Fabrizio : Dorgu out for 10 weeks

Arsenal fan : He bin get mind to score against us abi. God catch am. Remain that Cunha.

Another fan: the audacity to score against dark art FC.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why are we like this

BlueRayDick:
Once a team is not doing well, different agenda will start showing face from left to right so I understand.

I'm sure if we were sitting atop the league table with 18 points gap despite getting our goals through a combination of open play goals and set piece goals , nobody will be fixating on all these narratives we've been reading since Sunday. You would be seeing the same media praising the team for the same thing they are flaying us for now.

It is what it is.

I was just surprised seeing Zinchencko that has cost us points in the past suddenly being pushed as the one who would've made the difference for us this seaon. I shock!

The guy literally denied us a trophy by not keeping an offside trap.

Spy360:
I don't like this rhetoric about Odegaard. After Saka he is the best player we have.

Instead direct your attack on Arteta. Odegaard is playing to instructions because of Arteta's obsession with control and ball possession.

Arteta should reduce this intention to have over control and unleash his boys.

I can't find any other AM is creative as Odegaard in the PL right now if unleashed. Not even Fernandes

Which Odegaard please? Everybody, like everybody knows arsenal's issue now is creativity.who is supposed to solve that?(to an extent). There are matches where he had been good. I won't take that away from him. But he needs to fo more. He is supposed to be our creative fulcrum but na to dey adjust sleeve and hair Baba dey do.

Risk.. Take more risks

BlueRayDick:
Show us the percentages let's see. Let's see the difference in the percentages.

I have shown you data that actually says Man united has scored 13 set piece goals out of 36 goals as at when the data was computed two weeks ago. Chelsea also had 12 set piece goals o. We've nit even talked about penalty goals which you guys have more than us o. Do the maths

Let's see if Arsenal is an outlier in the data set or you are just making things up to satisfy your own bias that has been fuelled by social media frenzy around Arsenal.

Anybody who didn't watch the match that sees you crashing out about arsenal corner kicks would think arsenal players were deliberately playing the ball into your players on the touch line to win corners at all cost. They won't know it's actually your players blocking shots or our attempts to create something in the box that led to the corner kicks. 🤷‍♂️

When Newcastle would out muscle our players to score us via goal mouth scramble resulting from Corner kicks I didn't see rival fans telling them to take it easy on us.

Bro... The guy lost me when he said Arsenal players are crossing the ball to win corners. The most ridiculous statement I've ever read in a while. Like how does that even make sense. Is it not here we even berate the players for not crossing enough. Some football take sha

Shameless club... See as dem wan choke my players. VAR people no go see this one.

germaphobe:
Even Wenger dey vex for our inability to influence and win games from open play. What a shitshow, whatever happened to 2023 Arsenal dynamic attack. The defence that has been saving us all season collapsed.

Make this man try rest Zubimendi and timber for 2 matches, they have tried. Almost every match timber and Zubimendi dey play, and Zubi's own is mad cus he has an alternative on the bench who is premier league tested. If norgaard can play cb and calm his cool why not play him in some matches and rest Zubimendi. Now Zubimendi can't even complete 60minutes without gassing out. Ucl game nau, he go still start am.

Saka and trossard just dey play wetin I no know, so called best legs oooo.
Arteta go dey see a pattern replay over and over and yet depends on individual brilliance and corner kicks. Yesterday, corner kicks tried but individual brilliance don die since 3 matches gone, so nothing came out.
Well sha, we have been dominant against the big 6 for 3 years with nothing to show for it, lets see how we deal with the other teams and see if we can show something for it this season.

As for the bolded, the one-in-one-out injury palaver this season is the reason why some of these players are being 'overplayed'. For instance, Norgaard who is a natural deputy for Zubi is said to be injured for yesterday's match. There was a time when we had like 4 CBs out.

BTW, any attempt to rest some players will be met with backlash from some set of fans. He did the same by resting Saka and Trossard. Thank God you're here to see the gbasgbos. After women, fear Arsenal fans.

daveP:
Saka and Noni same shoes

Next fixtures kon be like wetin go make Coachie overthink

The Chelsea game will be a booster for the remaining runnof games. I hope they are mentally prepared by them.

So you don agree say na same shoe dem dey? But when coach rested Saka for Madueke for Forest match, una almost swear for am say he bench starters.

I just dey observe

lbrichman2:
Them don frustrate am
Lol

Baba don tire 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Arsenal go dey lose match, our captain go dey run up and down like duckling all in the name of pressing. Baba will adjust arm band and fix his wavy hair and gbam! Final whistle. Money go enter account at the end of the week.

Shey that wan na captain. Make dem first shave that his head before collecting the band from him. Tueh..

Make Boniface dey calm down na...

Well, maybe it's time to revert to the false 9 stuff. Since Gyokeres and Odegaard came back, and Eze and Merino got benched, we have been struggling to score. This might be the time to go back to basics. Let's revert to the lineup that got us here.

daveP:
All this is massaging the truth. The pointman is on pitch but he is made to be like he's not. THAT IS THE CRUX not him missing scrappy chances. My conscience is clear. Whether he's my fave or not, he still colet his own blame. But I'm yet to see you highlight some of what he should be held accountable for.

League coming or not doesn't mean we should be wuiet every time. That's too convenient.

let me tell you fact bro. I believe when you're not scoring, you should be contributing in one way or the other. Gyokeres is not scoring yet he is just there fighting defenders and making no impact.

What I expect of him is to at least hold up the ball and bring others into play. His first touch is bad. A big guy like Gyokeres dey lose duel to Martinez (no disrespect to Martinez here). The little chances he got what did he do with them? Ffs, foul or not, he had two free teammates aside the fact it's a sitter yet he decided to kick the ball to Mars. He need to do more. There are games that are decided without tactics and that's when you expect your players to do something extraordinary.

Una go come here dey yarn say dem no dey play for him. Gabriel Jesus scored two few days back but because he had a bad day today, dem don dey call am out. Havertz was not this bad but una wan eat the guy raw.

daveP:
I've never shyed away from blaming Gyokores, even for that last minute chance which ended as a foul. Pls blame Arteta now. Call out his blunders. Gyokores or no Gyokores, one constant remains-Arteta!!!

Abeg abeg abeg!!! Which manager will be this off the hook like Mikel? Throwing away 7points when it matters. GJ is back GJ is back but he's better off where he came from than even this stale Gyokores. We still play like we've got no pointman, relying heavily on setpieces.

We're playing like we have no pointman because the person who is supposed to be the pointman is flopping. Simple!

Everybody here calls out the coach when he messes up. He himself knew he was at fault today. He said it during the interview. But when you try to blame the coach for your man's ineffectiveness, what does that portray?

Anyway, be calm eh.. The league is coming.

dominique:
We're playing Leeds at Elland road not a easy place to take 3 points but anything can happen. Honestly I don't think spuds can have any effect on this current city with more than half of their players out injured. I don't want us to be looking up to other teams to help us win the league, let's just try to be winning our matches one game at a time

I understand you. This has always been my stance. Win your game and let others worry about theirs.
As for this season, it may have gone sha. But I like surprises and comeback stories.

ajalawole:
arteta no be savour again.

No o. Na De Zerbi now o

daveP:
Gyokores hugged the last line and didn't receive balls. Manager on touchline waved him to drop deep. He did and all through our counters guy was caught out of position. When he's in position, hin no dey see ball. That backline were comfy throughout the game except during our corner kicks. And na only Maguire tall pass there. Yet!!
GJ started one counter on the lw and turned back instead of going further up the pitch despite the space. How is he now better than Gyokores wey no dey see any ball. Barely 6 games of his return and his fan boys are now quiet. Can't even make an opponent scared. I wanted him to start but he disappeared and whe he reappeared i wished he stayed as a ghost.

Your MCM wey you clamour for last season, what's been his impact this season? You swore Arteta was stubborn not to get a striker. You even joined them to spread the falsehood here that Arteta is imposing Sesko on the board. You and your cronies are here jubilating when we signed Victor (as per Berta vs Arteta agenda). Now, you're turning around blaming the coach when your favorite striker is stinking all over the field. What hypocrisy!

I mean, just look at that header and the last minute chance he messed up. Omo eh

dominique:
No be this season biko, apari sef go still collect. They'll be playing spuds next, a team that has always given them headache home and away even when they were in relegation zone last season. Let's hope they maintain the status quo.

If Spurs beat City, Arsenal fit lose. Don't bank on it. They have Guehi and that Khusanov.

germaphobe:
The crazy thing is that Man city has never lost a title race, to beat City to the title you need to be several points ahead. Now the pressure will be much than earlier in the season cus na now our Bleep up dey always start. Make I hear say any Arsenal fan never dey get doubt already.

Na from that Liverpool match I don let go. We will continue next season. But I sincerely wish Arteta can resign so we can have De Zerbi abi na that Michel Sanchez.

Imagine no be foul, na so Brock Lesnar for miss that last minute sitter.

daveP:
This loss is Arteta's full responsibility abeg.

Dem don start 🤣🤣

Sesko is in... Gutted he's playing for the opposing side

A team competing for trophy shouldn't be conceding such goal. Mtchew.

germaphobe:
he was said to pick up a little injury that is being managed by the medical team. Maybe fitness and all

Oh I see. That's bizzare though. For someone who doesn't play much and getting injured.

Dorgu on the wing. Mbeumo up front.

Interesting!

BlueRayDick:
A very fluid front 3.

I would've preferred Calafiori as LB, but let's hope Hincapie will get the job done.

I think I need to stop pretending but what's going on with Norgaard? He's like thr backup to Zubi and he should surely be making the reserve list on MDs.

When you see it 🤣🤣🤣

charlesemeka85:
they are doing well and growing rapidly my brother

God have been merciful and I can’t thank him enough 😊😊😊😊😊😊

As for the project Mbappe we re on it cus the boy already get bow leg. I just pray say him go love football as I love am cus him dey fortunate to be in the right environment where his talent can be spotted and harnessed easily 👊🥰

Alright bro... Wishing them well.

Spy360:
This guy may come back looking like a prime Iniesta.

I love this loan deal.

Arteta said he spoke with De Zerbi before the loan materialize. De Zerbi is a good coach so Ethan will definitely learn something.

Ethan scores his first goal for Marseille. A vintage and proper AM goal.

charlesemeka85:
my brother eeh, even recently I asked him if he gets paid to hype certain players here unknowingly to us all cus the way him dey carry some players matter for head here eeeh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Person wey even few months ago went to extend of calling me a hater of players from a particular region in 9ja 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s high time we start seeing our gathering here just for the love of the game and super eagles in general rather than an avenue to drag/measure superiority or what so ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Days are gone wey I go come dey beef/argue or fight person here for players/football matter. Nwanne man no be pikin anymore ooo

Talking about pikin, how is family doing boss? Hope you don buy boot and jersey for ejima. Project Mbappe must start soon.

Hopefully Marseille won't mix them up. We need Jurien for United match o
