Typical of Arteta’s fanbase to turn to insults when they can’t defend their failures. You won’t need to turn to insult if there is something to defend. Instead, all you have is excuses upon excuses then insult when we tell you guys your excuses are now stale.

Again, the bold still reveals your level of delusion. Chelsea winning the club world cup and doing it against the champions league winner shows its a team that compete to win and doesn’t give excuses. Winning the Europa league and Conference league is a confirmation of that too. We can’t say the same for our “trust the process” merchant. Like I have always said, a club can’t be trophyless for many seasons and claim one trophy is beneath them. It’s a serious lack of self awareness and pure delusion.

Every complain about Arteta isn’t about last season but 5 seasons of wasted opportunities and unwarranted gaslighting by his cult, because you make it sound as if Arsenal hasn’t been supporting Arteta with signings for the past 5 years. The ones he’s been getting, what has he done with them? Liverpool signed only one player last summer and went on to win the league. So what’s Arteta’s excuse after 5 years of numerous signings?

While we were trusting the process, Xavi and Hansi won the league with Barcelona, Alonso with Leverkusen, Kompany and Tuchel with Bayern, Arne Slot with Liverpool, Spalleti and Conte with Napoli. The likes of Ange and Maresca took advantage of the European competition and won too. But our own club will have to wait for 10 years.

On the last bolded, you will still be the one to come up with more creative excuses when things go sour again (I pray it doesn’t because we need a major trophy and not excuses). Maybe this time it’s going to be because emirate stadium is too small.

How far?

Your eye don clear that I was right?

Titles are not just won on the pitch and training ground. They are also won in the board room.

See how Many City board is backing Pep this season for a title challenge despite going 7 points below Arteta.

They have spent close to 100m pounds getting top players in Semenyo and Guehi.

Last season I said that the reason Arteta failed to win the title is because of lack of support from the board following injuries to G Jesus and others.

We can call Arteta all sort of names and accuse him of many errors in judgement. But without the support of the board no manager can push for titles. Pep is the best manager because he has support including that of his board.

MSGAMBLE9:
Amorin might have gotten us across the line being a serial winner from where he's coming from... If Slot can do it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This one wey we dey Noah boats for half a decade with nothing to show, one would have atleast think MA for don get small sense but no he prefers dead rubber to 9 points lead...

Apari juju strong sha... The half-baked always win the mid season title 🤣🤣🤣🤣....

With inverted wingbacks and no plan B tactics? 😂

iamoyindamola:
Toward end of the season a good manager should have backup plan b tactics to see off the season because by the second leg, opponents must have figure out the game plan of the first leg.
No be our coach, anywhere belle face and Insha Allah with corner kicks.
Last 2 epl games 0 goal

Issokay

You are right.

I believe Arteta is working on something.

Have you noticed that Timber is now inverted from LB

mostob:
Bro... I've said it here many times. Eze shouldn't be competing with Ode. Eze will be more effective playing from LW. He looks lost in the middle.

I don't know what you're really driving at but if it is somewhat related to defending Odegaard, I disagree. That our skippo is too weak. He needs to sit out for some time. Even if na Rogers, I won't mind.

Was Eze playing LW when we saw him at Crystal Palace?

You think it's easy being the main creator for a title winning team that is always aiming at winning all their matches?

Bros, Odegaard is the best no 10 in the PL. The only other arguable person is Bruno Fernandez. So leave talk.

FYI, Real Madrid president has said he must get Ode back to Madrid as a lifetime achievement.

Odegaard brings control to a midfield. He has also made the highest no of defense splitting passes so far this season.

You are only feeling how you're feeling because of the green grass at the other fence syndrome.

MSGAMBLE9:
If this perennial bottler was at United, your Saviour would have been long gone 🤣🤣🤣🤣.....

Shoes get sizes 🤣🤣 🤣...

What if Amorim was at Arsenal, I guess you would be singing his praises right?

My serial bottler will win the league, your saviour has been sacked already

MSGAMBLE9:
E go be 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.....

As you forgot that you said we should have signed Amorim when he went to Man United?

germaphobe:
we went from 2 points gap to 7 points gap even though it could have been 11 points in the space of three weeks. So I am taking the positives and waiting to see how our final third output will change moving forward.

Exactly.

Jokes apart, how many of us would have been happy if at the beginning of the season you were told we would be seven points ahead of second place City by mid January?

Let's take the positives and move on

mostob:
We're all expectant the guy would change our games and improve us. Shoot? No cross? Iro ni.
Make dem collect armband from him biko.

Berta should do something. Even if na one low budget midfielder from EPL bottom team, I no go mind.

Someone like Eberechi Eze?

E easy to talk. Make Eze first bench Odegaard before you expect another low budget midfielder

mostob:
He should go and find that morale on the bench please. We don't have time for this nonsense wey he dey do.

That tolotolo guy with armband dey vex me. Make dem dey bully captain off the ball. Baba go carry ball unchallenged from Ikorodu to Island con still carry am back to Ikorodu just to give a 2cm pass. He'll now adjust his hair and armband and jog on.

Dear Berta, I no go mind Musiala biko. Make my eyes no peel off

😂

Trossard for Martinelli

Islam have just one aim,To dominate
That’s why the Northern Muslims are Obsessed about “Igbo Muslims”,they want igbo Muslims by all means so they can penetrate igbo land then they will claim they are majority in the South

Any Igbo that is a Muslim does not know his Chi.

Perhaps his Chi has abandoned him. He is now an empty vessel.

raumdeuter:
The left is a party of insanity

If you cannot answer this very simple question, why should we trust your opinion on complex matters like economy, immigration, public safety etc

Na only America matter you dey make sense. When e reach Nigeria, you go wear your Agbado thinking cap

BlueRayDick:
I know say Jesus go disvrigin that guy for there 😂

Jesus gets more joy, cutting down players than scoring goals

He is passionately telling Abia state people that Alex Otti is not working. 😂

Semenyo enjoying life in a top club. Seamless transition

Meanwhile, someone here threatened Arteta with Amorim. I can't really say who. That person needs to own up and make an apology

germaphobe:
KING KAI is back!!. See movement in the box, outside the box. That pass to Madueke to force the corner was madt!!!. still got into better positions INSIDE THE BOX to get two shots which were unfortunately blocked. Man!!!.
Ps: Eze can never bench odegaard. At least not with the kind performance I have been seeing lately.

I do not even know where the very idea came from.

Roland17:
I am able to the watch full replays of almost all European games including the EPL and even in full motion, the chance was obvious.

It is the reason I can tell you what happened afterwards.

Infact, we won the possession because Liverpool tried to build from the back and that made the space and opening even more obvious and available longer

Liverpool won a FK after Timber fouled Gakpo near Liverpool’s box. Liverpool tried to build from the back to restart the game with VVD passing to Wirtz, Wirtz tried to break our press with a pass to Szobo but Gabu intercepted the pass and the ball ended up with Zubi. Zubi had all the time and angle to see Gyokores, the space was available even in full motion and his vision saw Gykores. But, Zubi made the safest pass and it was to Saka..

Simple.

Nwanne I am not denying that it was a good chance that was missed.

But I cannot accept the idea that VG not scoring for so many games is as a result of players not passing to him.

BlueRayDick:
Loserpool didn't have a shot on Target in yesterday's game which means defense was actually not the problem but our inability to score. Aside from that ball that hit the bar, we never really had any serious goal scare in that match.

We really need our attackers to bring out magic for us to score goals in such games o, the defence are already doing their own part.

Attack win games

iamoyindamola:
Gyokeres was free and no pass was given

Na for still picture he dey free? What of motion picture?

Roland17:
I don’t want to get into the specifics of tactics, because we knew this was the play in the build up to match day. We knew they were going to be without Ekitieke with Isaac and Salah unavailable.

So let’s take the point and move on .

That's it.

I think we lost because we were too excited.

Games like this you should be more of cerebral work and not emotions. We could have seen off this game as a normal game not as an opportunity for revenge or go 8 points clear.

daveP:
Lol. Feel free. But a partey would have done way better than zubi for this game. That's that!

Let's dive to City to review when 9s are having less touches(this is not to absolve Gyo. He was a ghost tonight)

But when Haaland has few touches in a 1st half, pep changes that by ensuring his midfielders see spaces to shoot from outside. This drags away attention from his 9 that is already working to take one touch to net. One touch.

What we do is

We recycle over and over and that reduces the chances of any 9 from touching the ball UNLESS he drops deep to touch. With how we do all available 9s from Kai to whoever will drop deep. GJ will be deep already and the 9 zone is empty but he will barely get space to shoot still plus anything aerial duel is already a minus vs Dijk and konate. So what does a manager do to tweak such stalemate? Allow such continue?

Why didn't Pep do all these when City drew 0-0 against ordinary Sunderland?

Opata yarns 😂

BlueRayDick:
Which reins would Partey take?

This match clearly lacked goals and that's why we didn't win. All this cappings about Partey in match day 20 is just Nostalgia doing a number on you.

We've played matches tougher than this Loserpool match this season and we won with Same Zubi doing his midfield job. You no call Partey that time. Even matches we would normally lose when Partey was still here, we won with same Zubi o.

If the attackers had scored, you won't be forcing nonexistent blame on Zubi.

In this match Gyokeres didn't have up to 10 touches. Martinelli played rubbish, Odegaard kept running around circles and the other wingers/attackers were poor, I don't see you blaming them for the draw. It is Zubi that kept reviving ball from defenders and recycling the ball is whom u want to blame? As how now? 🤷‍♂️

That man/boy no know ball

His opinions on this thread are really annoying me 😂

MSGAMBLE9:
For me it's not about the approach, we saw the first half and the chances created, cut back and all with Gyokeres always not in position to even make attempts to attack the ball.... A half descent striker would have make use of Saka cut backs in first half, he's not the one we have been looking for.... He's always behind defenders like he's hiding

Am off Gyokeres hype train, he doesn't win either ground or air duel falling unnecessarily hoping for whistle even Jesus did more when he came on... MLS looks rusty like a disaster waiting to happen

A very bad and uninspiring performance and Result....

By this time last season you were telling for a striker

By this time last season would you have referred to Gyokeres as less than a half decent striker?

Arsenal fans make too much noise and it affects even the manager's decisions.

I said here, that Arteta does not do strikers. We would have even been better of with a Sesko, but behold we must sign striker.

Now you have your striker and you're still complaining. Calling him half decent.

Roland17:
Liverpool’s midfield performed better than ours

They simple outnumbered ours. They didn't have a CF

daveP:
Zubi was poor this 2nd half. Liverpool enjoyed that control because of how he played in this very game, vs Liverpool again. Feel free to disagree pls. But partey would have taken the reins off that nonsense control Liverpool had. Admit it

You no know ball
Sharrrap

BlueRayDick:
How can anybody watch this match and blame Arteta again?

Shey he didn't start the players he ought to start ni? Abi he didn't do the right subs?

Anybody who thinks Arteta should be blamed should please tell us what they would do differently with this same crop of players available for selection.

Make all of us learn coaching from Una wey be shifu of coaching o

Insatiable bowl of pissful fans

The players failed to turn up but they blame their favourite enemy because he wasn't the on ethey wanted at first.

BlueRayDick:
Partey control kor, Partey remote ni.

Zubimendi has been a clear upgrade from Partey since this season start.

Partey control won't win this game. If our attackers and wingers don't get the ball in the net, we won't win the game whether it's Partey playing or another player.

The major reason we didn't win this game was simply because our players upfront which includes Saka, Odegaard, Madueke, Martinelli and Trossard were caressing the ball in the final third when they should either be shooting or forcing a corner out of our chances. We had absolute control of the first half and didn't do anything with it.

So blaming Zubimendi for the second half when Loserpool controlled the tempo of the match is unfair and reeks of Ur bias for Partey. Nothing more.

Absolutely spot on

raumdeuter:
He has just one vote but influence to bring thousands of votes

Man pass man no be by muscle

But Peter Obi won Rivers. So how did Wike deliver Rivers for Tinubu?

You dey ment 🤣

raumdeuter:
Has Fubara ever delivered any election in his life? Why gamble on a crucial election n someone who hasn't proven anything. Wike does not need FG support to deliver Rivers to APC, he has done it before. So FG can focus on other states that need it

How do you deliver an election when all you have is one vote?

Wike is an election rigger, which explains why Tinubu never won that election in 2023.

They are all mandate thieves 😂

I blamed the board for our inability to close a season with the title.

It was obvious that our problem wasn't coaching. Arteta is a phenomenal manager.

What we lacked for the past three seasons we came second has been depth as I rightly predicted.

The board has redeemed themselves.
