Roland17:


That player will not smell the pitch then because Arteta likes his players playing to his instructions and that is why you see him on the touch line for 90 minutes dishing out instructions.

See, lets be realistic, Pep has 4 players like that in his team that know how to do what I'm suggesting. Arteta na Apprentice. When Oga's formula no dey work anything and time is running out and you're a vision and movement expert, nobody needs to tell you what else to do at such crucial game. Especially when you're a team that recovers possession so fast.


What we needed yesternight was that sorta player. Between 72 and 90min, we had over 31 useless Left to Right passes that wasn't doing nothing to break down or breakthrough. Very useless movements!!! And this is just Lens!!! Lens?!!!!

This is where Managers like Mou are appreciated. Players that can think by themselves and push thru.


Na UCL we dey o!! Lol. With all his instructions, 31 useless back and forth yielded nothing despite having 2 CFs on the pitch.

Thank God Laca and Auba were not the 2 CF. We for don dey hear thousands of insults from fans.

Oga Dave, the match pain you gan ni, I dey see as you dey shalaye upanda since yesterday

I know how it feels but Arsenal would get out of this group, though the Seville both games would determine if 1st or 2nd.

I must say you've raised valid points and I agree with them..my number1 issue with Arterta is he doesn't seem to have planB, he has a very brilliant planA, but poor at planB.

The Transfer window should have been used to source of Saka's deputy who can as well play AM. Every other positions are quited sorted except the RW deputy ...also he doesn't rate his bench players that much ...it is a matter of time the likes of ESR,Nelson, Ramsdele, Trossard would wants out.

See me they laugh for here
Why is ESR chopping bench
Like i said earlier, immediately the guy entered he started shooting the keeper while others were passing and jogging around

Why it pains me is cos i just want him to prove my opinions/analysis wrong. Let him just prove me wrong. I wan to swallow my opinion. But, No!!! He hasn't.


Another painful angle is other players are watching. I don't pray for bad days, but if they come and these guys want out, people will use it to be the major part of his legacy. He better wake up.

He played Nelli when Trossard was fit. That's Deputy o. Less, Saka wey no get deputy, there's therefore no guarantee that if deputy dey, he go allow Saka rest.

I hate to tilt to mischievous thoughts, but I'm beginning to tilt to the section of the fanbase that wan Kai injure so this man can wake up and do the right thing and stop experimenting. Kai is not going to do anything exceptional singlehandedly. Xhaka did, despite playing much way back in the left zone. E pain me cause of the quality of the opponent sha.


Sevilla are going to be tough. Verryyy tough! If we don't solve our creativity issues, hmmmmmm.

Can we crack down a stubborn team that already knows our pattern of play? Abi we dey go up and down dey reason say dem no dey study us ni?


Welll..... we move. Now two wingers are absent vs City. He better wake up in January.



Personal opinion: We need a player like Eberechi Eze.

In fact, I expect Nelson and Smith Rowe to push for transfer this coming season if they are really serious about playing football because I don’t know what else they have to do to convince Arteta.

It is certain that Arteta will spend another money to get backup players for the same positions these guys were meant to be backup players. The problem is he might end up going the Havertz route if does.

They can go for all I care. Infact, they should table the transfer request in January.

Saka called up for England. White on sabbatical

So instead of sacking the idiot way they coach our female
Them extend him contract
Miracle no they tire Jesus
It's like the scummies should extend 10hang contract at this period of time

He is a very useless coach, he lost the League two season ago by tweaking his team against lowly West Ham and they never recovered... he is tweaking the style of play again by using long hopeful ball and starting Russo upfront whose hold-up play is very poor instead of Blackstenius.... Blacky would have been perfect for that style of play


Again Pelova was a revelation during the second half of last season after Mead ACL, baba started debutant Lacasse instead which affected the team rhythm last week..


I would be shocked if they get anything positive tonight against United...

You are on point in all your analysis that is why i am surprised they extended the fraud contract instead of sacking him
His sub made us lose the semi final champions league to wolfsburg
On paper he have the best squad because he now have mead, mediema, russo and blackstenuis in attack only for him to miss out on ucl and still lost to liverpool on opening day

Yes, I would agree we have the best forward line on paper buh I won't say best squad cos the midfield is very thin, we missed Little composure against Wolfsburg and maybe Miedema can play Frida role as 10... Kathrine Kuhl has been disappointing so far...


You need to watch the Paris and Liverpool game....it was obvious Russo was struggling with long ball being hauled at her and almost everyone knows Frida plays better with Pelova ( they have these telepathic synergies)...


Asking Walti ( who plays like Jorginho, El neny or Denilson i.e. a Controller aka keep it simple players, Sideway passers)to be hauling long ball is foolish to me thereby wasting Little's creativity and ball carrying ability of Frida...


We lose again tonight and we should called WSL title triumph a day.... Man City now have Jill Roord, Hemps, fowler coupled with an healthy squad..


Am keeping my jittering fingers crossed.

I still don't understand the rush of blood giving him an extension at this period of time
What if he can't turn the season around? We will end up paying him more

You know Arteta got his own extension when the heat of finishing 8, 5 and missing out of Europe ( the one that actually matter, the UCL) was red-hot....


Shaking my Big Head....!
