IPOB caused their mayhem in the south east. But in Lagos it was NURTW thugs.

1.. Lol. We agreed aouar deal with Lyon and everything before the deadline day. While partey was 30min before deadline they submitted his bid, but I'm to agree Arteta chose partey first over aouar. Lol.
All of us follow this transfer deal
oo, remember?

2.. Spot on Wenger never joked with creativity. I have to agree.

But then, can you name me the creativities Emery sold??

3... Fair point. I'll give you that

The fact we all agree is that Lyon were willing to sell.
I believe Arteta wanted the two of them. But Arsenal was put off by the cost of getting both in the same window.

Why didn't we sign Aouar?

Jodera:
All these examples is what lacazette is suppose to be doing for us so that Auba can perform. That's like false 9. In fact, presently, that's what Kane is doing at Tottenham. Maybe just maybe the roles of 9 is changing. It's not as if they're Am per se. But laca doesn't have the qualities for that

Lacazette is not a support striker or attacking midfielder. So he cannot perform that function. We need a Bergkamp type of player to play a 4-4-2. A player with skill, guile, movement, eyes etc.

Or a Fabregas type in a 4-3-3 and so on. But lack all of these. The last person we had that was close was Iwobi. We sold him.

lol why do you mention me, obviously you know I don't share the belief that the wandering stars are planets. If they are planets they should not be shining like the stars. They are shining because they are stars not planets.

Like I stated before, the name of our week days was derived from the ancient pagan gods and the ancients believed these pagan gods are represented In the stars and heavenly luminaries, Which is why we don't have anything like earth day in any of the week days because they never regarded the earth as one of these heavenly luminaries.

What you call mars is a wandering star and not a planet.

I mentioned you because you are my online friend plus you share same passion howbeit different beliefs.

Meanwhile, wandering stars are other names of planets.

Today is a good day to spot the planet Mars as it is very close to the moon and bright enough to be seen with the naked eyes. I just came in from sky gazing to post this. I have been monitoring the planet's moments since September and today is just so good to view it.

but last season, it was mostly through the fullbacks ball get to attack and not firmino.
Granted firmino drops deep to dictate play, but their creative hub were Robertson and Arnold.
And their front 3

Which creative hub? An advanced fullback is just what he is, an AM is far different.

Remember Okazaki for Leicester? He plays in a front two with Vardy but actually drops deep to create chances. Same thing Firminho does for Liverpool and even Brazil.

kokaneprodigy:
That’s because Wenger prioritized midfield, which was why I was of the opinion we prioritize midfield before splashing on defence.

The code is, if your midfield is very balanced (defencewise and attackwise) you’ll solve two problems to an extent. Wenger never joked with midfield he even had surplus of midfielders. Reason we could still compete despite not having the best defence in league and had someone like Giroud leading our attack. Imagine having Giroud as our CF in this squad na die. Then we had midfielders that were excellent finishers. Now if Auba doesn’t score we are a toast!

You are spot on. Though I'd preferred defense. But both departments are critical.

Jodera:
1... Arteta prioritized both, not just the Dm. Just that it was aouar agent(brother) that killed everything.

2.. I never said that, but you'll agree with me that Wenger had more creative and technical players than emery and Arteta

3... In as much that I'll agree with you that Wenger is a very very good coach, but then EPL wasn't competitive as it is now. The kind and calibers of coaches then is not what we have now, and the kind of players we have then is not what we have now.

In fact, it's sad to see how low we come

1. At the long run he had to choose, he chose a DM. It's a good decision for me, but we have to bear the consequences.

2. Wenger never joked with creativity o. He always had them in quantum. lol. Emery came and just sold all of them,

3. I don't take that as an excuse. Successful managers can adapt even in miraculous ways.

Jodera:
I never fancy Willian sha.
If you say hazard, I might agree.

But at least, you'll agree with me that a good winger will cushion our Am problem.

Liverpool is a good example

Liverpool uses Firmino to create chances for Salah and Mane. The latter players too drop deep at times to create chances. We don't have such tactically adaptable players apart from Saka.

Every team must need a creative player if they must score goals.

Jodera:
if we have good creative and goal scoring wingers, the Am talk will be cushioned a bit.

Imagine we have 2 Sanchez on both side of the wings with an Auba. I assure you goals will come.

I admit, the midfield wasn't daring, but if only our attackers were daring too, it would have been OK

Sanchez is not your regular winger o. That guy na all round attacking player. He creates, assists and scores. No just compare him with what we have now. I'd say a younger Willian would come close.

Jodera:
lol... I know I was one of the people against "grinding machine" and voiced out wen Emery was showing cracks of flopping.

He's(Emery) first 26 games he wasn't showing any real signs of flopping. Arteta tho improved our teams and mentality, but it's a shame he has to do with many under par and limited players unlike Wenger and Emery.

The only thing I'm not really happy with Arteta is the exclusion of ozil (whether it's his fault or not, I don't know, but I feel if he really needed ozil, the board can do nothing about it).

Now it's coming back to bite him. And if small teams just park the bus against us and hit us on a good counter, then I fear for us.

In fact, this season, I'll like to look into your mantra of " good defence with average midfield and attack will win you titles"

We've good defence, and a very average midfield and attack. I will watch and see how this first half of the season goes.

If we don't get an Am in January, then I'll watch and see how the full season goes with that mantra.

Deal??

I didn't say average midfield and attack. My point is if you have an option between defense and attack, choose defense. That what Arteta actually did. He chose a DM instead of an AM. Getting both is ideal for success but if you must choose one, choose the defensive.

By the way, never mention Wenger with Emery again, dem nor be mate.

It's now that I believe stronger that Wenger was a good manager. He actually worked with weaker squads than our recent managers yet maintained consistent performances until his last years.

Jodera:
The worst part is that we've all the time to include ozil into the team but we didn't.

What's really painful is that nobody is even creative or a goal getter in the team, unlike wen we have Sanchez and cazorla or Ramsey and Walcott.
The only creative person we have is saka, and the worst of it is that he's still developing. Only goal getter we've is auba, and if he doesn't have the needed space, it's over for us

The rest attackers is "So help me God".
Even tho ozil is declining, but it's a shame that even in his declining rate, no one can still create chances as he does(recent stats like assists stats might say otherwise, but I can see with my eyes), but ego would just allow them not to use him " for God knows why".

Granted he might go missing against the Liverpool and man city, but the Leicester of Sunday, I'm certain that he'll open up that defence especially as we've a good duration of ball possession.

I don't even know what this season will be for us cos the kind of limited players we have in that attack is too much.

Thank goodness we've gotten partey for the DM. What we need is an Am now, and to be sincere, 2 GOOD WINGERS.
We just need creative wingers, cos we wouldn't have been shouting for Am, Am like this if we have wingers in the mould of sane, mane, salah, mahrez et al.

Lacazette and Pepe na waste pipes. Willian is looking far from a shrewd signing. Auba should be played up top, cos he's killing that wing.


In fact, I've ranted and shalaye enough .

Au revouir for now!!!

No matter how many wingers we have we need an AM. Even in a drab 4-4-2 formation, one of the front two must be creative. It's that simple unless you just want to defend.

Jodera:
Lol... Premier league games only remember. At least by this time, emery wasn't in 10th position.
If Arteta continues like this, he might be worse than emery with less shots conceded

Hmmmmm

Seems you had a secret admiration for Emery...

One good thing Arteta has done is to strengthen our defense. The picture below tells an important story. Like the saying we have been making...

A good attack wins you matches, but a good defense wins you titles.

harizonal123:
Yes

Thanks bro.

To be more specific, I have 51e attached to 32e which is primary. Can 16e be added? It's on 60cm dish. I have tried but to no avail. So I need to know first if it can be done. Thanks.

Flier:
You shouldn’t get blindfolded by her antics,you should ask questions
How was she able to count them ? Where is the pic ? How come she couldn’t show AtleAst 5 during the live video? Where are the family and friend of of those killed ?
It’s very obvious she’s lying and this has caused billions in damages and hundreds of lives.She should be made to pay for what she did
Her lies made people to burn AtleAst 3 banks immediately,the next day burnt over 84BRT buses and several other cars and hundreds of buildings
If you add everything together(I mean the whole Nigeria) that fake news has cost us close to 1 trillion naira

First deal with the root causes- our thief politicians and corrupt police and military heads. Then come back and prosecute Switch.

BabaOwen:
All this can be achieved without violence bro. We can do it through the ballot box

Your first sentence can be accepted. The second never.

Biodun556:
You people should please take your fight to your village don't destroy Lagos

That lady is a criminal

She is a criminal because she is fighting for freedom in a rogue nation. You are a slave who doesn't know yet.

Biodun556:
Igbos and ipobs are the real enemies of this country, they should go and look for biafra in their village.

You are a tribalistic animal and your lots are the reason why Nigeria will never be good.

Biodun556:
She needs to be prosecuted

You silly nuts. Her efforts helped curbed the over reaction of the military and actually brought international attention to our situation.

Have you prosecuted Buhari whose bad governance has led to deaths of thousands? Have you prosecuted the SARS officers and their bosses that wasted innocent lives and carried extra judicial killings? Have you prosecuted the thief governors that hid palliative meant for the poor. Come and prosecute Switch make we see you. Scally wag.

Kekereekun123:
her massacre reports lead to carnage and destructions. Fake news can set a country on fire. International bodies that also carried the matter for head are asking for evidences of massacre. Massacre means brutal killing of a large number of people. Only 2 people have been confirmed dead.

So two lives don't matter. It is when thousands die that she will be vindicated? What if her actions actually helped prevent the massacre?

You foolish ones.

mostob:
One thing I admire most in Arteta is that he knows the kind of players he want and will go for them. Partey and Gabriel are perfect examples.
Watching Chelsea yesterday, should we call their signings 'money miss road' or their coach is clueless?

Lampard may be the type that works better with young players not established stars. He doesn't have that dominating attitude. He is not a championship winning coach. I stand to be corrected.

The way this season is going any small effort and consistency can win this league. I only regret why we didn't get an AM.

How can I attach 16e to 51.5e please?

Where to watch Europa league abeg

eph12:
Ask spy360 instead. He get firsthand info

Mod warn am o...

ManirBK:
Hello room. pls any free channel for today's champions league

It's you I am even hoping to pass the info... lol

kokaneprodigy:
You need an AM, you couldn’t get one during the transfers. You have one but clash of egos won’t let them feature him, but he still gets paid either way. Whenever you raise it they make it seem an Ozil fan thing.

Same way they came here during Emery yelling play only “yooooot” cos the senior players ain’t performing to expectation.

I just hope none of you manages any big business with lot of employees depending on your decisions cos you’ll just collapse it and render people jobless.

One thing I loved Wenger for is his man management. We hardly had such issues. Wenger will play him or sell him even if to his enemy. He sold RVP to United. They won the league but we earned the money.

Nna mehn see Aston Villa o

pazienza:
How did he play well? He had just 1 assist in ten games or so. That's hardly a 350k plus match bonuses allowance performance, and we never won away to big sides in those games.
So far this season, we have won our winnable games against smaller opponents without Ozil playing.
We might have won ugly, but it was still Wins.
Ozil has never been one to take a game by the scruff of the neck in away big matches and save the day.
I don't understand why many developed selective amnesia.
Ozil wouldn't have made any difference to yesterday result outcome. How did I know that?
Antecedents! He never made a difference in big away matches at Arsenal even at his peak.

It's not about Ozil. It's about getting an AM. Just that Ozil is the only AM we've got for now.

mostob:
We were chasing the ball most of the time yesterday ,our MF can't hold the ball at all. Also, let's be frank, Auba too performed badly yesterday. Is it due to his contract or what?

He deserved his new contract. But something made me feel he will freeze over. I was right.
