Imagine trying to play out from the back with DDG, shaky shaky Darmian, and Acerbi wey stiff like NEPA pole.

The great Chinua will resurrect to rewrite Things Fall Apart.

Acerbi can pass but DDG will carry him to where he no know.

patrickmuf:
DDG is bad at passing and commanding his box, that's something we have known right from when he joined the club especially the aspect that has to do with commanding his box.

Our defenders bar Martinez and Shaw are not very good at retaining possession under pressure and it gets worse when you go higher up the pitch.

We need an upgrade on DDG, Dalot/AWB, as cover for Shaw as Malacia does not look ready, a CM who can easily slot in as a DM, or maybe a DM and a CM, we also need a CF. Seeing that we have limited funds, as the coach which position will you prioritize? I think a percentage of those who are wrongly labeled as DDG fans include people who have looked at the team and think we can do with improvements in the outfield positions as a priority first before we look to replace DDG.

I don't think we will do any better if we spend £50m or more (Which will likely represent a chunk of our transfer budget) to sign a replacement for De Gea compared to improving the outfield positions. If Sheikh Jassim's bid is successful then, we can go all out, and bridge all the gaps we have rightly identified in the team.

Talking about transfers out of the club, I don't blame those who are at the forefront of it because as a big team, we pay more weekly wages meaning if a player does not perform, no top team will go after the player leaving us at the mercy of mid-table teams who simply can not match the wages we pay hence will ask that we reduce the transfer fee or keeping the player and paying his wages until his contract expires. Take Sancho for example, even second-rate teams like Spurs won't pay up to £60m for him looking at the wages he is on thus we have to keep and hope he miraculously improves or sell him for cheap.

They are odd scenarios though where we should have done better like the Lingard case.

The reaction in that page was more about how Onana helped Inter beat the City press with his calmness on the ball...

That na post match commentary, it is not uncommon to see someone making such post.

You can dig up when rumors were rife that we are replacing De Gea. I was very vocal here that we had other areas of the team that needed improvement.

You were one of the promoters of ball playing goalkeeper. You were firmly in the camp that wanted De Gea replaced. I no get shovel but I am sure...

patrickmuf:
Any chance we get Onana?

patrickmuf:
Onana single-handedly ensured we didn't make the knockout stages of the UCL...

Worst goalkeeper in the club's history alongside Taibi...

odizeey:
The very worst.

Jamiuokolaa:
I remember the tactics we were hoping to see ETH implement when we bought Onana aka "from Onana to Mount"

This is not a pitch matter. We put ourselves in this situation. This current generation of Nigerian footballers is a disgrace.

How can they keep increasing the number of African qualifiers and we keep missing out on World Cup qualification?

raumdeuter:
Out of 8 qualifiers played so far, we won only 2. Surely no be pitch issue

With Cunha injured, this should be our formation on Sunday. God punish that man if he plays Bruno in midfield just to accommodate Mount

I doubt Amorim will play Shaw as wingback. Expect to see Dalot there while Shaw will take the place of Maguire.

Obama to Mount to Hojuju!

Is Dorgu injured or suspended?

Do defense win you titles or is it just arteta debunking that myth, because arsenal have had the best defense in the league for the past three season but haven't won the league

Yes he wanted DDG gone but warned us very well about Onana.

We really dropped the ball replacing DDG with Onana man
