I'd rather he sticks to Martinez until he drops form. Changing GKs often will affect the team flow

Jodera:
I also noticed that about Arteta too. He's very intelligent, it's no coincidence Pep chose him as his assistant when(I believe) they didn't have any prior history. (Open to correction tho)

I believe we should just get an Am and DM. The kind of players really improving under Arteta is really amazing. I was thinking all guys would say it's auba that'll be MOTM, but wen I read here people saying that Nelson of all people (no offence to him oo..lol) and you saying Elneny played like a new signing yesterday, I'm just so doubly convinced Arteta is the right man for us.. Early days tho, but it looks so so much promising.

The winnings
The Mentality
The defence improvement
Individual improvements.
Tactical blueprint pattern.

Long may our progressive upturn continue

COYG!!

BlueRayDick:
Actually Mitland-Niles was the man of the match. He had the left side of defence/midfield on lockdown and made Sallah silent all game. Ibe never seen Salah that silent in a game, I think camera only focused on Salah twice in the game ; one when he was trying to push attack and the other time when the penalties were being played.

Jodera:
Oh wow! I think I read , was it Roland or Iamonyindamola that said Nelson (maybe from their view) and since the official MOTM is Niles. Then that's great. It means both of them gave at least a 7 rating performance. Niles really have improved very well, starting from the fa cup s/f wen it was evident. Locking down salah(as you opined) is really a great feat, and he's consistently growing in that wing back position of his and making it his own. If he continues like this, I don't mind us keeping him.

I want to hear your views, would you still want him sold especially as he's locking down that wingback role excellently?

daveP:
Martinez it is

AMN Says he going nowhere

I think no midfielder coming in this time.

Elneny shows that. Not cos of his play, but cos Partey may no be sure.

Lets take Ndidi abeg. Nobody coming for him is verrrrrry strange to me. Haba

BlueRayDick:
He's turning out to be a good squad player which is impressive. If it's possible to bring in a decent midfielder without selling him, I will gladly welcome the addition of such players in the mould of Partey and Co.

He seem to be a player u can always call upon when u need to tinker with Ur formation/selection. If he can keep up with this above average performances then I will gladly support his staying put.( although this may mean he will keep getting played out of his natural position which I doubt will make him happy)

That said, please don't think he didn't one of his occasional rubbish yesterday ó. He did one useless skill yesterday just from nowhere. It was unnecessary and ouf of the blues; just like he had programmed himself that if he doesn't do the skill he will not forgive himself.

But as an individual I always like to focus on the good people do than their wrong doings...He impressed above all yesterday

Thank you,the winning team
Leno is prone to errors with his passing from back too

kokaneprodigy:
There shouldn’t be headaches , Martinez handles EPL. Leno handles Europa, FA and EFL.

Jodera:
Hmmm

kokaneprodigy:
any reservations on the bolded

First time everyone agree on something, Leno must hope and work hard to get his position back.
Same way he took it from alakoto

BlueRayDick:
It is not as easy as u say. The moment Arteta makes it obvious Martinez gets to keep EPL matches Leno cup matches; believe me Leno will be unsettled and several top clubs will come trying to tempt him with mouthwatering offers and even promise of a starting role.

Don't be surprised if a team like Chelsea that is currently facing goalkeeper issues come bidding for him. Trust me he will be tempted to move and damn all consequences

Bro...you wicked o. Alakoto?? LMAO

Jodera:
Lol..
Na wetin make me talk "hmmm" for kokane post.

Cech-leno scenario isn't like Leno-martinez one bit

iamoyindamola:
The season is long they both will understand
Man u will be having de dea, Henderson and Romero
I feel Leno will still start but he will be under pressure because any mistake Martinez will take over

BlueRayDick:
I'm not saying they won't understand but we are at a risk of losing either of them when offers start coming in because the whole world has seen they are both fantastic keepers.

BlueRayDick:
As in.....two very different scenarios. In this case we have two good keepers in their prime. In fact they are age mates ( both born in 1992). It's not like one would retire for the other soon o.

Only God knows how Arteta will handle the situation sha

It's what it is bro

Where were willian, Lacs and Pepe yesterday?

YoungDaNaval:
Arteta should do anything possible to retain Abemayang biko. That dude reminds me of our very own Igwe Thiery Henry

BlueRayDick:
I pray and hope we get Thomas Partey. He will make our midfield solid honestly
