How is it similar to yours...

1. We ran in before the corner was taken opposed to as it was taken.
2. We didn’t block off players to allow for a run from a centreback
3. We weren’t lined up.

It is funny how you assnal fans always wants to make everything about you,like teams can't get creative with corner kick tactics again??


Before you had gabu,we had skrtel who was scoring bullet headers for fun without dirty tactics and dark arts,he even scored 2 against you then in that 5-0 thrashing tongue

If you were son and spurs,you will say Cunha and wolves copied you cos they scored directly from a corner first against manyoo,mtchewww

I don't think things are black and white like u are seeing it. I don't think it has to do with whether Arteta gives young defenders chances than young midfielders/forwards.

He will not just bench a senior player for young player simply for the fun of it, rather he will do it when condition warrants it. For example, he won't say because he wants Nwaneri to play, he will bench Odegaard when he is fit, and we know him to be the fulcrum of our attacking play. A coach should not be managing a team based on the feelings of the fans but on what he sees in the players' performance in training.

I believe Skelly is playing because he offers more than Zinchecko and the Kiwior does in training on that side of our defense.
The sad fact is that it is indeed that black and white. Not playing him when Òde was injured trashes that 1st rule. Suddenly, Ode returned and he began to give him minutes, all pointing to the fact that he has finally realized and was doing the right thing at a late time.

Having learnt that lesson, he's now trying to make up with Skelly. Rem Skelly was available since last season.


Anyways, he should be faster in learning lessons. We all need that curve for him.

There are other senior players who are ahead of Nwaneri in the pecking order. That Arteta trains the boys weekly and believes the other senior players ahead of him would give him more than Nwaneri. You and me are just fans who only speculate from the sidelines, the coach and the players are the ones who know what happens in the training ground.

I have learnt to always trust the decision of a coach when he says a player is not ready. We were all shouting for Arteta to use Saliba when Arteta believe he was not ready and needed to go on loan. When he was sure he was ready, he started using him and it has turned out to be the best decision.

These things are not black and white like u want to see it.

Even Man utd that were wailing about our corner kick goals, yesterday I saw some of their fans blaming their set piece coach for not training their players on how well to defend cornerkicks after Cunha's goal. Suddenly they realize their set-piece coach is not doing enough. Yet they were slating us for scoring corner against them

This one pass Hierarchy stuff. If na hierarchy why is he so overusing and makeshifting till he is convinced it is not working. That's one strong reason i said na Black and white. He didn't apply during emergency. He rather makeshift till he got super tired of it all. I understand managing the youngies, but make he sef dey gbera. Abi na hierarchy wey dey gba he wan stick too? Productivity over hierarchy. To me he's insulted Partey with that RB experiment.


Overall, im glad his adaptation>>>>>Pep

Since Arsenal game they still no wan work on that setpiece. Liverpool don shapali adapt.

I pray We add this freekick goals to the mix when Saka returns. It's been long we scored from one.

For now, Liverpool, Ya walking alone o. No be Jover una get. Na Hoover.

Baba Partey played as CM, RB and CB at Athletico under Simeone; Arteta didn't just start playing him at RB neither is it an experiement. Go back to 2017, 2018 while he was at Athletico Madrid u will see Partey playing RB for Simeone's team.

Arteta is using him there because he's tested and trusted in that role over the years.

Haba habaaaa nowww. At the detriment of the midfield. When he played in RB under simeone, who played the DM role? That was an excess personnel situation. Here na emergency situation now. The two don't fit as example. We need him where he's best output is pls. Anyway, White will be back soon.

Arsenal Vs Loserpool this season Partey played in RB and it was one of his best performances in an Arsenal shirt.

Partey played RB under Simeone not because there was excess personnel situation but because the regular RB's were out. It is the same thing that is currently happening that has prompted Arteta to use him in that position.

Let's hope white comes back soon and Timber also gets to play RB while Calafiori and Tomiyasu are also fully fit. When the regular starters are fully fit, we can start calling for Arteta's head for using players out of their natural position.

Agreed na Una invent corner kicks,How is that similar to your corner kick routine,did you see anyone distracting,pining down,causing chaos and blocking the goalkeeper like Ben white which is the most important part of your corner kicks setup

This was Slot against you in preseason,is this not similar to inswingers and outswingers we were taking yesterday?
All these ones na shalaye, since the absence of Ben white, have we not be scoring from corners and nobody is distracting the keeper

I must not hear any complain about our corner antics from you since your team copies it

You made sense.

One thing I’ve observed about Arteta this season is that he has learnt to make decisions that he feels is best for his team and not listen to external opinion.

There is also this level of Calm I’m beginning to observe with him no matter the situation. He takes each game as it comes, maybe is Maturity or Naivety, only time will tell.

If you watch some of his post match interviews, you might get what I’m saying.

So who would you have played at RB? Calafiori, White, Tomi, Zinchenko we're all injured. Timber was not even half-fit. Please, tell me what you would have done better if you were the coach.

Iwobi? You noticed he always up his game against Chelsea? I thought na only me sha. Maybe because of what Chelsea did to his brothers (Omeruo and Aina).

BTW, na ungratefulness dey make us complain about Martinelli. I watched Doku yesterday and I almost switched off my phone.
I said it in one of my posts, games Shaku Shaku (Gbaku) and Headless run (GbaNelli) single handedly lose for their team respectively ehn is enough to stone both.
