Arteta comes to mind.

You get it.

Jodera:
DID YOU KNOW

Since the start of Last season, the duo of Partey and Xhaka have Won all the whole games they started together except two... Against Man city 2nd leg (2-1 loss) and against Liverpool 2nd leg(2-0 loss).

Dominance!!

Wow....if only Partey can stay fit.

Roland17:
Comrade, I go cellotape ya mouth oh!

Off ya mic!!

TFLASHOGEE:
Seconded as the majority vawulence leader In the house of comeradium indidi has been playing "majakobaje lowo mi"style and sonner or later something like this is bound to happen so all this shalaye wey Blue font dey do we understand but I like the way you put this comment nothing to add or remove straight to the point

hatakekakashi:
Especially the Nico boy, huge potential. I thought Inaki Williams switched to Ghana from for WC?

yea...he has been called up by Ghana. Nico was called up by Spain

Deltamani:
Fenerbahce beat Fatih Vatan Spor 3-1 in Pre Season Friendly game


Guess the current position she’s playing for Fenerbahce WFC?

RW ?

carbonado:
.... Lol..his he schem.ekhiz, i do not know, however, deltam.ani is a legend... A golden fish has no hidden place even if it is a faceless forum. I think i know who schemekhiz is though... 95% positive.

Well, scheme.rkhiz has not been available here for a while that's why I asked him.

Roland17:
Comrade off ya mic…

They are tall, domineering, fast and strong.

Both, together with Partey are what is giving confidence when we face City and Spurs

iamoyindamola:
Xhaka sha
That was needless
Any stupid challenge now you put us in trouble
Arteta should remove him for awilo

The card was not needless. It is tactical... Partey,White,Saliba and Gabriel were still in the box which means we're likely vulnerable then. He did what he had to do in order to stop their fast transition. At least he didn't headbutt or punch someone this time around

Nice match today....

We're so lucky to have Saliba and Gabriel. They're the true definition of what we call spine.

Jodera:
Maybe not "directly" threaten tho, but some kind of subtle "if you don't call me, I won't be available again" kind of "threat".

While I understand that, I'm curious to know how it works successfully for Fa to want to call them

Your first paragraph answers your question.

When the England callup is not forthcoming, they will grant an interview and talk about how they've been longing to play for Nigeria. When it's time for international games, they would rather play for U21 than Nigeria national team.

monerozi5590:
But why be sai Xavi like to d wear short T-Shirt?

Not Xavi alone sef ...All these upcoming coaches too. And the shirt must be black, Dem go con wear trouser wey be like leggings join too.

Copying Pep I guess

Jodera:
Make the guy do make his decision sharp sharp. It seems he's confused

lol...you have not being following super eagles thread. Most of these guys normally use this switch of a thing as a way of threatening England FA. Reason why Tosin Adarabioyo, Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise are still in the wilderness.

daveP:
Double Cross midfield no go bad. Truly only one X.

Yea... Xeka, Xhaka Saka

GoddyOra:
Luckily for most Brazilians, you ain't Tite. Imagine dropping Rodrygo (a far superior talent) for Martinelli, who is having his first decent run of form since he became a professional player

The only way Martinelli makes the plane to Qatar ahead of Rodrygo or even Firmino is if either of them gets killed before then cos an injured Rodrygo with one leg is far better (and more useful) than an in-form Martinelli

I'm not saying Martinelli will go to world cup...infact I'll be surprised but the bolded shows you're not following the guy at all. He had 14 goal contributions in 26 appearances in his first season(2019/2020) at Arsenal... Had 13 G/A in 36 appearances last season. This season is never his breakout season.

do4luv14:
no thanks to Rogers though

Rodgers didn't tie him down....

iamoyindamola:
I am worried about the nld

I'm not worried about the game...I'm more worried about Ode in that game. I'm quite confident against Spurs with our full squad.

Jodera:
I think he's(Nketiah) already switched sha. I don't even know if he was called up for this their upcoming friendly sef.

But yeah, I'm happy most of our players aren't in strong countries or see starting shirts.

I think amongst the top 6, we're the least in terms of core representatives

Nketiah was not called up. The only two new additions are Tariq Lamptey and inaki William.

Jodera:
Nketiah is looking to represent Ghana so he might not come back fresh too

Don't bank on Ghana not going far cos with the crop of players that wants to nationalise with them, they might qualify. Hopefully, Partey doesn't get injured.

I don't think Martinelli might be called up with the kind of form Brazil have in that wing. Rodryo wey don dey garner much madd form is even making things difficult for Martinelli.

All in all people who might see most minutes are Partey, Xhaka, Tomi and Jesus

Moderate/least minutes : Saka, Gabriel, Saliba

I feel we might not be too affected sha if no injuries affects any of our key players during the mundial, especially if most of the countries didn't go far. Once they're eliminated, that's another rest for our players to recharge themselves.

So aside injuries, it wouldn't be as bad as we dey reason am

World cup is 2 months away yet Nketiah has not switched? He may later switched though. As for Ghana not going too far, it is my own prediction and it's still a probability but there is no way they're qualifying from that group. Trust me

The bolded is one of the major reason for my post. We shouldn't be too affected. I'll probably do same thing for other teams in top 6 too.

do4luv14:
Meaning Akpos is not familiar with the squard or what

I've not watched much of Akpors. The last time I watched him was in that famous Sierra Leone match. It will be unwise to introduce him to the lineup straightaway IMO...

GoddyOra:
Richarlison is ahead of Jesus in the ST for over a year now. Jesus and Firmino should make it as the second and third ST options respectively. I retract my earlier statement on Jesus.

For Martinelli, he is very likely to miss the WC. Definitely out IMO unless injury to other options. Magalhes ain't shoe-in for the WC squad since all three of Maquinhos,Silva, and Militao are 100% sure. He will battle out with Felipe of Tico, Bremer of Juve, and Ibanez of Roma for the last 1 or 2 CB spots depending on Tite squad choice.

I agree about the other two but I still insist Jesus will likely start ahead of Richarlison for Brazil. Jesus majorly playing as a winger in City is probably the reason Richarlison has been ahead. Both can play on the wing but Jesus is a proper 9

Deltamani:
� MEDICAL REPORT! �

Patri Guijarro of FC Barcelona Femení does not present any injuries during medical checks, this after suffering a bruise on his head from a collision he had with Nay Cáceres in the 7th minute.

Nay Caceres is a real coconut head

Nice list...
I was thinking OnyeneziDANE will make it.

And who is the Nkiruka

Deltamani:
Speedy Patty George

I'm sorry to ask boss... Are you the same person as schemerkhiz?

FirstbornWds:
You know the drill!!

FirstbornWds:
His knowledge of the game cannot just die with him after he retires, he should impact it.

Well...let's wait and see

FirstbornWds:
Dembele welcomes a baby girl with his wife..


Congratulations.

Congratulations to him.

A lot of improvements were observed after he got married. And now that he is a father, La Liga should be afraid...

FirstbornWds:
I am not banking on Nico to take over Busi... That boy still has a lot to learn on what it requires to be a DM. He's more of a B2b

Right now, there is no one that can take over from Busquet in our squad unless a talent emerges from La masia.

Meliforme:
Familiarity towards Awaziem might equally be informing his preference for Akpoguma. People always prefer to try new things while looking down on the things they are used to.
As things stand, i will prefer Awaziem to Akpoguma.

Yea... 20 minutes for Akpors won't be bad too

Meliforme:
Akpoguma will add only to the squad depth.

I really want him to fight for a place. Balogun and Ekong will soon be excused based on different reasons though. That leaves us with 4 CBs in Akpors, Bassey,Semi and Awaziem. I wouldn't bank on the four right now.

FirstbornWds:
Busi has to be a coach after he retires. Just imagine him as an assistant to Pep for like 3 seasons.

The guy sef sabi

He doesn't look like someone who is interested in coaching though. He is one of the most intelligent players I've ever watched.

Well, I expect this upcoming WC not to 'hurt' us real much as there are some players that will make it back early (if you don't Gerrit forgerrit )

Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands
We don't have any key player representing any of these countries currently in our squad.

Group B: England, Iran, USA, Wales
I expect England to make it out of this group but with Southgate, not so far. Who ever came second will be home early so I expect Turner (not that he is important sha) to be back asap. Pickford may currently get the nod so Ramsdale should be back afresh. With the plethora of attackers England boast of, Saka will likely see moderate minutes. If at all England makes it far and Saka is back half fresh, Marquinho should be able to take over then. ESR , Nketiah Holding and White are debatables.

Group C: Argentina, Mexico,Saudi Arabia, Poland
We don't have any key player representing any of these countries currently in our squad.

Group D: France, Australia, Denmark, Tunisia
My major fear here is Saliba. France has the talent to make it far but the winner's curse may well work in our favour here so Saliba should be back early.


Group E: Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan
Tomiyasu is a key player for Japan but could be back early. Germany and Spain will likely make it out of the group so we should have nothing to worry about.

Group F: Belgium, Morocco, Canada, Croatia
Lokonga making the Belgium squad is highly likely now due to the exposure he is currently enjoying but may likely not be a regular starter at the tourney. Even at that, he is not a regular for Arsenal if all players are fit. We should have no problem with him.

Group G: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon
This group is a bit terrifying. Switzerland and Brazil will likely make it out with Brazil a strong contender which means we may be missing our key players in Xhaka, Jesus, Gabi, Martinelli. Marquinhos should be at home as there's no way he would make the squad ahead of Rodrygo, Raphinha and Antony. Martinelli may not make the squad too due to a lot of competition (Everton, Neymar, Richarlison,Vinicus) Jesus and Xhaka will no doubt see a lot of minutes and may not be back fresh. Finger crossed


Group H: Portugal , Ghana , Uruguay, Korea Republic
Vieira and Soarez, if part of Portugal's squad will likely not be starters for them. Partey is Ghana's star man but he should be back early. Uruguay and Portugal will likely make it out of the group. And if Ghana do prove me wrong, the should be back home early too IYKYK

All in all, Gabriel Jesus will be the only one we can be sweating on. Xhaka, going by his injury records shouldn't be a problem.
