve player is not true.
It just depends on the team set-up.
Timber
Saka
Saliba
White
And even Lewis Smelly have improved.
(Know that Arteta is adverse on using his second best player for a position in big games. Maybe frim his managerial experience.
The only thing I can say maybe to to manage the players confidence (given him game time).
Unfortunately the EPL is brutal and any slip up can cost a game
Besides the little time he tried Gykores,he hadn't redeemed himself.
There are some open games that Gykores will flourish but sometimes it has to be seen within the game if that game is open before they can introduce him in.
Let's not forget Odegard was poor last season, yet we know the talent is there and we can attribute that to injury.
I hope U know it's was Arteta that moved Saka from left wing to right wing after Saka started at left back under Unai Emery

COMPAQ:
As the euphoria of winning the election to the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria slowly fades, the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must now grapple with arguably the biggest sector requiring attention beyond security – the economy!

It is now obvious to Nigerians, that the government of ex-president Buhari led Nigeria down the proverbial financial rabbit hole. His old school socialist style of governance proved hopelessly out of tune for the financial realities of modern-day Nigeria. A lack of vision & political will, refusal to listen to sound economic counsel, reckless spending on dodgy intervention programs, an arbitrage driven foreign exchange management system and so much more have contributed to severely damaging the economic foundation of Nigeria. Inflation has spiraled out of control and the currency has been forced to devalue, sparking another round of inflation, considering the bulk of what we consume is imported. The fallout of this is that Nigerians have all become poorer. And the rich are not left out! Even Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has seen his net worth in dollars tumble.

The question though, is how do we proceed from here? No doubt, there are many strategies being considered to get Nigeria moving again. And Nigeria’s solution will not be just one of them, but likely a combination of many of them. However, one train of thought which I have not heard discussed much is the rejuvenating of the middle class!
The key metric for measuring economic power and size is the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – emphasis on the word ‘product’. Basically, it is the total of what a country produces. Production could be for domestic consumption and/or for export. Herein lies the problem. Nigeria’s population is so poverty stricken that producers in this country struggle to sell their products because the people have extremely limited capacity to purchase. Our much-hyped 200+mln population is therefore not adding anywhere as much to the GDP of the country as it should.

The Nigerian middle class has been so decimated that we now only have the very rich and a horde of low class, with just a sprinkling of middle class. Unfortunately, the very rich cannot carry this economy. How much produce will they buy and consume? A billionaire in dollars will only buy so many cars and houses. He can eat only so much food and wear so many clothes. It would be far better for the Nigerian economy to have one million millionaires, than to have ten thousand billionaires. If one million people were to buy 2 cars, that would be 2million cars sold. If ten thousand people buy 10 cars, that’s only one hundred thousand cars sold. Ditto for products such as refrigerators, washing machines television sets, phones, computers etc.

If the people to buy these products are available in sufficient number, then it makes sense for the factories that produce them to be based locally. If the factories establish in Nigeria, they bring FDI and jobs with them – both direct and indirect. The FDI improves forex supply and helps to stabilize the currency, while the spending of the wages earned by the employed grows the economy! The reality is that manufacturing only makes sense when it is done at sufficient scale. To compete with China, India and other global manufacturing hubs, factories in Nigeria will have to operate at an equivalent scale. And what better market to manufacture for than a country of 200+ million people, having a middle class with good purchasing power running into the millions. There is no point in Samsung setting up a factory locally, if only 5,000 Nigerians can afford to buy a new smartphone every year. They might as well import from Korea. However, if the demand was 5 million units a year, then the narrative would be different. Even if they had no intention of setting up a plant in Nigeria, the government would have a strong basis for encouraging them to do so, as the market would be simply too big to ignore.

Have we seen this phenomenon of a rejuvenated middle class carrying the economy forward play out in Nigeria before? The answer is yes! In the mid/late 90’s and early 2000’s, the government liberalized banking, hotels and telecoms. Dozens of new banks, MTN and Econet (now Airtel) spurred massive investment in the country. Banks were building new branches like a wildfire burning out of control! And with that came direct jobs for tens of thousands of bankers as well as indirect jobs for hundreds of thousands of people. In the telecoms space, the story was similar. MTN, Econet and eventually Globacom drove massive amounts of FDI into the country and created numerous well-paying direct middle class jobs and many more indirect ones. Think the companies suppling generating sets for thousands of base stations! The companies supplying diesel to those base stations! The companies contracted to build the base stations! The companies supplying the paper recharge vouchers! And many more! Even at the ultra-micro level, we had the phone center operators, those selling recharge cards on the streets, sellers of handsets etc. It is no coincidence that this era brought along with it the highest levels of GDP growth that Nigeria had seen in a generation. Unfortunately, this once thriving middle class, and its attendant purchasing power, has been whittled down by banking consolidation, casualization of workers, inflation and devaluation, which has made incomes worth a lot less than they used to be. So how do we begin to get back to those hey days?

In my view, the quickest way to address this in the short term is simply to pay civil servants and other government workers such as doctors, teachers and nurses a respectable wage that qualifies as a middle-income salary. Having said that, the reality is that our civil service is over bloated. However, using my earlier analogy, it makes more economic sense for the federal civil service to have half as many people who are paid twice as much! The current arrangement where we employ millions of people but pay them peanuts is not helping the national economy. None of them can buy anything tangible! Asides the fact that these people have insufficient money to spend, because their wages are so low, their level of productivity is abysmal. They simple have no stake in the work that they do, as they must focus their time and energy on other ways to make money.

The second, and more long term and structured way, is to allow the private sector to run this economy and significantly reduce the hand of the government. If we were to privatize/concession our international airports, Nigerian Railway Corporation, concession key inter-state highways to private companies to toll and manage, create another LNG company, enable private sector development of solar farms etc, we will be creating new companies that will drive FDI into the country and employ staff to run them with better wages that what currently obtains.

To achieve the national economic growth that President Tinubu appears to seek, we urgently need to re-energize the middle class. Nigeria’s socialist attempts to grow the economy from the center with public sector intervention spending that is not backed by any form of production or gains in productivity has had damaging effects on our economy. Its time we focus on a people led approach backed by the private sector, so that more Nigerians have more money to spend. By so doing, we create a large enough middle class that attracts the local and foreign investment in the production of goods and services that Nigerians require, and the economy grows as a result.

This should have been the thinking of the economic team of this administration.
In fact they were supposed to start with an economic think thank team.
But alas see as the middle class is eroded.

From October 1 prices will reduce by 10.naira?
And you rolled 35 buses for the whole of Lagos and this will reduce transport cost or mad rush into the bus to further damage the template boss via overloading as you did for BRT buses .
Pls.is this how to reduce price

It is well.

Thiefobi1:
The fraud took $30m of anambra state money, invest it in brewery.

The company gave him 15% bonus which he in turn gave the state 10% and took 5% for his family.

Nigerians what do we call that.

.
Assuming this is true.
If the $30m investment still belong to the state. The 10% bonus was also given to the state.
How is 5% of the bonus (not pure profit).
being given him a problem.

He's not holy mary.

Go and look at other governors how they just loot their state dry.

Pls we are asking for people who love the state more than themselves not "saint"
