@SkySportsPL Arteta's credit for losing 1 game to big 6 in 3 years (an Anfield worldie) is this amount of scrutiny. Just shows no matter how good you are, people's expectations will always outpace it.

Doku should be awarded MOTM. He’s hit a different level so far this season.His decision-making of when to release the ball has been much better along with his usual 1v1 threat. The fact Pep is allowing him to come inside to influence play in the centre is also indicative of this.

If you don't like Peller, you are jealous. And it’s not just that. You have a perfect image of what a successful person must appear like. You did it with Portable. You're now doing it with Peller. And he will continue to succeed. Ìlara ti ba tiyin je. Una wan gatekeep success.

I hate the ‘otherness’ of football analyses. It could happen as you want it and be worse. Analyse the situation. Not what you think would have happened. You don't have that authority.

Arteta has done an incredible job at Arsenal and the growth is palpable. But with the big, major titles still largely missing, patience is wearing thin, and expectedly so. They have to win now.

100 goals in five seasons is ridiculous for a midfielder who also creates a truckload of chances. Bruno Fernandes 🙌🙌🙌

On the contrary, I believe Chelsea had a skin in that Man U game because Maresca chose to be compact first. It gave them a fighting chance. It is Old Trafford, not Saint Mary’s. They haven't won there in 12 years, they wouldn't have with a numerical disadvantage.

Watching the highlights and reviewed this clip again multiple times at full speed. Henry is talking out of his arse again. I saw every single game he played for Arsenal and if HENRY had made the touch and angled run that he describes, I’d be impressed.

I'm a big, big fan of Zubimendi’s positional integrity. I love players who are detailed in how they execute their roles. Nothing over the top. Just about the business.

1995 football analysis. Pashun and vibes. No tactical insight. No education of the listener. Just tantrums like a schoolgirl.

They'll soon attack Amusan and call her unpatriotic. They'll soon start wishing she fails even if it means they've failed too, so they can have their day. They'll soon reel out all the things they are expected to do and tag them as achievements. Soon. They will.

Change is constant. Guardiola went from a supposed ideologue who loved the false 9 to playing Haaland to grand results. Now he's ditched another of his supposed philosophies for a potential X-factor. Can Donnarumma’s impact mirror Haaland’s? Is Guardiola evolving again?

Be very careful with the choices you make. Not every story of success you hear is the full story. Survivorship bias is real. And for every one person who “made it,” there are countless others who tried the same path and lost everything. Many in the diaspora return to Nigeria,…
