When should we be expecting Olympic squad list, camping details and other stuffs?

Deltamani:
A big Win for them, But again Arsenal have got a lot of stars on the flanks, Beth Mead, Lacasse, Caitlin Foord etc adding Mariona to it is massive improvement!

Yeah

Mikel Arteta is set to become one of the highest paid managers in the Premier League, with his new deal expected to be worth more than £10million a year.

[@SamiMokbel81_DM]

Arteta !!! 3 years more!!!

Deltamani:
Arsenal don’t need a top9 at all, there are rumors that Swedish Forward Lina Hurtig is even leaving cause of game time.

She isn’t replacing Viv though, Arsenal already got 3 players at no.9 Stina, Russo, Hurtig. Even thuo Viv have decided to play more from the No.10 position in recent time she isn’t that kind of player but as a No.9 or a false 9.

Mariona is a player who thrives on the flanks either on the Left or Right and also good at drifting into the Midfield.. She can play false 9 very well too but her main position is the Left Flank for both Barca and Spain....

Well...that's a win win for Arsenal

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Guy na true.. No drop am. E go crash.

The big load for shock the server.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Oya drop picture

Nairaland fit crash bro...

Deltamani:
Mariona Caldentey will join Arsenal. The official announcement will take place in the coming days.

She will be directly replacing Viv. Not bad..

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Agba ballers with their banny

TheGoodJoe:
For years I cried, begged and wailed, but many refused to listen. "SOAK KNOWLEDGE".

Only to get get whooped by a disjointed Manchester United team.

Like CAF, like NFF.

Let's assume Ivory coast crashed out in the semifinals, does that mean they wouldn't qualify for AFCON since only the two finalists are picked?

isan:
The expansion take effect next year , from next year the u17 world cup will also be played annually for the next 4 years

Is there an U17 WC this year? I just want to know for which AFCON the current tourney is being used as qualification format.

Danielnino00:

Bassey will gas out quickly at LWB. He should play as à part of 3-man defence

Nomyth:
Seems Cote D'Ivoire is hosting the u 17 Afcon and by virtue of that have qualified automatically as host in that case, Nigeria has qualified.

**seems***

Wow... another angle. We should be able to go through anyway anyhow.

TheGoodJoe:

The bolded says it all.

Sometimes you gotta look away bro... SMH

robosky02:
What next?


Is there a chance to go further

We wait for CAF but Nigeria should qualify. Being 3rd already put us in good position compared to Ghana

Cecco90:
Until when it's scored against your team . Remember Mahrez in 2019?

Haaa....why bring up this memory bro.


That's something I would never want to remember

Marjoribanks:
I was about cursing that boy! lol

He misses too much chances. So annoying. He should be the top scorer of this tourney but his lack of composure in the box is just frustrating. His missed against CIV got us here.

Forget the team's performance for now, I like that 'heartbraker'. Dying minute goals are bae...

You all know what to do right?

Thomas Partey’s preference is to stay at Arsenal this summer, despite transfer speculation linking him with a move away.

Unlike several other key players in the Arsenal squad, there have been no talks about a contract extension with Partey over the past 12 months and there is a belief that the club will look to move him on this summer.

Overview of the 10 games Arsenal dropped points in the league.

THREAD:

1. ARSENAL 2-2 FULHAM

Early mistake from Saka leading to Fulham goal. We come back 2-1, but Fulham with ten men equalise in 87th minute. (International break - Partey injured)

2 . ARSENAL 2-2 TOTTENHAM

Arsenal take the lead with Romero's own goal and Son equalises before HT. Rice injured & off in half time. We take the lead in the 54th minute but with Jorginho's mistake immediately after Spurs equalise.

3. CHELSEA 2-2 ARSENAL

Chelsea went up 2-0 with Palmer penalty of Saliba handball and Mudryk's fluke goal. Arsenal comeback with Rice's long range shot & Trossard's equaliser in the 84th minute. (Gabriel Jesus injured after the CL game)

4. NEWCASTLE 1-0 ARSENAL

Poor game for Eddie & Saka with a lot of physicality when just Havertz stood up equally. Bruno Guimares escaped the Red card, ball out of play and VAR gave a shocking decision in favour of Newcastle for the goal.

5. ASTON VILLA 1-0 ARSENAL

McGinn scored an early goal in the 7th minute. Poor game for attackers Jesus & Martinelli. In the end Havertz equaliser is ruled out due to handball.

6. LIVERPOOL 1-1 ARSENAL

Gabriel scored in the 4th minute and Salah equalised in the 29th minute. After that it was good defending by Arsenal that kept them in the game with Saliba with a POTM display. It was a start of our poor run with attackers not scoring.

7 . ARSENAL 0-2 WEST HAM

The attackers were not firing for Arsenal, it didn't look like a goal coming from anywhere. West Ham scored a goal early and defended well and in the end Mavropanos scored the second for them.

8. FULHAM 2-1 ARSENAL

Arsenal in a difficult period for Arsenal managed to score early through Saka in the 5th min. After that it was probably our worst game not able to complete any passes. Fulham came back with 2 goals & took 5 points off us. That was last time Eddie started.

9. MANCHESTER CITY 0-0 ARSENAL

Huge game in the context of the season for both teams can't afford to lose. Arsenal had surprising tactics but it worked well in the end one point was better than City getting 3. Saliba with another POTM display.

10. ARSENAL 0-2 ASTON VILLA

Probably the turning point in the title challenge where we gave away the lead to City. This game was in the middle of our CL fixtures against Bayern. The experiment with Havertz back in midfield & MAYBE not starting Partey cost us.

TheSuperNerd:
The Great Benjamin Franklin is still alive and now a Nigerian footballer?

Maybe he wanted to type Benjamin Frederick

Amedino99:
I'm sure we can do better than forcing Boniface to be a winger

Loud it please

germaphobe:
Let's see what he can do with the Chelsea current squad.
I was surprised to see how serious Bayern were with the Kompany chase, let's see what he can offer them next season

Everybody just dey change coach...

It is like Ten Hag is leaving too

Enzo Maresca to Chelsea.


Thegoodjoe abeg tell Amunike to apply for that Leceister job. He is more than qualified

germaphobe:
Come to think of it, Partey have been confirmed to leave, a new midfielder confirmed to be coming in his place.
A new striker hunt ongoing, so where will Havertz play next season?. Back to midfield or drag top 9 with the new striker? And it will be even hard if Jesus doesn't leave.

Meanwhile in another non arsenal news, Chelsea don confirm Leicester coach wey gain dem promotion as new coach. And what in the name of football made Bayern go for Kompany who just relegated Burnley with only 5 League wins?

Havertz will fight for spot with the incoming striker. Gabi and Martinelli will likely play on the wing.

Yea... Enzo Maresca. Chelsea are serious about competing with Arteta and Pep. He won the PL2 before moving to Leceister.

Kompany to Bayern? Be like the Kane's curse may be real afterall.

Spy360:
Our vice captain next season

Vice Captain ke? Rice, Jorginho and Gabi still dey na. I for mention Ben White but that guy can get angry if they dash him the band.

germaphobe:
This have been argued a lot of times with spy, why start it again when you know the point point?. He has his stance on that, so do you. Make we no full pages with this argument abeg.

You're right though.

Bukayo Saka’s stats in all competitions since he made it to the first-team in 2019.

40 goals and assists next season? #afc #arsenalfanaticsnews

Spy360:
Me: A false 9 is an AM playing in an advanced position as a striker but he is not. That's where the false comes from. Eg Havertz, Fabregas (at Barca)

Jodera: False 9 is a striker that drops deep. Eg Kane,

And I told you false 9 is just a position, a skillsets or even tactic on the field and can be played by either a striker or a midfielder. It has nothing to do with the player himself. Jesus can play as a false 9 as well as a Striker same thing with Havertz. Kane is another example too.

It all depends on how the team is set up. Havertz can play false 9 for us but can never play false 9 for Liverpool (with Mane and Salah). That's because he will enroach the space that should be occupied by Mane and Salah.

Spy360:
This is the formation Man United played


Rashford......... Bruno........ Garnacho
...... Mainoo............. McTominay.......
...................... Amrabat.........................
Dalot..... Martinez...... Varane .. AWB

Without the ball Bruno is most advanced, with the ball he drops deep while Rashford and Garnacho stretch the defense. If you notice, Stones and Akanji were always dragged into the midfield chasing Bruno, leaving Rashford and Garnacho 1v1 against Walker and Gvardiol respectively

I think you should go through EBL'S thread on Twitter. You will see the tactical changes and positioning there.
