Las Las, this ref palaver go reach everybody. The first yellow for Tomi was partially down to Havertz. The second yellow is something I still can't understand. When you think Palace players made similar and even more harmful challenges yet none of them was carded.


But this palace team mumu no be small. una nor fit score against 10-men Arsenal. chai

They are missing Zaha. Na him dey cause us big problem in such dire moments. I sha like as Partey gum body to Eze. Sincerely speaking, if na White, one moment loss of concentration and they for don get goal.

Someone influential needs to talk to MA on this obsession with Harvetz.

Shegzdave:

Rice is better in that Xhaka role, Partey best him in that DM role nah..White notorious kwa? Shebi he's Arteta best student? He'll sit his ass on the bench since he's still good playing time...

You see that Harvetz matter, make I keep kwayet

I love partey alot but rice really tried in this DM position
When he played xhaka position he lost completely
Arteta should use double DM or try partey in xhaka position
I don't want to be seeing kaikai again abeg

Shegzdave:

Two? When that one start?

In a match na
2 yellow is a red card which equates to 1 match ban
Straight red is 3 matches

Shegzdave:

Harvert should have been the one given that yellow card first and the second one in the last minutes so he can be away for 3matches to give Trossard way to play that position better

That's what we're saying. I think Arteta too will talk to his boys about this throwing designation too. It caused unneccessary wahala for us tonight. The biggest wahala from a non trivial aspect of the game. Imagine throwing being that decisive. Mtchew.


Now 3 players he removed are going to be pissed that Kai was left on.



Surprisingly, he was swift with his subs Tonight unlike last season. He goofed on Kai aspect.

If you think he's good for the DM role,the Trossard for Xhaka role then, cant imagine Partey in that role sha or double DM but it'll affect Zinch role

That's true, My mind skipped that, I just dont like Harvertz performance and Teta Obsession.

Who wouldn't be pissed that a non-impacting player is left on the pitch and the better ones are subbed out, had we lost the game, him for smell himself for not removing Kaikai.

He has learnt his lessons nah

Omo na Var save Partey for that Eze diving o. I jate when such silly things ruin our beautiful game.

We pressed hard and recovered possession under 7seconds many times before that red came. Nketiah is so pivotal to end product even if he messes up. Nce again, you can't analyze tonight's game and not get vex at this Harvest full 90mins.

If Chelsea really serious 80m or nothing for balo
We must recover our money for kaikai 😡😡

We go see una at the right time o , when jungle go mature ... Aláṣẹ dànù fc

10 man arsenal are the most difficult ask Liverpool 2 times That's when he will launch his haramic football

You see that Havertz, make we dey look am. He is still enjoying his grace.

sod09:

You say wetin
You promised us arteta have special plans for him

Havertz is an off the ball player. This must have been why he seem not active even though he contributed immensely.

At this rate, na injury go make am comot XI. Never seen Arteta so glued to a player so bad in ages.

Arteta is doing Pep vibes.

But Harvetz should improve himself na

Which kind talk be this ?

What did u see him do off the ball? I particularly took my time to watch him yesterday; he was absolutely useless more off the ball than on the ball sef .

When we don’t have the ball his pressing is just shiiit. He was just strolling everywhere ; he’s not got that Gabriel Jesus or Nketiah pressing . Even for him to position and receive long ball when he was moved upfront, he no try.

We should’ve just used that 65 million buy a normal decent striker who can play alone upfront as a striker in a situation like that when we are one man down.

Man’s already justifying his price tag.

Master Rice 🍚 keep on cooking

Honestly I understand your point then, cause for a player to come for that amount, he must justify his singing fee.
Hope to see more of this performance from him

Care to elaborate? Cos I am not understanding his significant contribution to this team.

sod09:
This man is becoming mad e no just know
Tomorrow now J.odera will tell us partey is a right back

Lol, I will never say this.

Nothing deh pain me seeing Midfielders play defence, esp when that said Midfielder is arguably my best Midfielder.

Make I no lie, even with the two wins, this season dey vex me

Shegzdave:

Read Saudi are looking to sign him, that’s why Arteta is trying tactics that will suit the team when he’s gone

It's rumor and media.

Partey doesn't want to leave arsenal and Arsenal doesn't want to sell.

Media just using him as transfer scapegoat to force the trio of Rice Odegaard Havertz Midfield down our throat.

It's annoying

Shegzdave:
So una don do meeting with Arteta to stop using My Boy as the Penalty taker abi
Cc Bluraydick Sod09 Jodera
I know Roland not fit follow una

My own be say make anybody wan play am, make him sure say him score am.

Nothing pisses me off than missing a decisive penalty

You see this Havertz matter, I don drop am for you.

I don't know whether you're intentionally doing this thing to rile us sha

Who noticed that;

1. We hardly dominate teams this season compared to most of last season?
2. We hardly create chance this season compared to most of last season ?
3. We are always under pressure this season compared to last season?

I know it's just two games but God knows that right from the last two games of last season (when we started using Partey as FB) I was against this structure and formation.

Now this season it seems we're a step back from last Season as we can't dominate teams well and even can't create multiple chance again. Something we did with ease last season

I don't like Havertz and the worst part is that he's even making it easy for me not to like him. He's not daring at all, always passing back and worst part is that he doesn't press.

Because of this stupid formation, we're not playing Partey to his full strength thereby not making us dominant in midfield as much as we would love. Because of this stupid formation, we're accommodating a liability called Havertz who I'm even struggling to see his worth in this team. His attack, zero. His defence, zero. His Midfield play, Mid-zero. Even Rice that was behind him even played more forward passes, chances created near the Opposition box more than him and attacked the half spaces for ball progression more than him.

This stupid formation is relegating one of our best defenders in Gabriel, thereby breaking the Saliba-Gab combo that made us excelled last season just because a certain Liability must start in midfield.

A back 4 of last season with a Midfield of Partey(DM), Rice and Odegaard would dominate teams just as we did last season.

Tbh, I've not been impressed this season and I just hope it won't backfire against us in a spectacular fashion and I just hope Arteta does away with this madness before it becomes too late.

Good defensive display to secure the win
Glad we got the 3points.

COYG!!

We never get tactics this season na individual brilliance we they use win

@ Jodera , I didn’t want to quote all of ur post since it’s long .

Like u said it’s just two games we’ve played this season , so we can say it’s too early to judge .

But personally I think it’s the Havertz deal that scattered the whole team cohesion and how we play this year compared to last season .

The stupid urge for Arteta to play Havertz , Rice and Partey at the same time while Odegaard already has a place in AM role is what is making Arteta relagate Partey to RB and it makes no sense from we fans’ point of view .

We all know Rice can play that Xhaka role , Partey can play Partey role and Odegaard can play Odegaard role. But Arteta still wants Havertz on the pitch despite not offering much threat upfront when u already have Saka and Martinelli who are not benchable. The other option would be to bench Nketiah and play Havertz as striker but it appears even Arteta is himself enough to know we won’t score 1/2 goals self if we do that

Make I no lie u ehn, I’m silently hoping Havertz gets a knock in training , miss two straight games and let’s see Rice, Partey and Odegaard in midfield while every other person plays their preferred role . I’m sure Arteta will not be foolish enough to go back once Havertz is back from his knock .

I swear I have been wishing the same
I wish he was the one with lengthy injury and not timber sef
As for rice he struggled in xhaka position that preseason against man utd he played that position

Rice is versatile , he can play that role well. He has the energy to dash from the middle to the final third and track back almost immediately the opponents start attacking .
