Arteta not "Brighton" Enough to Beat Brighton


Arsenal looked bright but couldnt undo Brighton's brilliant spirit. Till 41st minute, nothing eventful from Arsenal except Saka's bold shot. He hit the woodwork and set Lacazette up for an almost-a-goal attempt. It was as if the loss of their last game continued into this game.
Pepe's movement disturbed the opponents and was creating a healthy space for Saka and Auba. Yet Asrenal had nothing to show for the first half despite having an upper hand.

In the third quarter of the game, Arsenal was still brighter. Some brilliant exchanges among Saka, Aubameyang and Lacazette. It was 68th min that Pepe put Arsenal on the scoresheet with an Arjen-robben-curly shot. He cut in and whipped it in. 
To Arteta dismay, Dunk got the equaliser in a defender-fashion when he stamped a ball into the net off Holding. Finally, it was Maupay that doused the hope for any stupid point. As Arsenal left the pitch fighting for no-point. 

Is Arsenal on course or curse?  Time has started to tell. David Luiz was not in the fray today,  it was either Kolasinac fumbling or Guendouzi heavy limb? Or Brighton was just lucky?

My Visions are Shaping

In my formative years, I had a dream to be a doctor, a far cry from being a musician. This dream was shattered by circumstances, and situations beyond my younger might. Thus, a phase in musical career was borne.  It was a bumpy ride. It was filled with challenges and impediments that almost tainted my good personality. Unrelenting, I held steadfastly to my vision. The desire to succeed is far greater than the fear of failure. I strived against all the odds to be here today: a fulfilled and successful musician. It is indeed a satisfaction.  Whereas, I have, on many occasions been proclaimed a "Doctor" in the field of Music.  A feat made possible as a result of an enviable effort in the field. But yet, I am not carried away with such praises.  Education is said to be the best legacy. The same urge to succeed that has continually spurred me on in my music career, has again propelled me to pursue a career in academic.  Upon enrolment for a full-time course at the De...

Liverpool Laundered Chelsea 2-0

  Lampard's League of Assassins became the victim and were turned into whiff when they met King Klopp's Coven of Wizards. Mane mane-handled them, scoring a brace. Klopp's magic wand turned Timo Werner to Timo Waster. Havertz became Harvard without a degree. Kante could not count any goal. Kepa also was no keeper. Chelsea became ChelShit: as all turned messy.  The game actually started as if Chelsea would be in control for a longer time. Werner squandered two good chances, though his movements were always threatening.  But the real story unveiled after 40+ minutes into the game. Mane got Christensen to foul him. Red card for CB.  The game became only Liverpool's. Magic Mane later got the first goal and also the second which was gifted by Kepa unkempt pass. Jorginho kept jogging but not creating. Zouma tried his best and Tomori as sub was not timorous but the scoreline wasnt palatable.  Lampard has a lot to fix. But he has another league o...

True True Mark of a Champion: Both Liverpool and Manchester City Came from behind to Claim Maximum Points in their Matches

 Klopp called his boys mentality monsters and of course they are. Coming from behind three times in a week to secure victory was massive. Aston Villa got the first goal and they intended to sit on it. They pushed and held forth till like 80 minutes into the game when Robertson equalised and Mane got the most dramatic winner at the tick-tock of the last minute. They are the king of comebacks. No one does it better than Klopp guys. #AVLLIV On #MCISOU James Ward Prowse tucked a rebound from Stuart Armstrong strike to put Sothampton ahead. City heaved and puffed before they could get an equaliser. Until Kyle Walker secured a goal and later assisted Aguero for the winner. Kyle Walker, the savior. Guardiola would love to be ahead but Klopp this time would not be willing to relinquish such lead. It unfolds we follow sha! --toonday
