Obviously gabu benefitted from good midfield
The guy is a suspect with brainfart mustafi no do pass all these

His errors leading to goal is 2 already and season just start
Please don’t blame gabu for the first goal, he had to drop to midfield leaving his man while awilo lokonga is nowhere to be found..

I get one question to ask..

WHERE THE HELL WAS XHAKA TODAY?

Lokonga Gabu and Saliba dey chop blame...

The last time I checked, we played a 4-2-3-1!
You want xhaka at the back with awilo shocked
I can assure you their will be red and the red will go out of line before half time

Lokonga complicated things for himself when he tried to play like Partey.

Man was trying to get creative, holding on to the ball and attempting difficult passes after had strayed!

He just needed to keep it simple and do his job.

I wouldn’t call that too early since Mr Awilo is found wanting and you know how Bruno can be with the passes esp when he’s free...
for the first goal I’ll blame Mr Awilo head of Gabu.

Var didn't even look at that possible penalty on Nketiah by Maguire. I don't even understand

That goal cancellation was 50/50. Even though it was soft, I understand why it wasn't given since Odegaard didn't touch the ball at all.
Even though the goal cancellation was valid but Var inconsistencies is really killing this league and arsenal.

Ref was allowing incessant fouls on us without being brandishing yellow card for continuous fouling. Aside that he was really fair today

Person wey no dey positionally good defensively naim you say make him drop deep?


Moreover, I don't know why you think we shouldn't push forward. So we cannot aim for 3points again even when we're on the ascendency? Na Elneny and Partey injury I blame for this thing sha
You are making the same mistake Arteta made. At 1-1 we were far superior in possession, the sensible thing to do when PLAYING AWAY AGAINST MAN UNITED was to drop a bit deeper and maintain control in our half. This would have frustrated Man United players and they would just open nyash for Saka to locate Jesus, who would make a run and score. Such games are won with game management.

Yes we can blame Lokonga but his mistake can only be on Arteta who controls the mivemyand position of the players. He should have called him to order. Dude wanted to prove a point to Blueraydick. Lol grin

Lokonga was in no mans land high up in United's half. What the hell was he looking for that high?

The midfield was empty, it was inevitable because the distance Gabu needed to cover was too much considering Lokonga did not even try to stop Eriksen from making that pass to Bruno angry One of Gabu/ Saliba had to attempt to stop Bruno who had all the space.

I suspected this was what they wanted to do reason why I was really worried about Sambi. They'll be quick on counter which means Sambi will be targeted.

But Spy said no, na we go dey dominate ball, we no need Sambi to dey okay defensively. We don see am na grin
I know na their way
Sit back and loop ball
Coward tactics grin

If he had stayed his line Bruno will rather shoot at ramsdale

Perfectly and excellently put.

Boy wanted to impress those who said he was playing simple game. That's why I like Elneny, you you like cry from now till tomorrow he will only give you his simple pass me I pass you game.

Lokonga will have to learn a lot from this going forward. I hope the experience is worth it because if he repeats this again, na to abandone am.

Nothing Spectacular but was just trying combining with Martinelli upfront.

Since we were easily dominating, he pushed up more. I felt he should have helped defensively more but our domination was much and I share same belief with Arteta for wanting us to win

I love Arteta's post match comments about VAR. It is a shame it has been clearly inconsistent.

After Chelsea's horror show, the PGMOL have come out to acknowledge the referee made an error in canceling Westham's goal.

How Malacia finished the game without a yellow is beyond me despite his reckless tackles on Saka.

You want to play deep against people that's playing deep. How does that happen?

After the first goal, we weren't even rushing to even score 2nd goal sef but just dictating play until Lokonga got carried away leaving his position which they capitalised on.

This is how we're always playing, we're dominating, we're getting positions in good areas. We shouldn't try to score because we're away at old Trafford? Na wa ooo

You just like making unnecessary excuse for useless players . Arsenal was playing well at 1-1 and had the game in control till Lokonga foolishly gave the ball away and we were punished for that .

You heard the coach refer to it in his post match conference , yet na Arteta u wan blame for Lokonga’s foolishness. Anybody that watched the All or Nothing documentary will know there were times the coach told the team to play A and we see them playing B on the field . Several times we were here claiming Arteta tells them to sit back after a lead only for us to see in the documentary that he actually told them to attack which they didn’t.

If anything at all, one thing I’ve learnt from the documentary is that the coach takes the fall for some of the players’ rubbish most times and we will be here blaming him for everything

You don't get we were playing dangerously too high on the pitch
Our CBs were in man u yard, that's too much
Second and third goal were the same

Fair point but that was already late because Bruno had all the space. If that tackle was successful, that goal doesn't happen. If he stays on his feet Bruno still makes the pass.

Also, Zinny left goal scorer Anthony to cover for Gabu which was the right thing to do but Martinelli who should have helped out Zinny was strolling. angry

Once again what the hell did Xhaka do for us in this game? Lokonga wandered high, Xhaka was busy chasing McTom, leaving the middle empty.
