Leeds'penalty shouldn't have stood yesterday. How VAR ignored an offside as blatant as this is beyond me. Yet if Arsenal scored a goal, Dem go use ruler and protractor draw useless lines ... SMH.
VAR could spot a 1cm offside but couldn't spot an offside as vivid as this.
We could have lost 2 massive points yesterday.

Star boy ... Enjoy your life jor

lovewins:
USA Vs Nigeria Quarter finals confirmed.

Be like we should start wishing them a safe journey back home.

Ppogbae:
Congrats to our U17 girls for securing a Quaterfinals spot. They will face either US or Brazil

should we start wishing them a safe journey back home or make we calm down first.

Jodera:
Special Appreciation to Saka ystdy for giving us that sought after 3points.

The use of his weaker foot and how accurate it's becoming is the main reason why he's getting more dangerous and unpredictable against most full backs. The lone goal ystdy is a goal all right footer would be proud of.

Gracias boss!!

Jesus got the same chance and he sent it wide. For him to even score that goal with his weaker foot was impressive.

The girls are much more better than the tactic this coach is forcing on them. Why must everything go through the wing?

Spy360:
Whenever a player is sure of not being easily replaceable they can become complacent and rash in their decisions. I believe that's one of the problems of Gabriel.

As regarding our options, we need a leftie tackler. In a 2 CB system, one of them must be the tackler and the other the sweeper. Saliba and White are similar because they are not hard in tackling. Saliba and White are both sweepers. The only other tackler we have is Holding and he is right footed.

Holding is a sweeper too not a tackler.

Omo..this Liverpool guy took it personal sha...
That was the wrong ball dude...

Wydad hammering Rivers United by 6 goals .... What's going on

iamoyindamola:
If not for the Europa we were suppose to play city
Coming from a goal defeat to lfc, I swear apari will skin us alive
He will molest us physically and psychologically


Even if we throw in white flag he will make sure we use it to mob our blood

To make it worse, most of our players may not be at 100% for that match.
God bless the Queen.

If only we had beaten Man Utd.

Anyway, we move.

PSV on Thursday and Southampton on Sunday. Let's get it done.

4 points clear baby....

iamoyindamola:
Check it well
Allison have the long ball accuracy

True. He has the better kick of the two. Brazil is lucky sha...

daveP:
no link for our match. I hear Sky do us shege by not broadcasting...

They broadcasted bro. Just technical issue. Heard the server broke down. The officials couldn't communicate and VAR sef nor work

iamoyindamola:
Allison is the only keeper I know that's capable of assist

Ederson

Liverpool abeg...make una hold on.

Tha was a nervy and tensive match. But I'm just glad we scale through. When you're contending for the title,you need to have luck by your side and that luck really came through for us today.

Ramsdale ... He made a couple of wonderful saves. His ball distribution was not that effective today. I'm just happy he got his clean sheet. 7/10

White .. I noticed he was really tired today probably why he was caught out of position countless number of time. His performance was below his usual standard today. 5/10

Saliba ... That was a foolish handball and I wonder what he was thinking there carrying the ball with his hand. A couple of clearance and interception here and there. He also gave away the ball couple of times. 5/10

Gabriel ... Just when we're thanking God Xhaka has been rid of that bug, the doctor didn't dispose it off and Gabriel deliberately picked it up. He almost cost the team with his usual foolishness today. 5/10

Tomiyasu ... My best defender today. He was tidy and strong in a duel. Aside the ball he miscontrolled in the first half, he was excellent throughout. 7/10

Xhaka ... We were on the backfoot for most minutes of the game. He did his bit throughout the match. 7/10

Partey ... Never saw Partey been bypassed like today. However, he tried to control the game despite how we were dominated. 7/10

Odegaard ... He got the assist but his indecisiveness at the final third is worrisome. Shortly before the penalty, he could have lay off the ball for saka but he chose to pass the ball to Meslier. He was yanked off later in the match when he started misplacing passes. 6/10

Saka ... I can tell he was not his usual self today. Probably not 100% fit. He scored an impressive goal which gave the team the maximum points. 8/10

Martinelli ... He did his best today but his decision making at times was questionable. He assisted the team defensively when needed. 7/10

Jesus ... Excellent footwork to open the opponent's defence in the first half. He was available when needed but there was nothing to do as we were caged. 7/10

Tierney ... When Arteta mover Tomiyasu to RB and brought on Tierney, Leeds probably thought they would find something from the right wing. He shut off the LW when he came on. 3/10

Vieira ... He couldn't exert his influence on the match and was forced to defend. 3/10

Nketiah ... Provided a physical outlet for the team . He did the defensive work required of him when he came on. 3/10

Holding ... It can be argued his presence prevented Leeds from going long with the ball. He was not really tested but did his beat. 3/10

daveP:
We need to see how these girls can do in a hold up situation. Testing the defending side of the team. Im sha happy we have two goalies now for Falcons in future. Omilana and the u20 babe.

Yea... Both goalies have potential.

Be like say na classico and Liverpool match we go watch together. Nothing spoil

iamoyindamola:
Wetin they occur na
Make them use wireless or Bluetooth connection jare

Be like Dem don cancel the match

Izurejoice:
he is not physical enough

He has bulk up a bit sha

mostob:
That Xhaka role is covered for decade.
Prince Charlie 'xhaka' Patino

Michael Appleton (Blackpool boss) on Charlie Patino: He can deal with the ball in any area of the pitch, he can go past people. He’s as good as anyone I’ve seen on the ball. He can play as a six, as a ten and as an eight. He’s got a really, really good future ahead of him!

Leeds' undoing will be to go all out pressing our backline. All it takes to beat heir press will be a long ball towards saka or Martinelli.

BlueRayDick:
Drake don Carry Arsenal and Barca to win for him ticket .

This guy again....
Hope he doesn't jinx us.

Happy Sunday..
Let's get this done today. No complacency abeg..

Tomiyasu at LB even boost my confidence the more.

Roland17:
Entertaining this debate equates to disrespecting Zidane. Also, e come be like say pesin no wan acknowledge Arteta improvement.

Small time now e go be “Don Carlo”.

Don Carlo for him bedroom?

I wonder why the guy didn't find club to coach since.

Jodera:
Na here we dey during the bad time wey some of us troll Arteta say him be assistant to Pep and played under Wenger, graduated from famous la Masia but his team is playing like a Moyes team

Abi Mostob you don forget that picture (the dark days) wey na only one match we win for up to 3 months?

Lol...I even talk sey make Dem sack am that time. I'm not that emotional to be carried away by the recent euphoria. You sef know that one.

Comparing Zidane to Arteta normally is insane...trust me. Me sef know that.
We are talking about someone who won UCL 3 times. 3 times!!!!

Now about my argument, let me rephrase. I apologise if my earlier stance sounded ambiguous.

Zidane took over a prime Madrid team compared to Arteta. And within 3 years, see where Arteta has brought us... we're now being considered as title contender. That, to me is worthy of commendation. Now let me ask, has Zidane tried something of such? No.

But as a club owner, if my club is in disarray and I need someone to come in and calm things down, I know who I would go for.

That's my point.

That Xhaka role is covered for decade.
Prince Charlie 'xhaka' Patino

Jodera:
Aside bale, how many top Madrid players did he fall out with?

His style of play can be boring and uninspiring most times. In fact most of the games I watched then, I can hardly see any pattern of play, at other times he depends on neutralising the opposition while depending on individuality. He's a winner tho, that's just one thing I like about him but I wouldn't want him at my club. Same reason I wouldn't want Mou or Conte at my club

Why if I may ask?

Roland17:
You see why I say make e be say you Dey argue with yasef alone.

Baba, it’s okay to love Arteta, he is having his best season thus far but that doesn’t mean we should disrespect Zidane with this unholy comparison.

Typing epistle to argue for Zidane will be disrespecting my football fandom. No vess, I can’t fit.

Epistle won't be necessary. Na here we dey.
