This weekend may be too quick but I don't think they can leave it. They already look weak.

Makes sense actually, Freddie probably may have already known that is an issue we have to improve hence asking Per to help him.

Worse than Boris for chickening out of tough situations.

You'd like to hope they already have a few deep in thought at least, next one probably has to be the best long term option. We have looked disappointing all year, not denying that at all.

I do like to hope. I should also be smarter though since 'hope' and 'Arsenal' are two words I draw great sadness from when I pin them together and hold them dearly.

So you are telling me that Freddie was hired as assistant coach and now interim cause of his results as a manager?
You need a new sport. This one is beyond you..
Dont get me wrong, i love Freddie but there is a big difference between being a legendary player and manager. A manager should be judged by his skills and results as manager, his playing carreer is irrelevant.
Mark Tobias
Mr. Agreeable
No he was hired as interim because he is the assistant coach... This actually happens all the time in football. Which rock have you been hiding under?
Also, where are all these assistant coaches with major honours from managerial roles? What are you even talking about? City have Arteta as an assistant coach. Did he get that job from all his success as a manager?
Also Freddie didn't outright fail at youth level did he?
New sport. Find one..

Well Paul Scholes lasted 7 games as manager for Oldham, with 1 game won.
Not sure he is the one you want to listen to for managerial advice. Been absolute rubbish as a pundit too.

Mr. Agreeable
Could see he wanted to challenge Tim Sherwood when ol Timmy hit out with a "United are devoid of style and have been for a while" but he suddenly remember they pay him to be controversial not a United Legend...

Reading some of the posts here makes me feel like I'm in a lunatic asylum.
Dissing Freddie, on his first game, having literally one session to prepare is absolute madness. What world do you guys live in?
Change takes time, look how Emery has turned a top 4 team in to relegation fodder in 18months. To undo this mess after having 1 session is impossible and delusional.
The first half performance, we played some decent football. possibly the best since the second half of the Sp**s game. We were dominant and in total control again which we haven't been all season espically away from home.
The two Goals we conceded were both counter attacks, unfortunately having two turnips in defence doesn't help. I'm pretty sure if we still had Kos we wouldn't have conceded either goal. But it's something that can be put right by doing a Man City and tactical fouling further up the pitch. something which norwich did excellently, I remember two clear counters for us where Norwich took down our players in our own half to stop the counter ( their players didn't even get a yellow).
Freddie didn't get the subs right, but he's a smart guy and quick learner, He mentioned that we lost control of the midfield in the second half. I'm sure he'll get it right next time.

I'm still baffled about the decision not to sack Emery during the international break.
He would have two weeks to prepare them for Southampton, his first game at home. The Emirates would push the team for the win and then the team would have a better feeling for the Norwich game.
There would be a big chance to have 4 points more, only 3 points behind Chelsea.

Yep, but in most cases the assistant coach also has to go if a manager is sacked by some club, but not in this case. Most assistant managers for top clubs had experience as head coach. Pep personally chosed Arteta to be one of his assistants at City because he had experience as a player in the PL, had captained a PL side, they speak the same language and Arteta is - according to Pep a good reader of the game.
There is a slight difference between being a youth coach and manager.
I think you should find a new hobby.
To be fair, the lineup was very much a piece of ****, as were the subs
. That said, he only had 1 full session with the squad to prepare, that must be factored in, as surprising as that lineup was to me. The next 2 lineups/selections will be more eye-opening.

should not start with 3 CMs and two strikers. Simple. Lose if you have to, but with style and dignity, not in a disjointed mess.
And Doozi is not a CM, he is a CAM if need be.

- Arsenal interim boss has been slammed by Paul Scholes for not wearing a suit
- But Scholes himself wore a jumper and shirt during his first match at Oldham

This whole he’s had one game attitude doesn’t sit right with me tbh. He’s been working with these players for the whole season and in my opinion an astute/good coach would’ve identified the strengths weaknesses of the players by now.
He made some glaring mistakes yesterday. Özil out wide in favour of placing Willock at 10, he’s worked with Willock at youth level hasn’t he? Surely he should’ve realised that his game is more suited playing from deep. Two slow poor recovery players in the midfield who more or less want to do the same thing. A elite level goal scorer shunted out wide (where he’s far less effective) to accommodate a slow back to goal fox in the box who has a dreadful goals record away from home. The defence I place no blame because they’re all dreadful. His subs came too late and Saka just looked like a rabbit in the head lights.
We definitely played more progressively in the opening stages and credit to him for that. Although, I said in another thread, I think the good start was down to Norwich being quite wary of us and as soon as the penalty had to be retaken the crowd were up, the game changed and Norwich upped their intensity. When teams do this we struggle, probably why we’ve surrendered so many leads this season.
Hopefully having the perspective of the head coach and watching the players as the main man opened his eyes to the deficiencies but the fact that he’s been around this squad for the whole season and that’s the team he went for raises major alarm bells for me and the fact it’s only been one game shouldn’t elevate him above any criticism.

Stop embarrassing yourself. Assistant managers haven't had experience as head coach, that's just bullsh*t. Did you know Freddie also has PL experience? And that he became coach on Wenger's suggestion. He has also unlike Arteta been Assistant manager earlier at Wolfsburg.
