I’m backing Emery to get top 4. Have backed him since pre season. Still, I don’t see enough in keeping him here.
You need to convince Raul that by getting top 4 he gets sacked.

His line ups and subs have been poor ever since he got here.
Last season we were 4th in getting points when falling behind. The season before with Wenger, we were 3rd - with no Auba until Jan and an injured Laca.By the way, has anyone realized how many comebacks there have been under Emery?
I'm not sure of the total count, but I think there are quite many.
Last two years under Wenger there was not much confidence in getting back from tough situations, and mostly panic, so this is one clear improvement in my view.
The above applies to the start-mid season. Fell off a cliff after that, poor team selection vs Palace, poor subs vs Brighton, top off my head, cost us top 4.His subs were often phenomenal last season, you already forgot how we won games coming from behind or how we looked a different team during the second half of games?
Yeah but what about setting the team up properly from the get go? If you are relying on subs to bail you out for half a season, something is wrong. By the end of the season, he changed things too often and too quickly, the Brighton game being a prime example. We had momentum in the game and he killed it.His subs were often phenomenal last season, you already forgot how we won games coming from behind or how we looked a different team during the second half of games?

So I don’t see the clear improvement.
I looked at top 6 games in EPL from Wenger's last season and counted 1-3-6 and 10-20. Emery's 1st season 3-3-4 and 16-19. Interesting to see how that develops.
I want Emery out no matter what. Watched nearly every game and it’s clear to see he’s a dreadful manager.
Finally someone who see it in a more realistic perspective. Being 4th with the points we have and the way we played it’s like we lose another game and Chelsea, ManU and Sp**s stop throwing points and 4th is over. It’s not like we have so much advantage over them.Some people look to the right of this thread and see Arsenal in 4th place. I look to the right and see us a point away from 9th place (mid-table). I don't see our current standing as much evidence of Emery's success at this point.
Same goes for the amount of times Arsenal have come from behind. Some see it as Emery making great substitutions and/or instilling belief and fight in the team. I see it as him setting the team up terribly from the start and being forced to change his approach because his initial tactics failed.
The team played very well in the last EL league - some people are claiming that Emery finally had the fullbacks he needed to make his tactics work. I see it as a) playing at home against a vastly inferior team b) not having Xhaka in the lineup, and c) Emery not being as rigid in his tactics due to a) and b). I expect to see the same dogshit in the next PL match that we always see.
If you only look for negatives you will find just that. It's plain stupid to me.Some people look to the right of this thread and see Arsenal in 4th place.

Just look what a good manager and a system can do. Ajax, they have youngsters playing in high level at UCL like they were much much better individually. In reality they are not the best or WC players yet but they work as a team.The Arsenal I supported used to have that attacking identity with quality one touch passes that used to amaze me and make up for all the heartbreaks of big games and high scoreline losses.
Now Emery puts a random 11 with 3 DMS and wishes for the best with no style of play. Wenger was past his time and deserved to go but I would take his style over Emery's all day.
And you can see with freddie's kids that our game is not dead and will come back to the spotlight when the time comes.
Exactly... like being at 4th with only one point ahead from mid table is something could not change with a loss. And we know for games like Watford or Villa that teams is very capable of dropping points.plain stupid? how about realistic!

That’s why sometimes they struggle when they leave for other bigger teams where the system change and doesn’t protect them like they were in teams like Ajax.
