00:00The Premier League is back!
00:02Yes, the Premier League is back and Game Week 1 will climax at Old Trafford,
00:06where Manchester United will host Arsenal.
00:09Of course, we look forward to the game as well as the season ahead.
00:12My name is Ayomide Daniels and you're welcome to the Nomek here on Guardian TV.
00:22Yes, the Premier League is back like we said and of course I've got Ogan and Kay.
00:26The guys are here and we are looking forward to 38 matches in the Premier League
00:30starting from Manchester United hosting Arsenal.
00:33But before we go into that Kay, Ogan, welcome and let's talk about what to expect from the top six.
00:39I'll start with you Kay, obviously Liverpool were champions last season.
00:43What are you expecting from Liverpool, Manchester United as well as Chelsea?
00:48Wow, I'm buzzing actually, you know, the Premier League is back and yes, the excitement.
00:52Now we have a new one, everybody made quite a lot of shopping in the summer.
00:57Liverpool, you know, getting the attacking, you know, front with a kite and all that.
01:01But then for Liverpool, we just saw what they did against Christopoulos in the Community Shield.
01:06That is actually...
01:07Does that give you concern?
01:08A big one, for real, because I'm looking at the defence now and how they integrate.
01:13Yes, the attack is there, the midfield is fine, but then I look at the defence, it's not...
01:19You know, if anyone gets or picks up an injury, maybe between Konate or Van Dijk, they're going to be in a lot of trouble.
01:26OK, how far behind are Chelsea in the proceedings for the Chelsea?
01:30Obviously not too far, you know.
01:32Well, what they did also in the FIFA World Club World Cup and yes, subsequently, of course, we've seen that Chelsea looks like their main business.
01:40They always do that, they always look like their main business.
01:43But my concern is Chelsea rather, they always buy players.
01:47But how do they integrate fully into, you know, sustaining that as a formidable challenge is my concern.
01:54We saw that last season, sometimes, you know, before they, you know, swept off.
01:58I'm still very much worried if they can maintain the same.
02:01Manchester United is a bigger concern for many.
02:04How far are they from at least the top six?
02:07You know where they finished last season was quite bad.
02:09Don't let us talk about that.
02:11Let's buy going back.
02:12All things have passed away.
02:14We'll have to test and see if all things have truly passed away from them.
02:17But where do you think they will finish?
02:19How close are they to the top half, to the top six with the signings that they've made?
02:24Yeah, every season, it's a new opportunity to start all over again.
02:28And we can't take it away from any top six.
02:30But, you know, you know, what's it called?
02:32Rivalries aside and all that.
02:34But yes, with the signings you guys also made, you know, I think Amurim is looking to...
02:39You guys, so you mean all that.
02:40All right, I get that.
02:43So Amurim is looking to get people that can sustain him in strategy signings, you know.
02:49And let's see if the guys can keep the, you know, kickstart and, you know, it's things running.
02:53And you're talking about Brandon Mulo, Mathis, Kunia, Benjamin Shesko.
02:58Yeah, good one now.
02:59I must say.
03:01How well does that improve the attack?
03:04The team.
03:05Because they've spent north of 200 million pounds to get all three players.
03:09If we look at the players they brought in, Kunwa and all that.
03:11Yes, I think it's going to improve the attack.
03:13I'm not taking away from those guys.
03:14They are good players on a good day.
03:16But then as a team is what we are looking at.
03:18Can they integrate fully and can Amurim manage this team that they can also...
03:22change the level they wear.
03:24You know, 15 is not good enough for Mar United.
03:26This is a new city, like I said, a fresh plate.
03:28So let's see what they have in store.
03:30All right, let's come to Organ now.
03:31Organ, you're going to be talking about Arsenal.
03:33They talk about Tottenham Hotspur.
03:35Obviously, they won the Europa League.
03:37Can't say the same for Arsenal.
03:38They didn't win anything again.
03:39Oh, good.
03:40And then we talk about Manchester City.
03:42I'll take that.
03:43Who faltered, couldn't win anything as well.
03:45One thing is common.
03:46Arsenal and Man City are most probably going to be in the title race.
03:51How do you see that coming through?
03:53These two teams in the last five years, except for the last one,
03:57defined the excitement for fans across the world.
04:01How far off do you think Man City are with the signings they've made now?
04:05Can they, you know, get into, you know, that kind of team that Pep Guardiola wants them to be?
04:12Especially with Rodri now, not starting the season.
04:14He's injured already.
04:15And let's just start with City.
04:17Okay, so I think that we all know that Guardiola is a formidable coach.
04:22And two disasters as well happened to me.
04:26Okay.
04:27Over and over again.
04:28I know that last season was not what we expected.
04:32We were all surprised by Manchester City winning a trophy.
04:35You know, and they...
04:36They got to the final of the FA Cup and they lost it.
04:39It was a surprising one, very shocking one.
04:42Though they lost the previous one also.
04:44The FA Cup final to Manchester United.
04:46So back-to-back losses.
04:47Back-to-back losses as it were.
04:49So, but the signings this season, you know, you have gone to the market.
04:54You have made some shoppings.
04:55You know, going to XM Atlanta became one of their best.
04:58Yeah.
04:59To Giannorenda.
05:00Very good.
05:01You know, going to...
05:02Lyon, Higert, Rian, Cherokee, or Eid Luri from Wovo.
05:05Do you understand?
05:06And as it were, it was not like the team was not really, really good last season.
05:11But some things were just missing.
05:13Ireland had injuries and now we could say that Ireland is back as it were.
05:18They were looking at their pre-seasons and seeing the way they actually played.
05:22But it is always Premier League.
05:25You know, what other teams are also structured for you.
05:28What they are cooking.
05:29You know, everybody is trying to see how a fit take on this thing.
05:34Talk about this now you mentioned.
05:36Let's talk about Arsenal.
05:37The excuse for them the last three seasons.
05:40They didn't have a strike up.
05:41They've got Viktor Jokeres now.
05:43Do you think that they are the finished article now
05:47and they can fire them to win the title?
05:49Well, we...
05:51I would say that Arsenal...
05:53It was vivid to every one of us that Arsenal needed a striker last season,
05:58or last two seasons, or three seasons ago.
06:00However, there are still some other places that...
06:03You know, while they didn't have a striker, they lost the likes of Thomas Partey.
06:07They brought in Zubimendi.
06:09You know, they brought in Nordgaard.
06:11And they can fit into the team.
06:13But we know that these players have different style of plays.
06:17And you know, something is still missing.
06:20If Saliba goes on injury, does he have a replacement, if...
06:24Do you have confidence in the attack now?
06:26Yes, I would say...
06:28A little bit, because I do not...
06:30They brought in Madweke.
06:31Madweke, I don't think Madweke is set for the Arsenal team right now.
06:37Because we know what he was doing in Chelsea.
06:41Bringing someone like that into the game.
06:44I remember in Chelsea, for a particular part of the season,
06:48he was being benched by the coach, you know, for next two.
06:52So, you come bringing someone like that.
06:54I don't think he's ready to start for Arsenal.
06:56I don't think that the same thing Saka was doing at the right wing,
07:00he'll be able to do it at the left wing.
07:02That's if he's used there.
07:03But for me, if I am a third player, I would still pick...
07:06Shotshap ahead of him in that position.
07:09Because I know he can do something better than Madweke.
07:12However, he's a very good addition to the team.
07:15And the best addition, as it were, is the striker.
07:20Geokeres.
07:21Geokeres is a striker that can give a team 15 goals plus.
07:26In the league, yes.
07:27So, you think he should get at least 15 goals?
07:29Yes, I think he should get at least 15 goals in the league.
07:32Because coming from where, looking at how many goals he has scored in time past.
07:36We know that Geokeres is one of those players that have actually played in the Premier League before.
07:40Though not in the Premier League as it were.
07:42He played in Brighton.
07:43He played for Brighton.
07:44He played for Brighton.
07:45Yes, but he didn't really spark up in Brighton.
07:48But he did well in Coventry before he left.
07:50But I believe that any player that can play in...
07:53Successfully play in the Championship should be able to do something in the Premier League.
07:58And now he has gone out to do more.
08:00He has done well in Champions League.
08:03He did well in the league competitions.
08:05And I believe that he should be able to give us nothing less than 15 goals in the Premier League.
08:10Okay.
08:11We'll still talk about Geokeres.
08:12But let's talk about Arsenal's arc rivals.
08:15Tottenham and Sport off the back of the Europa League winning season.
08:20Although they finished 17th or 16th.
08:22I think it was 17th.
08:23Yes.
08:24Finished 17th.
08:25There's a new management.
08:26They made a couple of signings.
08:28Thomas Frank is a new coach.
08:30What are you expecting from them now?
08:32Okay.
08:33So we know Tottenham, you know, they are the...
08:36We could say that they had something to cover up their shape last season.
08:40I love that too.
08:41Well, no.
08:42Some people couldn't cover up theirs.
08:43Yes.
08:44Like Mario United.
08:45Yeah.
08:46Like Mario United.
08:47And also like Hasnaido, the finish.
08:48It's not too shameful to finish.
08:49That was my issue.
08:50But it's still a shame.
08:51That was my issue.
08:52When you repeat second decision.
08:53No.
08:54You know.
08:55Alright.
08:56So for Tottenham, actually, it's a new coach.
08:58We know, everybody knows that Thomas Frank is actually a very good coach.
09:01Looking at what he did with Brighton.
09:05And now he's like...
09:06Brentford.
09:07Brentford, sorry.
09:08So, but now you see that it's a step forward.
09:12Or let's say step higher.
09:14You know, coaching a team like Tottenham who plays the Champions League.
09:17And would play...
09:19Who must have been playing European competitions.
09:22And at the same time, the kind of quality bars of players they actually purchase in the market
09:27is quite different from that of Brentford.
09:30You know.
09:31So, I'm looking at their transfer.
09:33I still feel that there's still a lot to do.
09:35And I know Thomas Frank too knows that there's a lot to do when it comes to the transfer.
09:38You know, getting some more players.
09:40You know, Madison now is going on another injury.
09:44Probably out on the season.
09:45Probably out on the season.
09:46Strike again.
09:47So, and this is one of the creative players they have in Tottenham as well.
09:51So, I believe that if they can sign the players they need...
09:55They made some signings already.
09:56Mohamed Kudus.
09:57Yeah.
09:58Mohamed Kudus, yes.
09:59A winger.
10:00He's a fantastic player.
10:01You know.
10:02But who creates the game for him?
10:05Losing Madison right now...
10:06It's a big blow.
10:07Is a disaster for the team.
10:08A big blow.
10:09They are going for Savino.
10:10Madison's assistant.
10:11Of course.
10:12If they are able to get Savino, yes.
10:13Let's see how it goes.
10:15Guys, let's do this.
10:16My United are going to welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford this weekend.
10:22And I want us to do something special.
10:24Make a case for your striker.
10:26You've got Benjamin Shashko.
10:28He's got Victor Jokoresh.
10:30Alright.
10:31So, make a case for either of the strikers carrying the team to victory on the day.
10:35I'll start with you.
10:36Okay.
10:37Okay, Victor.
10:38What was going from victory?
10:40So, obviously, I'm expecting an Arsenal win.
10:44Not because of Jokoresh.
10:45Because in the past couple of seasons,
10:47Arsenal have been able to successfully, you know,
10:49know how to maneuver over Manchester United.
10:52It has not always been an easy game though.
10:54But, of course, it looks like, okay, you guys are becoming like my...
10:58Them guys.
10:59My key.
11:00My key.
11:01We'll still come to that later.
11:02Them guys.
11:03You're starting, you know, like my boy.
11:05But, all the same, on a serious note now, it's going to be a very, very good game.
11:09First game of the season, man.
11:10I don't know who set us up.
11:11This is a big setup for both of us, you know.
11:14But then, Benjamin Shashko.
11:16I don't think Amorim would want to start him.
11:19I don't think so, because...
11:20Are you in Amorim's mind?
11:21I'm not, but I'm looking at...
11:23He just got back.
11:24He's already given expectations for Victor.
11:26He just got back.
11:27He hasn't trained with you guys.
11:28Ogan has given expectations for Victor.
11:31He says at least 15 goals.
11:33What's your expectation for...
11:34Yeah, he's a good striker, you know.
11:37But then...
11:38In terms of his return at the end of the season.
11:40The goal return.
11:42You were in Germany, you couldn't...
11:44Be fair, be fair.
11:45Wait, I'm being fair.
11:46I'm trying to reason things now.
11:47He was in Germany, he couldn't score 15.
11:50This is a Premier League.
11:52The weight is there.
11:53Manchester United, you know.
11:55It's him in trouble.
11:56That needs a savior.
11:58So, there's a lot of shoulder...
12:00You know, things to shoulder for him.
12:02If he can score 10 league goals.
12:05I would say he did well.
12:07Yeah.
12:08Let me go.
12:09So, now make a case for Benjamin Shashko.
12:11As the kind of striker that Manchester United needed.
12:14Using as the proper of the striker that he needed to step things up.
12:19Alright.
12:20So, I'll say not as a Manchester United fan now.
12:22Okay.
12:23But, I don't want to be biased as it were.
12:25I don't like it.
12:26But, however, I'll...
12:27I'll say, tundit.
12:28Yes.
12:29I will say that.
12:30I will actually say that.
12:31Benjamin Shashko, the same way I gave Gerkeres 15 goals for the league goals.
12:37for the league goals i will also give benjamin sesko 15 goals and this is the reason reason is
12:42because he's not playing any other competition aside local competition that's really you have
12:48one week to prepare for the premier league game that happens in the weekend most of the teams
12:53most of the top things you'll be playing against will be playing european competition in midweek
12:58at least they're not starting from now but by the time those games come to show you know they will
13:03start to you i'll play midweek games and you have enough time to play with your with your peers at
13:09the same time um we have brought in um kunya i've brought in mbemo there is a bruno fernandez that
13:17at the is work creates last season you know and um ahmad but but when it comes to um chances created
13:25chances created bruno fernandez was stopped in in all the in all the midfields yes so looking at him
13:33the provisions he was able to make last season and nobody was able to utilize it we are thinking
13:38that with a kind of striker of benjamin sesko who does crazities yes he does not have a lot of goals
13:43in his but i think he's got a good variety of goals no no no no his goals are you know quite alarming
13:49yes like screamers but but translate this to how yeah i could lead my united to victory against us now
13:56okay um like keith said i i i also feel like he had not played uh he had not no training yet as it
14:05were no training like full training like playing a match like pre-season but yes he must have trained
14:10with the team yeah and um training with the team i wouldn't believe that i'm worrying when no one is
14:16starting starting are you in are you guys in his mind because rasmus hoiland who is the main striker
14:24he's probably on his way out in the last pre-season game against fiorentina couldn't even get minutes
14:29missing mount was preferred above him so and then the coach comes at the end of the match and says
14:36we need a striker and he's got one now so why not trust that that's another point so well as like
14:42i was going to go there that's i'm gonna say uh if you look at the team you know that it's a need for
14:47the presence of the striker yes and now there's a striker who but he made mention of another thing
14:53saying that yes so he had a plan he has a mindset of what kind of players he wants to use against
14:58usman at the first game but the player still has one week yeah to change his mind to change his mind
15:05so let's see let's see if sesko is ready to start up the game i would add them to actually prove to us
15:13that he's actually the kind of strike all right okay so very quickly guys your score prediction i have a
15:18last question for cable your score prediction play is this season how important is this season for
15:35michael at tet i think we need to talk about yeah at the end of the day to give you a very very good
15:40question i love this uh for me as an arsenal fan yes it is a make or break for him yeah we've been
15:46trust in the process i'm one of those trust in the process but then but yeah three months but
15:53yeah you know you know yes you know sometimes opportunities makes you up why is it's difficult
