Destalker say, when God pick your call, whether you wear Jersey or you no wear, you go play for match.

God don pick her call whether the story is true or false. She even said someone has offered her a remote job.

Nigerians no go kee person, remote job and awoof for person wey Dey perform her marital duties

Misplaced priorities sha

Hausa:
Even if the stats don't favour RVp, Giroud is still no where close.
The advantage RVP always had over Giroud was ability.
Dem no dey sell am for market.

That's why I'm hoping Arteta will go into the market and get us players with Actual grounded ability, and not players with perceived ability.

I’m shocked Spy would even compare RVP to Giroud, reason I don’t use stats to determine the ability of a player.

For the bolded, I hope Arteta listens and not go for another generational talent, cause we need an Actual Talent

GloriousGbola:
so nigerians too are joining oyibos in ridiculous culture wars

thats all i can take from this

Idleness and joblessness in Nigeria contributes to this culture war

Spy360:
RVP with a G to G ratio of 0.5 can also be called average right?

Can you check their minutes played and compare it with their goals scored

Van Persie- banged 30 goals twice while with us, win a golden boot with us, was mostly out injured and still dropped good numbers.

Giroud- highest goal tally with us in the league was 16, was mostly fit, went on some goal drought despite we chasing the league.

One was good with us and the other was average.

I saw it on a friend WhatsApp status this morning, so this woman just made over a million Naira soft just cause she cooks for her husband.. we’re not even sure she does but her reply to a post made her over a million Naira

BlueRayDick:
Don't mind him; he will just be arguing for argument sake. If u choke am well enough, he will start insults like he called DaveP unschooled on top small football argument.

Those that indulge him have strength ooo Anytime I see his comments about a player and I see it can lead to any back and forth, I just Jump and Pass

Spy360:
How can you just jump into an argument without first finding out the premise. Na wa for you.

I keep saying that this is an argument about whether Giroud is useless or not but about RVP Vs Giroud.

Even from the figures they is a difference in their outputs which no one has disputed. The question is based on that difference can you say Giroud was useless? I don't get how ten people in this forum can't comprehend a simple statement.

If Van Persie scored 0.5goals per game and Giroud scored 0.4goals, can we say Giroud was useless? Simple question you guys turned it to Giroud Vs Van Persie.

If I insult somebody now they will say I don start.

I’ve been following the back and forth on this matter, I’ve not seen where anyone described Giroud as useless, the context was AVERAGE and not useless, every Arsenal fan can agree he was average while he was with us.

As for the insults, it’s not needed nah, we can all converse without the need for insults and moreover, I believe most people here are adults so please keep the insults

How will an ardent Arsenal fan compare Van Persie and Giroud in their goal scoring ability?

Some people just like argument sha

BlueRayDick:
As in....I just weak.

Raumdeuter do good deed , Don J still see possibility of "wicked abroadian" tactics inside

Whether he likes it or not, he is a wicked abroadian

You go too Explain, but Evidence disproves

BlueRayDick:
Don J get real personal problem with Raumdeuter.

Perhaps whoever Organized Portable vs Igwe 2pac fight needs to arrange a boxing match between them so they can fight man to man.

Jodera:
Na the thing deh weak me with Arteta.
He just changed a winning formula at what was working.

The cohesion of last season was just gone, now we labour to play and we're very very conservative. No fast play or quick breaks. Something that we were very very good at last season. E just be like say we dey conserve energy for wetin I no just know.

Above all, we need a good striker. I just hope we don't slip further down the table

I just Dey observe Arteta and this January transfer window will determine if I’ll keep having the hope or if I’ll give up the hope on the League

Jodera:
This team is so waaay off from last season. From the performance to the goals to the cohesion, it's just so bad. Only defence seems to even stand strong and even the defence sef is just the CBs.

How our attack is just toothless both from Midfield to the forward is just so so bad. [b]Arteta is just mismanaging this season with his pragmatism (scoring first and trying to close shop). [/b]We should have continued like last season when we were all gun blazing. Now we're just the opposite.

Anytime I look at both tables from this season and last, I just deh shake my head

This right here is what I’ve also noticed, instead of scoring goals, he’ll be trying to close close like this is Mourinho team.

I was discussing this with a fellow Arsenal fan and he was still defending Arteta on it and O asked why we keep doing something over and over again and expect results, cause even Me that Stan Arteta is beginning to give him a bombastic side eye🌚😂. Mehn, all I want for the team is to quickly gel up as we’re entering into the other half of the season.

Happy New Year to you all
Happy Birthday to Nihilistjnr and Odunharry

Happy New Year Gooners.
May the League be ours irrespective of any challenges on the way this season.

mostob:
There is nothing Nelson wanna play bro. Nelson, Kiwior, Nketiah and ESR might soon be shipped off.

I’m not saying he has the ability to change the game but Arteta always introducing them whenever he’s loosing a game or comebacks isn’t enough. Players you don’t give enough playing time but bring them in whenever you’re losing a game is unfair.

mostob:
Fatigue? Are they the only ones playing every four days?

I just weak bros.
What could’ve happen, they don’t press well, to score goals con look strange ti them, loosing the ball carelessly.

Abeg, who approved that Kiwior guy? That guy isn’t it, Arteta is so biased toward those player, always introducing Nelson to the game whenever he’s looking for a goal as if the boy is a messiah but to give him play time, MBANU

Martinelli should be glued to the bench for some games abeg.

mine3112:
I think the players is about to send Arteta packing because you can't be giving balls away like that. I want to believe it is deliberate.

Can this be fatigue?
All our attackers just off at same time

To score Dey hard these boys

This shit sucks

Jodera:
Like person go look stats finish say Van Persie and Giroud dey the same category for arsenal shirt.

I kukuma no blame Spy sha

I don’t take those that use stats to judge a player serious, stats that can make a bum look world class?

The only information I take serious in that stat is that number of goals and assist, but the rest isn’t enough jaweee..

I like Popi “Eye test” mode of judging a player

Spy360:
You hate stats because they tell you the truth that you don't want to hear. Like Jodera when people carry preconceived notions they close their eyes to reality. I have used their performance records to show that Van Persie, Adebayor and Giroud are all on the same level for Arsenal yet you doubt.

We should be bold enough to accept fact when it is laid before us.

So you watched Arsenal at that time and tell Me those three mentioned are all same for Arsenal?
Same stats that’ll make Nicolas Jackson look world class?

Stats isn’t enough to know a classy player abeg

Jodera:
Van Persie and Giroud in the same Category?
Someone that scored 30goals for us

Adebayor, the only season he played lone striker for us (without Igwe), he churned out 24 goals.


Why don't you drop their minutes per goal ratios for clearer understanding?

Everyone knows Laca was very very average for us

This is one of the reason I hate those stats

Like this, we’ve lost twice to WestHam

Jodera:
Na just say na internet him dey talk this thing, na why. I no believe say him fit talk this Kain thing for gathering of arsenal fans

If he says this in the gathering of non-arsenals fans sef, him fit collect

Sorry to say, that’s absolute balderdash

Hausa:
High technical football IQ.
I'm glad you mentioned this.

That right there is lacking in Odegaard, Saka and Martinelli.

Sorry to say,
I think at this point, you’re trolling

Hausa:
You're interested in goal and assist. I'm interested in growth, development, and dominance.

Saka and Martinelli are not growing and developing.
Let's say they are, it is slow as opposed to how we anticipated.
You've not asked yourself why.

By growing, developing, improving, and dominating, you become a force. We know this by internal history - Henry, RVP, Fabregas, Hleb, Nasri, Song, Ashley Cole, etc.
We also know this by external history - CR7, Messi, Vinicius, Mbappe, Mané, Salah, Bale, etc. Even Rodrygo of yesterday.

Saka and Martinelli are supposed to be in an upward trajectory based on the status of their club and position, number of games played, opponents, and level of competition they've played in.
If you're a man of analysis, you'll realise it isn't upward but zig-zag. Today, up. Tomorrow, down. Next week, uncertain, unsure, excuses, etc.

If you didn't follow football in the past, no problem.
In the present, Bellingham, Vinicius, Mbappe, etc., shows us what it means that you're growing as a player.
Not only in stats, but in force, command, total domination, etc.
I watched Mané grow from strength to strength in Southampton and then Liverpool. Total dominance, force, unplayable, week-in-week-out performances, etc. Same with Hazard, Sanchez, Bale, Salah, etc.

I'm an Arsenal fan through and through, but I can tell you for a fact that I'm not seeing this in Saka and Martinelli. Add Odegaard.
We can all console ourselves with goals, assists, best player, team of the year, etc.
I won't buy it.

By growth and development, do you mean other teams looking to woo them away from the Emirates?
So until Madrid starts wooing them away from us, is this what you consider Growth.

Cause those young boys giving us double digits goals and assist every season and you say they aren’t developing?

A quick question:
How does attackers improve apart from goals, assists, high technical football IQ?

mostob:
You Gerrit. The rice that has been playing since is uncooked. Imagine if the rice is cooked....ooh lah lah lah

Playing with our squad is what I’ve been looking forward to

mostob:
Timber and Partey back in training.

Time to cook and Party😌😁

Roland17:
I just love what is happening to Newcastle.

I’ve been following them since that magomago they did to us and I’m happy with what I’m seeing happening to them so far.

Merry Christmas Gooners

MSGAMBLE9:
Talking about being clinical, did you notice how Jesus blast that lay-off from Nelli in the first half like nothing is at stake... that should have been 2-0 cos he has grounds on VVD.


Even Jesus is not all that.

Exactly..
VVD wasn’t really on him before he blasted that ball to god knows where, just that he’s assisted in fluidity among our attackers, and I like that but he should add clinically to his game.
