Trossard o. Yeah he's better. Nelson is arguable but more talented IMO.

Noni might shocked us

Fingers crossed

dominique:
He's a gamble just like a Rodrygo but he's a less costly gamble. Anyways Trossard has agreed to a new contract, the club has no plans to offload Martinelli, we're stuck with the duo on the left till next window at least.

Well every signing is a gamble...buh if they are stuck with Tro and Nelli it will be same story as last season come May 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.......

daveP:
Na how they wan use Lokonga and Nelson naim dey worry me now. At least his own on and off go reduce now that competition plenty, although we want a better LW. This guy better show he's way better than Noni clear o.

Better than Noni? I don't think so, he's been decent coming off the bench buh whenever he starts something is always missing from him, he's not at required level for a championship hopeful like Arsenal... Maybe as a squad player like you said which still leaves them where they were last season on that wing

Strange decision especially if better quality isn't coming in for LW position they will still fall short again this season...

Some podcasters said they've shown interest in Bournemouth's Semenyo, another right winger that can play on the left like Madueke. Are left wingers that scrace in the market or they're not looking well enough, Ademola Lookman anybody? Another source said they want to reactivate Rodrygo talks with real Madrid. Only God knows wetin Arteta see for this Rodrygo body, our midfielders and defenders completely owned him when we played against Madrid. Instead of spending €100m on this malnourished looking Rodrygo, why not carry €45m and buy Lookman who can play as an AM and a LW?

Our defender owns Mbappe and Vino tooo... Rodrygo is top quality who ruffles feathers at Real alledgly declaring himself unfit for El classico last April or so and demanding LW position, you don't come back from that in Madrid ( a very proud and prestigious club)... He will suffer for it

Lookman for any English Club is a big gamble after his Everton and Leicester showing...

Aygemang have returned to Brighton on loan
I hope we won't regret this, I thought mead transfer to lioness fc is building up

She needs the playing time not 5-10 minutes late cameos... Even in cases of unforeseen circumstances of Russo, Stina injury (God Forbid), Foord, Smiths and Mead would still likely start ahead of her as a no9, why waste her on bench that's how they lost L. James, Kelly that time...

I support selling Mead now else she won't resign with a year left on her deal especially her partner in Nort-East....

mine3112:
Honestly, I don't know why we can't sign this Eze. The player wants the move and he will surely play his heart for us. Odegaard needs someone that will give him a fight. This year looks promising and we can't afford to mess it up with top clubs in England strengthening with quality players.

Funds, we should have went for him instead of Madueke, that's why some sections of fans are angry... Arsenal spending is near 200m with no real sellable assets that could fetch much e.g. Liverpool has spent over £300m buh they brought in £200m from Nunez, Diaz, Quansah and other outgoings...

It's a big shame.....

Shegzdave:
Is this not the most expensive signing in Women footie?

No it's a loan deal to get needed minutes

Achilles100:
Foundation

Hari Seldon na werey. He saw his people in trouble and he ran away.

This Season has been solid so far 🔥🔥🔥🔥.....

Danielnino00:
This year's Afrobasket has had some issues of technical glitches disrupting games..

It's becoming embarrassing

Not only technical glitches buh also Travels during games get overlooked and not penalized ( that's am not impressed with the refereeing)...

PDPGuy:
He’s going to be the Afrobasket MVP! Guy is so smooth with ball

Yes depending on the team progression...we will be facing either Senegal or South Sudan with Senegal currently leading by 21 points....

mostob:
At some point today, I yearn to see Dowman come in for Saka. How I so much like and enjoy the kid play. The quick transition tactic we played would have suit him. Shaw and Dorgu for hear am.

I mean Saka has no business playing 90mins especially with United rough play atleast give Ethan some minutes...

daveP:
Amorim should lead that team to top 4 if he solves the backline properly. He can't be relying on Maguire and Shaw at this level.

But 6 away wins
All 6 ending in 0-1 at Old Trafford?
Wow. We own them. But I'll never be satisfied till we do that 8-2 back.

Amorim did something genius yesterday, he knows Arsenal had better midfielders and he chooses to bypass the midfield with long balls from his defenders straight to Arsenal's final third thereby neutering Rice and Zubi effectiveness ( who both love ground possession play)... He simply takes the midfielders out of the game yesterday which favoured his team more...


If it's not a one-off big performance for them, they would be good cos their front 3 really make Arsenal to be cautious yesterday of all out attack...

Okogie 🔥🔥🔥🔥.... Man of the Match Kinda

I remember arguing with Jodera here that compared to City, Odegaard is like Benardo Silva and that we need our own KDB.

Gyokeres would have at least scored a goal today if Kdb or Ozil was in Odegaard's position during those transitions.

Odegaard will help you control game, dictate play and organize pressing but his major weakness is transition and that was so glaring today.

Anyway, unto the next... I'll take the 3 points.
#coyg

Ode needs to come central where he will have more options to pick passes and through ball... He's still hugging the RHS , Gyokeres had to move there ( RHS) late in the 1st half to get into the game

Redman44:
We played badly in the last quarter. Though we won but we played badly. I believe our bench can play better than that. Coach Abdulrahman needs to stop experimenting in the last quarter. Cameroun was recovering from the gap of points between us and them. I am unhappy with Dtigers.

I won't blame the Coach with the healthy lead the 6th and 7th men needs game time to keep team spirit high and not run Okogie and Aku to the ground, it's them ( the 6th men) that needs to step up

iamoyindamola:
This is what we are saying
You carry money £50m go buy backup when they hold saka we are useless
Other teams are watching and will do the same

Nelli wing was pretty free of load today Madueke try when he enters to give them reasons to worry small imagine a "Chef" outthere he would have cooked for us today...

iamoyindamola:
Nogaard wasn't in the squad

No wonder, we would have needed his physicality...

iamoyindamola:
He needs penalty since he can't convert open net

the miss shocked me ooo...was he trying to head that ball or do what exactly? He denied and own Saka an assist there 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.....

daveP:
i know we want an alternative to Odegaard right now, but if this is how it goes, na Partey we go miss pass. That guy always delivers vs Man U.

The take away from here is how fast Arteta made a change of dynamics to defend. Old Trafford na tough ground for us. But this win has opened up new mentality going forward. Amorim will cook this season no doubt with that front 3.

How Ode play 90mins shows MA hasn't changed, we miss Partey physicality and control, I expect Nørgaard to come in for the ineffective Ode to stabilize the middle...

On United, omo that Mbeomo and Cunha if well utilise will come good for ( which I won't like, my whole family are Man-Red)... We reduces the space allowed for Mbuemo which neutered their attacks in 2nd half and rendered them toothless...

iamoyindamola:
Never seen us so awful like this for years
We are just hanging on

Omo my shock no be here ..old Trafford has never been an easy place for us, we have lost and draw on our best days


I will take this, Did you see how Casemeiro never left our RHS of attack ( which opens up their midfield in order to overload the RW) :; he knows we are pretty useless at the other...

Madueke and the open gaping net


Great work from Saka ..


Finished: not pretty intact awful by Arsenal standard but job done

I pray White isn't injured oooo

daveP:
E dey vex me cos once e start my mind don dey ready for the disappointment the next 2 seconds. Is Saka missing Partey?

Partey? We seem to lack his composure and control in this game

daveP:
that counter attack, i was expecting him to drift to his wing to open up space for Odegaard, he stayed put. Smh. No contribution so far this half. There's an expressway down that man u middle and we've failed to utilize it. Annoying.

They are there for the taking in transition buh all thanks to Ode decision making so far

Shame..

Half time : United the far better and composed side so far knowing they are behind... Whatever is wrong with Ode needs fixing, the midfield hasn't settled and we won't win anything with Nelli as the go-to man on the Left... An Half littered with mistakes and bad decision making


We should be far ahead now...

Look at Nelli wasting ball as usual


Cala looking shooked

Matchday..!!!


The Boys last training exercises... Hope they feast

germaphobe:
Baba speak for yourself on the bolded. Eze florish in a free role more and that is not even arsenal game. Saying other good players are available for the same price tag is not just right and fact(you can mention a few if you think so). For one i was all in for maddison till we got odegaard and I had no excuse than to support him, and today he lifted our game so greatly, same with white. Once you're an Arsenal player I have no choice than to support you, because I love my team and want to see them prosper. Of all our wingers search this season only Madueke had a less amount to be paid for and willingness to join. Madueke na baller, you're free to drag me when his output is rubbish, but if he turns up, just take your L and move on.

Don't be triggered 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.... You talk about Versatility, Positions, Price tag and Productivity ...none of this points can you prove that Madueke is near Eze qualities or level, you are even dragging me go "willingness route" just accept your manager signed who he wanted and not who is a better player which is glaring ...

When not if he put on the jersey, I will support him (that's my emotional side) but the jury is still out on him
