Praying for Zaha in January.
The problem is Emery is under immense pressure already. He has no defined style of play or system. He is literally trying everything and all within 90 minutes. He lacks the basic courage he had last season.There is nothing wrong with playing out from the back, but not across your own goal line lol. He says we lacked physicality but watch Ederson kick to Bernardo Silva on the touchline and half way up the pitch. He's hardly a physical behemoth. Guendouzi was often wide and with some direction, that was an outlet. The players were also as static as I've ever seen from every gk. I've never been so nervous from a gk! The other issue is that Watford had one striker. Their progression play was superb and af no time was Gray isolated and not involved. With just one striker, there was the much talked about opportunity for Luiz to step out of defence and add another passing option. The narrow diamond? Pepe on the pitch and Nelson on the bench. What about Martinelli? What was that about. Every fan can understand your system. How did a manager famed for his tactics get it so wrong?I read Emerys interview saying we couldnt go long because we are not physical enough. That's fine. But at least we can defend with 11 men behind the ball. And then try to counter. Rather than playing out and losing the ball in our own third inviting them on to our back four or worse onto our keeper.
It was horrible to hear those words that we lacked the physicality as if that is all that matters. What matters is the position of the ball to our goal and what is in between. The more there is in between the better protected you are. But it also forces their press to drop off because the gap between their defence or midfield is to far from the attack. So the attack drops to receive the ball from the midfield.
Souness and his semi pro chat is spot on.
Hardly surprising, Wenger was exceptional.Honestly can't think of one thing that we do better under Emery than under Wenger.
The thing that annoys me is that there's a few games you think of the Liverpool home game last season, the NLD 4-2 win, the ties vs Napoli and Valencia where we play with aggression and intent but then there's so many games were we just play so passively at times. I wonder how much communication is playing apart because I do not believe for one second it was Emery's instruction to just sit there and try to survive against Watford. I think the players just were confused and didn't really know what they were supposed to be doing, especially after the goal from Sokratis' mistake.
Clearly I'm french and I can tell you for a fact, he wasn't loved, worse he was literally hated by everyone after the Remontada.t see
Take my word for it, in Paris he did not leave any memorable memories. He lost the team pretty early and it was a free fall after that.
Rubbish. Every single manager is only as good as the players he has on the pitch. Fact. Yes a good manager can improve the sum of their parts but only by a certain amount.Emery's current problems are nothing todo with squad cost.
They expected kos to stay and spent 27m on a young cb and close to 25m for a LB. Also brought in Luiz for 8m , what is your point? Our current situation is not linked to money. Sp**s spent fvck all last year and finished 3rd!!Rubbish. Every single manager is only as good as the players he has on the pitch. Fact. Yes a good manager can improve the sum of their parts but only by a certain amount.
I can’t even understand what might go through the mind of anyone who saw our defenders last year and thought, ‘I know, let’s throw our big money at a forward’. Emery’s got to live with the reality of that decision.

From all I’ve read about Emery he takes every game as it comes. Thinks deeply, watches videos and chooses tactics and the team to suit.How do you explain Lampard and Farke have a philosophy, identity while Emery is still trying to find out his line up.
Fixed.Hardly surprising, Wenger's earlier years were exceptional.
Sp**s already have a good squad. Let’s not go into how they achieved it. We don’t.They expected kos to stay and spent 27m on a young cb and close to 25m for a LB. Also brought in Luiz for 8m , what is your point? Our current situation is not linked to money. Sp**s spent fvck all last year and finished 3rd!!
Only if you need glasses.These sentences are a contradiction
If my job was on the line I would be wondering why the **** the decision makers spent 30m on a CB loaned out & 25m on an injured LB.
What's Emery style? Philosphy? What did he achieve since he joined Arsenal? I follow PSG too I can tell you that Emery is considered to be the worst coach since Qatar took over the club. Literally, fans, journalists, everyone wanted him out.Only if you need glasses.
Gimme a login, I’ll fix it for a bottle of Patrón Añejo - THIS IS A SERIOUS OFFER
With those stats it is impossible for none defense to make mistakes or maintain no goals... this is not because of individual misses... this mistakes have been done because of this constant pressure in the defense.
It’s the whole system failing. You can’t have 100 shots in 5 matches and expect no problems in goal.
