BlueRayDick:
@ Solomonbrown This is exactly what I was trying to to make u see all day.

Playing 3 midfielders who are not natural creative midfielders against man utd is something mourinho would not do sef. At least ceballos or ozil should be infused into the team to supply Auba or any of the front 3. The shouldn't be feeding on scrap.

This article is apt and clearly describes the problem with the team.

His "safety- first" approach against a united team that was there for the taking.

I guess no one on this thread approves of Emery's defensive approach. What Solo us saying is that he can't be sacked now by any board, because he is 3rd not 13th.

iamoyindamola:
dumbass it's "an" not and
Professor!!!

I know that if I tell you it was a typographical error, you would not even understand and worse still you will use 'typographical error' to defend your stupid write-ups.

Some mumu even dey mention grinding machine.

BlueRayDick:
There was nowhere I insinuated Niles being red carded was on emery. You are trying to quote me out of context.

Arsenal should not be grinding out result against a newly promoted Aston Villa at home, even to the extent of getting red carded.

The point up there is clear enough. Arsenal shouldn't be so poor to the extent of committing needless fouls and having a player sent off against Aston Villa. At least not when we have superior fire power. We all accept we are not always at our best defensively so it is only wise we go all in with our area of strength(attack): score goals early and not be recycling possession.

The so called "Grinding out result" that you so much celebrate Emery for is only due to his wrong team selection and conservative approach when he should be firing on all cylinders. I ask you, of what use is fielding Auba, Pepe and laca/Saka upfront when you will only play 3 DM's behind them ? Does it make any sense ? Even the shitty manure utd that knew how deadly our attackers can be still set up their team to attack us rather than wait cowardly for us to take the game to them.

You may keep coming up with excuses upon excuses as to why we have a team without pattern playing drab football, struggling against teams in the second part of the table and being forced to defend against watford that has never won this season, but the fact remains Emery is busy doing nothing to improve the lot of this team.

For 4ck sake ! Watford has only scored 4 goals this season and two of those were agsinst Arsenal. How do u people sleep with stats like this staring u in the face and u still say we are happy we grind out a point from this game .

You obviously don't know what the term ''grinding out result'' means. That's exactly the problem with this thread. Someone uses and expression, people won't first try to understand it but start spilling rubbish. Mtchew!

BlueRayDick:
Are u for real?

Wait why do u think we struggled against Bournemouth?

Indulge me please.

Please I will like you to focus on the point of argument.
It's a comparison between Frankfurt and B'Mouth which was more difficult to beat. The fact that BM is PL compounds everything.

Fkhalifa made a valid point when he said Spurs knocked out Man City from CL.
City would have probably preferred a non PL side. It's that simple.

Fkhalifa:
I watch nearly all our games and you don't, my not wanting to meet an English side in Europe is not because we are shitty or low in mentality, rather as a result of high competition in the league atm
4 English sides reaching finals in Europe is a testament..

City got eliminated 2ce from UCL by Liverpool & Spurs, do you think Pep will like to face an English side in knockout stage?

None of our rivals could also wants to play us,

Yes I said we could have trashed Frankfurt instead of a Chelsea,I'm sure Chelsea also prefer Valencia to us.

Bros some people don't have practical sense. With faulty education everything becomes theoretical.

Personally I'd rather face a non English side in a European final. For some others it may be different.

We trashed Frankfurt 0-3 away with kids, but struggle to beat Bournemouth at home. It's common sense really to know that familiarity makes things more difficult. But then common sense is not really common.

kodded:
no matter how shitty man city might look, unai emery will still play 3 CDM, and will allow man city to finish us with shot

We must understand something.

The reason Ferguson won so many PL titles was not because his teams always play well but because they could grind out results. That's the problem with this Pep team. You can't always play good football, sometimes you play badly and sometimes the good play won't work. You could win 8-0 today and lose 0-1 tomorrow. It's the ability to grind out results when the bad day comes that makes you win consistently.

Today as against Man Utd we played badly, but you can't take away the fact that we got a point at Old Trafford and three points yesterday which has actually moved us to 3rd a point behind Pep's Man City.

At this rate despite how bad Emery is as a coach, you can't sack him. He hasn't even fielded his best squad yet, so his argument remains valid.

I don't like Emery one bit, but for now I can't fault him, and as a fan I can only wish him the best.

I am not among the silly lots that take things sentimentally, I am a facts person, a scientist to the core.

Only fools argue with sentiments.

iPopAlomo:
Bro... The only reason we dey at least see draw is cos of Guen... Xhaka alone is a disaster.

Now this is the midfield koko, Guendouzi puts in a MOTM performance but is still blamed just because he was playing along side a disastrous Xhaka. Nawa for thinking.

I wish Shitty would be this shitt whenever we meet them. Home loss.

ORIJIN201:
and I, the silent one.

Yeah you and Keky.

Fkhalifa:
Emery's Arsenal side are sitting comfortable in 3rd position.

Has gone unbeaten after the last international break, only lost a game and that's away to the European champions, no thanks to David luiz for his give away that night, even though he redeemed himself today.

Yes you surely do have a point because one cannot fault the result until he loses.

But, we aren't seeing our best team out there. Is he resting players or what? What is his policy for player selection? Because obviously it is not about performance. He needs to communicate his intentions so that we would not assume he is stupid.

My boy Guendouzi balling again. Could easily be MOTM.

ndidibabe:
But I read that Arsenal has the best transfer window in England. What is happening?

Not the best but the most efficient I think.

Nna mehn, Wolves leading City at Etihad...

Real Madrid vs. Granada on New Day Tv.

I noticed that they've been airing premier football live matches lately.

Sat and tp please

Chelseafan1:
Hazarddinooooooooh..... World class goal my boy.

At last.

I'm the happiest man on Earth.

Are you a Madrid fan? Or you're just confused...

Spy360:
Spurs Don kill many people ticket today, hope Leicester bury's them.

Oops!
Liv1-0Lei

Spurs Don kill many people ticket today, hope Leicester bury's them.

Brendan Rodgers has really made Leicester a very decent side. They look calm especially off the ball.
Liverpool has got their work cut out for them.

Roland17:
After chopping 7 during the week, wetin you say make him do? Dem go need 2 goalies every match day as e dey go like this. Wetin concern me, I am so loving it!

He was like...
''make I begin commot before this umuaka spoil my career''
Lol

Hugo Lloris take style excuse himself.

...and Fkhalifa wants us to follow in Spuds footsteps.

Actually it's only 6pts separating 3rd and 14th.

BaH 3-0 THS

Arsenal gonna have a free ride to top four this season. Chai! See luck.

Tottenham has fallen.

spillo1:
Apart from the one you mentioned none at all

I think England is just cornering those lads to prevent them from serving other countries.

But why should I blame them, after providing quality social amenities to aid and support their development.

Nigeria can piss off.

Nigcomsat is like our wife, no matter where the girlfriend (Tstv) seduce us or carry us go, we always have to come back home.

fhranchez:
thanks, they are on different satellites but not nilesat & astra. or do i need to change it to nilesat & astra?

This shouldn't be a problem. Try and get another 2in1 lnb and check.

raumdeuter:
Do you think David Alaba would have been better choosing Nigeria? Because of Alaba, Bayern has new set of fans in Austria with higher purchasing power who can buy Alaba merchandize, because of Alaba, Bayern can go for preseason in Austria and make more money like Son Heung Min for Spurs and Leverkusen in Korea
As a result, Alaba will get about a 50K bump in salary per week. Get more quality endorsements(Not Viju milk) in Austria by being 6 time Austrian footballer of the year and 2 time sportsman of the year

Assuming Alaba had chosen Nigeria what would it have been to him and the value to Bayern to pay him that extra per week

I mean England specifically. Some countries like France are very liberal in bonding with Africans. England are always emphatic about their British origin.

raumdeuter:
Do you think Sterling regrets his decision?

Sterling - Jamaica yeah, even Dele Alli.

Well unless you are that good, choosing England may not be the best. Those guys are typical white supremacist, you have to be exceptionally good for them to surrender to you.

As for Tammy, he should be careful not to be misled by English carrots. They aren't really sweet.

But I don't know why guy who adopted England and didn't regret it. Remind me if you can please.

BlueRayDick:
If I was ozil too, i wouldn't bloody care. Players that have gotten to top level like himself are usually hard to discard by the coach without having serious financial implications for the club. Being armed with that information alone would make on unbothered and continue to smile to the bank each payday; so far your contract is not pay as you play.

If Emery doesn't find a way around the issue, he will only be costing the club money. Ozil has won the biggest cup in the world(World cup) and is obviously not interested in any international cup again, so that motivation is obviously not there and as such he will definitely not push for an exit to a club where he can get regular playing time for any international call-up.

Also Ozil cannot be worse than Xhaka. I mean if there is an issue they should deal with it instead of putting the club at a loss. Working environment should be devoid of sentiments, and professionalism should direct all forms of approach to issues.

He should play Ozil until he is able to sell him off. No matter how weaknesses, his talents are undeniable. He cannot be worse than Xhaka.
