Pep did dsame thing ole did against Sheffield, sub out a striker for a defender, and they still conceded

For a team not used to being on the back foot, that move is always a dumb move.

digz:
Cvntois is still a useless keeper! He was useless yesterday, useless today and will be useless tomorrow....no be bashing na overhyped obibasket be cvntois!

Lol he has been in form over the past 2 months.

ChristoBam:
If we fail to beat Aston Villa, we're done for. Cuz we have Spurs and City next, both in the space of one week.

The thing is I am not even sure that we'll win...You wonder if Villa puts up the performance they put up against Pool, do we have enough to down them?

Its been a while I haven't seen any Madrid or Chelsea fan bashing Courtios? When things were tough, we constantly had updates of his flaws but now he has stepped up probably due to the fact that he is now settled, the trolls are silent, they won't praise him. Same thing happened when Modric joined same thing is happening to Hazard now. Once the quality is there, it's only a matter of time...

If we fail to take 3 pts tomorrow, then Ole should go, we have to start on the front foot and bury chances as they come if not it will be tough because if Aston Villa grow into the game, they can be very difficult. Their midfield is also very good.

Is McTominay available? If not, it should be Fred and Garner in midfield with Lingard at the top of the triangle.

Nani was not frustrating. At one time he was at CR7 level. That should be when Antonio Valencia broke his leg and Nani was the one giving assits and creating space for the team. He was only frustrating to those who expected him to have the consistency and productivity of CR7. As for me, I just needed him to be the space creator when matches became hard. Today we need another person like that.

Rashford and Martial are not in same level with Nani in terms of opening space with dribbling. They arw far below. But it terms of goal scoring, they are better than Nani.

Overall, we dont have the right mic of forward players we should have. Dribblers, scorers, intellihent passers, strong in the air.

The problem with your argument is that you're looking at Nani as an individual without taking into context the quality of players he played with. In that clip you shared, I could see Evra, Anderson, Park, Rooney who are all better than what we currently parade...

I'm sure if you look at the starting line up of that team, even De Gea will struggle to displace Van Der Sar. Now imagine a Martial or Rashford in that team surrounded with top players and a world class coach in Fergie, won't they look better? At least I'm certain Martial is a very good dribbler.

elampiro:
Our full.backs, Young, Luke, etc also keep bombing forward. Don't make it look like out full backs dont cross the half line.

Nani's beaking that defnder opened that space. Without that skill, all the effort will amount to nothing. This is the probem today, our forwards lack the dribbling skillls to indibudially open huge space.

Some weeks back, I think it was Nani's birthday, clips of his goals and skills flooded Twitter and he was getting all the praise whilst most folks spent time demeaning our current crop but I like a few others knew too well it was the same Nani much like Rashford and Martial that frustrated fans when he was here maybe he was a bit better but then, he played with much better players and he was more experienced. I have seen Rashford chop defenders with that move, Martial too has his fair share of great moments but you can't compare how easier it was to play alongside the crop of players we had then and now.

Rare gif showing Kokaneprodigy chasing Emery upon his arrival at the Arsenal training ground this morning...

BikeMan:
He's just interim

Na so Ole come as interim come deceive us.

Unai Emery had lost the dressing room. Wise decision from the Arsenal board but I'd have opted for Arteta rather than Ljunberg if I was in a position to make sure move...

Kai!!! Football made easy. Nani and Berbatov.

The Nani's break created the chance. Our forward players would have cross the ball into traffic. And we will begin to say how many chances did the forward players get to score?

See Berbatov pass.

Lol you talk as if it was just Nani and Berbatov just so you can have a go at the ones you despair. In that move, Evra was pivotal. Notice when he reverse the pass to Berbatov he kept bombing forward and in the edge of the box you had Anderson with Rooney and Park dragging defenders all over the place. In one attack, we have 5 players in or around the box. On Sunday it wasn't the case until we were 2 goals down.

winterfell007:
Nice illustration. I see your point completely. You are absolutely correct. Lagos has no basis to fund her past governors. It's unsustainable

His analysis is faulty. Those figures are not correct.

Good move but knowing politicians and how greedy they can be, watch how this same HOA will enact same inn 8 years time to favor the outgoing governor.

airmark:
Even those that won the world cup, they asked of their UCL trophies. Those with UCL, they asked of their world cup. Why shouldn't we ask for local Lewandowski's world cup and Ucl?

Firminho, Origi,Morata, Benzema >>>> Lewandowski

codedguy1:
So why is the coach playing them out of their preferred positions?

It isn't fair that a player is naturally good in a position but is played out of that position and we say he has not taken his chance.

Sad!

Very sad! Ole should play them where they're best suited.

afrodoc2:
Gomes and Chong have signed out. They are leaving this summer.

Gomes’s lack of size is an issue but they also keep playing him on the wing when he is at his best as a CAM.
All his minutes this season have been wasted in my opinion.

Fact...Gomes is a CAM And I think Chong will do better on the left.

Lol e get who una no dey drag? See me see Lewy for floor.

This Lukaku debate will go on as long as Martial and Rashford don't step up. It's what it is.

Leyqute:
Gomes has been useless in this match. He should be the one going off. Don't think he'll offer anything anywhere he plays.

My suggestion has nothing to do with the performance of Lingard, I just want the youngsters to enjoy themselves.

GloryIsaac:
Lmao... Goodbye Chong.

Chong is better on the left wing...

What a miss.

Football always punishes you for such miss.

Chong has finished me...

Martial, Rashford and James will be watching the match and thinking why they do not get to play with these boys rather than the bums in the first team...

Leyqute:
Levitt-Garner partnership is good to watch.

Angel Gomes is trying to force things. He's been disappointing. He's now paired with Shaw again on that wing.

Ole should remove Lingard and move Gomes to the attacking midfield position with Ramazani taking over the LWF

Oasis007:
Make we release them then!

Jones will start playing like prime Vidic is he hears any release rumors...

Oasis007:


We can dash them Clubs like Astana nah!

It's the wages that's the problem...

Oasis007:
The Boys are playing well. Perreira ought to learn from Levitt and Garner. Make January comes quickly so that he, Rojo and Jones can be sold.

Is it not sellable products you take to the market abi you want us to force clubs to sign them with their criminal wages?

We're playing well thus far...Levitt, Garner, Laird and Chong have been very impressive.

larride:
Just survived a robbery incident.

Thank God you're safe...We just have to be very careful because the poverty in the land will force so many lazy guys to take to evil.

Leyqute:
Lol
That wasn’t who I had in mind. I think he was a defender or so.

Okay, no idea.

Leyqute:
Grant came to help with training.

There was this Chelsea guy that spent a decade or so in London and played like twice.

Hilario?

Airmark is a professional trouble maker...Hahaha
