A club that isn't successful will have very few legend especially wen the environment is not set for him to thrive on.
Henry that we all shout that he is a legend, is really a legend cos the environment then was set for him to thrive then. When the weak mentality entered the team (post veira and bergkamp time), he flee from us and went to barca. He even shortchanged arsenal sef. You think if he came during the era of fabregas, he wouldn't have ran away from arsenal like fabregas?... Lol
Saying it's lame and insensitive is not fair on fabregas. Even as a fan, I knew how many times I was angry wen we know we needed a position filled just to become a title challenger and Wenger bottles it. And he repeats the cycle, year in year out. It's only someone unambitious and let's say a local boy(like wilshere) that will stay put. As long as you're not in this 2 categories and you're an elite footballer, it's a fact that you must run away from a club if you're not successful.
All fab says there is the truth and anybody that thinks otherwise then have blind love for Wenger.

Jodera:
It's not bullcrap...
It's the truth. Wenger really drained most ambitious players, and killed the winning mentality of the players

iamoyindamola:
Cesc revealed why he left in 2011, he was mentally, emotionally and physically drained he thought the club was going to invest and get better players to complement him.
Same reason every top players we had left, wengay was the culprit fvcking old stingy man.
I will never forgive that man

Fkhalifa:
And that's the problem,its not by fielding the big names but what works..
Remember France played Mbappe,Griezman and Dembele in their first game in the world cup, those 3 upfront looked dangerous on paper, but always struggle to break teams down, and the moment the Average Giroud was introduced, everything clicked..

Remember Spain hardly play David Villa and Torres.
For me, Sanchez,Rosciky,Nasri and Arshavin ahead of Auba on the wings.

Fkhalifa:
I rate V.persie ahead, and I can't play Auba on the wings, that's gon be drab football.

Fkhalifa:
Szceszny
Sagna. Toure. Kos. Clichy
Song
Fabregas. Carzola

Nasri/ Rosciky Sanchez
V.persie.

we have recorded more cases than ghana yet ghana have started disinfecting there public place.which types of leaders in this country blessed with?

Luizkid:
I stopped reading when you made claims about the virus being man-made, this is unfounded and you don't have facts so stick to the main aim of your thread calling for people to remember the needy amongst us... By the way, seems they're better of with little knowledge about the happenings in the globe. we're so informed right now it scares.

Jodera:
lol..
Yeah, with your 442. It's a perfect one.
The only issue I've with your set up is arshavin there, wen a certain A.Sanchez played for us.

Jodera:
What's this news I'm hearing about Hanta virus again??

Jodera:
Lol... Yeah.
His partnership with kos was stronger and better than kos- vermalaen.

Jodera:
Mine will be

Sczceszny

Sagna.... Merte.... Kosc... Monreal

Coquelin.. Cazorla

Van persie... Fabregas.... Sanchez

Aubameyang

Mehn, looking at our squad then, we really carried a lot of subpar and cut and join players o

Also, I know coquelin might be debatable, but what he did that sole season trumps what most 4 did during the duration. It's so sad Wenger head touch and he just switched him away from his best position.
Coq- Caz was really the best pairing we had at the base post 8-2 man u thrashing era

Adrian is the only one with error, our best defender in EPL was escorting morata

Jodera:
Adrian is part of the team, agreed, but he cost the team. There was no reason to hurriedly pass that ball....not like Liverpool was trailing sef.
Salah and Mane missed chances, they created chances and they tried their best. All was undone by just a stupid moment of Adrian. The attack was perfect, oblak was just too great. Yes they crossed, but that's what is expected wen it team parks d bus. But even at that, salah and chamberlain was still doing damages, in terms of breaking 18 and outside the ball shot. Everything was under control until Adrian happened

kokaneprodigy:
My own be say the midfield was their strength and any loss in shape them go chop am, they kept yapping VVD upandan and comparing him with a Mustafi that was regularly bombarded while playing behind a midfield partnership of Guen/Xhaka that would easily go down as the worst midfield partnership of all time.

Jodera:
the way you dey call this cross and nod as if that's only what they did. The Liverpool I watched ystdy did the perfect combination of all. Crosses, defence splitting passes, shots and all. The only person that fücked up ystdy was only Adrian at a critical moment. Before then, athletico was toothless and even their defensive masterclass wasn't so evident yesterday.

Roland17:
It does seem accurate. The official website of the premier league has the game postposed

Pep was once asked how he manages to get his players in the right frame for every match and I recall his reply saying he expects the team to play with the same intensity from start to finish regardless of the opposition as any player who flouts and starts show boating because they are winning a game will risk being dropped for the next game even if he is the so called star player.

The right attitude starts from the top down and a lot of credit has to go to Aterta for trying to bring the attitude back cos it is said that he always has harsh words in the dressing room at half time if the team is not performing repeatedly shouting at them to get their acts together. This has nothing to do with the opposition but rather the mentality of being a serial winner. Honestly I sincerely hope the board can back him in the summer and give him time and then we can assess .

Jencejyde:
I may have to disagree again that it's mere theory having played and experienced it. Nigeria and Ghana has always been war and still is till this present day on the pitch and yes egos and tensions are always high as it is when we play Cameroon as well.

At the end of it though, it all boils down to the dna of the club from top to bottom especially the personell that play in week in week out. If they feel passion for one game because it's a derby and feel nothing for another game or apply less intensity because the team is smaller then that speaks volumes of where we are headed and if truly we can compete to win laurels. Never have I had that attitude and God bless my team mates of then cos we always played every single game with the same intensity bar injuries . It's really a debate that could go on and on but I also respect your opinion and truly hope for all it's worth that this team can get back to where it used to be with the right attitude from top to bottom

Fkhalifa:
When I read a fan say Sanchez was only forming activity, I just jejely stay away.

#unpopular opinion#,
We haven't looked like a UCL team since Sanchez left and we haven't replaced him.

Jencejyde:
I may have to disagree with the bolded. In some terms , yes we have more passion playing against spurs being a local derby but why should we drop the same enthusiasm against Burnley? A team that wants to win does not disrespect any opponent. The same desire we need to beat Spurs should be the same desire we need to beat Burnley albeit being a smaller team with no disrespect to them. The fear factor has to return such that teams must already feel they have lost even before playing the game. I don't think a top player needs to find inner strength to play a lesser team. It must be an ethic to always play to win and annihilate the opponent each and every time you step unto that field.

It shows the character of the present team we have if they always need the manager to spark words at half time before they realize they are playing a game which they need to win.

Hopefully our scouting team can start looking at not just skills but character before bringing players to the club. Martinelli and Alexis are great examples of players who always have the drive in every single match regardless of the opponent to thrive and you can hardly lose games or not win trophies when you have 5 or 6 characters in your starting line-up like that going full throttle every game until the end of the season.

Lol... After you don call me small pikin finish.
No p bro...

Jodera:
Actually, wen I called KANU weakling was that he wasn't a starter. I mean, throughout the league I'm not sure his starting appearances reached 10 sef for league. Total appearances that season was 30 for KANU(including Carling, fa, and league). How then is he a regular in arsenal team. A team featuring Henry, Pires, Bergkamp, Ljumberg and Wiltord in attack. Where him wan dey start?
