I actually need Man Utd to beat Liverpool. If Liverpool pull away from the pack that would mean 3 spots left to fight for with regards to UCL 20/21

3?

Do you mean 2? Because, City is miles ahead of another other team. Don't let the current league ta me fool you. Liverpool and City has taken the 1 & 2 position already. Other teams are fighting for 3 & 4.

spillo1:
Will it be any difference if it was Chelsea or Arsenal?

It's tough. Personally, I'd take Auba over Bobby.

Goandie:
this is wat i told some one that tammy will have 2 either over score kane or kane should get injured for him 2 bench kane in that team and dont forget na captain now nd he is white tammi is dark, i dont see him playing alot

I agree with your post. Tammy will need a Messi or Ronaldo or Salah's first season performance to bench Kane. The guy is the undisputed starting striker for England. Kane, 26, I'm sure he has another 4-5 years at the top. I wish Tammy good luck. Maybe another coach will favor him Kane in the future, or Kane's form will deep (that's not even a guarantee, Vardy on my mind).

For me, it's Mo Hits. During their peak days, no group in Nigeria could rival them (I'm biased, I know )

Too bad they had such bad fallout..

Kellibae:
Bull crap, there is nothing special in that things they are doing Lets stop celebrating mediocrity... Watch Ellens show on you tube and see talented smart kids.

No offense but your comment comes off as one filled with so much bitterness.

Talents come in various grades. Some are world class, some regional, others local. Thos 'smart' kids you're talking about started from somewhere. Do you know where these boys will get to eventually?


This is not an attack. You're entitled to your opinion.

Good day.

wickedtuna:
Just embezzle money, nobody will say anything. All this oil here and there, they will dig and dig till they hit the devils bald head.

Watching Arsenal is like chore. Gladly we got the 3 points, but the football is very annoying to watch. If Emery gets a new contract, e mean say the guy get better jazz man.

Please, people should give Pepe more time. E dey be like that sometimes. Not everybody adapts easily to a new league. Personally, I will give him this year off. However, from next season, no mercy. Hopefully, he wouldn't need that long.

P.s. I'm not saying he should not be criticized when he plays rubbish.

Oh. I have this sneaky feeling Chambers will be a very good DM.

KT Sabi cross ball Abeg. Kola see your mate ooo.

solomonbrown64:
.... Are you kidding me? Today's match was a tactical battle Oga. If we had gone full throttle, we would have paid dearly for it. Rashord's inability to find space for himself today was a blessing for us. Abi Una no see wetin dem do Chelsea? I didn't like the game but both coaches got it tactically. Like or not.

Tactical battle? That match?




Maybe I was watching a different team. But, if it's the match they played today (Sep 30), Omo I did not see anything that resembled a tactical battle. However, what do I know? I'm only a Nairaland analyst.



I'm not attacking you ooo. You have a right to your opinion, just saying my own.

To be honest, I can't be happy with the nonsense we played today. FFS, can't we play one match this season without playing like cowards? I've not enjoyed on match this season, and slowly, I'm losing interest in watching Arsenal matches. Because, we somehow make every single team better than they actually are.

I understand some fans opinion for wanting to give Emery more time, but they should also realize that the more time you give, the likelier things would go worse. But who knows, he could turn things around (I doubt, especially in terms of out style of play).

Finally, welcome to the EPL, Pepe. I remember when Sane newly entered the league, for the first six months, he was rubbish. But, he picked up from Jan of that year. Hopefully, Pepe will have a similar story. I can't imagine the kinda pressure on him now. And he is not helping his case.

Well, we are just six games in. Things can change around for a player within seconds. I pray Pepe finds his form. If not... Lemme just keep quiet.

Shout out to Saka, Guen and Chambers. They were the only people who looked as if they wanted to play ball. Leno did well too.

I know some people feel our defensive setup is better now, however, I don't agree. Everybody knows United is limited attack wise. A decent team will still show is shege, especially with our so called organization.

As much as I like Unai, please Arsenal use cane push him, Abeg. The guy is not a good fit for us. I can't imagine what will happen when we play Leicester, City and Chelsea. Those teams don't surrender possession to anybody. And we know Arsenal cannot survive under constant pressure.


It will be a fun season. Either we enter level of banter era or we get things right.


Lastly, I hope Chambers and Kola did not pull their hamstrings.

solomonbrown64:
..... Today's game was quite tactical, kudos to both coaches for getting it right...

... I guess Emery knew that Pogba might start hence why he started Torreira yet Baba still found space to do his thing. Quality player that dude.

.... Emery will never go full throttle until we get our fullbacks back especially since Pepe who has yet to get his game right refuses to press. Saka had to come in to help sometimes and Guendouzi became more or less a winger completely. I really don't like his big man attitude on the pitch, he better ups his game before he joins the bench. Very dull display from him and please he should stop with those crosses of his, the thing dey kill morale.

.... We always come alive when we score and automatically seem to disregard the coach instructions but soon resort to default.

.... Xhaka had a good game but Guendouzi should be unleashed and should have more of our ball, he played more like a 6 today and did job his well, bailing us out numerous times but that's not his best position. He needs to brought more into the game else we will continue to struggle especially since we are playing without a ten.

.... Kudos to Auba, like it or not, he has really improved this season and now very deadly, one of the good things of Emery.

.... We play beautiful football when on full throttle but the fear of our defense keeps holding the team back. Leno had a great game. Good game for Saka to build confidence.

... Pepe has to do better, he really has to.

Tell me you're joking. I stopped reading after I saw that. I'm now confused if I watched another match.

ndidibabe:
Funny thread. The only top six team Man United will beat this season is Arsenal. Man United is bad but Arsenal is worse. It's as simple as that.

Chelsea are relegation candidates abi? match never let me sef.

This midfield just weak me. Hopefully, God go help Unai win this match.

drasaq:
I am a copy editor and proofreader. You can get ahold of me via email (oladapookeowo@gmail.com).

You sent me a pm, please mention me on a dead thread. I can't reply you via mail.

Lana1:
Which one is kill? Relax.
We no fit score no mean say we no fit defend. Max 2-0 win for Arsenal.

Lol. Lana, this is the best time to play you guys, but as usual, that's the kinda match Greenwood will score a brace and that 27 year old teenager will turn to Pele and Maradona.

If we don't kill United at OT, Omo e go pain me no be small. This is the worst United team I've seen in my life. Walai, he go pain me well if we draw or lose that match.

I hope Unai can take advantage of the slump in the form of our rivals. 3rd is a real possibility this year.

Finally, once KT regains match fitness, it will be difficult for Kola to displace him ooo. I know he played against a championship sid, but I was impressed.

P.s. Nelson will need to work very hard. The way I see things, Saka might not allow him to get those precious minutes. Chambers has to start against United (if he doesn't, it would be very unfair to him).

Oh, e be like say bench don format Mustafi ooo. Baba dey gather sense small small ooo.

tenmariner:
I don't know what man u deh see for this longstaff guy..deh love doing nonsense over and over again!

There is dis Bayern Leverkusen guy..
Kai Havertz...dude not looking bad

You like good thing. Bro, that guy is going to an elite team when Leverkusen decides to cash in on him. Forget say Man U get the money, will he choose them when there are better teams ask for his signature?

Swissh:
Ozil would have broken the record some few seasons back. He had like 16assist by December. Yes Ozil was in God-mode . But Lord giroud decided he had scored enough and went on goal drought about 15matches . From that season I hated giroud. Ozil ended up with 19.

Ozil was unlucky that year. I thought he would break it that year. Mehn... Giroud Bleep us that year.

Swissh:
If Kdb break Henry record I go vex . 7assist already In just 6matches.

Bro, if KDB remains fit, Baba will tear the record to pieces. I'm surprised the record as stayed for so long. Injury is the only thing that can stop him.

kokaneprodigy:
this was one of the things I pointed out too, but folks here were carried away by drab wins against Newcastle and Burnley. He doesn’t set us up to create lot of scoring chances and even bring other players into scoring positions. If Laca and Auba should have an off day lasan no goal be that.

I cried from the rooftop that his methods were not sustainable in long run they said 3 points Na the koko. 8 points out of 15 and the future looks really bleak.

With Wenger the issue was that we were not consistent, with Emery we are consistent at playing drab.

Well, if they sack the man eventually. He can't blame anybody. He is the architect of his own downfall. Very, very stubborn nigga. Imagine playing five different formations 5 games.

Even if he goes on to win the next three games, nothing changes for me. Especially if we continue with our boring buildup.

Roland17:
So the nonsense wen we dey play since get another gear?

We are just wasting Auba, that man should be competing for the UCL and titles.

Bro, if that thing should happen ehn... Nobody will be able to watch Arsenal again. Because it will be sideways passing on steroids. Unless your a fan of the opposition, it will be very painful to watch.

Roland17:
My broda, if Auba/ Laca especially the former don't extend and leave, abeg wetin remain for us? His goals are the reason why we are not on the 2nd page of the EPL standing. Biko no dey pray those kain risky prayers.

I was watching Auba's morale after Watford scored the 1st goal and you could not tell he was deflated because he was working just as hard. He was tracking back to defend and start attacks from deep, only for the idiots to ruin all his effort by conceding a silly penalty. I really pity the guy and the guy is so durable with excellent conditioning.

Or course I want him to stay. Like I said, if I were to be in his shoes, never ooo

Except Lucas's goal, Auba and Laca have scored all our goals for this season. If village people want to finish us, let Auba have injury. That's when everybody will see the nonsense we are playing.

Roland17:
I feel so bad for Auba! I mean the man works so hard to salvage our nonsense and watches others destroy it in a matter of minutes.

If I was Auba, I won't sign a new contract. There are other teams who are looking for world class strikers.

If this nonsense continues, I'd imagine laca won't sign too.

Goonermind:
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s double was canceled because the center-backs of Arsenal had an afternoon to forget in Watford.

Sokratis and David Luiz were guilty for both of Watford’s goals, as three points were lost from timid decisions and lack of concentration.

Here is how we rated the performances of the Arsenal players…

Leno 6
Couple of good saves early on to help Arsenal nullify a solid Watford start. He could not have prevented both goals but he still made some saves in the dying minutes to ensure a point. He will be gutted to not have a clean sheet but he should be proud of his display.

Maitland-Niles 6
Apart from his assist for the first goal, he made a lot of school boy errors and was run ragged by Deulofeu. He has improved defensively but his flaws more than cover his efforts.

Sokratis 4

Horrendous error for Watford’s goal. Complete lack of awareness and paid the ....

I stopped reading the moment I saw the bolded

Attempts at goal in the PL this season:

8-9 vs Newcastle. A
15-18 vs Burnley. H
5-25 vs Liverpool. A
7 - 31 vs Watford. A
26-13 vs Spurs. H



I didn't know it was this bad.

Fkhalifa:
Another to worry about is our bench, who can be call to change game for us going forward?
The squad is too thin. With Europa and carabao coming up, Fatigue and injuries looms

If I was Emery, I'd forget about those two competitions. Use the kids there, let them gain experience. Focus on the league. Apart from City and Liverpool, there is no other team far better than us. So, why bother focusing on other tournaments, especially with our squad.

eph12:
Not all your rivals won. Leicester and wolves lost na

Chai! Well, they played our other rivals.

See team

Fkhalifa:
Doucoure na Agbaya
Its high time we brought in A big warrior like Doucoure, Supermodels and midgets won't protect our defense.

kokaneprodigy:
how can u see the game as a neutral.

My brother, I knew something like this was coming. Especially after all our rivals won. I can't kill myself on top a millionaire ooo. I was just laughing throughout the second half. We don't have anything like game plan.

See Arsenal fans wailing at the viewing center

I did my own yesterday. Today, it's their turn.

Fkhalifa:
My brother, I'm still in pains, Iwobi is a fit for this kind of game, Away at teams like Watford, you need Power, pace and energy..
I said it in pre match comment, I don't trust this indomie boys at Watford..

Guen,Willock,Torreira,Ozil,Nelson will never cope if Watford switch to top gear, forget first half, they allowed us time and were just walking and strolling, 2nd half I knew we gon get done.

I was just laughing seeing Doucoure bullying those kids, the commentator even testified.

Which bullying? It's Doucoure's right to carry that ball . Him and Capoue turned to something else that second half. Just one hand, gbam, they have remove the ball from our supermodels.

I'm tired jare. I watched the match as a neutral and I was not disappointed. What a fantastic performance from Auba. Very deadly striker.
