Doing this to a 16-year old is insane. Are the refs no longer taking intent into consideration. I'm not sure the guy was even booked.
And I've been seeing a lot of reactions berating Arteta for his reaction on the touchline. IMO, it is justified. Kids need tough love sometimes. When you also considered we're going to Anfield with one and a half winger.

This is child abuse.
Red card as how. The guy almost broke Dowman's leg fah

Na only God fit help us for this club. Even if na Anthony Okpotu or Gbolahan Salami, we go manage

SymphonyRad:
Wow,yet another eligible player playing at a top league who has escaped NFF radar...

Na all FBs you wan make NFF cap finish?

Una no go see DaveP now.
Wait make the fraud manage bundle one assist, na that time my guy go dey bamboozle us here

BlueRayDick:
Spy is just one amongst many arsenal fan na.

🤣🤣🤣

BlueRayDick:
If Gabriel had snoozed for a minute or two, Barry would've had a good game. In the days of Musfi and Sokratis, Barry would've found a way to score a shocking goal that will disorganize the whole team.

True sha...
But the guy no just dey give that vibe.

BlueRayDick:
You guys are just creating unnecessary rivalries between players where it is not necessary.

We all know the ability of Havertz as a striker is not what we desire it to be. We all know Havertz is not a Thierry Henry elite level of striker. We all know he leaves much to be desired.

We also know about Gyokeres from his time at Sporting CP, but he's not been able to replicate that form at Arsenal. We see him score even for Sweden but somehow he's not been that guy for Arsenal.

Anybody who has watched this current arsenal team objectively well enough will tell you the truth that Gyokeres dip in form at Arsenal is neither his teammates' fault nor the manager's. ( NOTE : I SAID "OBECTIVELY" O, not people who blame Arteta for Almost everything and Anything)

Gyokeres has issues with first touch, getting in the right position and other tiny details that has made it difficult for him to be that elite striker in a big league like EPL. Some of these issues are not what manager will coach out of you.

Now the fact that the manager is pressed for time and he needs to get results with other big teams breathing down his neck; it's only normal for the manager to think of other options. Whether we like him or not, Havertz is that other option. We already agree he's not the best striker out there one can rely on, but then the manager will look at other qualities he possess and use it to his team's favour.

Me I won't fault the manager for benching Gyokeres for Havertz and vice versa when either of them didn't impress in the last one or two matches. I am more interested in the results and not who plays or who sits on the bench. I will take a new fresh striker ahead of them both any day the transfer window opens.

Omo.. Anybody wey read this thing finish con still wan argue, na OYO the person dey.
I don't just understand what the problem is. Creating issue where there's none. SMH

BlueRayDick:
Nobody is talking about how Gabriel showed Barry shege all through the match. You can literally see frustration all over Barry's face

Barry is just there TBH. His facial expressions and demeanor say it all. Everton went all in for Folarin Balogun on deadline day but Monaco were playing games with Chelsea and Everton.

Spy360:
All the excuses are now obsolete...

1. Arteta favours Havertz - obsolete
2. No one passes to VG - obsolete
3. VG should start - obsolete
4. Arteta should play him with Odegaard - obsolete
5. Spy doesn't rate VG - obsolete 😂


In the case of that no 4, I remember last season the excuse was Saka and Odegaard does not pass to him. Now it's that Arteta doesn't play him alongside Saka and Odegaard. 😂

You really underestimate the ability of Arsenal fans to pull out ridiculous excuse from somewhere. Omo eh

Please those who are using cricfy to stream, any security concern so far?

BlueRayDick:
That has always been his issue. Everyone knows he can strike the ball well such that it will end in the net, but his problem has always been his positioning, first touch and making a run at goal with the ball at his feet.

This is one thing I admire about Haaland. You won't see Haaland fighting with defenders inside box 18 (off ball o)
Baba go just ghost somewhere and boom! Goal.
I can count two scenarios today where he ought to stay back and receive cut back but he followed the defender to the near post.

BlueRayDick:
E get the way Gyokeres take dey Sha 🤦‍♂️

TBH he no too see service today.
And number one reason is due to his positioning.

Spy360:
Arteta is absolved of all blames today.

Lol.. Dey play.

Dem don use igbakugba injure Gabriel. Nonsense!

Be like we're trying to stoop (so low) to conquer today. I don't understand the kind of igbakugba wey we dey play

TheSuperNerd:
I remember praising him at Parma in here and someone said naah, he's not it.

Guy is very good.

Apology for going off topic
This Suzuki shouldn't be playing for Villa. He deserves a bigger club. I'm impressed

Gyokeres starts against Everton.

BlueRayDick:
I’m not arguing whether Havertz is a threat or not with you .

You are the one lamenting why Havertz was so deep in our half in the build up to Eze’s goal . All I’ve done is tell you that it’s actually not a big deal cos Havertz came back to join the community defence we do when we are off the ball .

You can watch the video clips again , Odegaard the creator lobbed the pass from his position which is very close to our CBs. We just gained the ball after a successful community defence , you can’t fault Havertz for being in that position at that time for doing what the coach expects him to do .

All these yeye agenda eh.
Tomorrow, if Arteta starts Gyokeres and he played poorly as usual, they will still come out to say the coach didn't set up the team to favour him. One thing about baseless agenda is you keep twisting and turning, trying to justify what shouldn't be a discussion.

One name.. Kim Min Jae

opes:
Okoye is facing strikers from Juventus, inter Milan, AC Milan, Napoli, Lazio, Roma, Como...that should be considered.

This absolutely doesn't count. I expect some people to have figured this out sooner. All this top 5 isshh na just talk.

BlueRayDick:
Is it a problem that a striker came to join the defence when we lost the ball?

You should be praising Odegaard's ingenuity for picking out Eze who obviously didn't join the team in defending in the sequence of play before the goal. I hope you know Odegaard who played the pass was farther from Havertz and even closer to our 18 yard box when he picked out that pass.

The earlier some fans realize that a traditional striker doesn't suit the Arsenal system, the better. A review of the recent transfer speculations should indicate this. Kroupi, Alvarez, Rogers. Players who can comfortably occupy different positions on the pitch.

Arteta said he is building a team that can adjust to different playing patterns according to the opposition they face.

Kane was Bayern Striker yesterday. He used to be a poacher, a fox in the box type. And now he has evolved. Baba even took a goal kick yesterday and Davies almost scored. See the way he was roaming about. Look at that pass to Davies for the equalizer.

It's why Havertz will continually start ahead of Gyokeres.
We played a lot of long balls yesterday. He was mostly at the receiving end. Something Gyokeres is not good at.

purplekayc:
Who has any information about the extent bof the saka injury against bayern

It's his quad. He was not in braces while leaving Allianz Arena.
But I hate to say this, it's about time we start looking out.

daveP:
Forest now Bayern

He's really deep🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Let me ask you something.
Aside Eze who is playing left wing, the other players, are they in the right place position-wise?
