Still fair just that na relegation he go finish

Calafiori travelled with the squad. With Rice back, Partey should be rested.

Rice - Jorginho- Trossard
Sterling - Havertz - Martinelli

4-2-4... Soak the pressure and hit them on counter.

Zinchenko will sneak out of the squad due to injury and sneak back in without anybody noticing. How?

I thought his injury is minor o

I also want Partey and Saka to be rested too.
Nwaneri should be given more minutes also.

All eyes should also be on Man City while taking care of Atalanta

Trossard's Father is the referee that will officiate our UCL game

Michael Oliver is the referee that have been picked for our crunch match against Man City

Trossard father indeed.

Oliver dey try call things down but him.head they touch.

Na him give Martinelli two yellow card at a stretch

I doubt Arteta will want to throw the boy into a Champions league match just like that; except we are leading by 2 or 3 goal margins and the time is far spent.

Dem truly resemble

As for Oliver, he's also the ref that never gave Kovacic 2 yellow card (or at least 1 red card) when we played Man City last season (Ist leg).

He's also the ref that clearly close eye when Doku give McCallister Shao lin kick in the dying minutes during Man City-Liverpool game (2nd leg).

Na him be the chief ref that officiated that their Abu Dhabi game where they were paid 20k. City owner is one of the highest board member of that company that sponsored the match.

I believe the guy have a bias for Man City sha

Yeah, I also doubt he will but I just want Nwaneri to be given these experiences and time minutes cos we really need Odegaard deputy ASAP.

Sanctioning the exit of both Viera and Esr all for the slow integration of Nwaneri doesn't make me comfortable.

It'll be crazy for us to be playing bus parking one way football just because we don't have Odegaard (or a creative spark) in the team.

Jodera:

Maybe till Zinchenko is back sha. He is the next after Odegaard who can help us retain possession at the final third.

Ethan no too get time to dey dilly-dally with the ball like Odegaard. He is suitable for transitional tactic.

Atalanta is good but we should be able to get the job done.
I'm particularly concerned about Timber. He is playing too many minutes. Maybe Calafiori will in for him today. We need him fresh against that low budget Mahrez.

We should prepare to play against 12 men on Sunday. Oliver kinda have a little affiliation to City. He failed to send off Kovacic twice last season when we played City.

Pires had to resort to shalaye eventually .

We will definitely not be parking bus against Atalanta .

As for the Tottenham game , I watched an analysis of the game and it was not parking the bus per se; we literally played to their strength .

We allowed Spurs have the ball while we parked our midfield making it difficult for them to break us in the middle . We know their wingers are not the best in 1v1 situation ; so we allowed their wingers have the ball double marking them.

If u notice , u will see they got frustrated at some point and were just hurling the ball into our CB position which our capable CB’s kept on “budeying out “.

Arteta took a gamble in that game by allowing them have the ball and we rely on our choked midfield and defence to limit spurs chances . If u notice they had 4 shots off target while we had 0, that’s evidence of their frustration which led them to be shooting aimlessly

I wish we didn't sell Smithrowe

4months absence loading.


In July, i was highlighting why we need deputies for these guys. At least if you're emptying the squad, get the direct replacement of these guys that play almost every minute, if not for the epl, but for the ucl fixtures, wrt lessons from last season ucl.


But No.


Now, i am afraid for Saka at this stage. All this better don't come back to haunt us. I hate this kind of outcome.

Haa let's see what our master planner will do
I also complained about not getting replacement for fringe players
Honestly the whole transfer just looked like a waste of time because we did absolutely nothing
The fact that we have been fortunate with injuries over the years he should have known it's coming
Let's wait and see

It's true sef.
I momentarily forgot about him. Zinny's Injury fvcked him up against Tottenham sha cos that was the only biggest opportunity he had for him to stake a claim in that midfield.

As for Ethan, I really don't mind if he's different from Odegaard in terms of skillset cos that might be another weapon as long as he's creative, press resistant and have a good eye for pass and good at shooting, then we can still need him there. He doesn't need to be really dilly dallying like Odegaard to play his game.

I think Timber we'll be fine. Defenders no deh too deh affected (in terms of fatigue and recovery) compared to midfielders and attackers except of course the said defender is injury prone.

But Calafiori should be given good minutes Sha. I hope so even if it means coming in as a substitute.

I said it here with my response to Lush.100.

I just hope we're mentally ready against him on Sunday

The way these fixtures are arranged sha
City played at home yesterday while we will be be playing away today. And we still have to travel to City on Sunday.

I know this shouldn't be an excuse but little details like this matters.

IZUKWU:

Yea... For squad depth.
But to directly replace Odegaard, No. Both are not the same type of players.

Spot on.. thanks for this
I really like the analysis cos it really broke down and gave a different view of what really happened on Sunday. At a point they were really frustrated sef


It's UCL night. I'm just so hyped up

Where did you see 4 months? 😲😲
BTW how many minutes altogether did those we sold during the last window played for us?
