Life after Wenger | Ornstein: Arsenal set to appoint Unai Emery

[KrissKringle]

He's been very impressive at both Ingolstadt and Leipzig. Wherever he ends up they'll be getting a good one.

I'm all for a german coach here, whether it's Hasenhuttl or Nagelsmann. These new age ones think outside the box and are finding new ways of improving the game.

 

[Camron]

Don't do that, guys.
Don't go back to stage 3.

Some people already got the haircut. Some hitting the needle at the tattoo parlor right now. No coming back from stage 5.

 

[Preacher]

I see, Ivan is drunk dialing people again.

 

[<<reed>>]

Arteta is the favorite, advanced talks with Sokratis.

 

[Garrincha]

WTF is a "token gesture" approach? Did the Ivan just call him to ask how he is or what?

Our franchise owners know it as the Rooney Rule.

 

[dashsnow17]

Something I like with him, as I've said before for other candidates, is that he has experience playing two strikers up top. That'd be very useful to get the best out of our current squad.

What formation do they usually play?

 

[Hunta]

Would love to meet this guy in a dark alley.

 

[KrissKringle]

What formation do they usually play?

4-2-2-2.

 

[DanDare]

On your phone?

Yeah seems to be ok now

Gotta have a game to be able to improve

Next manager should be a defensive team organizer. No flair

 

[YeahBee]

4-2-2-2.

Who do we think we are? Brazil?

 

[Slartibartfast]

Who cares? It's such a Mickey Mouse league in the U.S that it wouldn't be worth a **** if he'd won the championship. They don't even get relegated there if they're finishing last because they don't have enough teams for a second division. It's an absolute joke.

Actually there is a 2nd division here. USL currently has 33 teams and is adding at least 6 more over the next 3 seasons. That's not why there is no promotion and relegation (which isn't necessary to create interest down the table anyway since there is a playoff structure). And while MLS obviously isn't nearly at the level of the Premier League, it's actually a pretty good league. A lot of great young talent. Many international players from South America and Europe. A lot of the old guys who come from the PL have a hard time keeping up because the talent base is young and athletic. Ibrahimovic is finding the going very tough so far after joining the Galaxy recently. It's a lot better than you realize.

And NYCFC is actually one of the best teams, not one of the bottom teams. They finished 2nd in the league in points during the regular season. Manchester City bought one of their good young players (Jack Harrison, an England U-21 international) in January and loaned him out to Middlesbrough.

What kind of person is Jardim?

Because some happy go lucky brazilian is the last thing we need

 

[field442]

If we are getting Sokratis and that Turkish kid that must mean Mustafi is off. New CB duo for Arteta

 

[Aevi]

What formation do they usually play?

4-2-2-2, like so:

The players used and the way the formation is described in this article makes me think he'd make good use of the players we have:

Token gesture FFS Terminated Sky subscription the moment a read that.

 

[c00lguy]

Are there any articles out there that can educate us and give us an insight into Arteta's coaching methods that he employed in his 2 years under Guardiola's wing?

That won't be an issue with Jardim, being that he's Portuguese.

 

[KrissKringle]

He's portuguese, you racist! Reported.

Interesting read...

I see his camp has been busy getting PR puff pieces out for him lately.
