Now that Odegard is absent for midfield, na we don they talk say our midfield no go fit ball again so we are over reliant on Odegard whereas I belive a midfield of Nwaneri Partey and Rice ( if card is jokingly overturned-i know a yellow card cannot be overturned) can do the job or Partey timber and Zinny but if we talk say make we no dey over reliant on one player we talk saw e no mean.

Me i want striker that has a different skill set especially shot power but over reliance I no want..

I just dey cap oh.....nothing bad if we can buy Haaland from Mancity sef or Palmer from Blue pram club

I am yet to see where Rice kick ball oh.....I played the video 3 times yesterday....I saw a balled kicked to him while he walked away close to it

You have been watching the wrong video, Rice did kick the ball; and that was why Veltman's kick hit him hard.

Rice messed up, I believe his adrenaline got the best of him because I can't really see to understand what point he was trying to make preventing Brighton from restarting play that high up the field . It's not like Veltman will kick the ball into our goal post from that spot without our defenders doing anything.

Ideally Rice should be apologizing to his fellow players and teammates for that nonsense he did; If that was Xhaka in his dark days we will be calling for his head.

I know. None of Partey and Jorginho can play 8, and defensively, midfield will be too porous.
Zinchenko is another option but then he to, is weak defensively and lack physicality.
No Havertz in midfield abeg.
Have you stopped looking at Arsenal through Arteta lens? cheesy cheesy

Cos thats what I'm looking at and if you do, then there's no other option except Havertz playing through the middle.

It's sad to say it sha

Ever wondered why footballers wear shin pad? That kick might have looked harmless but from medical POV, it was not.
Hopefully, he will be back soon.
You mean "harmful"?

If it was harmful from medical point of view, I think Odegaard would have been substituted earlier.

That pass really pain me sha cos that's a potential winning goal but knowing the situation of happened to Odegaard and knowing that it's Odegaard himself, I just believe it's the effect of the knock that caused it

Omo Havertz in midfield against Spurs is minus one but then what can we do. If only Gabriel Jesus will be back before then.

All this people with injury please when are the coming back?

This was just a perfect time for Merino to show up but injury again.

Meanwhile, I was just watching the highlights, can someone remind me again when Rice mic the ball please and how was there penalty earlier on?
Try watch this clip and forward and watch the red card incident well and you'll see the kick of the ball from Rice.

As for the bolded, I wonder how that isn't gathering much talks tbh.

When the ball hit the Brighton's player hand, it (the hand) was away from his body. The distance Ben White hit , theball was far away and the ball was definitely on target. In fact, it would be argued that it would end up at the back of the net without that handball from Brighton's player.

So how the hell was that not given.?

I'll send a link if I see it again

Left to me, he should start from LW while Trossard come in for him. Martinelli should come in for Saka. Like, I am seeing him as a starter sha.

At least you understand me. I am speaking from my own POV. That is why I said I won't be surprised if Havertz starts in Midfield.
According to Arsenalfanatics, Merino will be back for that Liverpool match.

The effects may not have been felt immediately. I have seen someone whose shin usually swell up and immediately, he would start looking for malaria drug. grin grin

Even without touching the ball, that free kick would not have stood because the ball was still rolling. And then, why was Joao Pedro not penalised for the same offence?

J. Pedro kicked his own when ball was totally out of play. If he did that on the pitch, then it's a pure yellow card. No foul/offence for ever kicking ball when it's out of play.

Tbh, Saka should learn how to dive and he should be good at it while doing it(if that's what he really wants)

When Havertz played that big chance and it rebounded to saka, a Brighton defender recklessly slided through to Saka but he evaded it. That's exactly the kind of ones he should be looking to initiate contact with and fall down not all those ones he was doing (esp against Bayern). See how Havertz did his own against Bournemouth last season.

I knew how I smh immediately Saka evaded that tackle esp in that situation(when there were so many bodies around the goal side)

He should leave diving for people wey sabi cause he’s not good at it. Moreover, he can be penalized for it

Yeah, there's a reason I said if that's what he wants cus those his poor dive against Bayern and Aston Villa last week seems to me like something that he want to input into his game.

This one against Brighton, if he'd dived, it would have been a straight pen(except ref wan do us strong thing). That was a really really careless slide/tackle from that Brighton's player. I was expecting a fall from Saka that I was really disappointed he didn't fall instead of being disappointed with his follow-up miss.

Arsenal fans are difficult to please. Last season Saka was diving and I remember some of us were not happy with him.

I don't remember anybody here not happy with him for diving. Perhaps opposition fans maybe.

The only one we were aggrieved against his diving (esp I) was against Neuer cos that diving was all shades of poor dive(leaving the ball and jumping into Neuer leg). Esp when it's a one on one chance (and not 50/50 ball) that would have put us ahead.

Aside that, I don't know or remember anyone not happy with him for diving

Kicked it back to the pitch. We can argue that his action stopped us from taking a quick throw-in now.

Diving is not something u should be blaming a player for not doing well. Diving itself is a punishable offence in football; It can always go against us .

Let him just play his normal game abeg and let's take our chances when they present themselves.
