Fkforyou:
Today’s match is a must win.

I pray Liverpool drops point this weekend.

On a side not. Arsenal fan have never been this divided since the last days of Wenger.

On one hand, there are those who have lost patience with the process and those that have never liked Arteta since when he became coach, while on the other hand, there are those who still have faith in the process and those that are just in love with Arteta and see him as our only messiah. 😂🤣

Quite funny actually. 😂

But na those ones wey Dey always complain about Arteta and the team Dey irritate me pass. Like, before match start, negativity don Dey ooze. No, I don’t mean having doubt at the line up or questioning it, I mean outright cursing Arteta and hoping for the team to fail, like really

At the end of the day, I really love Arsenal more than the coach or the player, I guess, Fabregas, Van Persie, Song, Nasiri and co have shattered my innocence and love for a player.
I just want Arsenal to succeed and I am really hoping the team does so.

My prediction for today is that we will win 3-0 😎

COYG!

At the end of the day, we all want the best for the team.

The bolded says it all... Arsenal comes first before any player or coach. Till now, some set of fans still complain about letting go of or not playing some players. Me, I just want a trophy. An EPL trophy.

Gabriel passed a late fitness test but I still wouldn't start him. Let him rest.

Arteta said they needed a cage to hold back Calafiori from training because he was eager to be back. (Exaggeration). For now, it is Tomiyasu and White in the treatment room.

BTW a bid of 55m was rejected by RB Liepzig for Openda.

Shock hook am when we score three from open play😂English media carry am handicap

Gucciboy:
You have saliba or is saliba joining real Madrid?

Ok sir

Arsenal are the main interested party in signing Vitor Reis! 🇧🇷

The Gunners are maintaining constant conversations with the young player's staff and there is an expectation that negotiations will intensify, with an opening offer soon.

@onossopalestra #arsenalfanaticsnews

A very young CB. I think he is right footed too.
I read through the comment section, I just dey SMH at what the fans were saying.

johnjunior39:
I feel so bad for Tierney tbh.....

I really wish he had some minutes of game time today, make we no lie tho treatment is unfair.

Just remove him out of the squad team is better, Arteta really know how to demoralized senior players, if he flare up like Auba now we will all blame him.

How do u sit everytime not even 5mins game play?

Make we no lie, Tierney in his days is better than Zinchenco


However Skelly impressed me though all his fine performance that I saw was in the midfield more like

Even Tierney himself knew he is not supposed to be here. His injury disrupted his transfer. Someone that has already bid us farewell. I really can't see what the coach has done wrong here.

Let me even ask you, is he even fit?

Adolf Hutter(Monaco manager) on Arsenal's setpieces

-- 🗣️"English media told me they can't score from open play...." 😂


😂😂😂😂😂😂

germaphobe:
He's good, but didn't expect him to start ahead of Tierney, was thinking this is Tierney's chance to start.

Tierney was never going to start. He has been out for months without any competitive football. Throwing him straight into the starting lineup may offset the balance of the team especially as we are missing key figures in the backline.

mostob:
We win by 5 goals today and we might find ourselves in second position behind Liverpool if other results go out way.

#coyg

Well, Barcelona no gree 😂😂😂

We're now 3rd with Girona and Dinamo up next.

I expect Zinchenko to instruct his missus to start packing their bag tonight. This MLS no come here to play o. The second or third time this season he would thread such a needle pass.

What's up with these one-vs-one misses?

johnjunior39:
I swear I thought it was a Wenger press statement

germaphobe:
A youth and academy graduate gets to play lb on a decisive match. we complained about giving them a chance and he listened all I need is 3 points shaa..
Arsenal my Arsenal Timber and Tierney dey bench oo.

Lol.. it has nothing to do with listening or not. It is an expected decision to start him.

johnjunior39:
If na Wenger now, everywhere will fill up with academy boys 🤣🤣🤣

'we have Josh Nicole who can step up at RB. Heaven is also available to fill in at CB. Lagbaja and Tamedo have been called up to the first team to provide depth. We're not entering the market for another defender. Tomiyasu, Gabriel and Calafiori will be back by February so they will be like new signings'

Partey and Timber are with the squad according to reports.

If it is true, both should just share minutes at RB. MLS should play LB

johnjunior39:
Kieran Tierney should play today please.

Na wa sha

I doubt Arteta will field him just like that after almost 4 months out.
Right now, we just need someone who can fix up that RB. MLS will probably play as LB.

We win by 5 goals today and we might find ourselves in second position behind Liverpool if other results go out way.

My brother, Kai is the main reason we are struggling


Kai was the major reason why Xhaka left and because of that our LHS became very useless

Kai is the major reason Arteta refused to get a quality 9 this past summer

Kai is the major reason arteta let go of ESR and veira, if you think I'm lying, go and check who was the player that occupied odegaard position while odeggard was out injured


Kai arrival took arteta project 5 steps backward



If persom tell me say the arsenal wey I watch for 22/23 season go dey depend on corner kicks for goals in 2 years time, I no go believe

K

We only have two CBs fit for today's match... Saliba and Kiwior.

We have made an adjustment to the back four nine times this season.

Quite sad

BlueRayDick:
Anybody that reads the way u hype Xhaka will think he was a big game decider before Arteta came into the team .

If anything sef , it was Arteta being patient and giving Xhaka a second chance that made him to be considered as a player u can even mention as decent for us. I mean the same Xhaka that was always racking up red cards and getting beat by opposition players in the heart of midfield ?

Xhaka was an average player up until his last season with us. All these talks of not replacing him making us bad holds no water at all. We’ve even performed better than we used since Xhaka left .

One thing I’ve noticed about u is that when u love a player , u just can’t let the love for that player go. Even when the player leaves Arsenal , u will always find a way to bring the player into discussions centered around current situation of the team .

FINITO!!!
He should mention the other three players.

germaphobe:
bro you should understand too that each time we loose it isn't obviously because of Kai , yes he has some ish... but those little hesitation from other players, missed chances, not executing well should also be thrown into the discussion, not just making it seem like we only have kai to save us cus in reality he barely does that, nor can he bear the burden of doing that. Martinelli vex me yesterday pass anybody, not just because of that offside but all round of his attacking moves.

Loud it please. Even on the day we won and Kai did not play at all, DaveP still drag am. The matter no be ordinary again.

daveP:
Guy, there's nothing flawed about who is the better shooter. Because say we grumble for Laca that year doesn't mean some things about him are better than whoever is playing that role right now.

If you can't detect the 4 players, i got nothing to say abeg.

As for that crusade, i will continue to be at the forefront solely because it is hilarious how many gunner fans reason and think. You can't see the PTSD of the end of wenger years and still be accommodating of mediocrity at present. Many see calling out the wrongs of Arteta as a crime when the very Wenger that got us our last EPL title got a hurricane of insults, backlashes and etc. But that's just an instance


There's nothing I'm saying here to defend myself that I've not said before and I'll bolden this again


If we want to get titles, we need to equal efforts by the regulars or Outsmart them


We want to win league with forwards that can't even be doubles on Goals b2b2b? We say something over and over and it looks like overreacting.


When i started the clamor for a 9, i got laughed at here and many felt i was over projecting. Now more than half are finally arriving at this same conclusion after open play goals reduced. City in worst form and na 2points gap?

No worry. I'll keep shut for a while.

Omo eh..I only asked you to name the four players Arteta has not replaced o.

Shegzdave:
We were actually discussing shooters needed in the team cause we needed one, and davep mentioned lacasera for the ‘shooting force’ and not the striking position but the ‘shooter’ in that context we were discussing

But even Me no really fancy him shooting that’s why I ask him why Lacazette, I need someone from the midfield position(Xhaka profile) that will shoot and almost blind the keeper or even throw him into the back of the net with the ball.

cc Blueraydick

You don't get? Even for shooting, Laca is still not good. According to DaveP, If Laca was in that match, he would have scored like 2 goals by shooting. This is obviously flawed as Laca himself was so poor in front of goal.

daveP:
Arteta biggest mistake is not replacing 4 major players he inherited from Emery that he also used to win FA Cup. If you're letting them go, you're getting like for like or even better replacements. That how to flourish.


As for that your comparison, abeg e no gel o. If you hear what Elneny himself said about Rice, you no go tokam. Naaaahhhhh.

You sha like flawed arguments. Later, you will be the one at the forefront of the 'we lack mentality' crusade.

Who are these four players abeg?

BlueRayDick:
Na wa o.

So an Arsenal fan is seriously asking the difference between Rice and Elneny?

Maybe we should just go back to swapping Elneny for Rice, swap Mustafi for Saliba, swap Sokratis for Gabriel and Swap Kolasinac for Calafiori.

How can u watch Rice since he joined arsenal and be asking the difference between him and Elneny? 🤷‍♂️

We should swap Odegaard for Kim Kalstrom

mine3112:
I am shocked the goal was disallowed for an offside. Although, I didn't watch the match but from what I saw this morning it doesn't look like an offside goal.

The team was poor. Coming here to discuss about that offside call might seem like something else. Bassey played martinelli on. I wonder how another Fulham player was used to draw the line.

BlueRayDick:
Arteta fumbled signing Sterling instead of signing any decent LW/RW on the market.

Martinelli just dey play but he's guaranteed a place in the team whether as a starting player or as a sub. I'm sure Trossard will feel gutted today that he was subbed off less than 60 minutes even when he come off from bench for martinelli he always comes much later in the game.

Martinelli just dey chop awoof because of his defensive game play

That Sterling na awoof signing. It was not planned at all.

I think the substitution was pre-planned as we have UCL in midweek.

Heard our owners were hell-bent on selling players first before buying. Could be why Edu resigned. Just saying.

Gabriel gats find time to teach Partey et al how to nod ball. Two consecutive games Parteey could have scored from corners and messed it up in both instances.

At this rate, shey we no go give Sterling run of games and bench Martinelli?

We may be here shouting Kai up and down. That our left wing worse. It is limiting our flow.
Martinelli had no business being offside for that goal. Wetin even vex me pass na that rubbish yellow card.

BlueRayDick:
I on just understand Dave and his obsession for a striker. Yes we know we need a striker but making Lacazette as an example of the striker that would've scored in this kinda match is just funny.

Lacazette that I named non-scoring striker because he actually doesn't as much as a striker is expected to, Dave carry am dey do example of striker wey fit score in this kind of game.


Lacazette is just a less skillful and more passionate version of Gabriel Jesus. Scoring goals is not his forte at all

I tire for the guy. You dey complain about Kai con still dey mention Lacazette.
Funny guy

daveP:
laca shoot better than Kai all day.even till now

How many shooting chances did Kai get?

BlueRayDick:
Una fin come again. How many goals did Lacazette with all those useless shooting he was doing?

Na why I just scroll pass.

Lacazette was so poor we converted him to midfielder. E remain small make the guy do a 'Joelington'

I was hoping we can win but this result is not in anyway surprising. Make we dey observe.

That second goal though...
