Na my question be this oo.

I wonder how partey will be in shooting positions while Xhaka(his closest partner) never finds one. I wish partey will just at least take his shots on target!! At least...
based on positions this season, as in sweet sure banger positions to score in front of box 18, Partey suppose Dey same goals with ESR this season. Rosicky, Santi will bury them sweepingly. I also don’t doubt xhaka in positions like that. Unfortunate he doesn’t have such freedom.

Apart from ginger, we have no striker in Lacazette. An out of form Aubameyang was better. Arteta should consider Pepe, Martinelli or Nketiah.

Nketiah pressed very well and made good fast runs. Good game for him.

At the end, it was the mentality that won us the match. This new found agbero mentality will take us far.
You don start again with the bolded.

Anyways, I'm glad Nketiah played a nice game. The trio of Pepe Martinelli and Saka doubtful yet. Maybe until I see it happen effectively else I don't trust such combination for now.

And yes, I'm happy for the fighting spirit. The guys never gave up

I like the Agbero show. Saka level no reach though. We suppose spell watford. I foresee a final showdown based on goal difference. We need do so vs them. That 5-0 still sweet, but we hope they tear Watford apart.

Laca had his chances. But he’s very unlucky with it cos most are tight angles. Na cos we love Saka we no wan criticize am o, but we should. He had open chances and was slow on most of them. Two goals from tight spots. Bottom line is Laca is that kind of player that needs an Ozil. It’s cos he’s majorly unlucky in front of goal, many aren’t settled with him. He works he’s though.

What a time to be a gunner.
Two of our most useless players conducted a deliverance service.

Flesh and blood did not reveal this to you! Credit to them, they came through when we needed them most. We need all the points we can get from our games because that top 6 is very fluid and we need to stay within touching distance.

Lol, if only partey have shot accuracy like cazorla or Rosicky, na with Chelsea we for dey drag position with grin

But on a more serious note, I think partey creates his chances which xhaka doesn't

But what he said is true. An out of form Auba was still outscoring. It's a fact!

Lacazette no just be striker wey dey score; imagine he's never scored 15 EPL goals for the past 5 years he's spent at the Emirates even though he's played at least 30 EPL games in 4 of those 5 seasons.

If I hear say anybody give that guy fresh contract lasan sad

Xhaka is tied now. When last did he drift out of position to initiate attack since that last NLD we won? He needs freedom to be in positions to shoot. The bad luck is his recovery. Na red go end am grin grin

This is not true. Lacazette no just dey score ni.....

Do u know he also lost this chance below in the first leg against wolves? Is this one also a tight angle?

Omo, Partey na baller abeg! He's the engine room of that our midfield. Everything is perfect about partey except shot-taking.
Coyg!!
Baba, Partey na classy player, especially when he is healthy, I have been preaching this gospel for a while.

I just need to borrow am my shooting boots because e be like say na Timberland shoe him dey use shoot ball.

Hypothetically, we are 2points, 11goals away from Chelsea and 3rd position.

Watching Saka play I could see he really fatigued. It's like his body is experiencing burnout at such a young age. I just wish Arteta would rest him for a match or two but I know he won't be willing to take such risk.

I could see saka forcing himself to dribble players or make runs. This present saka can't last for 90mins and it's no coincidence, reason why he's been giving "below his standard" performances. I just wish he should take a rest and come back refreshed

I really liked how our players especially Xhaka hustled Jimenez when they were wasting time messing with the officials during the substitution. That Agbero mentality really helped psyche our players up and it paid off at the end of the day.

Imagine that coady was busy talking back at the ref, feeling dissatisfied with his de ions without getting cautioned.

this isn’t a tight angle truly. That’s why I added he’s been unlucky too. But if we want to Yab him for chances not buried, Saka Dey that table wellllaaaa this season. Love just cover am ni.

It was evident Saka is tired, u could see the fatigue showing in his decision making....,but u see Lacazette doing uncessary skills, trying to do useless one-two no-look pass when we are 1 goal down was just annoying.

If we had lost I would've blamed him and Arteta for not taking him off for pepe or any other available player upfront despite wasting our chances.

At the end I'm glad he was able to redeem himself and make we the fans happy

Boss, I disagree with the embolden..

Saka had a rough spell after the Euros and he was roundly criticized, albeit everyone understood the situation. Without any question, Saka has consistently produced for this team, this one no be case of love covering him.

I swear, make dem no give am any contract at all.. I could see the plethora of chances he missed today and the worst part is that he hardly takes he short on target. And even if he does, it's not deadly enough

Well said!! The chili don Dey weak o. He doesn’t need start vs Watford to me! But again, not other trophy campaigns this season, meaning enough rest and recovery time per week. Unless na special drills sha. But as I know, na Nelli Dey chop drills pass after White for Colney . Anyways, he’s burned out. Concerned

lol. I never expected another goal though. I think he’s also the last player to score dying minute goals at Emirates. We need prep for his departure in this aspect. If Osimhen is truly coming, e go sweet. But Isak and DCL....

I insist that we do overlook his lapses this season. Though he’s fatigued. But change the person to Pepe and twill be hot lashes at him. That’s my angle. The love he got post euros still working. Can’t wait for a fully fit Saka though.

I don't even know which striker want at the Emirates, maybe I will just have to trust Arteta and his scouting team. My own they should sha sign striker wey dey score as in goalscoring striker, no be striker wey Smith-Rowe go dey outscore from AM or LW position o cool

Exactly! He one of the players who's always on 90min. I just wish we can get the old saka back. Arteta seems not to notice as he's bent on running him to the ground which isn't good. Well I wouldn't blame Arteta much tho
