Life After Emery Begins

[A_G]

Did Guillem BallaGOAT drop any news today?

 

[Garrincha]

So its 'happening' but no one can see it.

Reassuring.

There's no lower the Lowe. You want a man who grades his own knob cheese and fingers his own anus and sniffs it in front of millions, on our bench? Makes the thought of Mourinho almost palatable.

Had to get the AM fan favourite thrown into the mix. Could be in with a sniff.

I like this point reference allowing him to talk in his native langauge to get the point over about what he is trying to do, i for one would like to have him do that and translate what he is trying to do rather than the muddled semi English he is coming out with at present.

To me though, even if he does get the opportunity to explain things in his own language which then translates to us a better picture of what he is trying to achieve it would appear from the outside looking in that the players are confused and you simply cannot explain changing your formation and starting 11 every week as anything other than being lost and not sure how to fix it.

Writing is on the wall for me, hope i'm wrong, hope he turns it around, hope the wheels come off at Leicester/Chelsea, but to be honest there is an equal change the wheels comes off of one of those two and one of Utd/Sp**s get their **** together and leapfrog us.

Gio van Bronckhorst apparently works behind the scenes at Man City and is deemed to succeed Guardiola. Could (have) be(en) an interesting option for Arsenal, too.

What is this stuff about there not being a competitive environment before Unai arrived? Just crap imo, we were always competing near the top even if not getting all the way there.

 

[Steps]

**** this, "The fans need to be more sensible" nonsense.

You know what waiting till the end of the season is going to do at our current pace? To list a few:

• No European football of any kind
• Players clamoring to leave because of no European football (and rightly so, in some cases)
• Further degradation of the Arsenal brand/name/heritage, leading to:
  
  • Failure to attract new talent
  • Mid-table mediocrity
  • Missing out on top managers
  • Potential sponsorship reductions

Absolutely asinine to preach calmness at this stage.

FFS, I didn't know Ballague was that class !
Amazing analysis. I am for getting a new face in, but as much as we don't want to hear it, we are exaggerating big time and it has been a problem for years now.

The atmosphere, the pressure, the judgement the media has loved to put upon us has been soaked up by the fan base far too easily.
There have been bad decisions and ****ty results more often than not, but despite this , if the fans as a whole would keep cheering the team full tilt, the team would perform better, would go 4th.

Do they always deserve it ? No. But it still makes a big difference.

Why should the fans just sit and watch the team get worse and worse?

I think he means the culture of the club. Others have alluded to it over the years, players are a bit too comfortable in their surroundings and that there's a lack of accountability. Not sure Unai has a strong enough personality to change anything in that regard, though.

Not many long term wenger players left though is there.

The 5 captains were all his signings. Again I don't really think it's an indictment on Wenger, it's just the way it is. That environment allowed a lot of players to thrive as well.

The 5 captains thing should never have happend.

 

[Highbury_2006]

Was it Raul that told Ballbag to tell the fans that they are exaggerating?

 

[GDeep™]

Never gets mentioned a lot that Laca was with Wenger for one season, most of that season he was carrying an injury. Auba came in jan and was with Wenger for a few months.

These are Emery players.

 

[Garrincha]

Sven as well. This squad has his fingers over more than Wenger could be argued.

 

[Sanchez11]

Just more excuses for Emery.

It's absolutely okay to turn on the manager after 1.5 seasons of not just even nothing, but regression. There's nothing in Emery's time here to suggest he will or even can turn this around.

I couldn't eat a sandwich with him on the tele, serious

 

[Preacher]

There is no way in hell, that Emery will turn around our season. First of all, he doesn't have personality to do it. Tactics are beyond it, if players don't believe coach.
