Na Italian club get that kine liver without fear for the repercussions that aren't even in the rule book. But it's true. This game was a premium robbery. I wasn't expecting a win, but what the hell did i just watch??


Funny enough, Nketiah was superb tonight. But i will not lie, Arsenal need Victor Osimhen. He is the only 9 that can reduce the uselessness of Saka and Nelli on the pitch right now. All the two need to do, instead of that rubbish backwards pass, is to just find space to cross for him. Besides, his pace alone and shot power and accuracy and aerial ability.....

This is not the EPL.

if I hear saka in your mouth again, I will haunt you in your dreams. Leave the young man alone. Because you brought rice you think you can land Osimen

I dey here dey swallow the big L. VAR go touch everybody. Today na our own so make we just manage am like that.

Premier league officials sha

They will package apology tomorrow
No wonder their officials are not in FIFA tournaments

No wonder their officials are not in FIFA tournaments

When I saw the ball was out I already said this won’t be counted ,but Omo dem shock me

They will package apology as you said and las las officials will be demoted to the championship for some time to continue their rubbish

mvem:
it wasn't out abeg

Use top view not side view

Dey Play. Bring the top view na.

A whole VAR didn't show us clearly to check if the ball is out of play or not. Their top view have spoilt abi? They even cut that part out of screen!

Look at the audacity, how they intentionally cut out from the screen that part when the ball went out of play.

Like wtf!!!

Ball out of play, and you didn't replay, and replay, and replay it from all angles like VAR use to do?

Even if they want to use time wastage as an excuse, won't the time be added at the end of 90 minutes?



The argument is settled, there's match fixing in england!!! There is massive corruption in england football!


This is pure robbery, leave banter aside!!!

If to say na ESR dey get all these chances wey Havertz and Viera dey see, Arsenal as a club for don dey far better than were we deh now.
It's just so unfortunate.

Also, I dunno the reason why Odegaard is absent but I just hope it's nothing serious.

I hate to see Zinny on the bench when fit Tbh.
If Arteta sees he's a liability defensively, why not just convert him to Midfield (where Xhaka plays) and just make Tomi/Timber our undisputed Lb.
It's sad to see his drive and creativity seated on the bench.

I’ve been saying this too, he can also play in the CM role where his line breaking passes can be fully utilized. Teams have figured us out on the Zinny invert experiment

This is not the EPL.

Saks and Nelli were not useless. The tactics was useless and Arteta had to have changed it seeing that both wingers were tied down.

Zinny can even play AM, we created a lot when he shadow Odegaard position during the latter stages of Shieldfield match ( look at the pass he gave to Kai even when surrounded by 4 opposition players), Villa away and vs Everton last season at Emirate etc.... Am sure he will do more than languid Kai.

Alexis Sanchez!!!


How I wish we can get a prototype of this player. The wingers wey we pack for squad no Sabi dribble again. Come to think of it, was Sanchez a great dribbler? Man was just so ruthless and direct. I don't think he was ever caged.

The past few matches haven’t been impressive

That’s all I have to say sha

So this assholes are more interested in arsenal having just one shot on target than the actual incident

https://twitter.com/MT_Analysis/status/1721517311897510189?t=vIo26D_OjyS9fUYgny8jaw&s=19


So na stubbornness to utilize between the lines cause stunt mode?

Pgmol no wan reply since they no know wetin to say
So we lose for nothing
It will never be well with these people

Former ref say the push on gabu was enough and also the third which was offside
The first call wasn't conclusive

Nobody should expect any apology from PGMOL. Useless Pundits like Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher said the Foul was 50:50. Both sky sports pundits are playing to the script written by the FA so as not to discredit the PGMOL. Instead, I expect Arteta to be banned for a few games.

BlueRayDick:


I just tire honestly . Na to just hope say dem no go bully Jorginho for middle as usual .

Unfortunately, everything went as you never wished for

I'm not even concerned about the dubious goal awarded to Newcastle. My issue is WTF were we doing for the remaining minutes that we couldn't score?



Liverpool got a player controversially sent off on the same ground but still came back from a goal down to win the match.



We have bigger issue to worry about. Make Arteta shut up and find solution to our recent abysmal performances.

Not a foul bro I am just massaging his head

I know we were cheated. But please, since Raya began, he's been in 9 situations and 3 led to goals that were annoying like the Newcastle & Chelsea own. This is about his positioning. The ball always pass overhead and that creates a very bad situation for any defender at that side. Especially as Raya is poor at the recovery. I've seen some Arsenal fans also complain about that aspect as well.


That Chelsea goal was super annoying and cheap.

Bros it’s possible we might score if the goal was disallowed
Awarding a dubious goal can drain players emotionally and psychologically
Cut them some slack they tried their best imo even though it wasn’t enough
First half Newcastle have zero shot nothing at all
In total only 3 shots on target was shared between the 2 teams

Btw vvd was rightly sent off not controversial

Check up that tweet i dropped up there and scroll down to something key that we refused to take advantage of all cos Arteta instructed against it. That is madness. Super madness. I think that's the main reason players like ESR are not given enough minutes. Cos that is their style in the centre of the pitch.


I don't want us to reach Boxing Day matches before be realize that Saka is now minus 1 currently. I'm his biggest fan but I'll say it as it is. He is super okay defensively but offers nothing upfront against.
Take for example that key pass from Nelli or was it Rice, guy was supposed to use his right foot to fire a shot. Rather he was switching to left asif it was only 3 Newcastle players that were playing that night.

Gary Neville also made an observation. He may be dragged cos he says stupid things alot. But he is right about the Jover/Trossard Corner kicks situations. These guys should be allowed to play tjis game without bothering all 90mins about "How to do it" from the bench. This is not robotics now. It's worrisome.


As for the map below, this is the 1st time that Kai has more ball progression than Saka when both were on pitch together. That is also worrisome.

Raya has not been impressive to Me cause his positioning and his short passes are not not as accurate as Rams, aside his long passes, Raya isn’t better than Rams.

When we were linked to this dude, was expecting someone who is better than Rams and will make him fight for his position but since his arrival, the only reason he’s starting matches ahead of Rams is Favouritism.

Saka hasn’t being impressive and he’s not offering much upfront these past matches cause I’m not gonna lie, his game is not up to the Saka standard we all know, I’m expecting him to turnup toward mid season and to the end of the season sha.

Apart from City winning, results from other contenders makes our loss sort of bearable.

Spuds and Liverpool drew their games, which leaves us 3 points away from the summit.

Spurs lost.

That spuds coach is another dull dude I don't know if it's lack of plan b or just arrogance
How can you be down with 9 men and still be playing high line in defence
What happened to park the damn bus, I am happy they lost heavily sha

Lush100:


Spurs lost.

Even better, thanks for the correction.

Fact is ESR wouldn't have done anything to change the game. I expected Arteta to be flexible with his tactic now. Saka, Martinez and others are off form because they're too restrained by the tactic which has made them to be found out.


Arteta needs to add more unpredictability to our tactic. Ode should move to the other wing...let the FBs hold the width...the wingers should come in....fluid front three.



All those inverted nonsense is restricting the team.
