very impressed by how solid we are in the 3-back. under emery that formation was a kiss of death, awful in defense as well as attack. i dont think our attack is quite there yet, but it could just be a personnel issue.

Özil at 10 And Emery Out
Lol, back when we “deliberately” let the opposition have a million shots but it was okay because it was only low quality shots!
Country: England
Makes me sick how we wasted 18 months on the Spanish Moyes.
A win over Wolves is now seen as a big result due to that **** and how he infected this club with his mediocrity.

To make it to the champions league last season we needed to A: beat chelsea in the EL final or B get 5 (!) or more points from our last 5 games. Thanks to his coward tactics we failed at both. Can’t make this up.
Country: England
I’d say it was more his ego. He chose to rest players in the league as he wanted to win the EL. He put his own CV ahead of the clubs best interests. I don’t think it gets mentioned enough. He didn’t give a **** about top four.
Country: England
I hope the board will back him every way he needs. One or two good players every other window won’t do it. We need some consistency in transfer windows now.

Player:Saliba
Anyone who thinks we haven't improved since the dark days of Emery is deluded. We've now kept three consecutive clean sheets with the poverty defenders we have. We've made giant strides since Arteta came in. To enable this improvement to be sustainable, the club needs to back him to the hilt. The absolute minimum is a top CB, a top CM and a Top AM

I often think that managers need to earn the right to be backed by the board. Emery was backed last summer, but the way he had the team playing the previous season, I don't think there was much evidence to suggest that we would improve with better players. Ultimately matches would still have resembled basketball games, which is what happened.
With Arteta, I really do think the team can improve relatively quickly with the right players in place. He has shown he can set the team up to be solid defensively, which is the most encouraging thing.
The game against Wolves was a perfect example. We were organised and defended well, but we could barely string 3 passes together in their half or create chances.
Improving the teaming going forward is out of Arteta's hands to a large degree. Being good offensively really relies on the quality of the player.
Of course we need better centre halves, but I really do think we should prioritise midfield this summer. Bring in Partey and a top class attacking midfielder at all costs. If it's possible, bring in a forward as well (LW or 9).

Where is @GoodEbening?
Haven't seen him since we started our mini run.
I know he'll be here immediately before we play Liverpool though
The guy is desperate for an Arteta loss
Gdeep finished him I’m hearing.

Yeah, they slapped each other around in the Corona thread.
Since taking over 7 wins 5 draws 3 loses its very promising start with team that 80% of the players are midtable quality
Country: Nigeria
Player:Saliba
A couple of those draws could have been wins but for those **** referees.
Yes dropped points against Chelsea Sheffield home crystal Palace and Brighton away from winning positions.
Furious
Emery Gone, Telly Back On
Torreira cost us 5 points in the Chelsea and Sheffield games. Thankfully Arteta dropped him after.
against Chelsea was Leno fault cost us Sheffield was Torreira losing the ball crystal Palace was deflection if I'm not wrong

Emery Gone, Telly Back On
Torreira the weakling was bullied by no other than that **** Jorginho, deffo his fault.
Country: Nigeria
Player:Saliba
By then Jorginho wasn't even supposed to be on the pitch?
He should have been redcarded for his offence earlier
Furious
Emery Gone, Telly Back On
Yeah very true.
Btw. Let's no go overboard with the "how much we have improved compared to Emery" stuff.
Posters on here did the same after Emery's okay-ish start but they ended up with eggs on their faces.
Sure, but a lot of it was down to the players still having some Arsène Wenger drilled on them, coupled with a more "pragmatic" manager.
As soon as the last Arsène philosophy drops ran dry we nose dived a lot because the players just could not understand what Unai wanted from them.
The fact that we look to be recovering mentally is huge in context.
