So because he came in at the 80th minute they must to him and if he overturns the ball to the opponent while trying to dribble the whole team must go under pressure ?

Did u not see how we held on to 2-1 lead in the first leg only for us to concede at the last minute ? The defenders exchanging es is a right decision which the coach obviously sanctioned cos that’s the only way to draw city out of possession and facilitate us lobbing a that will catch them unawares . That’s exactly what happened when Rice eventually played the to him.

A young player like him that wants to succeed at a top club must learn to be patient and play to coach’s instructions like senior players are doing .

I don’t understand? A poor Man city side to overturn a 4-1 lead at the 90th minute when they had already given up? There was no way we would have come under pressure during that time. Come on, man. That goal came in 92nd minute. Like I said, baba was hungry for the ball. It’s not that deep, neither was it for his personal glory. He wants to improve, he has ion and desire.

So a team named man city cannot overturn a 3 goal deficit when u still have 10 minutes and added time to go ?

Dey play ! The coach that asked them to keep the ball for as long as possible knows what he is doing. Recycling the ball between defenders and midfielders is safer than ing to an attacker who may overturn possession while trying to force a dribble .

Intermediaries approached Arsenal about Mathys Tel, but they saw him as less of a No. 9 and felt his inexperience could limit his impact late in the season. (@gunnerblog #arsenalfanaticsnews

Same you accusing Arteta of being stubborn do not want to accept no incomings in January...if Ipwish chop close to 5 goals, no g for Jan

Mostob... which wing the player wey we sign last night go play like this.

With injuries oga no sign players make una con imagine when injury no dey.

Mikel Arteta on Nwaneri & Lewis-Skelly: “When you see those two working next to each other, there’s a chemistry there. Ethan can’t be in our dressing room, even on matchday, so to have someone close to him, they’re lucky to have each other.”

Again, I emphasize that the 36 es started at the 90th minute with Ethan Scoring at the 92 or 93rd minute. So yeah, 10 minutes or not, Man City could never overturn that lead specifically in that game. It was done and dusted.

Omo!!! Our names they change weekly..o

From, Dark Art FC, to Corner Kick FC, to Set Piece FC and now 36 es!!!

All in one season? Omo!!! Make we sha just win today because our haters have been getting L’s back to back.

Long May it continue.

I have watched EPL long enough to know the scores can be overturned . During the days of Van Persie at Man utd , I think it was 2013 or there abouts; West Brom Man Utd’s 5-2 lead to end the match 5-5.

If west brom can overturn a 3 goal deficit , who told u a dead but not out man city led by Guardiola can’t do same if we don’t apply caution ?

Coach wey tell the players to Dey recycle between midfield and our defence is not a dunce .

In recent years, we have struggled to win against Newcastle, their defensive block and aggressive midfield have always been a problem for us. I'm just wishing we pull through, but the hope is very slim, so is our chance and odd.

is there away goal rule?

And every time they play us, they seems to have about 3 goal line clearance especially that dogoyaro man, Dan Burn.

For today's match, I'll bench Havertz, put Trossard at CF and Ethan at RW. Lets run ring around them.

It is obvious their defenders are good physically and Havertz no get much strength.

Firstly, how are we sure it was the coach that instructed them to recycle the es and Ethan wasn’t aware of the new instructions? Mind you, players normally take the initiative themselves almost all the time, especially when it’s just a 1 goal difference and not more than 2 goals as it was the case in this match?

Secondly; pertaining to that Man U match, the last goal by Man United was scored in the 63rd minute, meaning Westbrom had over 30 minutes to overcome the 3 goal lead as against Man City that had 10 minute?

The game was done and dusted, that’s it. And Ethan was right to be hungry for the ball.

Omo! You are right.

But just like Odumodu said, if they can beat us 2 nil on our ground, we can beat them 3 nil on their own ground too.

Psychologically, we are in a good head space, you know, overcoming that Mental Block of overcoming Man City. I think that can give us extra confidence.

I really hope we win it sha.

When u see players recycling the ball very close to the dugout and the coach is yelling at them to play forward , u don't need a soothsayer to tell u they are executing the coach's instructions to his satisfaction.

If West Brom that was perennial relegation time can overturn 3 goal decifit against an Alex Ferguson team, what makes u think that Man city the reigning champion cannot do the same against an Arsenal team that couldn't hold a goal advantage for a minute as at the last time of both teams meeting?

The game may be dusted to u, but the professional players on the pitch and their coach knows it is not. If a younger player doesn't , he will learn sooner or later.

Nah they will score
I hope we go all out because we have nothing to lose

You can’t compare the West brom game with the Man City game. I gave you reasons why.

And yes, recycling the ball is not only to avoid a comeback, it could also be to kill away time and conserve energy as was the case in that match.

If it were otherwise, Man City would have pressed us and forced us to our own half, but we literally spend the whole time in their own half, exchanging es while they stood and watch us. Heck, even Martinelli was using style to to Gabriel. 😂

Man City were psychologically defeated? Was there at any point after the fourth goal, you thought Man City could come back into the game? Talk true. 😂

Not the Arsenal Manchester City that I watched. If the referee give 10 more minutes, Arsenal will score nothing less than 2 more goals. City gave up immediately we scored the second goal. Please watch that match again.

Lol. You're kidding abi. We were with 80% possession from 85th to 92nd. There's virtually no way a lifeless city with terrible midfielders in that game was going to do a comeback after 4-1 under 6minutes.

This one you're emphasizing is just projection. See how City were defending like amateurs too? If they got a 2nd, We would have gotten one barely 48seconds later.


Simple!! They were not eager to bite after the 4th goal.
Kdb did nothing significant either.

Abeg make dem play my Kai for me jaree king Kai for bench??, for important match??, unless Arteta is not the coach again or Kai get injury.

Watching that Nwaneri goal again, I realised the linesman lowkey celebrated that goal. it's either the goal too sweet am or he's an Arsenal fan or he really wanted City to be dismantled.

I understand ing the ball around to kill time which was actually what played out, but Nwaneri saw the way the whole city players were drawn towards that end and leaving him isolated, that's why he wanted the ball. Rice only had to look his direction once to see what the kid saw before ing the ball the next time it got to him. It's not arrogance if you ask me shaa.

You are only speaking on hindsight. A simple mistake of overturning the ball and while our defenders are caught-up upfield can put us uder pressure.

Y'all may lie to yourselves about Arsenal being tough and all that but I know the team I . Arsenal is capable of making an easily winnable match look otherwise. I will take that recycling of any day any time over losing possession carelessly at that time.

I never said it was arrogance. The initial post that led to this said he was frustrated but upon watching the video I discovered it was just a case of a player calling for because he felt he was not noticed as free to receive .

Recycling the ball to kill off time seem like a reasonable thing to do and I believe the coach signed off on it going by the fact that the recycling was done close to the dugout and he didn't chide them for it.

Three unreplied goals it is then.
Newcastle is going to pack bus. I foresee a 5-5-0 formation

that's why we're saying na you dey overthink am. You're overrating Man city in this fixture. They were already beaten after the Myles goal. It was obvious in how their press was. Their two new attacking subs were not helpful one bit.


No, we aren't tough. I'm still pissed nothing happened this window. But arsenal couldn't be the 1st team in 14games that city would have fought to get 3 goals back simply because of a to an attacking player that was so so so free that he had enough time to choose his angle.

This recycling we did happened well in dying minutes. One to Ethan is no justification to berate that move as though we weren't already ing them around.

If na 2-1 now, your pov is totally justified.


Ethan was toooooooooo freee. Tooo freee for a fresh leg in that game.

So, a certain Jason Cindy said it on live TV that he hopes MLS get his leg broken just like Alfie Haaland because of how the young kid celebrated his goal. This is nauseating.

I pray and hope his bad wishes toward MLS fall on him. Disgusting somebodi

If Arteta has a different tactic in mind and Kai doesn't fit in, he will bench him.
