Liverpool will win the league, Arsenal second, Man city third and Chelsea fourth, Newcastle fifth...Man United twelve

Nottingham will finish above Arsenal.

Gunayo:
which try. Do you know that you need to have a striker that can score atleast 20 goals for you to stand a chance to win league. How many goals havertz scorw last season?

Having a 20 goal a season striker is good but the emboldened is false.

You don't always need a 20 goal striker to win the league. You need a good cast to score goals and win you the league.

To put it simply, you need a player up front to step up and win you the league not necessarily a striker.

Liverpool won the league with Firminho as striker. He never scored and will never score 20 league goals.

City won the league with Foden and others alternating as a false 9. This was before Haalaland arrived.

Liverpool are about to win the league without a potent striker this season. Yes, Jota isn't a striker, Luis Diaz is now playing as a striker but we all know he's a winger. Dunez will never score 20 plus EPL goals. All the goal scoring burden is on WINGER Salah!

IamtheTruth1:


Arteta problem is refusing to sign a lethal poacher ..not all these false 9.
.arsenal can't win the league with Havertz and Jesus.

Arteta's problem is the fear of losing. He approaches games not to lose instead of trying to win. That's why he's always buying defenders and choking every game with 4CBs and 3CMs. He's too defensive to win the league.

@Dundalk hafa?
You just jam one of those nairaland lunatics fresh out of the academy.
How was the experience?

I can see, not really funny oo..

The players turned on Benitez. He had a h=huge issue with CR7.

Lol
That adds to the point. A good coach knows how to bring out the best in his players and keep everyone happy.

geoworldedu:

Real Madrid players primed at Zidane's arrival. You have Ronaldo, Modric and then you brought in Bale. Haba! That team will kill anybody. Also considering the fact that Real Madrid is Real Madrid, they are born to win the UCL. They have won it 5 consecutive times before too when the name wasn't called UCL, so they simply did it again when they primed.

That's how u people play down the role of coach n just believe once u buy good players automatically trophies will start coming in. Football is tactics even if u have good players and there is no sound coach for them, small team go disgrace them.

franvincoop:
You forget Mourinho also flopped?

So now it's because of coaches that Real Madrid has been winning UCL from time immemorial. But Mourinho a great coach went there but didn't win the UCL there. Benitez too o. It is more of players and club grace than the coaches themselves. Player's mentality is 80%, coach is only 20%.

Hotspurs:
nope, Mourinho was part of reason guadiolar left barca,he was beating Barca back then

Mourinho beat Barca?
Are u watching d Oda Syd of ur TV?
For d years Both Guardiola nd Mourinho were coaching in d la-liga, Mourinho didn't win up to 4 matches frm all El classico nd champions league confrontations. And u said Mourinho was d reason Guardiola left Barca😂😂😂.

While dey were both dere, how many trophies did Mourinho won compared to Guardiola??
Some of you lack or possesses lytle football knowledge, bt still come online to spew ignorance wit pride.

Vernor:

Wake up from your slumber, how many champions league did he collect in a roll, abeg no go that area.

Na Fluke abeg. Why has he been dodging other jobs ?

Angelfrost:


In Europe?!! How?!!

Not even in England sef.

That would be Nottingham Forest! Those ones have been out of this world.

I said right now ... no team has 7 straight wins in all competitions... only Newcastle.... Newcastle has outperformed any team in England for the past 2 months now ....

ZombieDredd:

No be Liverpool again

Reason I said " right now " ... Liverpool has 5 wins and 2 draws ... Newcastle has 7 straight wins

Arsenal seems to be missing Bukayo Saka so much.

True..even partey is now playing more defensive. We no longer see those powerful pullout shots

Angelfrost:


Sigh... Please, name the available coaches.

Everything no be sack, sack!

Arteta has done better for Gunners than any other coach post-Wenger.

With your Board's notorious frugality, Arteta remains the best Arsenal can do for now.

What nonsense are you talking About? Pls don't provoke us unnecessary...Arteta is a failure,how many years did the so called post wenger coaches spend? Do you know how many trophies unai emery has won since leaving arsenal? A coach that bought a useless player like harvet n keeps using him as his top striker is that one a Coach ?

The guy you quoted is right . His problem is not buying a striker this season.it has always been clear from last season that arsenal needs a striker. Haverts is as useless as the p in psychology

between arsenal fans and chronic bettor I nor know which one get stone heart

Not always the case. Big coaches have always shad issues with players. For example: Ferguson v Beckham, Mourinho v Pogba. Pep v Toure, Eto’o, & Ibrahimovic, Klopp v Salah,. Clash with players doesn’t necessarily make you a bad coach. Don’t forget, these players are young boys (or were young boys at the time), and sometimes act childishly. Some coaches have the backing of the club when these clashes happen, others don’t. Benitez clearly did not have the backing of Madrid at the time.

go and see why guadiolar left, dey were already finding his secrets out and barca results were declining, gareth bale and ronaldo were on top of their game, he had to take almost two years break b4 ing bayern

but madrid won cups against them when it mattered most check gareth bale and ronaldo against guadiolar

geoworldedu:


This is not true. I checked their stats in Spain, Guardiola won 5, Mourinho won him only 2 times. How can that be the reason for him to leave? Jurgen Klopp even won him more, but he didn't leave.

he progressed real well to semis sometimes, den he won laliga with 100 points something zidane couldnt do so how did mourinho flop

franvincoop:
How many Champions League did Mourinho win with Real Madrid? -1

Hotspurs:
but madrid won cups against them when it mattered most check gareth bale and ronaldo against guadiolar

The cup Madrid won Against Barca is far less compared to the cup Barca won against Madrid during their stay together.

Hotspurs:
but madrid won cups against them when it mattered most check gareth bale and ronaldo against guadiolar

I have checked that again too, Barca won 2 Copa del rey while Real Madrid won only one. Same as LA liga.

Hotspurs:

Soo both Gareth Bale nd Ronaldo Dat were on top of deir games, hw many classico were dey able to help Mourinho win during Dat tym.

Guardiola decided to quit nd seek fresher challenges nd nt because of any Mourinho, Ronaldo nd Gareth Bale.

Klopp spent close to a Billion and only managed 1 EPL out of about 6.

Arsenal under Arteta were privileged and even lucky to have come really close to winning it twice.

When you come up against the quality of Pep and Klopp's teams, you have to be operating at the level of prime Bayern or Madrid to edge them out, and if you think Arsenal has been anywhere near that quality since Wenger, then you really don't know your football.

That's like getting upset when Atletico Bilbao or Girona fail to win the La Liga despite being very good in a season.

At least, Arteta gave you fans the audacity to even dream of becoming EPL champions.


There is no equal footing in most leagues due to the financial spending imbalance between the two or 3 top clubs and the rest.

Arsenal is an underdog, whether you accept it or not, and it will take a fluke season of Liverpool and City performing bizarrely for an underdog to win this.


Again i ask... What coach would win the EPL with this Arsenal squad if Man City and Liverpool, even Chelsea, are in top form?!!

press9jatv:
big fat lie here. Arteta should be suspended or sack. He’s a failure personified here. Bad selection results to poor playing in the field here. You will see the reason why he should be sack

I gave someone the following response, Chief... The question still begs an answer.

Don't mind @Angelfrost.

An Arsenal fan denying his true identity.

Lol... No brother! iring a club is not the same as being a fan.

If that's the case, then I'm probably a fan of at least 10 clubs around Europe.

I have ired Arsenal's approach to quality football since the days of Wenger, and I maintain that Arteta is the only coach to have replicated it.

I remain loyal to The Peacocks!

yomi531:

Well, he will be announced as coach after next year's World Cup, when Deshamps resigns.

It's just weird that he forsook other offers all these years just because he was waiting for the Job.

Maybe there's some truth that he didn't want to tarnish what he had achieved in Madrid.

I know for certain that accepting the PSG or United job then might have cemented his quality or exposed him as a fluke.

U said it all bro

You ire arsenal and you're loyal to Tottenham. No wonder you've never made any sense football wise because you're just like the clubs you fan.
I feel pained that I have ever engaged in any Football Convo with you on this forum. I want to take this time to inform you that such foolish mistake will never happen again.
