..and I actually have a solid trust in Sanchez now. Through out this game, I never fidgeted whenever we were under attack..and I also believed he would deal with their corners properly.

The most shocking is my confidence in him whenever he receives a back pass. The guy don balance well now.

Maresca dey try...na just make he stick to his first eleven remain.

One thing we are not talking about is how we easily neutralised arsenal's corners.

I think other teams should learn from how we countered it so easily.

Don't flood the center and make it easy for keeper to make a claim because arsenal always rely on the chaos when they play corners.
Gabriel and Saliba didn't play

Nateeves. This here was my sentiment.

Play our strong squad and amass as much poimts as you can. No be say next match now, we gondey see Tosin, and then people go dey doubt whether na the same chelsea dey play so.

We had no reason drawing to Qarabag and some other small teams we dropped points against
I don't misunderstand your sentiment. We are both talking about the difference between squad building and trophy chasing. We are in the squad building phase.

We have a young team, and inconsistencies will creep up more times than planned for with an average squad age of 23.

Maresca understands this to the letter, and so you must develop as many of your young players for a unavailability due to injuries, loss of form and/or suspensions.

For instance, James needs a rest after today so he doesn't break down. Caicedo is out, but if we didn't prep Santos with minutes earlier in the season, there's no way we are confident he's going into that game fully ready.

Look at James today. I took lots of abuse last season for supporting Maresca playing James in midfield. It cost us points. But those dropped points have led up to this moment.

The same with Palmer, our best player, being out for months, yet still being 2nd/3rd on the table, and going toe-to-toe with the best teams in the world.

It's all down to fantastic squad management methods by Maresca. Let's be patient with him. The guy knows what he's doing.

Incredible defender. If he maintains fitness, he will be one of the best in the league easily.
When will the Fufuna gang led by Raumdeuter with zero knowledge of football, apologize?

There's a really fine defender in there, I hope he stays fit to continue his progress.

I hope all the people that questione my opinion on Maresca can see how good we have been in this game simply vecause he fielded a strong squad, just as he did against barca.

Also, he havent been cowardly even as we were red carded..and yall can see we arent looking weak even with a man down.

Remove attackers and bring in defenders ..then watch as everything crumbles for us
Spot on. cool

Backroom staffs don't get enough credits,we have made lots of appointments behind the scenes, don't keep track again like before 🥲.

Maresca the head coach,cueva the set piece genius from Brentford,that motivation rugby coach lol,our SDs etc.entire structure now performing cohesively.

Accepting the fact that Fofana performed well and that he has improved our defence, is an admittance that Airmark was right about Fofana.

We conceded just 3 goals in the whole of November.

2 against Qarabag
1 against Arsneal now

Uneaten whole November ( 6 games )

4 clean sheet.

Apart from that useless Qarabag match we have been solid defensively. Even Gusto putting in good shift


For me Arteta is ahead of Maresca but I prefer our style of football than Arsenal

I'm really glad that fofana have stayed fit recently.

I never liked dude, but even in his worst days, I would take him over Tosin any day and 100x on weekends. But he have had some strong outings in the few matches he featured.

Abeg make Cowill recover fast so our team will be complete again. People like Tosin no go see shirt unless na carabao
Fofana's problem is not footballing ability but injury. I am glad maresca is taking the same James route of injury management with h8m

He's not. Maresca is the true definition of a proper blend of adaptive and pioneering tactician.

Maresca that will make multiple tactical plans per game to stifle the opponent's attacking efforts, but still aims to dominated play through possession.

Go check the highlights again and see the tactical plan of several moving parts that he put together to counter Arsenal set-pieces.

He fully negated Arsenal's biggest avenue for a goal (set-pieces), knowing that in an 11 vs 11, in sheer attacking open play, we can outmatch them. And when we do, we score a goal.

That alone is elite tactical thinking.

🚨 FIFA will test-run a new rule at the upcoming Arab Cup.

Players who require medical attention would be required to stay off the pitch for a minimum of 2 minutes, before being allowed back into the field of play. The key exception would be goalkeepers.

It’s all in a bid to cut down on diving by players..
