Barryseal:
A LW is not advanced enough? Which position did Saka play this season again?

Bro..you can't compare both. Those are two different systems and scenarios.

JayromWrites:
Willock kwa, what of padlock?
Someone with 1 assist
Wetin Kepa no go see for bench

bro. .i tire o. Willock of all people.?

Barryseal:
What other midfielders? Xhaka would have passed the ball more to the strikers? Or Torriera or Guendozi who all played at the base?
Make una dey reason na.

FYI Iwobi played more as a LW so your argument that he played as advance MF is void.

Barryseal:
Who else was Arsenal's most advance midfielder outside Ozil and Iwobi? Ozil and Mikhitarian missed many games, mind you. It's academic Iwobi would have been the next player in chance created due to his starting position on the field.
T

You think Pele never missed chances? I'm telling you Aubameyang shot per goal statistics was something like one shot, one goal. Aubameyang ended up that season as the league's top scorer. Even Lacazette scored his own fair share of goals.
The koko be say Iwobi's chance created were not good enough to translate to assists. See how Saka was dropping his assists this season. Even Willock.

excuse me bro. . Did you just mention willock?

daveP:
Na that Liverpool win up am o. Else na 3.5

You try

daveP:

I go be 6.5 then.

lol. .isoright

Jodera:
Lol... I get our defenders are bad, but please let's don't paint them as if they're one derby county levels. Aside Liverpool and man city (even Liverpool sef is open seeing as Gomez is starting), which other teams do you think fit Chambers, Holding can't start? I'm seeing tanganga starting at Tottenham, Christensen, tomori starting at Chelsea, (lemme don't even talk about rudiger).

If we go to midfield, aside ceb and Xhaka and maybe torreira, nobody, and I mean nobody is worthy to start there. Also, None
of those 3 I mentioned are really creative and most of us will agree they are not up to the standard we want. All are deep lying midfielder(and/or central midfielder), no attacking midfielder. Ozil isn't the ozil we know, mkhi isn't it also. No wonder Arteta is always using 343 to mask the failings of our midfield.
We need midfielders, not another cb biko.(for now)

Agreed.

iamoyindamola:
Roland17 won't agree with you

really? Oga Roland17,come tell me why.

kodded:
bar David Luiz, not one of our defenders can walk into any top 6 team


so yes we need another defender

edit : infact none of them can be in man city sub

ok. .but i still feel MF should be our priority.But if we later sign Gabriel,all na win win.

Gabriel? Do we really need another defender again? We should be strengthening our MF rather.

Dembele: Look Vidal, this is going to be the last injury I will be having. You can bet on it.

Messi:

He had aproblem which he knows nothing about,


even if the whites hates the blacks, what was the reason, he can provide reasons, than rascism, prejury and the likes,


I just pity his deposition toward things in General

bro. . I tire o. Dude just hate anything white.

Philosopher1979:
Barclays bank of england was started with the proceeds of the slave trade

That was how many years now? The fact is we are our own problem in Africa. A visionless man will always regard his successful counterpart with hate,envy and jealousy.

IDENNAA:
I repeat again , the white have used hate and racial prejudice to destroy , loot , murder and perpetrate heinous crimes against the blacks. Who doesnt know that the wealth of the whites was build on the back of slaves. Please , pick a dann book and read. Who doesnt know that the white placed a certain people in givernment for their own benefits. You think northern Nigerian was given power to better the lives of Nigerians. You think Thomas Sankara , Patrice Lumumba m Ghadafi were killed to help you ?

Evidence. . All i want is a single evidence.

sheyishemba:
I won't beg you again but if you try this with me again as little as I'm, am gonna bring tears on your face
I won't reply any mentions again.

ChrisKels:

sheyishemba:
Baba it not my fault
I tried to be cool with them imagine him giving me all the attributes of a dog.

lolz bro. .i understand. But the fact still remain that you are not a dog. Don't take it to heart bro.
Oya no vex

Bro sheyishemba pls reduce the way you throw insults around. We all can air our different views without an oral brawl in written form.
Thanks

iamoyindamola:
The whole transfer is becoming a nightmare
I saw auba requesting for dembele before he signs

Heard about that too. It must be one of his joke cos that is just near impossible. BTW he is injury prone

This Willian rumour is gathering momentum o. I'm not that elated about his transfer though. Dude is 32 fah BTW, Guen for Coutinho?

chai! A whole me 5/10. Thank you. .lolz

daveP:
guyyyyyyyy.


It looks awful on all of them. It sure looks good one some peeps. But see, make we tok true. Even that Alampasu own dry blind eye. Their choice definitely.


Macho and Ndidi no wan join.

That Alampasu own is the worst. It even make him old. I still insist some still lookgood with it . .Awaziem, Samu and Victor.

Subzero047:
It doesn't work like that all the time, he has gone backwards he can't go backwards a second time

Ok

Subzero047:
Don’t you think England to Germany to Belgium is a moving backwards? He should be moving forward

You can't throw something upward without first dragging it downward. Let him go back to basic and rebuild.

BascoVanVeli:
Nacho had the Tecno look going at the beginning of the season

You grab bro...he just need the beard. And he should try and lick TomTom during the match.

Jodera:
How will you guys rate our players this season?

Leno 7/10... Saved us a lot of times this season, one of the reason we didn't flirt with relegation. Incredible saves made per match basis. Made some errors in some matches tho and seems to me he wasn't a commanding keeper. Overall, one of our consistent performers.

Martinez 7/10... Cool calm and collected. Never really had us scratching our head that we missed Leno. Took the opportunity been presented and took it with aplomb while crowning it up with an Fa cup win. Serious headache for Arteta in the goalkeeping department come next season

DEFENCE

Luiz... 5/10. Mr inconsistent, shine a match and flop or do something disastrous the next. Why his rating increased was cos of his two outstanding display in the semi finals and final of fa cup.

Mustafi. 4/10. .... Not much error shown this season compared to other seasons and was really gaining some momentum before injury cut short his adventure

Tierney 5/10... Came in strong, tho it took a while to show his worth due to injury he had. Hopefully will be a class act next season

Holding. 5/10... Wasn't influential tho but hardly gave a wrong foot in matches he was been played in. Hoping to be a great defender as he matures.

Sokratis.. 3/10.... Epitomises how bad arsenal defence is this season. Churned more bad games than good ones and mostly jittery on the ball.

Mari... 4/10. Showing signs of good things to come before injury halted him. We might get to see more of good things from him next season. Low rating is due to his limited game time he had with us instead of actual performance.

Chambers. 4.5/10... Was good when he was fit. Nothing influential or exceptional.

Kolasinac 2/10... I will regard him as our worst defender this season. Can't mark, can attack, can't cross and easily bypassed aside been jittery on the ball sometimes. Hope for improvement next season.

Saka 8/10... (I'll put him as a defender here cos he played more defensively than attack for us.).
Our sole creator. Really made the lb his own creating chances after chances and putting in impressive display. Definitely a contender for arsenal player of the season.

Niles... 4/10. Didn't put much of a wrong foot but wasn't exceptional except against man city, liv and Chelsea. Was really inconsistent in the beginning but improved later on with Arteta in charge.

Bellerin... 4/10... Was inconsistent also. Sometimes outpaced and he's recovery rate is decline compared to before. Still haven't improved on his crossing abilities.

Soares... 3.5/10... Hardly played due to him coming injured but the few times he did he was inconsistent.

MIDFIELD

Xhaka .. 5.5/10... Was disastrous in the beginning during Emery's charge but turned the corner when Arteta came on board. One of the consistent performers with Arteta in charge.

Torreira.. 4/10.. Not commanding in arsenal midfield compared to last season and really looked like he lost some of his form. Maybe due to formation change or tactics (who knows).
Hoping to see more of good things from him next season.

Guendouzi...4/10... Was a regular in the first half of the season. Nothing spectacular in his play and nothing to really hold him against in his play due to his position, but there's a sense of feeling that he should have offered more. Really a shame that his attitude cost him his place in the squad.

Ceballos 5.5/10... Arsenal main man in midfield aside Xhaka. Really consistent in performance but there's a feeling he could do more in terms of goals and assists.

Willock...3.5/10... A player of immaturity in his play. I don't know what he really brings to the team to be honest. Nor strong enough. He's neither dictating play nor creating play in the middle neither is he also a runner. Don't really know his strength tho.

Ozil... 3.8/10... Didn't really exert influence on the team this season. In an out of the team across the 3 managers. Great performance are few and far in between.

ATTACK

Aubameyang... 9.5/10. Really influential both during the good and bad times.. Scored wen we needed him most and rescued points for us from losing positions. Easily player of the season.

Lacazette 4.5/10.. Couldnt replicate last season form. Was wholly inconsistent as goals also dried up. Hoping next season will be great for him.

Pepe... 5.5/10. Disappointing and annoying most times as he tends to over do with the ball. Average season for him at best but he still came out with some assists to his name as goals were hard to come by as we expected of him. We really need him to improve drastically next season. Hoping the fa cup final is a hint for that

Martinelli.. 6.5/10. Was really a shining light at the tunnel in the dark days of Emery. A hard worker and a good goal scorer. Sad that injury cut him short.
Hoping for more action next season

Nketiah.. 5/10... Really tried replacing laca wen laca was off form. Scored some goals as a striker should. Hoping for more maturity and improvement in his play next season

Nelson... 4.5/10... Nothing spectacular about his play this season. Hoping he improves next season esp in his end product and decision making.

Arteta 7.5/10.... Not easy changing the mentally of this guys, and improving the organization of our team play is no mean feat. Hoping to see more of that and improvement in our team play. Hopefully, he'll be backed in the market

Have I missed anyone..??.

Mikel Arteta is prepared to sell nine Arsenal players in a bid to raise transfer funds, reports say.

The Arsenal boss had planned a major rebuild of his squad this summer but the club’s finances have taken a serious hit during the coronavirus pandemic.

Arteta must sell to go after his top targets and the Daily Mail claim the head coach has earmarked nine players he would be willing to let go this summer.

Hector Bellerin and Alexandre Lacazette headline the long list of potential departures with Sokratis, Matteo Guendouzi, Lucas Torreira, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Sead Kolasinac, Shkodran Mustafi and Rob Holding also in the shop window.

Wait o... some can still be a good backup . Due to Covid19, it might be difficult to get decent additions. Clearing out 9 players at once will weaken our team.They should do it in batches.
