Silly mistake yí Noni

Thunder fire mustafi asss anywhere he dey

Jodera:
Good game. We controlled the tempo and defence did well.
Please, Pepe is getting frustrating by the week. I don't wanna sound as if I'm too complaining but I dunno weda he's still short in confidence or he lacks the skills and decision making for a top club.

I dunno if any one noticed, but I think our transition from midfield to attack is slow and not quick enough. Also, ceballos is a great addition to the midfield, but I feel he gives a lot of back passes and side passes, and somehow delays much on the ball(not like guen tho).... Just my observation, not only in this game, but also against Everton too.

Mari is a great addition to the defence. Good we have 2 ball playing cb in the team
Shout out to Leno too. He's outstanding.

Hoping we get a positive result against Manchester city.

That idiot is getting annoying by the day, he should fvck off already.
I hate his body language in games this was the main reason people critised ozil this one will just be strolling on pitch doing nothing

BlueRayDick:


I honestly do not agree with Ur submission on Ceballos. He only holds on to the ball when Pepe refuses to make a run on the wings. I mean you don't expect him to pass the ball to an empty space.

Ordinarily Ceballos would've passed the ball to an open space while pepe would be expected to make a run for the ball, but pepe has proven to be a player who likes to wait for the ball. He just won't move without the ball at his feet. This can be frustrating for a midfielder born and bred in Spain who has seen how dem Xavi, Iniesta play the ball into open space while Dem David villa and Pedro make a run for it.

Ceballos is miles apart from Guendouzi who recycles possession. Ceballos mostly wants to engage in forward play( this u can tell from some of the balls he gives away in a bid to locate a player hiding in-between defenders).


About two to three times in this match Xhaka was in a position to make defence-splitting pass forward he ended up messing it up.

Abeg no start xhaka argument
This guy was in a shooting position and he lost the ball, the only time he moved the ball forward baba became clueless on what to do next

BlueRayDick:


Xhaka na àgbákò midfielder

The less said about him, the better

Dreamswayne:

Didn't watch the match but I feel playing a CB behind him doesn't help matters! An inside forward like Pepe must have a good connection with the overlapping full back behind him...


He formed a good partnership with Celik at Lille and have been playing with duds since he arrived here!


He starts running with the ball and the supposed full back just backs him and watch him dribble past two or more players before anything can happen...


I'll be frustrated if I was in his shoes, Arteta isn't helping him either by prioritizing only our left side of attack!

iamoyindamola:
Don't try to defend him he's terrible when paired with bellerin.
He behaves like he's everyone boss on field

Dreamswayne:

Because Bellerin has been instructed not to overlap...


If Arteta prioritize that right side the way he did for the left, Pepe would be having better performances!



All he does nowadays is stick to the right side to give us width and not drift into the middle like an inside forward he is...

Jodera:
You're making good sense tho. But the difference btw him and auba is that he can play the wing role more than auba, that's why the left back is helping auba in attack so that to he can cut in. Pepe he is believed can beat his man one on one, but he hardly does that effectively. Aside our last game in which a cb was by his side, most games bellerin do help him, he doesn't still perform as expected. His decision making is mostly poor also, and he tends to over dribble. Our attack do go through his wing too, but mostly the wing isn't that efficient

Jencejyde:
I watched the Manchester Derby and the only thing I saw in that game was passion and desire from manu Tactics counted for nothing but a will to do whatever it takes not to lose to city was all I saw. I really hope we can see such from our lads going into the game against city even though I doubt it. Sometimes tactics count for nothing if the desire to win at all cost matching the opponent stride for stride and winning all the 50/50 challenges and giving them little or no time on the ball is not done.

Unfortunately I really do not see those attributes often in our players and unless they put that into play coupled with the tactical understanding the manager is drilling into them, then we may win lower opposition but still lose woefully to the top guns.

I'm even skeptical of our chances against Sheffield in the fa cup because Sheffield are a well drilled team. And their players have passion in them to go out and do whatever it takes to win. We really need our team Phycologist to help this team understand that winning should be a habit and losing should not be an option against any opposition. The game against westham could have gone south if West Ham converted their chances and to think we were at home. I can't fault the manager here because its glaring what he his trying to instill but seems some of our personell are not good enough to execute. I really just hope we can make top four but more optimistic about the next season where arteta can get funds to bring in his own type of players and a full pre-season. All in all hoping we can do well on Wednesday and the rest of the season

Spy360:

You must understand that every game is unique and passion will vary. For example you cannot compare the passion against Spurs to when we play Burnley. In fact it will take a lot of inner strength to find passion against such teams. That's why it's said that some players are big game players it's because that's the kind of matches they easily express their passion.

Same reason why Man Utd can lose to small teams but beat City and Chelsea hone and away.

Don't worry our boys will find the passion needed to face City. It's an away game so there will be a lot of pressure from City. But with Arteta I believe we will find the grits to get something out of the game.
