UPDATE: Martin Odegaard missed Arsenal’s recent games against Newcastle and Sevilla due to concussion after taking a blow to the face in training.



Concussion rules state players must rest for six days and be symptom free before returning to action.



Imagine what Martin Keown is thinking hearing this, new times #arsenalfanaticsnews

Temper justice with mercy

Following his assist against Burnley yesterday, Bukayo Saka is now the only Arsenal player in Premier League history to score or assist against every side he’s faced in the competition.



The 22-year-old has faced 24 different teams in the Premier League and recorded a goal contribution against every single one.




Bukayo Saka. Inevitable. #arsenalfanaticsnews

He's the reason gabu doesn't brainfart or concede unnecessary fouls too

Be like Saliba's brilliancy is rubbing off on Gabu truly...e don tey ey Gabu collect yellow card sef.

Spy360:
A DLP is a DM.

Simple.

Similarly, an inverted winger is a striker. An inverted fullback is a midfielder. A false 9 is an AM and not a striker.

ok

jihday:
him no get data again

chai....



Una too wicked on this thread.

Taiwo Awoniyi Was Not Part Of Golden Eaglets U-17 World Cup Plan - Manu Garba






Taiwo Awoniyi was the luckiest player in my FIFA U17 World Cup winning team in the UAE because he was not part of the screening exercise in Abuja and I already had a team camping in Calabar at Princeville Hotel Calabar made up of forty players and one day I flew from Calabar for a meeting at the NFF and I saw a clip of the then U15 national team match and in the clip, Taiwo Awoniyi scored a goal with the head and I just said coach Siji Olagunju should give me his number and I called, introduce myself as the head coach of the National U-17 team and told him to try and come to Calabar and fight for a place in the team.





When Awoniyi arrived at Calabar, the team doctor said why do I invite him because they were together in the national U-15 team and he was very slow and can't make it and I told him that I personally saw a clip of his game and invited him and that I want to watch him for some time and God willing, he made the team to the world cup.






Though he wasn't a first-team starter, when Success Isaac, the highest goal scorer in all the friendly games we played and at the AFCON U-17 tournament in Morocco got a hamstring injury while celebrating the goal he scored against Sweden in the group match at the world cup, Taiwo Awoniyi got his chance scored a goal with an assist and finished the world cup with 4 goals.






Taiwo Awoniyi was the main striker when we won the Super 6 Glo LMC Football Competition in Abuja 2015 defeating the likes of Enyimba, Kano Pillars, Warri Wolves, Dolphins, and National U-23, and was the main striker when we won the Afcon U20 Senegal 2015 trophy and Gold Medal and finished with 3 goals and some assist.





This story is a testimony of the development of Taiwo Awoniyi and why we have to believe in destiny whether good or bad. On a final note, I'm delighted to have played a great role in contributing to his development, and Biizinillah, the player can always get better for he is very hard-working, intelligent, calm, and disciplined.



Coach Manu Garba MFR

#naijaeagles #nigeriafootballfederation #nigeriafootball #SuperEagles #wahalafootball

Incredible

Trossard has 14 Premier League goal involvements for #Arsenal since he joined the club.


In that time only Saka (20) has more for the Gunners. @Orbinho #arsenalfanaticsnews

Newcastle getting whooped. E sweet my belle

samdolad:
Why is Kelvin Akpoguma not on the list, he has not been called for games for some time now and he plays regularly for hoffeiham, hope he does have any issue with NFF or the coach.

Because he is not good. Simple!

That awkward moment Gabu was trying to do step over at the RW
I don laugh tire.



BTW, this is what I'm talking about. Either you shoot or cross...just do something with the ball. All hose unnecessary passes dey bore me.

Spy360:
What are you asking?

A DLP is a DM with swag.

It's like saying a ball playing goalkeeper is not a goalkeeper.

No be only swag...why you no add swagger join



Oga...DLP is different from DM. The differences are very clear. Google is your friend.


The example wey you bring no follow at all.

iamoyindamola:
These guys ehn

As if no be the same club we dey watch together. Fabregas? DM? O shock me

Ruell Walters might get his debut today unless Arteta want to go for Zinchenko/Kiwior or Cedric

It is like White no dey matchday squad o.
*sighs*

iamoyindamola:
Fabregas DM? How does this mumbojumbo correlate

Spy360:
When you said he is not a DM I thought you would tell us what he is?

What position does he play?

To help you, some DM are enforcers like Makalele while some are deep lying playmakers like Pirlo. I used players you know with clearly define attributes as examples.

Players like Rice and Partey are both, that's why he is very special. Jorginho is a deep lying play maker.

You know this and you're still asking. You want a DLP to play as a lone DM for us?

Spy360:
The way you guys rate players baffles me. How you feel Jorginho as a back up is not OK is disturbing. Are you saying Jorginho is utterly useless? What will you now call Elneny?

Age apart, Jorginho is better than most DM in other top 6 starting eleven.

Jorginho is not a DM. That he plays there doesn't mean he is a DM. Do you even know who a DM is?



Many arsenal fans were not happy with his signing the. because he is not a pure DM we needed to back Partey up.

Spy360:
We don't need another DM urgently as we need another AM no 8 that is creative and plays on the left. Someone like Madison or Paqueta.

The injury to ESR is more telling than that of Partey. Having Rice and Jorginho as back up is OK to navigate this both. Both have very good injury records. We also have Elneny.

Jorginho? the same Jorginho? He is the one you're relying on as backup to Rice? And you want us to win trophy?


No be clear eye you use type this one Spy

Jodera:
Andre of fluminese abi flamengo, they just won their first ever champions League few days ago and he's a DM. He's also highly rated too.

Na we deh kill ourselves for all these "proven proven" players when players abound everywhere. All what they need are exposure and right blending/environment.

Or we play Rice In Dm. Afterall we get good AMs. Na Arteta no just wan use dem

They have to be proven as there is no more room for experiment.


AMs? You sure say we get AMs? Ode no dey create again, na so so goals baba dey score.

Vieira go don expend all his stamina at the Oda room before entering field.

Havertz? *coughs*. ...


ESR is injury proned

iamoyindamola:
PSV will be the last, lens is the next ucl match

Omo...if we don't score like 5 goals against this Lens, they should flog all our players and coach. The fact that they defeated us is not even as painful as their Twitter post after the match. Their small yansh don dey shake too much.

Jodera:
Wetin I just dey thank God he say na Jorginho last season be this.
I'm actually sad about this Partey injury and potential exit but then I have to admit his time is done here(sad to say)

I'm looking forward for our next DM but presently I'm not even optimistic. I mean, if we all know we needed Xhaka replacement and Arteta went to buy Havertz of all AMs in the world, then only God knows the kinda DM he'll buy this time

We need to Maximize this Rice's ability. I just hope we don't waste his prime here(he, Saka and Saliba especially) the way we did Sanchez and Cazorla during the prime

Where he is going to get that replacement is what I can't say. Unless we want to do snatch and grab...proven DM is kinda scarce. I think he might just go for Zubimendi but that won't be easy.

iamoyindamola:
We should get timber clone so that we can confuse those useless epl refs He's good too

Bro....



You wan bring back the Chambo/Gibbs memory

The way Rice casually snatches ball away from the opponent needs to be studied. To think he usually does that without fouling the player.



He collected one ball from Mariano yesterday, I shock.

Damioduso1:
no back up plan for iwobi if he get injured or suspended.

Creativity doesn't necessarily has to come from the midfield.

daveP:
Common Knowledge. Jorg saw it over and over but did the sideways passing. Those in studio too that night said same too.

chai...ok

daveP:
That Jorg pass is exactly what Teta advises against vs the Newcastle game. What's hilarious is him reacting on the touchline asif that's his idea. Mtcheww


That is what i want to see. Saka running in behind. Not these unproductive takeons against 3 shirts and backpasses. Goal is something Auba and Laca did seasons back.


Na Injury go be the undoing of this team at this rate. Sad to see Jesus in the stands.

How you take know?

Be like that Sevilla player collect Martinelli's GF



Saliba is not only good because he is defensively a beast but also due to the fact that the way he plays clearly exceeds his age. That tackle mehn.... He didn't rush ... he balanced himself.... increase his gear and did a clean tackle. Very impressive.




BTW, e don tey wey Gabriel Maghalhes collect yellow card... be like baba don renew subscription for him

We lack physicality up front. The suitable tactics is to be fluid and drag their defence. All this drifting and passing with rigidity no go work.
