Jodera:
We're still at advantage except Liverpool start going on a crazy run of goalscoring consistently which I don't see happening.

We just need to keep winning now that's all. Even if They'd lost ystdy, we still needed to keep winning cos whether any draw or loss, then it'll be out of our hands.

Thank God the three of us still dey European competition. City's squad has depleted sha... I saw their bench on Saturday and I was kinda surprised.

Jodera:
Sa-Gabi backline??

Did you notice Saliba's countenance when Gabriel was being treated during that Brighton's game? Like I con dey pity am like a man whose wife is about to enter labour room.

Man was just bending and bending asking Gabriel if he is fine. The 'bromance' between them eh.

Think about Gabriel's reaction too when he was asked about Saliba's injury last season.

daveP:
Two both of you, better dey take wetin i tok more seriously


Overall, we're most grateful for the presence of these two. We need to coin an Alias for them. Europe will hear it taya. Dare to believe!

Pastor David, abeg help me check wetin go happen before this month's end. I promise to sow a seed sir.

iamoyindamola:
Even klopp wan win league the man they advise man utd to play better than yesterday or else arsenal will beat them
That's his own way of supporting man utd
If you can't beat them you join body with them to form coup

That guy too get mouth. I still can't believe he has only won 1 league title in 9 years. I stand to be corrected sha.

.


Departures

Partey,Cedric, ESR, Nketiah, Elneny.Ramsdale
Depending on bid...Nelson, Lokonga
Depending on negotiation; Jorginho .


Arteta won't sell GJ or Zinny
Unless very good bid.

The race for title is still open.

We aren't in advantage until our rivals have another slip.

Goal difference is not an.advantage yet.
Points are.

Our major match will be Tottenham and to a lesser extent Man U.

Aston villa and Chelsea both have important games before our. We have 4 days of rest.
Aston villa have 2 days of rest.
Chelsea play FA cup with Mancity before our game.
Tottenham and wolves pur major games.

Liverpool have 3 straight away games though. Fulham, West ham and Aston villa I think (they have long rest for this)[/b]

Bro... the bolded just shoot up my morale. You must have been doing a lot of permutations with the fixtures o.
And you're right, Spurs game is a big decider especially as they would be playing City and Liverpool back to back.

As for transfers, I didn't specifically states that both Zinny and Jesus will leave in the summer. I said 'coming windows'. With Timber as the first choice LB next season, Zinny's game time will be greatly reduced. Although Arteta might decide to move him to midfield. Jesus'injury issues is also part of why I think he might not stay long at Arsenal.

Shegzdave:
Why is Jesus and Zinchenko par of the possible departures??

I don't think they would want to sit on the bench. With Timber back, Zinchenko's time will reduce. And if we sign another forward, Jesus won't get enough game time.

Jodera:
The bolded is true. Hopefully we'll be able to get good sums. We don really suffer for that aspect.

As for our incoming transfer, I no deh put mind again. Arteta fit just go buy another person wey we no really need him position sef. Na watch I go just dey observe

As for incoming transfer, Arteta is free to do whatever he wishes abeg. We have all doubted his recent signings only to end up swallowing Ls. Let him do whatever he likes abeg.

We will have a lot of departures in the coming windows. Partey, Jorginho, Pensioner, Ramsdale, Zinchenko, Nketiah, Jesus, Nelson, Elneny and others. So if Arteta should sign someone who we all deemed surplus to requirement, I'll take it that he is preparing for the future.

Jodera:
DaveP might be right afterall

As in...if e later happen, make DaveP just open Church. I can be the assistant Pastor.

Jodera:
We might still sign.

I don't think he'll want to use GJ and Trossard there again, plus Nketiah will be moved on

Let's wait and see sha

Probably a second grade striker... Jesus will either leave or move to the wing.

One area we have improved is in the transfer dealing. Most of our players that will be in the transfer market in the next two windows will definitely command good money because they're definitely not fringe players.

Before eh, we're always at a disadvantage.

Jodera:
More like 7more finals

Yea... one at a time. #coyg This season's EPL winner may be decided with GD.

Jodera:
Finally, Arteta don finally heed to my call.

Call wey I don deh make since beginning of season. Mos.tob you remember na

No wonder our gameplay just dey smooth

Yea...I remember. The issue now is we might not be signing any striker again.

7 more wins ....

Arsenal’s 3.23 expected goals today was the MOST Brighton have conceded in their history at home under Roberto De Zerbi.

Jodera:
Kiwior didn't play on Wednesday, yet his other back 3 teammates played. He didn't even come as a sub. I took it as Arteta giving him a rest.

Against Brighton, he didn't start again, neither did he come on as a sub.

One thing I know is that Arteta takes match fitness seriously so it's surprising to see Kiwior not Play any of these two games when Fit.

So, I'm thinking, Are you sure Arteta won't start Zinny against Bayern? Or am I overthinking it??

It might be a little injury. like a little knock maybe. I don't think Zinny will start. We need to get used to the fact that Zinny's time on the bench will keep increasing with the 4-2-4 we're using now.

Tomiyasu might likely start.

Jodera:

Today na Sunday, I'll ensure to do that for Arsenal.

On serious note, I wonder if the same thing is applicable to Trey offline. Does it affect his life outside social media? na wa o

Mikel Arteta on the team celebrating Gabriel’s block: “That’s really pleasing for all the coaches to see that reaction from the team at 3-0. It’s great because that tells you how much they want it, the importance & focus they put in every single ball, that was an extra bonus.” #arsenalfanaticsnews

Arteta on keeping Havertz at CF:

“You can have certain ideas but then you see certain relationships and it flows. When it flows you have to let it go....

"The team is really comfortable with him there & the rest has happened naturally.”
#arsenalfanaticsnews

daveP:
It will be a miracle if he chooses us. If we end on high, it will be super attractive cos our form is causing such a rave right now.

With Alonso staying for next season, e go hard small. Bayer are on 30+ games unbeaten right now. They can't reach 49, can they?

Jodera:
Even Trey deh praise arsenal

We should be afraid TBH.
That guy lives in the world or inversion. If em curse you, go and do thanksgiving in the church. And if em pray for you, better go swallow Abido shaker and gandusa.

Fkforyou:
I agree.

I would nominate him in a heartbeat for Arsenal player of the Season. Man’s a joy to watch.

Pure and proper defender he is. You see that block celebration, it shows he has target to achieve, which is to concede less goal/clean sheet. That’s a leader right there.

Na why sometimes, I for like knock Zichenko for head with his nonstop lapse in concentration. It’s like sometimes he forgets to defend, putting Gabby and others into undue pressure.

Big Gabby is na Agba baller Abeg!

I'm just glad we have him.
If Zinchenko is not leaving anytime soon, we might just move him to midfield especially as we're now using double pivot. Infact, he will be benched when Timber is fully fit.

David Raya is the first goalkeeper in Arsenal's history to keep a clean sheet in five consecutive away league appearances.

Deltamani:
One For The Future

I just dey pity the attacker this girl go jam. Aboniki balm won't be enough to reduce the pain.

Jodera:
I didn't say he's unserious tho neither did I imply such.

I knew that day it's miscommunication reason why I didn't blame him that day. My point is that if it cast very few people will be forgiving and they'll forget about how he's been "Rolls-Roycing" for years

We are saying the same thing. bro.

That's life bro... hossanah today, nail him tomorrow.

Jodera:
E shock me

Omorr, that guy is confident sha. But there's a thing line between confidence and overconfidence sha. Na so guys here vex against Liverpool when Diaz capitalised on that

That Liverpool own na miscommunication sha.... Saliba is not that unserious.

Shegzdave:
Who else saw the way Saliba dribbled that Brighton player in our box

E shock me bro... inside the box FFS. He just calmly sent the guy hotdog

daveP:
I tell you. Many of the big scorers don't have defensive duties atall. Plus most of them, except Haaland, are fast and superb on counter. If guy just dey high, omo!!! Defenders go hearam.

1. Not all teams play the same pattern.
2. All the 'big scorers' as well as Saka have different skillsets and attributes.
Saka is not a wide forward, he is a proper winger. He is quite flexible.
And if you want him to have less defensive work, that means we must dominate from the first till the last minute which is quite impossible.

daveP:
That's true. I doubt they'll release sha. Unless our fee is attractive enough.

Yea... it'll be hard. We don't have any edge over Bayer that we can use to convince him.

isan:
Palmer is better for half price of havertz

No talk this thing outside o. You think all Havertz does is just to wait at the final third and play PKs

I'm.just so glad Gabriel Magalhaes met Arteta. Man was heading Gabriel Paulista's way until Arteta refined his mentality.

Man is now using all those gidigbo energy wey e dey use fight that year to do better things for the team.

That clearance celebration dey give me goosebumps.

daveP:
MA should use pull to snatch Xavi Simons or that Bakayoko of Lens. Or better still, Olise. All 3 will love to be in a team with such solid defense sincerely.

Florian Wirtz!!!! That's who we should be going for. A proper cerebral player like Odegaard.

Nice match...

The biggest moment for me was in the first half.
Normally, there are moments during a match when the most 'humanly' thing to do is to clear a dangerous ball. Like, you go shoot am sotey Dem go pick that ball outside the stadium.
Surprisingly, Saliba doesn't buy the idea. Man will wait till the marker closes in before sending him to Bariga. Then he would release a very neat pass that the receiver would receive without any stressful effort.
Dem no dey call am Roll Royce for fun.

Saka is back in starting lineup. Martinelli, Kiwior and Trossard on the bench.
Havertz is a yellow card away from a 2-game ban
