I kinda understand why Arteta went for Merino though. Saliba's absence left a big hole in our defence. A hole White can not fill alone.

Declan rice would be a better option there. At RB

Partey will play midfield.

This game is screaming for a Nwaneri...In my opinion

johnjunior39:
Number 5, he is failing sir. Specifically too.

Let me use champions league for example, we are doing well but see our position in the table, we have conceded less but the goals are not high.


Right now, no plenty creativity again, the little chances created we are not utilizing them.

Havertz is like a Muller, he is not striker, put a striker like Auba in this team and watch how we outscore. It will even motivate others to score too.

Infact , get a Joselu self something's go see net

With your two best player out of the team?

Please remove Palmer from Chelsea
Remove Haaland and Rodri from Mancity
Remove Watkins and Martinez (keeper) and let's see whether theu will not struggle with their winning.

I didn't say they will not win I said struggle

Is it a joke you are typing here or are you actually serious? If you are serious then you need to stop whatever you are smoking before it runs you mad

Sir
You should know by that post
The person is partly mad or at best being paid.

The best Nigerian president as at today is OBJ.

He had his flaws but as far as Nigeria as an entity is concerned....he still remained the best

BlueRayDick:
So Nuno Tavares is still our player?

I learnt his form at Lazio has been impressive; abeg make his valuation swell up make we sell him before he leaves on free transfer o

.

We already agreed 7M with option to buy clause.

He transfer value is 15M in the market

@iamoyindamola

Please can we have some peace here.
This is arsenal fan thread.
Please you guys can create a new thread for trading insults and be there all day long.
Haba.. it's getting out of hand.

Let us not get to the point of reporting u guys na.

Howard Webb admit mistake against Arsenal in Brighton game for not sending the Brighton player if with a yellow for kicking ball

Can we have some decorum.


Please

What exactly is the noise about.
Are not our own leaders treating her citizen like that.

Did Nigeria citizen not voice her complaint....did her leaders show any concern.

They treated us just the exact way we are treated in our country

What's this nonsense tax.

It doesn't matter the state where this is imposed


So we should not live in peace and we cannot also die in peace.


Something most be wrong with the thinking people in authority.

Phi said he would end subsidy on fuel.

He didn't say he would float the naira at the same time.

Meaning the companies collecting subsidy money would end.
This would lead to increase in price but less than half of this magnitude because the devalue of naira is also contributory to this fuel escalation.

He would use the subsidy to part defend the naira and for production.
Of course he would now borrow less money to also defend the naira.

Increase minimum wage and then streamline and collect tax.

Not 21 billion for VP lodge, 90 billion for hajj or Israel pilgrimage or yacht and the like or SUVs.


Lots of ways to take the step by step approach

Gucciboy:
🚨 Premier League clubs with high levels of borrowing are now in danger of breaching Profitability and Sustainability Rules - Arsenal have borrowed more than £200m made up entirely of shareholder loans,

(Source: Times Sport)

In the two ruling won by Mancity it's already stated that shareholders loan should not be used in yard stick for PSR once interest is paid on it and not like a free gift which was what both Chelsea and Mancity was doing as per Abrahamnovic and the Saudi oilers.

The ruling was to reduce the amount that would be used to know how much of the PSR was exceeded.
This has reduced the Mancity exposure to PSR but there are still other allegations.

I culled the info from.BBC premier league

iamoyindamola:
Well that wasn't my point

.

Point taken.

Hopefully most of our defenders are back for the games after the international break.

What's up with Zinny sef

iamoyindamola:
I hardly see him smile
He’s our new sokratis

Abeg sokratis not on White level.


White is a colossal defender

Some legends set.


Saka and Doku in same sentence?

Please spare me.

Saka has been playing every game

Why England no drop am na.?
After all Palmer dey, Foden dey?

Why Arteta cannot do witjout him

Even in cup game.

When last did Doku start game over 5 games

The 50M arsenal put on B White na part football and part " smartness".

People who ate watching the back of their TV....saying rubbish about Saka.

Even with him not on scoring form.

They have labelled.him Mr Reliable by pundits all over. Never below 7/10.

He is always double marked by at least 2 defenders

When Nigerians where under attack....did u come out to talk?


Attack ko defense ni

Folks pls no insult please.

Just state your points opinion or observations.

This is Arsenal fan thread.
Up and onwards

BlueRayDick:
You obviously don't watch football well enough, if you do you will see Saka turning up for England everytike he's called upon. He turned up for them at the two euros he's played and at the world cup as well.

Saka is the least person u can blame for England failing to clinch any of those trophies.

Make Una dey watch matches before making all these claims that don't agree with facts

BluerayDick...why are you trying to convince people of something they don't want to accept.
Didn't pundit plead with former England coach to move Saka to left back owing to the failure of players not performing.....did Saka not play left back eventually to allow Palmer to play.

Please stop wasting energy and saliva.
The only players that Arteta refuse to drop even for cup game barring the last one is Saka just so that quality is maintained.
Please leave the argument abeg....we can't be defending player na...everything is on the pitch

Firstly we are blaming Arteta for not getting the players that was supposed to get us a backup player that will sustain the quality even when rotating.

We expected Duberry to stay as Saka back up. O r we get a Bowen for Saka.
We needed a forward and Saka deputy and another midfielder. But he went for a defender and to me all our defenders are almost out.

He sees what he sees.

White, timber, Tomi have been out.
Cala was lucky not to be injured
Imagine the defense crises
Odegard out.
G.jesus misfiring
Saka being overplayed.

But from financial standpoint maybe they needed to comply with FFP rules.

We don't know.
They know hence the sales of players .

Like I said before for the Merino deal to drag until we sold Nketiah I knew we needed to sell to buy.

Now sterling is not a bad buy based on experience and pedigree having worked with him before.
Tomi is not fit. U guys should stop seeing a player just resume training last week to assume that he is fit.
Clearly Arteta doesn't not trust a rookie into defence may be because of playing at the back.

Let give him some.slack.
Lots of players are getting injured.
The medical team may have input in selection based on the current spate of players injury.
For him.to put Partey at RB means Tomi wasn't fit but rushed that I can tell u.

Sterling and G.J need to work.on the fitness and finishing.

Rotation is key .
Yes it dropped our quality but he can't take anymore injuries to our fist 11.

It's not an excuse but a reality.
Many coaches are beginning to voice tbis.
Today Alison injured..

Thankfully we won.
You can look st the cup half empty or half full.
Learning the act to comebacks also important.
My observations
Partey can't play defence rotation.
The international break came st the right time.
Hopefully we don't loose any player.
Partey and jorginho not a good midfield combination.
Both are slow.
Cala needs to improve his defensive game.
G.J needs to be talked to. He is inhibiting our flow.

Shegzdave:


Assists like that is now new to the starboy, remember same assist to trossard against brentford last season?

Against Everton.

When they proves difficult to breakdown

I hope u know Arteta is trying to rotate but this injury list and second played stuff is too much.


G. Jesus or sterling to score.

The issue of 2 court of same jurisdiction in different locations geographically giving opposing legal injunctions on the same legal matter makes tbis a difficult task of not holding the court in contempt.
U need to sort this highest bidder purchase legal condrum before issuing this statement.

In all the major aim should be getting law as a tool to defend the weak of the society and not just a tool by the political class to settle scores

Merino is back to full training.

Southampton game very possible for a debut

ManU fans are calling for Ole Gunner Slojkar to.replace ETH.

I'm.sure the egbere Man"redo" loose mouth will take Arteta in a heart beat.

He is too beaten today to visit this thread.

Na FC twente they draw for Europa. While spurs beat them silly on their home turf.
Next time he will keep his mouth shut and not put his nose in other people butter.
I'll say let ETH continue.
He won FA cup na

Aston villa drew with Ipswich

Man U and Tottenham.

Another battle

Shadow chasing.....go and do your PMS job with Dangote and stop disturbing social media space with empty noises.

What we are saying is that shit happens.

There are many things that can go wrong due to human error.
The Liverpool that is too of table lost to Nottingham forest.

A ref can decide to look away when an oppnennt go.wirh studs on your player making him languid and jangly as in the case of Kovavic on Odegard.
A ref may give u a yellow card that's not worth it. And then give u another for a brawl that happens.
A ball.can deflect of a players guard.
An opponent can play a screamer from.oitside the box that your keeper won't reach.
Baba one and a thousandthings can happens both to us and Mancity.
Rodri is injured. If KDB is injured or Haaland get injured will u expect the same performance week in week out.
I
The most important things is the reaction and not panicking.
In fact Cala.played well yesterday yet he was all.over the place .

Ndidi yellow card was a bit harsh because the clearly won the ball. Imagine of it was ours.
Players can also loose form like Watkins as being of season.
Football is not mathematics.
If you expect is to win every single game we play.....u will.become a complainer oh.

The 11 players are human not robot.

Plus we have injury.
Crystal.palace scored yesterday against Everton and has a goal advantage
Mathematically Everton who has been the whipping boys we all taught will loose ended up winning.
The same Mourinho team that conceded 15 goals all season lost to relegated facing Sunderland.

Response is more important oh.

Were we complacent. Maybe.
But the ball.was a deflection.
And then a wondergoal.
If u are looking for perfection you will just be a frustrated fan.

Fkforyou:
My bro! What we are saying is that, if you want to be the best in premier league, you should not give such kind of room for your opponents to get back into the game. You saying this, is as if we weren’t in control of the game, like their two goals just came from no where. If you watched Trosaard’s interview, he admitted to the goals being easy goals. And by easy goals, I mean giving them a breather to take their chances at us.

The mentality we are supposed to be having is crushing our opponents totally. I mean total domination, in both Halves, we can only stop after the final whistle.

That’s the mentality that teams like Bayern and Madrid have.

Glad we were able to get a win at last and that’s because of the maturity we showed by not panicking.
But it’s our lack of urgency that put us in that position in the first place.

We needed to be swift and ruthless which we were not.That’s the only way we can get ahead of our rivals.

Mind you, we have other teams apart from Man City to contend with, let’s not get carried away.

We really need to be far ahead of everyone if we want to be winners. No room for slacking at all at all.

.
Those teams you talk about
Are they not 11 players . U think they came to sell groundnut.

They want to score.
Let ask
Why didn't Mancity beat Newcastle?
Why didn't they beat inter Milan.
Blueraydick is right.
It's how we react.
It's natural to score for the team loosing by a nil to up the ante and make something out of nothing.
Besides both goals one was a deflection the other was a wondergoal.
It's good we kept up the pressure.

Football is not mathematical.

The team you beat today second leg dem fit win you when with 2 shots on goal. See Aston villa they beat us home and away....no be the same.team.we beat this season.

Our injuries are also disrupting our balance.
White
Zinny
Odegard
Merino


Let hope Tomi is back and Merino is up to speed soon

Arteta needs to rotate with smaller teams.
His main players are playing too many games under short rest period. That a why they are not fresh.

Saka is overused and needs rest.

He needs to rotate against lesser teams.
Why half time. He suppose bring in jorginho and Nwaneri and tell them not to loose possessions.

Saka is managing his football health.

Make we no complain oh

Make them dey make headline.

Our own na to win match.

E no far...we go soon play.


U see that Raya post.

Raya fit go bathe come back ball no go.reach 18 yard box.
Raya drinking tea..

Modified

Why dem loose guard allow Leicester score na. I disappoint small oh

I.hope Zinny and Merino come back quickly and Gabriel J. finds his scoring form.again

mostob:
Yea... Compensation fee not transfer fee.

Whatever fee they call it as far as it get a into our coffers.
The sell on clause is also good

mostob:
Chido Obi Martins to United finally done.
8m plus 40% sell-on clause from reports.

.

Is that the amount we sold him and is the sell on clause for us.
