Jodera:
All these things you're saying is you giving excuses just because someone couldn't carry out his job correctly.

Blame where the issue that broke down the structure, not the structure itself.

Two things killed us ystdy
1..Finishing off good chances created.
2..Someone not knowing his role in which Man u capitalised on.

If we done these two correctly, na you for they hype both Arteta, arsenal as well as Lokonga. But since we don lose, you just have to blame the structure

Shegzdave:
Spy and his oversabi tactics
Be like we go appoint am as assistant coach since he don know Arteta tactics pass am ..
But for real, how will someone say arsenal doesn’t use DM because Partey is good offensively and defensively?
Oga spy, we suppose flog you for seven market days
Na joke I dey ooo

iamoyindamola:
You don't get we were playing dangerously too high on the pitch
Our CBs were in man u yard, that's too much
Second and third goal were the same
Through pass

BlueRayDick:
You just like making unnecessary excuse for useless players . Arsenal was playing well at 1-1 and had the game in control till Lokonga foolishly gave the ball away and we were punished for that .

You heard the coach refer to it in his post match conference , yet na Arteta u wan blame for Lokonga’s foolishness. Anybody that watched the All or Nothing documentary will know there were times the coach told the team to play A and we see them playing B on the field . Several times we were here claiming Arteta tells them to sit back after a lead only for us to see in the documentary that he actually told them to attack which they didn’t.

If anything at all, one thing I’ve learnt from the documentary is that the coach takes the fall for some of the players’ rubbish most times and we will be here blaming him for everything

Jodera:
You want to play deep against people that's playing deep. How does that happen?

After the first goal, we weren't even rushing to even score 2nd goal sef but just dictating play until Lokonga got carried away leaving his position which they capitalised on.

This is how we're always playing, we're dominating, we're getting positions in good areas. We shouldn't try to score because we're away at old Trafford? Na wa ooo

Roland17:
Lokonga complicated things for himself when he tried to play like Partey.

Man was trying to get creative, holding on to the ball and attempting difficult passes after had strayed!

He just needed to keep it simple and do his job.

Jodera:
Person wey no dey positionally good defensively naim you say make him drop deep?


Moreover, I don't know why you think we shouldn't push forward. So we cannot aim for 3points again even when we're on the ascendency? Na Elneny and Partey injury I blame for this thing sha

iamoyindamola:
Let's leave that one fess
I am interested in Sambi's performance
That mofos didn't only expose the back he gave them the second goal

iamoyindamola:
Spy360 now let's analyze Sambi awilo lonkonga

iamoyindamola:
Arteta caused this
When we equalised he pushed them too much to be expose
Scummies will always be scummies, they will hide under officiating and bad decisions


We move

Rqw1:
You need to climb up and set your dish correctly. Mine hasn’t shifted for almost a year. Only thing is satview may show sometimes and not show sometimes but you need to always rescan atleast once a week


For those on astra tvc news and tvc entertainment are now on astra 28 maybe temporarily maybe permanently

iamoyindamola:
Don't change narrative the bet is he will be in the team not going out on loan

BlueRayDick:
You just like to quote person out of context sha . Against Villa I was on the thread running commentary as the match was ongoing , several times in the match Lokonga attempted contesting for Aaerial balls but los the duels. The moment he won one, I mentioned it here .

Away from that , When he had the ball he kept it simple and didn’t overdo things and we were grateful for that . He didn’t get into situations where he would be out-muscled and made to chase an attacker drawing him out of position .

Am I wrong to hope he will give a similar performance against a superior opponent in a high profile match ?

Jodera:
Lol, na the Koko be this... I deh wait

Eawwal:
Folarin Balogun scores again.

BlueRayDick:
Me too. I just hope he keeps it simple like he did vs Villa and not get forced to commit errors when under pressure .

ObaIgwe1:
The full traveling Arsenal squad:

Ramsdale, Turner, White, Soares, Tomiyasu, Holding, Gabriel, Saliba, Marquinhos, Tierney, Zinchenko, Smith, Lokonga, Xhaka, Vieira, Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Jesus, Nketiah.

#AFC

iamoyindamola:
With the amount of criticism var got yesterday I hope today will be better and favourable

mostob:
I disagree. How many goals and assists did Ode has last season. ESR is more likely to score than Ode. The only thing Ode has over ESR is playmaking.

NB: This is not an harmful comparison

mostob:
Hopefully, ESR will be ready to go tomorrow. I kinda prefer him to Ode as he is more direct and doesn't dilly-dally on the ball like Ode.

With Jesus and Martinelli roaming anyhow, I believe he will have the freedom to make those late runs to the box.

With Zinky and Partey out, our attack and defence will need to step up tomorrow.

We should be expecting a red card and a Penalty tomorrow especially with a lot of controversies in today's EPL matches.

iamoyindamola:
Yes I never wanted him doesn't mean the coach won't start him

iamoyindamola:
Lmao
You actually think we don't know arteta will play awilo
Come on!!!

iamoyindamola:
God forbid bad thing
This your lokonga ticket no go ever sell

tiger28:
Tinubu is BUSY building alliances and strategically planning ahead while these ibo Political amateurs are wasting their time online.

They will all see Shege AFTER the elections......

BTW, do the ibos have a Plan B after their loss at the elections?

Ibos are tooooo Primitive for Politics!

iamoyindamola:
Spy our tactics and position expert

Jodera:
Are you saying both Martinelli and Saka disobeyed Arteta cos they still didn't switch and maintained their natural wing till the end of the match

iamoyindamola:
Another one

iamoyindamola:
No just clearing him na
Because everyone knows we needed DM more than tielemans
Unlike you that was arguing with jodera about CDM and DM

Jodera:
Nah, try to rewatch the match again, they still shifted to their original positions before the second goal. During the switch, there was a time Martinelli cut inside and took a shot with his left foot which didn't carry enough power and accuracy. Immediately after that, they were switched back to their original position. .
If you remember vividly towards the end of the game (before the 2nd goal), Martinelli played a good curling ball, but Palhinha used his head to deflect it out wide for a corner. Where Martinelli played that ball was from the right.

And yeah, we switched to a back 3 with Saka and Martinelli playing wingbacks then later to a back 4 when Tomi was introduced. Arteta is really learning in his tactics

iamoyindamola:
Really tell me more

Jodera:
Hmmmm... If na caution no problems sha but the length of these injuries are troubling.

God knows I'm afraid if anything happens to Saka sha. I mean, no real threat at that wing. I remember against Fulham when Martinelli and Saka switched wing when we were looking for the winning goal. Omo, both Martinelli and Saka wasn't at their explosive best cos they couldn't beat their man effectively and weren't even a goal threat. Arteta have to change them back to their original wings before they could be very effective again. It makes me wonder, how will our right wing be if unfortunately something happens to Saka.

We just need to be proactive against Man u as you said, but we must watch our back

iamoyindamola:
Are you comparing tielemans with rice?
Is tielemans a DM
Is he better than xhaka?
No one said he must get him by force, when we raised the DM issue spy said if we get tielemans he can replace partey which everyone disagreed with
Majority wanted him to replace xhaka but since he's untouchable and found a good form we all let the tielemans hype died

We never said compulsory they must add bodies to the squad we only complained on where we are lacking which a blind man can see that
Another question is do we ever need viera?

Roland17:
This is not the season when we should be unpredictable. We should be competing at a consistent and high level if we are to make the top 4. We can’t afford any slips.
