From the 25th to 45, their momentum was heavy. That Kai miss i hope it doesn't bite up. Gvardiol cross are just so sleek. They're waiting for a rebound or mistake and i hope we don't give them that chance.


Overall, I'm glad Odegaard didn't miss that goal. He seem to be playing far from the RW zone, especially as he's dropping deep. His misplaced passes dey vex person


Martinelli needs to come alive this 2nd half in the box. Decent half for Trossard. Will Ethan come to replace Kai so Martinelli plays 9?

I totally agree with you. Whoever that sanctioned that loan move should cover his or her face in shame. It is a total shambolic!

Partey RB continue to raise questions

BlueRayDick:
From the Onset I told him to let me handle it, let's put call and arrange 3 to 4 soldiers from barrack let them run enter him. E go pass person wey die yahoo money for aza. His family members who don't know of his gambling addiction sef will crowdfund for him if hand meet him.

But my friend is a preacher of love and a gentleman to the core. He said the guy even claims som church funds in his hand was also lost along with his own money, so he didn't want to cast him lest church start demanding for their funds from the guy too.

My friend was willing to play the waiting game and like u rightly said he was lucky. I was surprised the guy managed to raise that N1.5m sef as at December when I asked him for update.

There's a reason why I laugh anytime I see people glamorize gambling over here . I have a gut feeling that most people who do have not seen what gambling addiction has done to people before.

We might argue about that red card all day but why TF will you make that kind of challenge especially when you know who is officiating?

Let's just blame it on inexperience probably

So, Brazilians are Portuguese because they both speak Portugese?
Mexicans are Spaniards because they both speak Spanish?
Americans are British because they both speak English?
Egyptians are Saudis because they both speak Arabic?

Let's not be foolish and ignorant.

A player who was brought in to sort our goals problem but has consistently messed up chances after chances is not worst signing; if he's not , then who is ?

Popular opinion as how? I watch Havertz every week in Arsenal colors , I do not only watch the matches live but also watch replays when SuperSports show replay few days after the match. Havertz was poor at Chelsea and still poor at Arsenal. Most of the goals he scores for us , Nketiah would score them and even more without us having to pay him huge salaries.

I say Havertz is our worst signing because we signed a player that misses chances more than he scores for 65 million and earns almost 300k as weekly salary ; making him the highest paid player at Arsenal. I know you like Havertz(for reasons best known to you) , but those of us who are not emotionally attached to him just have to say things the way they are; Havertz joining us did not improve our team as it should.

I hope the club signs another frontman and give such player chance, u will see how much Havertz's signing has drawn us back.

BlueRayDick:
I know what a false 9 is and I know what the role of a false 9 is. If u are being honest with urself , u will know that Havertz plays is more advanced than the normal traditional false 9.

Havertz’s role is more advanced than what Fabregas played for Spain when they had Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets in midfield and he had to play false 9.

Most of our chances fall to Havertz after Saka and or Martinelli must have done their part in taking out one or two defenders . Havertz somehow always fails to convert those chances ; this is a regular occurrence in his game and not just a one-off thing .

This happens in almost all the games he plays for us; for every goal he scores he would’ve missed 2 or more . We all know if Saka, Martinelli , Odegaard or Trossard were to be playing in that his advanced role they would have more goals than he does . Converting few out of the numerous chances that drops at his feet doesn’t make him a good signing at all.

BlueRayDick:
I’m not here to talk semantics with u, Havertz is Arsenal’s player that plays farthest inside the opponent’s half . Whatever name u choose to call his role is immaterial ; he’s saddled with goal scoring in the team and somehow wingers are outscoring him .

His signing is the most stupid signing because we needed a player who is known more for scoring goals at the time he was signed . He was supposed to be that guy who would score load of goals but always find ways to keep the ball out of the net than putting it inside the set .

This is why he will always be a winner

BlueRayDick:
Havertz wasted a whole lot of chances before he scored the paltry amount of goals that made him our second top scorer.

Imagine a player who primarily played as striker for most of the league scoring just 13 goals while Saka who played as a winger scoring 16 league goals.

You are right that Havertz is like Giroud, they are both terrible strikers in Arsenal colors. I'm sure the manager did not instruct him to miss chances like he does because I can see u claiming he does his job the way the manager instructs.

I repeat Havertz is most stupid signing we made , Eddie Nketiah would've scored the same goals he scored and even more without us wasting over 60 million on Havertz.

You feel cornered?
Anyway, the transfer rumour has proven your assertions wrong. Jorginho and Partey are surely leaving.

He stepped down his wife from Senate. Which Nepotism are you talking about

If Tinubu wants Seyi to be governor, No one can stop him. The question is does Tinubu desire to make his son the governor

BlueRayDick:
The difference is that Pepe signing made us finish way below top 4, while we finished second in the league with Havertz signing.

This is not me supporting Havertz signing (because I actually don't like Havertz as a player), but just stating facts and putting things into context.

I believe Havertz siging is most stupid signing we ever made after Willian's.

BlueRayDick:
A manager's wages is not necessarily a direct indication of how well the manager is doing as regards managing the team. Most times manager's wages are as a result of negotiations between his agent and the management of the club.

I'm sure he didn't force the club management to hand him a contract that made him the second highest paid manager in the league.

Taking Arsenal from where we were before he joined to where we are now is a feat some other managers have not been able to do with their club. I doubt the club management will sack him because he came second.

In fact, I doubt any club in the premier league will sack their manager because the team came second having spent money on players. You as a fan may call such manager a failure, but the management of the club are will not use emotion to sack a coach that came second in the league, pay him huge severance package and then sign a new manager whom they are not sure will make top 4 the next season.

This is my personal opinion.

iamoyindamola:
So we can say arteta indirectly have knowledge and approval of the players
So over the last 5 years 75% of players signed by our manager is are defenders or defensive minded
15% are attack minded
While 10% are fringe or not needed


If you are part of the board will you trust such person with more investment
Now let’s talk about the fringe players
Viera 45m
Awilo 17m
Tavares 8m
Kiwior 15m
Maquinho 3m

Sum up this we will get 88m, that’s small club transfer budget just imagine what we will do with the money right now
And we seems to forget arsenal is not a spending club and arsenal having the luxury with the help of the UK fans to have enough funds only to be blowing it
A part of me want to add kaikai and zinchenko because those 2 didn’t add anything to the squad

Abeg he should go to save his almighty reputation
City, Madrid or Barca can sign him

BlueRayDick:
Tavares is not suited for EPL , the football in England is too fast paced for him that’s why he seem like he’s an excellent player at Lazio. We’ve tried him in the past and we all see how poor he was; he’s not even as good as Zinchencko that we want to replace .

Some of those players u listed up there , nobody ever thought they will end up being useless when we were signing them. There’s no way any coach can predict if a player will click or not when he reaches ur club . It is only when u start using them that u can then confirm they are not what u were expecting them to be .

Viera for example seem like a decent young player with flair when he was signed . He played well at the under 19 and under 21 European championship where he was named in the team of the tournament . As at the time we were signing him I believe we thought we were adding a gem to our list of talented players like Odegaard . Nobody envisaged that he will be an injury liability who will rarely play .

Point is sometimes the management of the club don’t even know if a player will blow or flop

Turning Amala as usual. Answer my question first. You claimed Torres was given the armband at 19.. why can't we give Nwaneri the armband too?

mostob:
How about we give Nwaneri the armband.

People wey no get experience dey collect armband?

It's Jodera2 that do match your energy (it been a while self, hope the dude is fine).

That's how some peeps brought out 1 million reasons why G12 is a good striker some even said he's a great striker then.

Do you still remember DWL and AWL debate... it's always been attacking fess before defending.

I can count up to 10 matches the attack looks toothless which made almighty wall to be damn porous... this is 3rd season and una defense never secure us shibi not to talk of carabao.

Back to your Advertz matter... I can't engage in back and forth argument that will later turn to amala discussion.

mostob:
Others are experienced enough. Moreso, experience no be by age. That's why he made that shocking decision to hand Odegaard the armband
