PL: Arsenal v Southampton | Saturday, November 23 | 15:00 GMT

Had to go. But I wonder what was the point when you consider his replacement and most of the names on the short list, were lesser managers anyway.

The replacement has so far been a dud, after initially stabilising us from what looked like free-fall. The longer he's here, the more it looks a mistake. Even Wenger's biggest fans wanted him to go for his own sake. Nobody wanted him to be here if it got worse. It was like euthanising an old sick dog that you loved, for a lot of them.

Both crap in the end. Pointless discussion/comparison.

Actually not.

It demonstrates the levels to which we have fallen... and helps us reflect on the work of Wenger. By no means an excuse for his poor form in the end but an absolute reality check.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Pepe looks to be coming on. Imagine if he subs Özil

Won't be shocked one of the defenders should be comes off

 

[GDeep™]

Problem is we will still win this, but what does it do other than just extend the stay of Emery and prove Raul right for a little longer?

 

[El Duderino]

Chambers off for Pepe

 

[rich 1990]

We can't string two passes together, it's like suddenly these guys aren't 60m, 70m talents and dont get paid millions a year to play sports

Yes but don't tell our squad cost merchant that.

 

[El Duderino]

Sokratis still on the pitch....

 

[Eaststander74]

Actually not.

If we want to reflect, why not look at his best period of 1997-2005 then? Why compare his worst period to this period? Pointless.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

So finally 433 with our strongest front 4

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Must be weird hating every manager of the team you support?

I want our team to win, us to play well, to come on the forum to vent, hear from other Arsenal fans and shot some ****.

I know you are a supreme key board warrior with 40,000+ messages in about the same time I've been on this forum and somehow many of us are not up to your stringent forum standards, but you are supremely boring. Your posts bring very little, you are not funny. So I seldom put people on ignore but here you go...

I’ll argue the stability was the team of Wenger. Once Emery got his feet under the table and put his fingerprints on the team, we were ****ed and have been since.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Emery's system and playing out from the back = the definition of insanity...

Trying to do the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

 

[boonthegoon]

Why chambers and not Hector or sok - who has been booked? Wtf

 

[A_G]

Who's Nicola Pepe?

Became a fan in 2014, hated Wenger, hates Emery. Reasonable question I thought.

I think we were ****ed in a different way before Emery got here. I had zero confidence in Wenger turning it around and I have zero in Emery. We need a new manager.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We lool better already but Torreira nearly an own goal

 

[boyinneedofhumor]

1st of all, their goal was due to quick thinking. If it wasn't, then I'd be infuriated when we had 7 outfield players back. As of now, it's more of annoyance + bemusement.

I thought I saw something amidst the doom and gloom for the 1st half.
- the urgency of the players thereafter
- we dealt with headers rather well.

(Hope I don't need to go into hiding after end of the game because of what I just posted above...)

 

[kofigunner]

Looked like a hand ball

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Stop moaning Sokratis ffs
