.... Your head is there Baba. Guendouzi changed his game as soon as we went into a back three, he was connecting the midfield well once Torreira took his former position and Willock went forward. Still, it's nice to know we can depend on the youngsters in Midfield to do the job.

.... ....No more excuses of not having world class players again for Ozil and Emery will have an excuse when the backlash comes from benching Ozil. Nevertheless, I hope his head is alright because of the recent happenings as Kolasinac's played his usual game today.

Who else was looking for this picture today

Before u read note that I ain’t picking on anyone.

I want to ask. With the slow pace of our game particularly the midfield don’t u think Liverpool will outrun us?

Also I’m not particularly impressed with the vision of some of our midfielders, most often than not the opponent easily predict their passes. Also they hardly pick out players running into open space.

Just my observation. Cos yes we won but it’s a game we could have lost too or shared points with Burnley. I’m glad we got away with our shortcomings but we have to note we can’t get lucky week in week out.

solomonbrown64:
..... @Spy360..... It's like you finally got your Hybrid 8 and 10 with better technical abilities in Ceballos

solomonbrown64:
... Guendouzi likes to hold the ball and recycle possession.. He didn't do much today but defended more but Willock prefers to run with the ball rather. There's no technique yet in his play and he needs to learn that. You don't run all the time, simple passes can save a lot of energy but he is learning. You could see the difference in play when Torreira came to do his work, holding the ball and doing simple passes while Willock went up there.

.... The midfield was moving and it was dynamic. Xhaka holds the ball and distributes better but that mobility that was characteristic of the three midfielders today. The quick turning with the ball is what we lack when Xhaka starts but he is a better passer of the ball.

solomonbrown64:
..... I believe that's the difference between him and Guendouzi but I think he is runner and a destroyer hybrid.. He will get better.

That huge dish size of dstv can point to any satellite coverage zone in the world or Europe.

solomonbrown64:
..... Chambers was solid against a very poor Newcastle side and we also struggled to move the ball from the back because of the two centre backs who couldn't especially Chambers. Luiz is a better and far more experienced defender than Chambers and he is one of the best center backs in the league when it comes to playing from the back. The coach is after results and not spoiling any one's game. Even Chambers himself knows Luiz is the better defender. ( read his recent quotes about him.)

.... Moreover, Chambers won Fulham's player of the season playing in midfield, he didn't do well in defense. It was Newcastle bro, let's not get carried away here.

... Ozil might start, it's not a sure thing. He only just returned to training. I think people just overkill Mkhi on this thread, he actually created lots of chances against Newcastle just that his final ball was always over hit. He will get it right, he is close. I see him starting. Ozil is better at creating chances, yes; but right now, it's who is ready and not who is better. Mhki is ready, not sure about Ozil at this point.

davodyguy:
@ the highlighted, great that you clarified.

What we are talking about has something to do with the satellite DSTV gets the contents from.
Yes we all agree that content provider is IMG. IMG then pacakges these contents into several channels (majorly on days of same kick off at various centres) and transmit them to DSTV through 'feeds'

But we in Nigeria are not sure of the satellite through which DSTV gets these contents.

For the German league, Sportec Solutions does what IMG is doing in England.
From their site i copied this


As for the bundesliga, I'm not sure they are well secured as that of the EPL. They are using 8 degrees west to 'feed' startimes who them encode and send to us on DTH and DTT. Startimes broadcast bundesliga English and French to all Sub-Saharan Africa comprising South Africa, West Africa and East Africa. beIN Sports Arabia controls MENA


It's good we have this kind of discourse once in a while, after all its part of Satellite TV

cheers

solomonbrown64:
..... Xhaka is injured, a slight keg bruise but he will be assessed to see if he can start. He is extremely crucial to how we play and shouldn't be risked for the forthcoming games. I hope Guendouzi and Willock and Mhki will be ready to take the Midfield in his absence but I won't be surprised if Ceballos and Torreira starts ahead of the two up there. I don't Pepe will start but if Emery feels he is ready then he will.

... LINE-UP - Leno - AMN - Sokratis - Luiz - Monreal - Xhaka/Guendouzi - Guendouzi/Torreira- Ceballos/ Mhki - Lacazette - Auba - Pepe/Mhki..... We might have Ozil and Kolasinac on the bench this time.

... We have to win this game. Winning against lower oppositions is massive to securing top four this season.

ben1daEbiri:
First of all,let me clear the air.
I'M PROMOTING DSTV or neither are my a DSTV agent

I can't verify your claims for others but for that of EPL,DSTV doesn't broadcast it using a FEED.
Before these events grace our screens,it must pass through a "stream" or several streams.
For everywhere in the world where the EPL is broadcasted in English, there's a dedicated channel that markets these "contents" including all of its programs [Football today,fanzone,preview and review,netbusters and all the rest)
During live matches,the same camera that records these events live in the stadium are the same views you see on your TV as long as you're elsewhere [Not in the UK] excluding Sky and BT. Commentary and Studio analysis MAY vary but content is the same — of course there are renderings made to enhance picture and audio,noise cancellation and all that which is done by the technical team of the content holder;data is transmitted and encrypted at the same time. Do you know why that funny looking alphabet combination appears on your screen while a live match is on? It's different for several providers but appears at the same time,this keys vary too.
If you have an orange tree and supply oranges to several people, you must not tell them what to do with it,one can directly resell in the market while the other makes juice with it.
You should check again what a FEED means.
Again,I'm not a DSTV agent!!!

BlueRayDick:
I don't even understand how you guys do it seriously. You sit down and ruminate so.much on the negatives, in fact u already conclude we will lose the match based on one or two permutations, and u still go ahead to watch the match

How do you guys do that? I mean u already expect Xhaka to lose the ball, u expect Maitland Niles to get run over, u expect ozil not to live up to billing (if he plays) and then u watch the match. I mean even fans of Charlton Athletic will hope their team give stunning performance when they meet superior opponents.

Kai! Even when we play teams like barca with superior players I don't watch match with defeatist mindset, make Una dey try get behind the team na. Even when loserpool was in the wilderness I know seizable number of their fans who never relented. Even when we were walloping them in them Julio baptista days, dem still dey get morale pass all the things I dey read here o

now u are believing Spy369 that thinks I like to troll my own.

solomonbrown64:
..... Still not a fan of Lacazette but I understand he is a different kind of forward similar to what Giroud brings to the table but now we have that balance that Wenger wanted to create before Van Persie took off. A back to goal forward that controls the ball and brings other people to the play and another who is a deadly, pacy finisher.

solomonbrown64:
..... Lol, those ones are generational talents. Rodgers made Sterling good but Guardiola made him better. Coaches work on players but it doesn't mean that they don't learn one or two things from other players. Abi you never hear players say so and so be their role models. I remember Wilshere saying he watches a lot of Pirlo videos. Wasn't Wenger his coach then but there was something he wanted to master and Wenger couldn't give him that.

.... Coaches like Klopp, Wenger and Guardiola are rare because they work on players and make them better. Others are very good managers and better tacticians and I think Emery falls into that category. But still, major developments in players is due to the coach but players pick one or two things from better players in their positions too.

sod09:
why you suprise I thought the way you lots hype him he's the best midfielder we ever had

solomonbrown64:
.... , them wan kill am with pressure yesterday and Chambers didn't really help with his style of play that allows the ball to move forward before he does something with it. It's completely annoying and he ends up rushing his decisions. Luiz will keep the ball at his feet and launch defense splitting balls straight from his end.

Fkhalifa:
Maybe they want him to be a /Fab/Modric/pirlo over night...They talk of Mbappe and de light, how many of them teens do you see around, the top players in football world now are in their mid 20s or early 30s..
Shearer is one of the biggest football personnel in England, when he talks, you listen and learn and not a doughnut seller from Ghana on Instagram.

solomonbrown64:
....... Most goals for Arsenal after 50 League games: Wright - 35, Aubameyang - 33, Henry 30 ...... Here was I calling Auba out for not being clinical, Baba I am sorry. You are a legend already, all you need is trophies.

Pataki ipopalomo sod09 spy360 Fkhalifa Na here Sallah meat dey ooo

patrickmuf:
It's a normal ritual here, before the season proper starts, you see a lot of Arsenal fans on here but when you get to the business end of things, you only find Roland, Fkhalifa, the Solomon guy, kokane, spy360 and sod here. The thread becomes completely deserted, a place more quiet than ghost town.

MrDojo:
Since Ozil and Kola won't play tomorrow, Montreal and Wilock will step in for them. I've a sneaky feeling we won't see Pepe, Cabellos and Luiz in the starting 11.

--------------------Auba----------------

Nelson --------Wilock----------Miki

----------Guen-----------Xhaka----------

Monreal-----Papa-------Chambers-----AMN

--------------------Leno------------------

This might be outline up tomorrow.

(If Laca is fit, then he will replace Nelson or Miki, but my money is on Nelson.)

P.s. I don't want to see this lineup against Newcastle. Mahrez played today, Mane yesterday. So there is absolutely no reason for Unai not to play our big guns. He better not start nonsense with the first game, because the 3 & 4 game will be very difficult.

diggz:
You still carry this mumurity enter 2019? When you go learn aturu poyoyo spy?

Marcelini:
Good money true, but only if it were reinvested on an upgrade left winger to provide take ons and create chances against bus parking teams like Iwobi did, though not at top level. Bad move if money is just to balance account books for other already bought players , as its beginning to look like.

AAA593:
He can reject it. Why will arsenal do this to iwobi? He never saw this coming

Roland17:
Good luck to E. Nketiah as he joins Leeds on loan for the season.
