Nice analysis oga blueray.
On Tierney and Zinky winky....
I'm just glad we have two exceptional LBs. To me, Tierney seems faster and better defensively but lacking in the technical aspect.

On the Saliba own goal...
Boris Johnson is mostly at fault. His rush of adrenaline might be his downfall this season. There was no reason for him to rush out the way he did. Saliba was in charge of the situation and it was either a clearance or a back pass which Boris Johnson was not ready for. E pain me sha.

BlueRayDick:
Yeah, that own goal na commu I cation gap cause am. Boris Johnson body too dey hot true true. And na him dey complain In one of the episodes of All Or Nothing say dem make am lose clean sheet. I just hope they communicate more with each other to avoid such costly mistakes in the future especially against teams like City and Loserpool

daveP:
Nketiah will have a long hurdle seeing minutes o. Well Europa is there for rotation.


White can't play Yasu RB atall. Cedric even plays it better. A 3 man defence will come to use one day this season. That Martinelli goal. He hustled the ball and passed then strolled in to go score. Those kind of goals were plenty under Wenger. E dey sweet belle. Esp when its Alexis/Santi/Ramsey doing it.

My Take on Today's match and the team generally.

1. I would say we really got a good bargain signing Jesus and Zinchenko from city. While Jesus has shown to be a very good upgrade to Lacazette and Auba individually, his ability to press and force error from defenders is definitely superior to what both of them offered us in the recent past. Jesus' technical ability on the ball and hold-up play makes him a serious threat to any defence. The moment he turned Johnny Evans from his back at goal to facing the keeper had me leap for joy. I hope he doesn't suffer injury from any stupiddd defender going forward o.

Zinchenko on the other hand just showed how one-dimensional Tierney had been for us. Tierney normally when he has the ball by the sideline just wants to whip a cross into the box and leave the players in the box to hustle for nodding or tap-in, Zinchenko offers much more than that as we've seen in these two games thus far. He can dribble, can retain possession and even wriggle his way out of tight positions. The guy is just a No.10 playing from leftback position. I know we bought him for flexibility ; to be used in midfield when the need arises but as it stands I don't think I want him playing in midfield for now. His Combo with Martinelli is something I'm not willing to sacrifice for now.

2. We found a fortress in Saliba. For his sake I hope we win something in the nearest possible future, if not big clubs will start to finger his brain with big money offers within a year or two cos the boy is definitely going to do great things if injuries does not disrupt his development. The way he times his tackles is a joy to behold; he can do jam-body when the need arises, he slides without commiting fouls and breaks attacks without breaking a sweat. It's no surprise the fans got behind him immediately after the own goal incident. I just hope he communicates more with other members of the defence.... Maybe if there was more communication he could've alerted white of his wrong positioning before the own goal incident and then maybe if there was enough communication between him and Ramsdale he could've allowed the ball go to Ramsdale instead of nodding it, but then again there was Vardy charging down and everyone knows how Vardy is deadly in such situations. All in all, I think he's definitely going to have a good time doing what he knows how to do best. Kudos to the club management for allowing him to go on loan at a club where he enjoyed enough playing time to develop his potentials.

3. Partey na senior man! No long talk, Make god of soccer pity us this year and allow our Charlie no get injury this year ó. He's obviously going to be vital to our success this season.

4. The fluidity of our attack from midfield to the opponent's box is just wow! Kudos to the coaching staff, they've put in serious work in that regard and it's showing. We've moved from the team most people know that is firstly defensive minded before anything to a team that just glides past opponents midfield and lay siege on their 18 yard box. Martinelli is ready to take anybody on and create opening for others, Saka is either exchanging passes with Odegaard and making a run for return pass in the box, while Jesus can come as far as midfield to get the ball and still be in a position to score by the time the ball gets go the opponent's box. Odegaard is always ready to stretch the ball from one side of the field to the other. Those boys want baba Xhaka to run and get the ball , but man's don't run ...... I'm impressed sha that Xhaka has improved his game going forward tho if he had more speed it would make us even better, but as it seems we are stuck with him I don't have anything against him for now.

5. Arteta thus far is showing that with the necessary ingredients he can cook better for us, make he just dey cook dey go.....and make he no cook Ogbono/Draw soup yet sha
