Roland17:
Arteta needs to raise his hand for this one.

His inexperience is top notch. But he is a good coach. He needs to consider players recovery period. Aubameyang's missed goal was due to fatigue. Had he been on for just the second half, he'd been fresh enough to gather the composure to finish it. Fatigue!

The night is long
Winter has come

...just taking the positives
So I can sleep tonight
...at least.

One could clearly see the boys were tired. Good management means good use of resources. Those who have not been playing like Torriera could have started, poor squad rotation by Arteta.

purpleprincess:
Yes Nigeria is that bad! What do you expect him to achieve playing for Nigeria? He has a better chance at winning international awards and laurels playing for England even if he doesn’t win any trophy with England. Atleast England can take him as far as semifinal of the euros and World Cup. Nigeria will hold him back, that’s the simple truth.

He will be used for friendlies but will never go for competitions. It's his choice really, local champion is not a bad thing. Abi?

BlueRayDick:
U mention one african player that stayed in the limelight for so long but was dropped by cause of his black skin

I already told u the reason why the players don't get to play for the NT on a long term basis; it's simply because they fizzle out along the line and sometimes they even become non-starters in their club.

U mentioned chilwell earlier, if tomorrow Leicester gets a record signing left back and Chilwell is relegated to the bench, do u think England will call him like u are claiming?

So then can you advise Bucks to play of England considering that no African has succeeded with them?

Arrewa:
the reason why some women keep showing big asses is because that's the only thing to attract audience since their are not facially beautiful...

You don't have to show your ass to show your ass to tell the world you're beautiful...

Modesty is about beauty... Not by raising nyash up to attract some sex freaks...

This one is true.

Arrewa:
Hausafulani!!

So na all these fine babes be suicide bombers

What a waste...

Which FTA Sat has more balance with
1. Local news channel
2. Foreign news channel
3. Local movies and series
4. Foreign movies
5. Music (esp naija)
6. Sports (highlights, live, recorded)

Or combination of Sats

BlueRayDick:
This is mere fallacy jare

Chilwell was called to the national team in september 2018, between that period and now they have played 15 matches while Chilwell has only featured in 11 of those. If things were to be the way you put it, then maybe he should've started all 15 matches na.

Mention one, just one England player with an African name that had a long career in the NT and I will concede.

BlueRayDick:
That is because those players don't stay at the top level for that long. No serious national team will guarantee a player(Irrespective of his form) permanent spot in the team even when he dips in form. At least not England that has enough talents being discovered yearly.

Let an blackman stay on the top scene for long at the club level and let's see if he won't keep his place in the team. Most people only think opting for African teams will be the best because we kind of celebrate mediocrity and enjoy living on past glory in this part of the world

There are guys in the England NT that still play despite dropping form. Eg Chiwell but because he isn't adopted, he can play on.

I am not saying they are racist, but if you're gonna play for England for long, you either change your African name from Bukayo to Bucks. Lol

Also blacks have their problems and so do whites.

Kbs468:

Now as a football fan, where do you think Arsenal's SAKA should belong? Nigeria or England?

Because rumor has it that he could be drafted into England Euro 2020 squad

What are the prospects? That's the fundamental question. England are very segregative when it comes to choosing adopted Africans into having long careers in their NT. They may colonise the player by giving him a 'debut' but I am yet to see or think of a black with an African name doing it long term for England.

Jodera:
Auba is our best player, but I feel saka deserves it under the month of review. Saka has 3 assist to his name, auba has 3 goals to his name... Both assist and goals were both influential. I feel saka could Nick this!

Under the month of review Aubameyang should win it. In fact it's Auba's superior positioning that makes Saka thrive this much not to talk of his goals. I

Even though I would vote Saka because he is so young and promising I know Aubameyang merits it.

Lanceosas:
yes update on ayv sport

Sat pls.

Kbs468:
Saka challenges Aubameyang for Arsenal Player of the Month award

Auba has been terrific for us recently. He has shown outstanding leadership both on and off the pitch. His contributions to our current form both on the attacking and defensive sides are quite remarkable. I hope Saka gets to keep this one but Auba he is our best player.

Why would Nketiah be starting ahead of Lacazette. Dude did not even see sub, despite helping to beat Newcastle last time out coming from the bench.

He used his mouth to cancel his victory when he said this...

And God asked Fury to lick his blood.

After the match, Fury said Í thank Jesus for saving me, no power formed against me shall prosper.

Is UCL on fta?

PROPHETmichael:
congrats Furry

OK. You edited your post prophet

kokanepyramid:
for the records if you think it i won't be surprise

So you accept you are more silly than I am?

kokanepyramid:
Van Dijk enjoys a stable midfield, if maguire had gone to Man-U they would have been calling him A-class

Comparing Mustafi to VVD only makes him a laughing stock, like when i compare Guendouzi to De Bryune. i can't even think of thinking it.

Dreamswayne:
Mustafi has always been good... It's his errors that spoils his game...

I totally concur. His errors which are usually amateurish spoils all his good work. Hope Arteta has improved that aspect of his game.

mostob:
am glad u got the joke. Mustafi has really improve especially his aggressiveness and timed header....his long passes have also being spot on lately.

Take am easy before the real Mustafi shows up...

sod09:
These guys are seeing Arteta has their senior brother, everyone seems to be happy around him even those on bench. Glad he sort out his issues with Jerry curl, one big family even ozil is hustling.
Everyone is trying even when they were tired

That's the first sign of good managers. They bring unity. There is a remarkable team spirit in the camp. Even Xhaka seems happy without the arm band. No one is jealous. Same praise goes to skipper Aubameyang. Such a good leader.

Roland17:
To imagine Auba is still scoring despite being shunted to the wings to accommodate other players in the CF position.

Saka's movements allows Aubameyang to drift inwards forming a two man CF with Nketiah. This drifting creates confusion for opposition defenders and allows Aubameyang lots of space to makes runs in between the fullback and the CB. Seems Aubameyang loves it too.

Roland17:
I was about saying the same thing about bringing in Torreira. I would take Xhaka off and pair Ceballos with Torreira.

Xhaka does excellent cover work for Saka when he forays forward. It's hard.

It's obvious that midfield needs Torriera, but we can't take off Ceballos. Dilemma.

It's like are becoming over reliant on Aubameyang for goals and Saka for assists.

Well...

BlueRayDick:
Bros we are not getting anywhere with this discuss, let's call it a day abeg.

OK.
In conclusion; as a self sustaining club the right model for success is acquiring young talents and grooming them while adding one or two quality signings as seen in the current set up and also in clubs like Barcelona, Ajax and RB Leipzig.

How has our defence improved under Arteta?

BlueRayDick:
Ajax has not won anything tangible aside their league in recent times. Even the players they groomed in the last few years have been sold and they couldn't even qualify from.group stage of the champions league this season. Is that what u wish for arsenal? A repeat of Wenger days between 2006-2013...smh

RBL has not even been that successful.

Barcelona spends money alongside growing talents. Griezman, Dembele, Neymar, Suarez etc were all signed for good money.

I still maintain any serious club in the EPL will be foolish to rely solely on "paying next to nothing for young players" grooming them them and hoping to win something tangible.

If we can achieve what Ajax has done since you and I started watching football we would be happier fans today. Ajax are actually restricted by their weak league, the same model would have made them a power house of European football had they been in England, Spain or Germany.

RBL's little success so far is already phenomenal. They are no Leicester (one time wonder). Go and do your research, they are actually building a football dynasty and that from scratch even makes it more wonderful.

Barcelona, the less said the better. Barcelona can sign those mentioned players and make them look exceptional because of the model in their approach. They have a system of building young talents and then fortify themselves with quality signings which actually makes them even much better. Barca do not just spend, they go for quality. When they sign, they compete with PSG aand Mancity for the best because they attract quality through their success and team play. They have no major sponsors, yet they succeed because of their player acquisition model. The likes of Messi, Iniesta, Busquet etc tell the whole story. Please refer to the first sentence of this paragraph.
