Oh boy 🤣🤣

daveP:
No mistake me for someone else o. Lol Me ke?

Iamoyindamola abeg e be like Germa dey mix me up with another person. Rescue me abeg😂

MSGAMBLE9:
For me, it's not about his positioning but his resolve to stay on his feet and fight using his body well playing to the whistle not falling down with every body-check or touches... He needs to improve going forward, Ref in England rarely awards 50-50 or tussle...


Rice (MOTM for me) bar the mistake really played out his soul today as always and Mosquera pressing forced some errors from Spurs backline especially Spence...

mostob:
Especially with a build like this. Defenders should be rubbing body with aboniki sef

BlueRayDick:
Yakubu manage!

mostob:
🤣🤣🤣🤣

daveP:
It's simple as ABC. I noticed he started on the LW and then got more central then back to LW zone. The link up play with Eze was cool. He was in many open spaces for this game to end 7-1 but Trossard, Eze and Saka went for glory instead in all 3 instances. He even defended when Spurs went for a fast counter and only Gabi and Timber were the last 2. 👏🏾

I hope it continues with Chelsea.

Spy360:
VG relying only on link up play means if the next person isn't in form he will struggle.

That's his problem.

He only shines when someone else in the team shines.

Fkforyou:
Raya na werey!

Him go do blunder wey go make you want kill him, but you can’t because you know he is good normally. To further frustrate you, him go do another World class save the next match totally erasing whatever anger you had for him initially.

Baba sabi gaslight people well well. 🤣😂

germaphobe:
In the post match interview of Arteta and Gyokeres, you would see exactly what the problem has been all along.
Eze once complained that the tactical aspect of the game is usually overwhelming and Arteta also said then that his lessons learnt was perhaps on the tactical part too.
Yesterday Gyokeres said he is finally understanding his team mates. Which is evident with the runs he made yesterday and the positions he got into yesterday. Arteta admitted to finally being able to figure out how to use Eze. I believe he should have also figured out how to use the others too.
Our wingers made more inward runs as opposed to always running on the wings. At some point Saka was in the middle while Trossard drifted to the right.
Hincapie gave Trossard the chance to play inwards and influence the game more by overlapping properly.
Mosquera, hmm. Solid performance. Very solid.
After that Rice mistake, he played so much like his life depended on avoiding any mistake. 💪
Raya proved to have forgotten and let behind him the mistake of last week.
That same commitment and energy towards the remaining 10 epl finals and we are sure of celebrating like the did at spursy, but this time with a real trophy.

daveP:
Ramsdale was like that at some point too. But MA vex gaaan. Got so bad the guy went to goof mode permanently. Lol. Raya needs to work on not allowing that Wolves Bueno moment to repeat itself. It was annoying.

Didn't we say it
Just yesterday I was telling you how Eze wasn't bad and gyokeres was starved.
The funny thing is the guy una they defend they open up sometimes and admit his flaws.
When we criticised him we already see the flaws which he's supposed to correct them but his defensive mindset wouldn't.
I am sure if we had drawn the match, una go scapegoat rice

germaphobe:
bro, I think you get me wrong sometimes. I didn't say Gyokeres is bad, you can dig up to say my post about him. I was just about his positioning and lack of getting into space at the right time. Yes Eze and Arteta finally found a way to make it click, thank God for that. But you know my only worry was about his epl performance, of which he surprised me yesterday again, and I give him that.

EBERE EZE BREAKING SOULS TONIGHT🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/mk1frWZduW

iamoyindamola:
That's why I look at people that blame ramsdale but won't do the same for Raya

BlueRayDick:
It was evident all along that Eze gets overwhelmed with the tactical demands of playing in this current Arsenal team. This Arsenal team is not some small Crystal palace where he is allowed to play free role, give the bearest minimum when it comes to tracking back his man and lose ball in critical part of the pitch without any serious consequence.

In this current Arsenal team as much as you have your primary role to play either as an attacker, playmaker, central midfielder or defender; you still have to be tactically aware and cover up not just for your own flaws but for other teammates' when the going gets tough. He really needs to work on his stamina and play with his head 100% in the game. He needs all the self awareness he can get when playing that playmaking role else he will find it difficult to bench Odegaard anytime he is fit.

As regards Gyokeres, I am not surprised he mentioned that he's beginning to understand his team mates better. We all saw the flaw in his positioning and runs which made passes difficult to get to him. And when the passes get to him, the pressure of trying to prove naysayers wrong has been really making him nervous leading to low output for him.

If he continues to make the kind of runs he mad yesterday particularly the one for the second goal which was from Odegaard's one touch pass, I don't see any reason why he shouldn't shine bright in the later part of the season. When he makes runs like that , it makes it very easy for his fellow players to pick him out with the right weighted pass. His first touch for that his first goal is also an improvement from the heavy first touch he's had for most part of the season .

How happy I would be if we can batter those bridge boys no sunday. By battering, I mean a thorough defeat that would give their fans PTSD.

My other wish would be goals from Kai and Noni but 3 points come first.

Gucciboy:
Small win overconfidence don full your body

The guy holding that phone with Rice's wife on display Rice with needs to visit Akwa Ibom make he come see somethig. If only he knows how much premium enjoyment Rice dey enjoy.

It is a disgusting behavior being displayed by the guy.

mostob:
No be overconfidence bro. I just love beating those people.

iamoyindamola:
See the torture our coach subjected us to last season
