Life After Emery Begins

[razörist]

Not insinuating anything.....you get exactly what i said.

What? Is your English like Unai's? I asked a pretty clear question.

Not celebrating until I find out who these clowns are replacing Emery with.

It is a foregone conclusion that in the next few days Emery will be gone.
Decent man but not a good fit and not an Arsenal manager caliber.
Two things for fans to keep in mind though, first, there no need & no point to be disrespectful to him or to mock him because of his accent or whathaveyou. That is totally uncalled for.
Second point, no miracle worker, or new manager in that case, can quickly come in and fix the mess that is AFC these days. Contrary to popular opinion, this squad is not that good. We have very few top players in that group. The 5 central defenders are, to various degrees, average to mediocre. Our central midfielders are a bunch of misfits. The forwards may be the silver linings although I don't believe the Auba-Laca pairing is a good set up. There is a lot of work and pain ahead before we get back to a top 4 competitive level.

Good balanced post. There's more wrong here than just Emery. The summer transfer window was a mess. Wasting £70m on Pepe when the defence and midfield was crying out for an overhaul. The fact that Raul and company couldn't see this is worrying.

They cant afford to mess this one up. Raul's reputation on the line here.

I can see someone good coming in.

Too late, but better late than never

This season is a write-off, but hanging with Emery would've caused a riot from fans and players handing transfer requests.

Bloody Ornstein "likely to be sacked " just tell us when it's done you muppett. Likely is neither here nor there,

I think we still have time to fight for fourth spot.

We need that post Emery boost to get us back into contention. I think a combination of Freddie, Bould and Pires should have us playing a free-er, Arsène Wengerish football again.

We have been turned into a club of immense, quality football. Im pretty sure we will get back to those ways over the next month or two.

8 points behind, competing with like 6 clubs that are within 1 point of each other, we lost points in a lot of what should be our easy games. I don't see it...

Finally. Arguably the worst coach in the history of the club

I think this club had much worse

Bro, we've been literally on our hands and knees begging for an out & out winger for like forever. We finally get one and now we view it as wasted money. They did buy a young centre back whom from all reports is rather good, unfortunately he is still at his old club. Frankly, neither latter day Arsène nor Unai are the best coaches defensively and whilst I agree our defenders aren't top notch they aren't as bad as they have been for the last year and a 1/2. Our midfield is a mess though, however, a better manager will sort through the muddle hopefully.

Get Wenger back.

 

[samshere]

Feels like a new signing.

 

[Jasard]

Freddie is probably the right choice, we get to see what he is made of and don't rush in to choosing someone. Just don't rush in to offering Freddie the job either.

People compare it to Ole but it was clear from day one that he was a weirdo.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Hopefully they don't take forever getting new man. Freedie for Norwich game then

Disagree with your 2nd point. Obviously, this is not a top 2 EPL team, however, I'm pressed to see a team that's clearly better after the 1st 2 than what arsenal has. In defense, I don't believe Leicester / Chelsea have better in terms of personnel; the composition of our midfield is still not right, but a good blend of homegrown and experience could have seen that develop over the course of the season so far, if not for a scared manager. Attack as we know is almost 2nd to none.
The main problem I see a new manager will face is building team morale and confidence and working towards an achievable goal in the short term. For example, if it's left too late, the team may lose belief that top 4 is still realistic, thus getting them motivated to that target may be difficult
