It's because of days like this that things don't go your way that you grabbed every points on board, no be today that hapless draw at Forests in a game that could have extend the lead to 9 was a gravely missed opportunity....


They called us Negative fans...

French league is a very good place to develop your skills as a player. The opposition are not too fast and not too slow, and the coaches are technically inclined.

I don't know about that, he would be competing with Greenwood ( one of the best player in Europe this season) for both the RW and AM cos he played both for them depending on the opposition, even Paxiao played the AM position too regularly especially when Auba is fit... Would have preferred an EPL side even Wolves, Leeds or Burnley since the EPL would be his forte in the long term...

I wish him well and good luck...

Mikel Arteta: “Mosquera is supposed to be another two weeks before coming back, but the medical staff and the sports scientists, they've done incredibly well with him to work every single hour to give him the chance to play.

“Today (vs Inter Milan) he had to play against top strikers, I think he's done an incredible job.”

[Arsenal]

Mosquera has always been good especially when paired with either Saliba or Gabriel so I wasn't surprised, he seems to lack a bit of understanding with Hincapie for now... Hope we can rest Sally and Gabi more going forward, am still of scared the load on Zubi he barely gets any reprieve this season

iamoyindamola:
So saka they this match
Wonderful

He dey and unfortunately he's been having much of the ball but his decision making has been terrible... He has chances to play in Jesus for Hat-Trick but shoot wayward...

iamoyindamola:
People's excuse to defend Arteta is the youngsters are not ready
Whereas they came through last season when we were missing key players

Thank God, Saka destiny wasn't left to him, I feel for Ethan sha cos he was never trusted

You know I said it here that Saka so-called injury is a cook-up lie to deflect the media from his rubbish decisions last weekend...

Who do we have Here for dead rubber match ... Yeye Manager

They should keep finding excuses for his misplaced priority...

mostob:
Bodo dey whip Man City ke...

Yep, they have been very wasteful at it, they should have been atleast 4-0 up by now....

iamoyindamola:
This is not squad depth, this man is scared
He doesn't have any faith in youngsters

You nailed it... None of Madueke, Ode or Eze has shown so far that they are better than Ethan of Last season either with goals or assists return...

EXCL 🚨 Marseille are working on a deal to sign Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri on loan for the rest of the season.

Nothing is agreed yet but any arrangement would include a fee that is changeable, depending on appearances, and no option to buy.

There remains other interest in the 18-year-old from the Premier League and elsewhere in Europe — though some suitors wanted a permanent mechanism, which Arsenal will not allow.

Marseille head coach Roberto De Zerbi has held positive talks with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Nwaneri, with the Italian and his style of play a prominent factor in the Ligue 1 side being favoured by their Premier League counterparts.

iamoyindamola:
I don't trust him

Atleast he has good hold up play and he understands the League... The way they are shrugging / Muscling Viktor off the ball despite his big frame dey pain me...


That Ndiaye just missed a glorious chance for Senegal right now... But nonetheless a very good player

iamoyindamola:
We need to test everton for ndiaye and give them ethan on loan
We need creativity asap

I would have Mateta at this point over Viktor who is looking like an "Otu" by the minutes....

Spy360:
What if Amorim was at Arsenal, I guess you would be singing his praises right?

My serial bottler will win the league, your saviour has been sacked already

Amorin might have gotten us across the line being a serial winner from where he's coming from... If Slot can do it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This one wey we dey Noah boats for half a decade with nothing to show, one would have atleast think MA for don get small sense but no he prefers dead rubber to 9 points lead...

Apari juju strong sha... The half-baked always win the mid season title 🤣🤣🤣🤣....

...

Spy360:
As you forgot that you said we should have signed Amorim when he went to Man United?

If this perennial bottler was at United, your Saviour would have been long gone 🤣🤣🤣🤣.....

Shoes get sizes 🤣🤣 🤣...

germaphobe:
bro it is clear you can never understand the things I say with how you rush to reply without addressing whatever I type. Whatever you have with Arteta is your concern bro. What you said up here is totally not related to what I addressed up. But C’est la vie, let's see what happens in May.

E go be 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.....

germaphobe:
it's one thing to be ready to accept your words and another thing to see your words being twisted. Same reddit and twitter that I am active in and share banter everyday. Bro call out someone directly if you want to call out someone, not generalising one person opinion nor changing what they said. I told you we will certainly drop some more points which is sure because no team will go on a winning streak for the remaining matches. There will be another draw at a time, maybe a loss too. But how we bounce back from each set back is what matters. you changed it to being mediocre, that shows the type of mindset you have yourself. Whether you hate Arteta or not no concern me, but my problem with you is choosing who to blame and who to exonerate when the problem is clear. Shebi it is Arteta's fault that we only had 3 shots on target and lost possession while in dangerous situations?. We all can never have the same perspective but if you learn to understand statements without trying to paint a leg to a drawing of a snake, then we will be fine. Emotional ko, emotional ni. That's you still trying to find a way to win a fight when there's no fight at all. I can never be blamed for your inability to understand what i said.

So I shouldn't have called him out for resting his best legs so una go fy sleep well as Una saviour no dey erhhh as per "St. Arteta" wey im be.... Damaged control wouldnt help it at this stage, you clearly said I should get ready and make peace for more points going forward 🤣🤣🤣🤣...

You said I wanted to win an argument, it's clear from onset that your position is indefensible knowing he clearly sabotage the team yesterday with his not so well though-out Selection in a must win game all for a dead rubber... Stop shooting yourself in the foot


Such a defeatism mentality irked me....

germaphobe:
replace the "he" with "you" and replace the "they" with who said it bro. "They said they will lose more matches and that shows mediocre", arhh. Must you go down that road of twisting words to suit your narratives?. When your criticism goes from constructive criticism to destructive criticism, it is no more an argument bro, but a direct twist of narrative to gain attention and sympathy from follows. Don't be defensive you said, but in the actual truth, you are the one being defensive by creating notions in your head and trying to make it facts. That's all I am saying. Jisie ike.

Twisted words? When you clearly stated that I should get ready cos more points will be dropped going forward 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣...

You are taking heats Personally even when straight bullet isn't hitting you directly 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣... Like I said before Arteta has my full Ire

You won't survive brutal Reddit or Twitter being this Emotional 🤣🤣🤣🤣....

germaphobe:
bro, your problem is trying to sound right in order to win an argument. At this point, it doesn't even make sense to argue if all you want to do is twist words just to gain an audience and prove your opinion is right. Shalom.

Don't become defensive bro 🤣🤣🤣, it's Arteta that as my Ire...

He said "to gain an audience", With whom exactly? You 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....

daveP:
Those comfy with top spot think its secured. Until that May nothing is.

My own is where was that ruthlessness we used to tear Villa apart for that loss? Where did it go to?

The Ruthlessness? With decision making like today when the Manager is benching his best players underating the opponent and our brothers are up in arms justifying the Sabotaging 🤣🤣🤣...

Go dey find Ruthlessness around, GoodLuck finding it 🤣🤣🤣🤣....

daveP:
🚨Burnley have scored against Liverpool, yet Arsenal couldn’t manage even one goal against them.

🔸️Arteta often shows too much respect to big teams, and I hope it doesn’t cost us.

🔸️Look at the intensity with which Manchester United attacked City today — if it were Arteta, he would likely play it safe instead.
We need to stop over-respecting top teams and be more ruthless. That’s exactly why we have squad depth.

Copied



No more line breaking pass and we know the guy that has 8GA before Odegaard return was doing the breaking through.

Even if we must drop points, this SIWES like decision making that seems like Sabotaging shouldn't be the order of the day after 6 years of IT.... Not knowing scale of preferences or Priorities after 6 years is Gross Misconduct...

We should be able to move forward from Near-It tag....

daveP:
Last season draw soup ruined everything. 13 abi 14 draws. I still cringe when i see that.

Team get full squad, they leave gap. We get squad but we dey drop points. No mind them. Those are fans that are comfy with status quo. Champion mentality is alien to such level of rigidity or comfort.

They just said they will or want to drop more points going forward in order to shame Apari with trophyless again 🤣🤣🤣🤣..... God abeg

With this Mentality, it would be a Miracle / Luck to bring back the club golden days...

germaphobe:
abeg oo, I no wan know you oo. And please don't pat anything on any back, just support a team you are sure will win, that's all I suggested oo. Because this our Arsenal no fit play the remaining matches without dropping point, ah swear. So to avoid further shalaye and lamentations about that muumu, ediot, no knowledge coach and lack of tactics manager, u sure say u no go support city?.

Dropping points or losing is a thing in Sports but you know what isn't is Sabotaging your own Goals and Aspirations.... It's Clownish of him


Coping Mechanism for failure isn't my thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣....

germaphobe:
be ready to see Madueke play more matches and Martinelli too. If you no take am easy na u go get health issues ooo.
Arsenal

Health Issues for Arsenal? 🤣 🤣🤣🤣 Seeing Noni or Nelli play isn't the problem but stupidly playing them ahead of fit and better is Clownish and bottler stuff 🤣🤣🤣🤣....


Una Apari Lamentations is loading....

daveP:
That's my problem with that side. They forget how resilient our rivals are. How will you already know what your opponent is capable off(City, Liverpool) but what they see what you're capable of is slipping off and increasing the excuses? They don't have that mental situation where "once arsenal stay top at so so and so game week, they've won the league. It's for slipping and sliding. That's see finish!!

We should be grateful cos we are top now? We've dropped 4points cos the last 2 teams dont deserve a point whatsoever but here we are. Players overall might be getting comfy cos manager isn't showing signs of change in approach. It's evident. We need to do better. Arteta needs to do better. Goalless twice??

They say he overtake Liverpool 6 points lead, so we should him for that by praising him for throwing / Sabotaging away 9 points lead...

When we were dropping points last season, Liverpool kept on winning that at a time e reach 14 points gap between us... We should be happy or be contended it's 7 points instead of 11

Come on....

germaphobe:
Saka had niggle, if it isn't managed tight, you would be the first to cry wolf bro. The fact that he was chosen to finish the game and and start it is still about managing his minutes. If he starts on Tuesday I wouldn't be surprised, I will only be surprised if he finishes the match.
Ps: losing dat dead rubber game can put our top 4 finish in jeopardy. But what do i know.

Bro, if this is true then he shouldn't start on Tuesday, but we know its probably Arteta cover up story when his STRANGE decisions get questioned by press...

By Tuesday, we will all be in the knowing, All hands folded ....

germaphobe:
if you're so sure that we will lose the title in May, why not support man city till May?. It's simple bro, no more panics, heartbreak or plenty shaleye here. Just plainly enjoying your city vibes

You want me to pat mediocrity on the back for job well done? No, I don't do that....


Am a Fan not a Stan, notes the difference then you know me....

Leyqute:
This draw is on Arteta. Nahim throw this game.

Thank you, they will find another excuse for him come May...

I for don get peace of mind small now but 7 points wouldn't do it for me knowing his antecedents...

germaphobe:
there's nothing like opponent gaining any momentum bro. Momentum that couldn't produce any shot on target?, which momentum?. Arteta just said in his interview that Saka had a problem before the game so his minutes had to be controlled and managed. Second half when ur preferred players were brought in, forest created nearly zero direct goal threat while we had 7 shots and 5 were on target, so what are you saying about opponent momentum again?. Rice was visibly angry with the kind of performance his follow player put in, but some how you are here blaming the coach as if na coach tell the players to play with carefree spirit, not to track back, to loose balls in dangerous positions and to fire wide, or lose control unnecessarily. But what do I know, you have a coaching batch and knows better.

He said Saka had a problem ... Let see if he wouldn't start on Tuesday For that useless dead rubber match 🤣🤣🤣🤣...

Na here we go dey...

Leyqute:
Bros. Saka made a clear difference vs Madueke. He should have started that game. It was a rare opportunity to go 9 points clear and he fumbled it.

We go see Saka on Tuesday for that dead rubber match perhaps even playing the whole 90ish sef....

Can you Imagine...

BlueRayDick:
You need not wait till end of season na. Write petition for them to sack him so Ur preferred coach who would win 38 out of 38 can take his place. Abi is that too hard to do?

I will wait but we all know how it might likely end perhaps we blame Apari again or Una go find another excuse 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....

Me wey suppose dey assured with my back well rested sey 9 points don dey ground... Im stupidity no go gree man even Rest small

BlueRayDick:
You make things up in your head and run away with it.

I said Arteta was Arsenal's coach while we were trailing Loserpool earlier this season and somehow we are suddenly 6 points above our most serious rival for the title Arteta is still our coach.

I don't know the kind of enjoyment you seek from the team if you dislike the coach this much Sha.

And I said you can only praise him when he match up to that Liverpool standard not by overtaking them mid-season and bottled it eventually like he usually does...

Even with the best legs, we might still not win but put your strong hands forward and tell us you are not a 🤡.... He made a fool of himself today

....

germaphobe:
against Bournemouth, Martinelli wasn't so bad, and if i remember it was his rebound shot that fell to Gabriel to score(not sure though). So if the fresh legs won us the games in those two games, what happened today?, why couldn't the fresh legs fire up against a weak defence that have started since first half?. So because of two players that played 45 minutes that is the reason why we failed to win today?, is that what you are saying?.

Again I will repeat, bringing your best legs on after the he opponent has gained confidence is like doing deals with your weak hands put forward....Once you stupidly cedes advantage to your opponents, you may never regained it like the Japanese did in WW2...

those two 2 were equally wasteful on that day, it's only that we don't have set-pieces and Gabriel to bail us out today ..

Hoping Saka would come and change the game you willingly sabotage yourself is plain stupidity on his side, SAF wouldn't benched Rooney for Welbeck in this type of game because he's a serial winner and knows what it takes...
