It's very hard to like our midfielders except for Cole Palmer.

If Enzo Fernández is not having a big heavy touch in key moments,it is Caicedo who will be missing key passes and tackle in deciding moments.

We still need a proper central midfielder,Cole Palmer can't do everything. I need to watch Lavia more to see if he would be the guy that would liberate us from the suffering in the centre of the park because the duo of Enzo and Caicedo are not it at all.

Can we appeal yellow cards? Because I am still wondering how and why cucurella was booked.

Absolutely! He has improved tremendously this season, mostly on that aspect of "don't stain my white" kind of footy he played last season.
He seems to have rolled up his sleeves this season. Up to the task
He reminds me of a younger Cahill.

Our setpiece is actually very bad both defending and attacking. Something needs to be done about this. I don't think we have scored directly from corner this season.

The goal forest scored is a replica of wolves goal against us, just head the ball back into space and they are certain to score.

It’s all about height; we have one of the shortest defensive lines among the top six. Fofana is 1.86m, while Covil is 1.88m, compared to the likes of Saliba and Gabriel, who are both over 1.90m. Then you have Cucurella and Gusto. Don't get me started on the rest of the team.

Ben white who is the shortest in Arsenal defense is taller than most of our defender

Tammy Abraham fell off. How much did Chelsea sold him then?

Then England cup tied him. He can't even switch to Nigeria again. Might never play international football again.

Thunder will strike him if he dares dream of playing for Nigeria.

Well, he will even rot on our bench as it is.

First thing first,Enzo Fernández needs to stop taking our corner kicks. Scoring from his corner kicks will be a mistake. He's such a poor set pieces taker and he won't allow others who are better than him to do it.

Squared as how?

3 defenders plus the keeper rushing on to him


Na wa

The more reason why passing to Nkunku was the better option. He would have taken out all three defenders. Go and watch it again.

By the way, If that was Madueke, we will all be asking why he didn't pass.

Special shout-out to colwill, he has been tremendous this season. Contesting headers , blocking shots and most importantly, those line breaking passes.


This is why I was laughing when plenty ninjahs be talking about discarding Colwill. Like I said, no player should be judged on the performance of last season under rubbish Poch, no tactics football.

Anyone who doesn't cut it by the end of this season under positional football and this squad management, I am happy to have sent packing.

Enzo F is walking on that path.

He is talking about the second shot oh

After the keeper saved the first, a pass was absolutely possible.

Not blaming Palmer too for taking the shot again, but yes, a pass would have worked.

The keeper was just exceptional sha.

How are y'all saying Palmer should've passed that?? The flick sent him into a great position and there were three players closing him down, of course he takes the shot. Plus, the rebound came right at him and the keeper wasn't exactly in a secured position, again off course he's taking the shot. I can't think of anyone who passes in that position. He made the right decision, the only argument is that he should've done better. But this was one of them ones where u just have to give the goalie all the credit.

He hardly has the chance to even spot Christo. After the flick, it's one look at the keeper, then a couple of steps leading to the shot. After the save, ball's right back at him and keeper's not in a great position. There's a chance to sneak it in, but Sels springs like a cat.

Tell me about it. It was literally 5 mins ago I spotted Nkunku there. Man's in the thick of the moment, with literally 1 second, 5 players around, and they think a pass is possible to process at that time? Even AI will struggle to compute a pass in that split second, let alone execute.

Abeg let's not spoil the beauty of that flick by talking about what he should have or could have done.

If Palmer scored that goal after that flick, they'be talking about that goal for decades to come. That move would have been worth 2GA.
