Hale end really needs a drastic change. I can't even name a single CB that is good enough to step up. The nonsense Kiwior played yesterday is still vexing me.

BlueRayDick:
That kiwi na player wey be say his weaknesses are covered when the whole team is doing well . Any small pressure u go see how useless he is .

He was partially to blame for the 3rd goal. He lost the ball under no pressure.

Jodera:
Bellingham na poster boy for 100m attacking players
Rice na poster boy for 100m DM players


The rest can go look for their own posters

I hope and pray Bellingham keeps up with the goals though. If the goals should dry up, his side performance will never be appreciated especially by beer parlour analysts.

Shegzdave:
This is how you know an 100m player

We never pay in full sef. Imagine when we finally pay everything.... we will have a cheat code in our squad.

daveP:
we missed Yasu defensively work. But also his attacking work. Yasu looking like he wants to assist everyone to a goal. Lol

His strong left foot is a big weapon too. It aids quick transition.

daveP:
So Arteta celebration earned him a yellow? Nawa o. Meaning he won't be on the bench vs Villa

He got a yellow? I was not aware. When the stadium is small, how person wan take celebrate properly?


Although, he still got a case in court sha.

daveP:
Soares

Na winners medal for him dey load.
I wish Partey stayed to get his own too. But....

The guy na legit Yahoo boy. Just warming bench and collecting fat check.



As for Partey, his matter dey God's hand. Funny enough, he might be fit to go to Afcon.

daveP:
See the stats o. To show how poor Raya is tonight.


Touches in box
Luton-7
Arsenal-7²

Out of those 7 touches, they got 3 goals.
Out of the 3, Raya is fully to blame for 2.

This guy is no different abeg. I berated him for those nonsense goal he conceded vs Chelsea. He's refused to keep a clean sheet since Rams match vs Brentford, more than half a dozen.


Thanks to Odegaard and Rice for turning up the pressure at dying minutes. We are now the Specialists of dying minutes goals this season.

White was a level below the tempo defensively. I can count 7 instances that Odegaard had to wrestle at that RB region while the actual rb dey lucozade. Smh.

I wanted to say the same thing but he might not be fit. Tomi is injured and Arteta clearly doesn't trust that pensioner guy.

To think we have not even finished paying for Rice.

Raya na big m*d man. E dey do me like make I punch him through my phone.


Kudos to the players...they truly dig deep.

Deltamani:
She might still get a spot in the team but her Starting and coming from the bench is not available right now… Esther Okoronkwo seems to have pushed her out ..

On the Flank, Babajide is coming in and she’s quicker and more technical with excellent deliveries into the Box… Onumonu really need to sit up

There is Gift Monday too. The competition is getting tougher. She needs to sit up.

This Luton team should be playing rugby. Just foul, long ball and inshallah.

Deltamani:
I think Ifeoma Onumonu need to sit up or we put it that Oshoala and Esther as our Top9…

Where do you guys fix Onumonu??

I hate to say this but her spot is no more guaranteed. It will even be more difficult if Rinsola starts performing too.

I don't have anything against her. It is just that she didn't take her chances. The #9 was hers to be taken but she falters.

Arteta fined and banned for one match. Not sure about the news. Heard he is filing an appeal sha.

Amedino99:
any discussions wey involve tactics, he no dey put mouth. Him own unit of measurement concerning players na money. Nothing concern am with things like amount of chances created, progressive carries, passes into the final third and and so on. All these na just stat to kome.

You have said it all bro. I don't even know why he is on this thread. 😁😁

Any link please?
Those posted above are not showing the match.

Koboko99:
Everything na double, double!!!

SMH...one season wonder.

komekn:
Long ball is not an outstanding skill set ( police game) it's a tactic used and relied upon by limited poor players and poor teams. When it becomes the core strategy.

Otherwise top players and teamd use precision passing movement and skill to bring the ball forward most of the time. And yes they do use long pin point precison balls at the right time.

But if that's all you can do long ball then you will be in semi professional football.

At the bolded, it is either you overrated yourself or you are deliberately spitting false narratives because the player being discussed is not your favorite.

Arsenal 22/23 - First 20 Games
League Position: 1st
Total Goals Scored: 40
Goals Conceded: 17
EL Position: 1st
EL Goals: 8
EL Conceded: 3

Arsenal 23/24 - First 20 Games
League Position: 1st
Total Goals Scored: 45
Goals Conceded: 17
CL Position: 1st
CL Goals: 15
CL Conceded: 3

There's this Narrative that Arsenal have become worse than Last season, well it's all driven by hate and pain.Because everyone who's saying that predicted Arsenal to finish out of top 4 but they're now looking like idiots, Carragher in Particular

Deltamani:
Hoor you wan go pursue her from her Country National team?

Not really, it's been long I heard about her. Thought she retired already.

GeneralDae:
Heard anything about our 2016 goalkeeper Jonathan Alaba?

No

udatso:
Why did we send Suarez parking abeg?

Expired subscription...

Mikel Arteta on Takehiro Tomiyasu:

"We assessed him after the game, we took him off as a precaution so we'll wait.

"Whether it's useful to use him or not, we will decide tomorrow.

"He’s a strong boy and hopefully he'll be fine."

Luton boss Rob Edwards on Arsenal:

"They're very, very strong in all aspects. They're quick, they're big, they're technically good. All the best!

"I think scared [of visiting Kenilworth Road] would be the wrong word, I don't want to make them angry as well!"



God bless thee, ye humble servant. For we shall not score more than five to save thy job.

Deltamani:
They draw their first Leg (1-1)…

Burkina Faso isn’t that Bad though, they played low block which they didn’t execute the counter game upfront that would have helped them…

Their striker upfront also missed a 1-v-1 chance that could have given them the league, in all South Africa experience paid out..

Is that Kaylin Swart? She is still with their team? na wa o

Kilishihunter:
Another striker coming would make it three And either him or Roque would suffer well in terms of game time
But you might be indeed right about Roque, though we have high hopes for him, the pressure on the kid's shoulder has gradually increased because of lewa's foolishness in front of goal, he was meant to be an understudy so he'll gain experience but when that agbaya is constantly fluffing his lines what do we expect the kid to pick? I just hope Roque shines almost everytime he plays so lewa'll use that competition to step up

Two... because Lewa might just head to Saudi for the good of both party. Time to move on from the fraud.

The biggest mistake Barca would make in January is believing Roque would come in and solve our goalscoring problem immediately. We need another striker (the De Jong type) to take the pressure off the kid's shoulder at least for a while.

Where is Marc Guiu? He should be starting for us at least till Roque comes in.


Wonderful performance from Pena today.

It is like the ref carry and over 10.5 booking in his ticket. Man can't manage a match of this magnitude.

The Midfield is the engine of every team

Kudos to De Jong, Gundo and Pedri.

These backpasses is why I always said I prefer Lamine to Raphina. I just tire.

With the way Argentina players dey score this weekend.

ladies and gentlemen, it is like we are at least a goal down o.

Roland17:
Here we go with Arteta’s capping, I am sorry, I don’t believe him one bit. That doesn’t look like fatigue, that thing looks like a calf injury and he better not ruin that man’s life and career by fielding him if that injury na calf injury. I have seen Arteta lie way too much over the health of players and I am tired of it.

Shebi na here we dey, the truth will eventually come out.

Bro...easy na.

How do you expect him to know what exactly was wrong immediately after the match without proper testing?
Was Arteta not the one who subbed him off at halftime against Lens?

Omo....this ref nonsense go reach everybody. There is nothing you wan tell me, some of these refs do bet o.


Kudos to Spurs though. Imagine playing City without any CB yet still managed to get a point after going behind twice.

How far Thegoodjoe... Spurs just snatched a point without any natural CB in their lineup.


What's going on?
