If we don't beat Newcastle today, our players lack character and mentality. By beat, I mean 3 goals upward.

E get why I hate that team. Very dirty set of players.

Beating Newcastle is the main thing not the number of goals

mostob:
How was our performance in the first half? I no dey watch. This NEPA people don do us bad thing.

.

They are matching us.
Our final third was the only place we were a bit sloppy (not accurate).
Aside that they the porto guys are Just there to avoid conceding.

nabiz:
I dont like tinubu but I have noticed something. I am suspecting that the northern oligarchy mainly the fulanis are the one sabotaging/fighting Tinubu's government. This people have been in government for year without doing anything in Nigeria. They are very rich and powerful. Something must be going on which we don't know.
Tinubu must be fighting to stop their agenda. Are they fighting Tinubu because he wants to tampered with the constitution, example state police which will put and end their conquering agender, i know there are more to it.

As I said, I dont like Tinubu because of the way he became president but he has good intentions for Nigeria. He may not be the messiah but he will make way for the messiah by curtailing the power of the oligarchy who have been holding this country for ransom.This group are very powerful and you can never pls them.. they always want their way in everything

My advice is that the indigenous Nigerian from North to South should rally round and support Tinubu. Tinubu may be fighting a war that many of us are not seeing and if we don't support him he may back down or they may use military to remove him given the reason that he is on able to govern Nigeria.

As earlier said. I dont like Tinubu. I did not vote for him. But I know it is the will of God for Tinubu to be a president. God can use anybody. The same people that are fighting him use him against Jonathan, but from today I will support him. I will endure with him.

You have spiritual eyes.
I voted for Obi.
But Tinubu is the only southener that can break the political north hold on.Nigeira.

Obi is too meek for that.

Obi rather has a template to make Nigeria great. But he cannot do it under this set-up. The northern oligarch will deal with his method.

But this guys fear Tinubu.
BAT is the fore runner.
Don't be suprised if BAT create at least 2 states for the southern part of Nigeria before he leaves.

Guys from.the east should pipe it down but even.if they don't this is what is in my heart.

They fear that guy oh.(the North).

The hardship is affecting us all even me.
But I have understanding

White is inverting into midfield and Kwior is gaining serious confidence on the ball. Still needs to improve.
Kai is doing what Arteta wants him to do.
65M not a waste at all.

It's is when Partey and G. Jesus joins the tram full and fit that will make our bench look well stocked.

The blame game has started

Smh

Roland17:
Thank goodness for the bench (other coaches) that clamored for Arteta to send Nwaneri into the game because he had no plans to bring him on!

And many of you seriously think our academy players lack quality! Naaaa… this is the proof that I have been hammering on.


You are 6-0 up but you have 0 plans to bring on Nwaneri, I mean… Give these kids minutes like these, make we know wetin we get. You can see how much confidence the senior players have on him. They train with these kids, they know their quality and you can see how they, especially Odegaard involved him in the build up.

Yeah...I read that part.

He heard repeated whispers from the bench to bring the young fella on.

U know Arteta don dey craze pass Pep small small.

We no dey talk much for here. Na delivery we dey so

tunjijones:


Who will they now vote for? They cld not defeat Tinubu while he was not the president, na now whey him be president them wan come defeat am.

The north have no choice than to support Tinubu in 2027 else that 2031 no show for them.

See wisdom speaking.

If u think Tinubu is a technocrats.....tinubu does not play by the rules oh.

See that guy in Aso rock now will rule for 8 years.

The North fear that guy....

Some said he believes this women.


In 2024


with all the lies women have been telling since ages.

Okay oh.

Spy360:

You fans can be funny.

Havertz missed one game and Arsenal lost 2-0 at home to West Ham. Think about this. When I said it is Havertz that makes the tactics to work with his space control you guys think you know ball more than me. Dey play.

I partly disagree with you on this.

We need to understand the context.

Harvetz was playing but his performance was VERY POOR.
He gave out ball loosely and missed chances.

Note I am not saying Arteta system of play was NOT built to have Harvetz as a key component.

At some point Arteta benched him and brought him in a sub which was I advocated for so he can impact and understand the game and the players.

Harvetz confidence has improved and his performance has also improved and he is showing why Arteta was bringing him in.
The system Arteta is playing Harvetz good performance will yield a positive impact.

Pls lets understand the context.

He is playing well now.

Even Odegard went through this phase.

Let's end the debate.
Giroud was very effective in our system which we tried to mould after TH14 or RVP .
The was good for plan B and he was effective there. I still remember his goal against Man U.

France worked on his strength with Greizman as support striker and Mbappe on the wings.

The system is key for Giroud performance.
Some players can play in every system but some just flopped for no explainable reason e.g Sanchez at Man u and Torres at Chelsea.
Hazard has serious injury and i remember questioning the purchase by RM. They bought him while still unfit.

Spy360:

Many here won't or didn't accept the bolded when Giroud was with us. But I insisted because I thought rationally.

You are right when you said some players do well under certain systems or managers even though we criticise them. Doesn't it mean that most of us who criticise cannot see how good the player is because the system blinds us or because we have preconceived notions of how a player should perform irrespective of the system in which he plays? Take Havertz for example, most people can't see how well he performs simply because of preconceived ideas? Same as Gabriel Jesus etc.

Gabriel Jesus makes us unpredictable.

Harvetz had confidence issues and currently I prefer him in the starting 11.
However baba most of us that criticized Arteta said he should ease him Harvetz into the squad and bring him in to make impact and blend with the team.

Brother our team is complete oh maybe some bench power.

White though has been below par.
The Raya and Ramsdale battle still dey

daveP:
Omo

I have to commend Saliba again for him Usain Bolt mode vs Nunez. That Nunez no sabi. There's a high chance Salah passes to him and he'll flop it.


Another clip angle shows that Declan Rice deliberately blocked the line of view of Salah's left leg so he doesn't shoot. This clip makes me furious with Zinny again.



Question: How did City do it sef? 8th to 1st!!

.

Very possible.

The difference between 1st and 8th could be 5 or 6points.

For example the diff between 1st and 3rd is currently 1 point

Spy360:

I liked him not because of what he said particularly but the boldness of taking an unpopular position and using rational thinking to defend his thoughts.

As for me, I make my opinions irrespective of whether they are popular or not. For example I am not going to say Henry is not the best goal scorer in Arsenal's history. I am not going to say Senderos is better than Saliba. But when I say Giroud is a good striker I prove it with logical and rational thinking. Obviously I was right about Giroud (he is France record goal scorer). I was right about Lacazette Vs Nketiah. I was right about Gabriel Jesus. I have been proven right again about Havertz.

I make my opinions irrespective of what majority of people say. That's because I am a thinker. My opinion may or may not align with majority. The alignment is not my problem, my problem is what are the real facts on ground.

What I praised about Hausa post is that he is bold to take such a position that's all. Many people don't think they only flow with popular opinion which I don't regard any value. Someone may say Pep is the best tactician in PL, but when asked to prove it, they can't because that opinion didn't come from their head, it came from what they saw as popular opinion.

Brother Giroud is a good striker.
Also a lot of players output depend on the system you are playing.
Kante was effective for Most Chelsea managers but was ineffective with Lampard and to a lesser extent Tuchel.

However if a player is not performing.....we ate free to call it out even though we give them benefit of doubt and then when he start performing we praise them.
Consistent player should be given some slack when they are below par.

Its as if some people have forgotten Saka so soon a player who from the wings had both double digit goals and double digits assist.
He is only behind Bellingham because Bellingham is scoring goals from midfield regularly which is not sustainable on the ling run
Let Bellingham get injury or let RM buy a striker you will know that midfield is more than just scoring goals.

Saka that single-handedly carried arsenal last season and the season before.
That guy has been overplayed and targeted for fouls. When last did u see only one person marking saka through out the game. Its usually 3.
Sallah yesterday only Zinch was on him.

Guy forget Saka na prodigy, wonderkid, top player.
Person that had to play with injury.
Even when not injury prone.

Let me ask if dem wan bid for saka u and me know anything less than 170M will not be acceptable.
Add Saliba, Rice even Gabriel Jesus. Its will take serious money to.even consider these player
Saka that was drawing completion with Haaland if not that Haaland had an insane goal season last time.

Forget even on Saka worst day he will give u a winning goal.assist.

Go.and verify jare

mostob:
Our improvement in squad depth has made it difficult to notice how injury has dealt with us this season. Below is our 2nd eleven which automatically refers to our 'subs'

Ramsdale, Kiwior, Timber, Tomiyasu, Partey, Jorginho, ESR, Vieira, Nelson, Nketiah, Trossard

How many teams in EPL can boast of team B as strong as this?

Of which most are injured or play below expectation.
Partey,Timber, ESR, Tomiyasu, Veira all injured.
Kwikor, Jorginho below par.
Nelson and Ramsdale not given enough play time.

Only Nketiah, Trosaard, and Tomiyasu are regular sub.

iamoyindamola:
Bench martinelli for trossard
Replace Kai with partey so that when zinny go astray partey will cover for him
LFC fullbacks won't overlap too much because of our wingers
We must take our chances, arteta beg your boys to take chances(martinelli the culprit)
And we have a game at anfield

.
The strength of Liverpool is there fullback.
Martinelli has to start.
Your see they will need to players each to keep Saka and Martinelli (Note Saka has not been playing very well except yesterday).
Bloop moved ATE to midfield but he operates the same way as full back (wing back). If Martinelli can get to act. AAT will have to help in that right side.
The problem really is Zinch.
And Toni is not available.
Another Problem is white.
All of a sudden he is lacking confidence.
It means Harvetz has to start .
I don't know who will help white.

White and Zinny is making Rice to work so.hard.
That guy is a baller

iamoyindamola:
We got porto
Tricky but very possible

.
Very possible if we do not have injury

mostob:
Arteta escapes disciplinary action...

'Joe Willock said the ball was already out of play'...

Partey back in training...

.

Yes. Read it.
But it was an unusual decision.
Saying Spanish word for disgrace is bad luck.
That ball was out of play jare.

As for Partey good news hopes he does not go to AfCON.

Also EPL now has the first female referee to officiate first game Dec 23.

BCA.

That's the correct and sane order

This is not a time for stories.
The Nigerian economy needs URGENT productivity.
While I cannot know the authenticity of this information.
It would be very helpful if we know the companies and the sector/ industry in which they are so that people can develop the human capital needs of the company/sector before they arrive.

Until then, it just a projected statement

iamoyindamola:

You know the funny thing PSV sef dan qualify it makes the match a dead rubber one
If we use new born babies sef it doesn't hold anything
That's the most irrelevant match we will be playing this season

.

The only relevance of the match is that arsenal will be paid 2 million plus Euro for winning.
We should mix academy player and players that hardly see game time.
E.g Elneny, Jorginho, dubbery, Nelson,Ramsdale, Kwikor, Walter, Nketiah, Trosaard,Cedric, and any two.

I pray we beat Aston Villa.

Partey should get fully healed.
He should avoid Afcon jare.
It is to his benefit if he wins the EPL b4 he decides his future

ColonelMichael:


Name one or two items that you meant?

.

Your savagery is up there.

In realistic terms, i am saying it takes more time for combustion to take place in liquid than in gaseous state.

Sir,

A vehicle I boarded caught fire while driving.
It took about 10 minutes for the car to go up in flames (the sienna didn't have a fire extinguisher.
The igbo o traders were able to pull out all their goods from the boot b4 the car caught flames.
I'm talking about heavy goods in sacks.
Over 13 bags.
I also jumped out. I was sitting at the passenger side. I posted the pics here on NL

In a nutshell , my focus is on safety hazards especially under unplanned conditions and not on affordability or other benefits on CNG over PMS

GAZZUZZ:


Shall we have this argument?

You have a 65L 13cm3 volume of gas that ruptures and starts a projected fire , in 10mins the gas would have burnt out , what will the fire fighter be putting out that he would not if it was a fuel or diesel spill.

There is a difference between fighting an oil well flame , and a vehicle accident gas related flame

My line of thought is that the gas will be burnt out in 10 mins meaning the vehicle cannot be salvaged from that fire incident whereas in liquid (PMS) though also highly flammable one or 2 items maybe salvaged before totally being burnt (especially where fire extinguisher is used).

No sir
I do not think CNG are safer.

Ask any Fire fighter, the most combustible state of heat (ignition) is the gaseous state.

I'm not saying there are no merits however if u are looking at safety then u may take the electric vehicles .

But again even the government, have they put in place the technical apparatus to fight cars ignited under CNG.?

My 2 kobo

iamoyindamola:

Obviously you didn't understand the discussion no point pushing further

.

Of course you had no point also seeing Arteta made a decision of which you had no idea why but you took to criticize.
Let end it there.
Good morning

iamoyindamola:

So why did arteta went back to his normal cb pairing since akanji is playing midfield for city😂😂

.
I cannot read Arteta's mind.
He knows why.
Let me ask you a question.
Let's assume (God forbid) Gabu has accumulated 5 yellow card and he is to miss the next match(with Tomi not available)
Should we leave the LCB position blank since Gabu isn't playing?
If Arteta believes Kwikor is not confident enough to play there
Would you prefer just throws anyone to that position that hasn't tested his strength there or would you prefer a player that has been training for it and featured in some matches in that position?

If you can answer this question you may find the answers why needed to try it out

iamoyindamola:

What are we saying what are you saying
Do you really understand the discussion

.

Since you claim i don't understand the discussion, then throw light to it.
Everything cannot be viewed from your own lens or prism. You think you know better than Arteta .

iamoyindamola:
So arteta wanted to fix what wasn't broken by benching gabu and replace him with white in the early season
Some coach they smoke gbana sha

Arteta needs to rotate his players.

The way u guys see things.
He needs to allow other player to know what it is to.be in those positins should there comes a day when they will need it.
Injury,cards, etc.
Pep is fielding Akanji in midfield....allow Arteta to do his thing.

Saka 3_ nil

Haha see Newcastle

What goes around comes around .
Now pgmol are calling it a disgrace.
When Saliba was vying for a header with Cole Palmer who deflected the ball to Saliba hand, u guys gave the penalty
So you guys can see how it feels.

I hope Newcastle still qualify for last 16 or at least Europa
