@PeteAFC22@afcstuff Rewatch Arsenal vs PSG over the three legs last season. This same team exerted much control.
However, this season, the team's best players were mostly out, and severely out of form when in.
With grit, they achieved relative success while not at their best.
I'm not worried!
Just praise @PeterObi and all the APC cretins will be in your mentions. The energy they have for him while Nigeria is on fire cannot be explained away by tribalism. This is a mental illness.
@PoojaMedia The early goals did the trick for Newcastle. Those goals demoralized West Ham.
If Arsenal had scored at least two of their numerous early chances, it would have elicited the same limp performance from West Ham.
Goals dictate morale, mentality, team spirit, etc.
@OakACU@Alarsenalnews_ How does a "fan" think like this?
Zubi is in his first season with Arsenal. Yet, until he got his deserved rest recently, he was the player with most minutes for Arsenal in their most successful season in ages -most wins in a season by any Arsenal side EVER!
Think about it!
@DrJoeAbah Two decades ago, they did the same - unbeaten to the final.
Then, that red card made winning a Herculean task. Even then, we would have won it if Henry had his shooting boots on.
Better luck this time, I pray.
@joe__wizzy Just that I don't think Carragher ever said this.
It's become a noticeable trend from many of these premium accounts hustling for Elon's largesse to make up quotes, and try to pass them off as those of famous pundits or stars just for content and engagements.
@AmEndowed3D@ArsenalSon200@DrJoeAbah That Chelsea team had men, but they were the worst version of themselves that season.
They were much worse than Arsenal is now; their league performances that year showed.
Even in the UCL they won, they had some questionable performances and results.
Mentality is subjective.
@ArsenalSon200@DrJoeAbah Chelsea did exactly that in 2012, I think. Many kept saying there's no way they'd progress playing like that. But they went all the way doing just that.
@Bami_Enamahoro I was just thinking "sachetization" when I saw that. And boom, someone says it.
We thought it was bad when everything became sachetized.
This is a testament to that statement that says no matter how bad things are, it can get much worse.
@Testimony066@TouchlineX I think you're reading it wrong. Leadership doesn't have to be performative.
Mbappé would have shown more leadership by allowing Kanté to have his moment in the sun—seeing out the game as captain on his birthday.
But then it could have been an instruction from Deschamps.
@DrJoeAbah It took Pep only about 20 mins to figure out that our midfield lacked technical security.
2nd half, they pushed even higher and suffocated us. Arteta had no answer.
Barca will study that match keenly should both teams progress. Next match, City will be emboldened. My worries.
@fataikolade1@Alarsenalnews_ He couldn't even hide his bias. One has to wonder why Donnarumma won the best keeper awards in both the Ballon d'Or and FIFA's The Best.
The match vs Arsenal alone, without Donnarumma's saves, PSG wouldn't have progressed.
@GayHodler@Alarsenalnews_ He contradicted himself a lot there.
How could anyone watch that and come up with the analysis that Leverkusen performed better?
Also he went on to pick out the one save of Raya without mentioning the numerous saves of Blaswich.
The bias is deafening. No balance
@Khaytweets One game at a time please. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
But then, not that y'all don't know this. Anything for the engagements. Carry on!
