Lol, dem say na Mustafi.

Maguire forerunner. The person who foretold the coming of Maguire with his play naim we wan use compare with Gabriel?

This one off me sha

If Agenda no Agend wetin we gain? Kokane has been on Gabu since the day he was signed. There is absolutely nothing new to what Kokane is spilling about Gabu! You can go back 4-5 years and see my debate against him on this Gabu matter.

Mustafi with Arsenal was earning 90K/ wk and dishing us pain.. guess how much Gabu has been earning since he joined Arsenal? 50K..

Jodera:
Take away Saka goal, you mean Martinelli was better than him ystdy?

Yes na why do you think one of us was saying he's interested in his contract update

Well, to me Saka and Martinelli was better First Half with Martinelli the better of the two.
2nd half Saka was clearly better. Martinelli decision making was just wrong most times in that 2nd half

This game better tweak the way Arteta plays against the top 6. Absolutely. We can't be moving left right right left in front of their box. Any of the 5 managers will set up structure cos they know it's space we need. We better start aiming for result than flair vs them. Especially when we don't have all the legs to execute.


The decision making was too poor. Shot dem no fire. Very annoying sincerely. We didn't even think of firing so we can get rebounds. Arghh.

Odegaard
Nelli
Jesus
Saka

All had chances to sting the palms of De gea but indecisive. These are the chances that separate boys from men, regardless of who is better, or who passes better or who carry possession. The onus lies on Arteta sha. I'm glad someone finally talked about those disaster subs. The players may be good but if it further exposed us to ridicule and conceding goals...taaaah

Lol, I don even forget tottenham sef. Kane go us us do shege if Lokonga play that DM role. Ordinarily, na wetin him dey do sef

As for that 1st goal, I was surprised. I mean, Antony have already adjusted his body that he wanted to place it at the far corner yet Ramsdale still dive the other way. Maybe it's just a normal reflex a GK always undergo, who knows(easier said than done right)? But then, I won't blame him for any of the goals. It's easier for the players to score that than for Ramsdale to save those ball

Ramsdale wasn't shaky sha, aside from that error, he was good.

I think the defence was all over the place ystdy especially as we paraded a weak DM against a good runners and passers of the ball. The defence was really exposed ystdy Tbh.

Lastly, Our best bet is Tomiyasu. What we were missing ystdy in attack showed as White no be am. He'll give us that stretch we need and he has that understanding with Saka.
And yes, Zinchenko was partly exposed, the defensive securities of Tierney wouldn't have made that happen.

Distribution was perfect
But goalkeeping mistake was not something Emi Martinez would do. Tbh. They will score Martinez but that Antony goal would not have happened. I think all shots on goal went in, save three.


AON shows Arteta loves White. I think it's becoming detrimental, sincerely. Saliba won't be here if Recruitment team didn't do their part. Guy doesn't show he wanted him atall. But we meuve.


Bottomline

Rams may need to stop engaging the fans as much he currently does. I think it riles him up to a standard that doesn't help his confidence. Just saying.

For the 1st goal, Antony's body shape showed him where the ball was going, I was shocked he quickly dived to his near post.

Anyone remember when Gabu was benched in place of P. Mari…..Well, we know how that ended after watching Mari. One now plays for Monza and the other is being courted by Juventus and PSG.

Is Gabu the 2nd coming F. Baresi? No.. absolutely not…does he make mistakes? Yes, without a doubt but to justify your position because of your Mustafi agenda and then compare? Oh come one now!

Gabu is 100 times better than Mustafi whether him play behind Lobi Stars midfielders or City midfielders..

Don’t get it twisted, all of these agenda stemmed from DWYL…..nothing more..

Agenda must Agend!!!

We meuve..

You guys shouldn't have let Pepe go.

That guy had loads of potential











To play nonsense

Peperempe wen fall my hand like werey! That one na just warm body..

dis una yeye win just dey sweet your belle anyhow..

It is completely wrong to blame your keeper for that Antony's goal. On a very good day he went in the right direction.
Antony's body posture could be called a bluff, it was a split-second decision. Assuming he trapped the ball or tried to push it forward or a straight shot or even placed it on the right side, the Goal keeper had a better chance of saving it. So the goal keeper already had about 8/10 probability of catching the ball.
It was just a well placed ball which will be difficult for any keeper to catch.
In Hindsight; everybody knows the perfect thing to do after an event has occurred.

Shegzdave:
He tried to impress and they suppressed him in his position moreover, who send am message to impress? He should play his fuck1ng position as a DM...Stop giving excuses for him jawee..
Concerning that DM role, I won’t say anything Since you’re a Arteta assistant

Was he the only one that left his position? Where was Xhaka? Was he the only one that gave a wrong pass? Where were his teammates that should cover him?

Good thing was that he was not there when they scored the third goal if not na to still blame am.

As agenda must agend no matter what.

He will play the next game, so get ready to jam wall.

Jodera:
Putting any sort of blame on Zinchenko is even funny

Anyways, like I said, I just hope Lampard doesn't capitalise and target that zone cos if it happens, we'll stlll keep on blaming Arteta for playing highline instead of falling deeper forgetting that it was such tactics that made us win 5 straight and have correct performances all these while

As funny and as biase you can get you still blamed him for the third goal even when he has been subbed.

Agenda is matters arising.

Jodera:
Lol... Gabriel is better and more comfortable than Mustafi. Like I said, Mustafi gives palpitations, Gabriel doesn't so it'll be very very unjust for me to use same stick I use for Mustafi to flog Gabriel. It doesn't work that way.

If you say we need better person than Gabriel, maybe you'll have a point but not placing Mustafi and Gabriel in the same bracket like say dem be mate

Comparing Mustafi and Gabriel is a sin Mustafi of all people?? Haba...

eph12:
This is more of an Arteta problem. Just a simple instruction from him will make Lokonga stay back. Maybe he was encouraged to add bodies to the attack. On another day, it may have worked.

At least someone with an open mind.

But Jodera will say I have sentiments

iamoyindamola:
That's how we are all defending saka instead of benching him...

And be Replaced by Maquainhos?
You go sabi take unnecessary risks ooo

Let me explain to you why White is preferred.

In the tactics, the fullbacks become inverted during attacking phase. This allows one of the CMs (Xhaka) to push forward into the no 8position on the opposite flank to add more bodies, create an overload and also add to the press when the ball is lost. Zinchenko does this also on the other side. White is better at this than Tomiyasu.

That Tomi benching for White is now some how. Sometimes White will play fine game, sometimes he'll just become passive but each time Tomi is introduced you'll see the a vast difference. Worst part is that it's not as if Tomi is bad defensively. And sometimes we wonder why Saka haven't reach the great height of last season.

That goal, I won't blame Rams sha. It was reflex and split second decision. All these things is easier said than done looking at it "after" it have happened.

Point me where I accused Sambi for the 3rd goal. I specifically talked about the first and second goal mostly while I solely blamed Arteta for his stupidity of his Panick sub for the 3rd goal cos it disrupted the structure and it was as if there was no plan.

Where you see me blame Sambi for the 3rd goal, bring am make I see

Of course he’ll play cause there’s no alternative... You think if Arsenal has gotten Douglaz Luiz, Lokonga will start our matches?
That’s to show you Arteta had no choice than to use him..

they only become inverted if the other fullback attacks. Meaning if Zinchenko attacks, White will become inverted and otherwise. Both don't become inverted at the same time.

Aside that, there's an understanding between Zinchenko, Xhaka and Martinelli but it's lacking with Odegaard, Saka and White. In fact, there's less exchanges between White and Saka. I know how many exchanges Tomi made when he came on for White against Aston Villa.

I would never believe White plays that role more than Tomi until I sees it. Everyone knows Arteta loves White and na one of the few reasons he's benching Tomi.

Jodera:
This is not about staying back just for the sake of it. It's about becoming positionally aware defensively in that back he stays. Someone who is meant to screen the backline should be ready to track any runners, read danger before it happens and snuff out attack before it becomes dangerous mostly by positioning and that's what he lacks. The first goal conceded, he didn't even attack yet Bruno pounced on his Defensive frailties to get in behind him into a dangerous zone. Person like Elneny or Partey would never let that happen.

I think Arteta and the team underrated Manchester United. Normally you should put players on two main people, Eriksen and Bruno. That wasn't done. Just make sure you have your eyes on where they are at all times. That wasn't done

Jodera:

2nd half Saka was clearly better. Martinelli decision making was just wrong most times in that 2nd half

Surprisingly, Dalot was able to handle Martinelli better after the break. But Malacia couldn't and that wasn't utilized at all

U never see anything. Just wait till Arsenal do mistake jam Marseille and Guendouzi shine small, u will see another round of Agenda agending

Mustafi wey commot arsenal go relegate Schakle 04, na him be the Mustafi dem wan dey force down our throat. We will resist every attempt to paint Mustafi as the second coming of Vidic

This is another angle and I really agree with you on this 100%.

They were left to free and they were the most dangerous

eph12:

I tell you. Dalot handled Martinelli well in the 2nd half and I was thinking it'll be the other way round as I imagined Malacia been a better defender than him. But the way Saka was just passing him and creating chaos, na just the help of Martinez reduce the damage

Please, Arteta should work on these guys shooting skills, if na to try employ Henry as striker's coach they should biko. All these chances we're missing by our attackers no gel. This is reminiscent of Wenger days were we'll play and play and probably want to pass ball into the net. Beautiful play and lose. I don't want to relieve that nonsense again please. EPL is getting tougher.

Shegzdave:

If he injure who go play

Pls let's leave mustafi

Gabu usually scores goals for us from set pieces.
Gabu scored 3 goals last season (highest goal scorer by a CB).
It was the change in tactics that lead to our loss.
Odegard and Co should learn to shoot more.
We lost but one thing.

Both central referee and VAR that officiated the game are from greater Manchester so there is definitely bias toward their team.
The first goal scored by Martinelli that was cancelled should have stood.

On to the next
