Jodera:
The best way for Lokonga to rediscover himself is by playing away from that DM position. Yesterday, even his progressive passes and movement was found wanting, something associated with lack of confidence and match rustiness.

I don't know if he might get the kind of Xhaka's redemption here cos of the amount/caliber of midfielders coming through but I'll be glad if he can pull it through like Xhaka, else I'll just wish him all the best away from here.

He better buckle up. Even that CM spot ain't sure. ESR and Xhaka are his current competitors. Then If Patino comes back next season, e don red for am. Sambi's problem is not confidence, it is his rigidity. Same problem as Pepe.

iamoyindamola:
That one sef with injuries

Na thigh injury this time around. I don tire for the guy. Make we groom Patino or even one of the academy boys and cash in on ESR.

mostob:
ESR is injured

again?

iamoyindamola:
Exactly look at the goal we conceded
One thing I know is that our documentary have opened our eyes to behind the camera
If you remember arteta assistant always call the players to private session where he will show them their lapses in previous games
I know they go dan tire for lonkonga case

Even when they did for tavarez that one no wan hear word

Gbam..you don talk am finish. Sambi no wan learn...same problem with Pepe.
Xhaka don improve, Martinelli and Saka are now better than before. These people no get two head. Instead of Sambi to work hard, he was whining about inadequate game time.
Just look at the way he went to the dressing room immediately without applauding the fan.

Izurejoice:
again?

Yea

I don't know why we are arguing over awilo when azeez showed glimpse of brilliance in his game

I don’t know why Arteta keep playing him in that DM position since that Man Utd first leg, they should be fast with the Caicedo deal cause Lokonga isnot the best alternative to Partey and Rasta man is injured..
He can get Xhaka kind of redemption if he’s sent on one or two loan spell to develop himself. I’ll be glad if he improves.
Have you been following Nuno Tavares in Marseille, that dude will be good as a winger cause he score goals in the team.

mostob:
I wouldn't blame Ode. For about a minute, Sambi didn't mark, didn't stay in position which means all the efforts of our forwards to win the ball back were futile. We're chasing the game and we needed to win the ball back ASAP.

I’m not blaming Ordegaard, I’m just saying as a Captain you should correct your team mates in the closet rather than openly especially for someone with zero confidence like Lokonga.. Ordegaard is a good Captain

iamoyindamola:
Person way dan born finish young

I’m speaking of his age and not his penile activity
Moreover, Is Foden still young or not considering that he has a child?

iamoyindamola:
That's what I am saying
Odegaard must have been correcting or encouraging him before now
It's not normal for human to react without prior reasons you sef think am
Like you said saliba and gabu committed errors which the fans and players backed them because it's not everytime
But as there ever been a match awilo look good, one of us said he's better in xhaka role he was played there and was also terrible
Nothing arteta haven't tried with him olule las las
Abegi the guy is not worth it

I don't blame Odegaard for reacting that way cos I feel it's out of emotions (I mean, Sambi just made our pressing game futile) . I just feel that what he did wasn't right by publicly berating him, just in case of next time.

But mehn, Lokonga Is 23yrs oo. Some of us still dey look am as small boy

Who even scout that guy for us say na potential DM sef. The guy even deceive Spy join

iamoyindamola:
But he's played xhaka position in Europa and we struggled

Just only 1 match na.
He excelled there in preseason but Elneny injury forced him not to build on that during the group stage

mostob:
Nice point. But you failed to add the fact that those players you used as examples have given us maximum performances in the past.
I stand by Ode abeg even though he shouted in frustration.
We dey try win ball back, you didn't mark...you didn't stay in position and you call yourself a midfielder. Nonsense.

Lol... I get you bro. Hopefully, we'll just buy another DM and save Lokonga all these bashings

I hate bashing a player most especially when he's not playing his primary or secondary position

I need to remind you guys we lost 3 straight matches in which awilo started last season and that caused us top4

Preseason way everyone no wan get injury
You sef they do like spy sometimes

Lol... I would be surprised if he makes it here sha. Maybe 2-3years ago, I would have believed in his redemption but not now.

Our team is fast outpacing his abilities unfortunately

I also hate bashing player. I was just so angry at him yesterday. You should have seen how i shouted at him to close down Ake just before that goal.

iamoyindamola:

Lol... He showed glimpses. Not as a starter but as a good squad player coming from bench. If he'd build on that, we'll surely have rested Xhaka ystdy but obviously Elneny injury didn't allow that.

Tell me one player that shone in this our preseason but we're presently bashing him. None!!

....Except Sambi who isn't playing his preseason position

Which is baffling because he has everything he needs to make it. Man is just so casual.

Our FA cup 4th round match against Oxford, na after we comot am we score sef.

Omo...don't even remind me

From the buildup go that goal (the shot that Turner saved). If you see the gaping hole he left for City to exploit In the midfield ehh. Exact same thing that happened against Man u

iamoyindamola:
Na only one Europa match he play

It's only one Europa match he played as an 8(Xhaka position)

The rest he played as a DM

So elneny is playing what if they play together
Or how many times have they played together

Omorr, we just need sign DM ooo.

Elneny was injured have you forgotten?

Lol... Na two different things na

Jodera:

Are you saying elneny played only one Europa match

Jodera:
Lol... Na two different things na

How
If you remember how we fell to 3 straight defeats last season you no go even break arteta head for even putting him on MD squad

iamoyindamola:

Nahhh... It wasn't even a Europa match sef.

It was our carabao cup match against Brighton. That was the only match this season Sambi played as an 8
