Can we make it 8 point

Yes we can.

iamoyindamola:
Rutter is a confirm useless guy

1.1 advantage arsenal

germaphobe:
it's in our hands now for sure. I trust the team and the coach oo, but to be honest..... omor, dat fear of bottling it still dey my mind. Na Arteta cause this trauma shaa.
Ps: make una take am easy with odegaard abeg. Na beg i dey beg una.

He is good but he can be irritating to watch sometimes.

iamoyindamola:
Yes na
It's like the year is ours
6points clear

Pep will be very mad with his players in the dressing room but haaland too selfish sha.

iamoyindamola:
Madueke too was in same position
These little things are what is making city ruthless

He really needs to be talked to. That should have been a goal threatening opportunity. Even Eze is not covering himself in glory. To me he has not leave up to expectations bar the Tottenham game at the Emirates.

mostob:
Yea. Declan Rice is currently our best player. He has been taking things personally this season.

The guy is extraordinary. I pray we win the league to compliment his efforts. Bournemouth and Brighton are the two teams that consistently giving us problem. We still don't know how to beat them silly.

BlueRayDick:
Well deserved! He nearly sacrifice his life for the team, especially that point he nodded the ball right from that Villa player's leg.

I pray for injury free till end of the season.

germaphobe:
Emery ran away away the game, Arteta come dey find am to shake hands.

Na were e be.

UniversalDove:
What Chelsea plays tonight will determine the outcome

When we don't know the outcome of tonight's match yet.

No

Spy360:
Aston Villa will pass from the back, lure you out and then use long balls directly to the forward players bypassing the midfield. They usually have three men upfront even when defending. The forward players are quick and each attacking transition looks like a counterattack.

To defeat them, you must never lose possession. You must have fast defenders. You must defend as high as possible reducing the space between their forwards and their defense forcing them into a low/midblock.

When defending don't try to win possession in your defense area, clear the ball. Villa usually throw men into the box trying to outnumber the opponent and win lose balls.

Nice illustration but Emry should be winning back to back titles with this formation.

What a shame! You drew against Arsenal and the world want to collapse. Isn't better to lose against Arsenal and win this one. Atleast people will still have sympathy with you because you played with one man down. Who are you playing next?

iamoyindamola:
You are under rating our second squad with gyokeres and odegaard, that squad can finish top4

You may be right but I believe our ambition is not top 4.

iamoyindamola:
Good idea
He should just play the entire second squad and use gyokeres and odegaard

The idea looks good on paper but we must not joke with Brentford who has been in good form recently. I think we should start with our strong eleven considering we lost points at stanford bridge. We can’t afford to lose another point tomorrow. Those players may be subtituted once the game is wrap up.

dominique:
Our next game is on Wednesday, just 3 days from today. I doubt if Saliba will be back, Gabriel M certainly won't be back. We need to make the best with what we've got available.

Going forward, till Trossard gets back Eze should start on the left wing and Martinelli should come in as a sub. He (Nelli) makes better impact as a substitute than a starter

I agree with you 💯 %

I think we need to be reasonable with these players and the coaching crew. We got 7 points in one week. When was the last time we had this kind of result? Even the legendary Wenger can't boast of this. Abeg make we rest jo. In as much I was not happy with the outcome but still we need to be human too.

Altern8tor:
Oshey... Arteta is now a world class coach without d world class trophies ..

We shall see tomorrow. I repeat Maresca is not a world class but only fortunate to win it. Arteta is far better than him.

mostob:
So former Arsenal player Billy Vigar died from a trauma few weeks back. How did he sustained the injury? He collided with the advertising board while playing and had to be airlifted. I would never understand why teams are moving advertising board closer to the pitch all in the name of tactic, especially a team like Chelsea with a 'world class' coach. We no dey do am yet they call us dark art FC.

Banter aside, this is dangerous.. Very very dangerous

Agreed but Chelsea doesn't have a world class coach. He is an average coach that was fortunate to win the club world cup. Anyway, with this Manchester City result we need to go to the bridge and pick up the 3 points. Anything short of that is a bad result for me.

MSGAMBLE9:
Including Zubi, they tried midfield play then fast break/ transitioning e didn't work they kept losing the ball before they switched to long ball to bypass the midfield which works for them momentarily...
Zubi was massive yesterday...

Is it early to say Zubi is an upgrade of Partey.

[quote author=Spy360 post=137612823][/quote]Spy why now? The man also deserves some accolades. I know it is all on board for dropping the cheque.

iamoyindamola:
See depth na
Berta na God go bless you

Amen. What a game.

What a good time to be an Arsenal fan. I know we haven't won anything yet but this set of players will deliver the major trophy we have long been craving for. Thank you Bertha and Arteta for assembly these players. Special thanks to the board for their support.

Spy360:
Zubi's fault was to lose the ball. But that happened in a non dangerous area with three defenders already shielding.

Raya's fault was poor positioning that led to the goal.

If Raya was in his goal, Richarlison would not have attempted the shot from that distance. Even if he did, it would be an easy punch away for Raya who was not under pressure by any player and whose line of sight was clear.

That goal entered not because Zubi was dispossessed but because Raya was off position.

A midfieder getting dispossessed is normal error but a GK staying out of position is not normal error.

I agree with Spy 100%.

I hope our boys are back and healthy and ready to give us maximum points against our London rival because anything short of 3 points is not acceptable to me. Greetings to all.

Shegzdave:

He better do

Arteta will win any of the major trophies this season. Let's support him because this season is different. We have quality now and not quantity as used to be.

NinjaMetahuman:
That qarabag defence, if we draw or win this game na luck

You can't because this Chelsea team is weak except something drastically change in the second half.

This Chelsea team is not it at all.

mostob:
Bayern dey teach PSG better football lesson. Omo, they are going to be a big test for us.

I don't see bayen beating arsenal. The worst will be a draw soup.

iamoyindamola:
Raya is too idle abi you almost gift them goal

Merino brace already. Raya can be forgiven.

mostob:
We all agree about 3 points being only thing that matter right?
Cos this is the most boring football I've seen Arsenal play in a while.

This Merino goal was classic.

iamoyindamola:
That penalty is not fair at all
The valley touch his head before the hand, but we lead
I will be mad if it was against us

Same here bro. The penalty was very soft but the rule is the rule sha.

After so many days of trier I have been able to login. This is not fear Seun.

[quote author=MSGAMBLE9 post=137255725]A good 3 points if not an assured performance ... Team are now overtly cautious to attack else they collect massively

A clean Sheet for the stoic defence with Saliba absence in 2nd half rarely felt due to a certain 21 year old playing beyond his years....



Next up Brighton in EFL...
Our signings this season has been topnotch.
