Only agree with the not wanting the Arteta part. Backing Freddie is not a solution either.

Moving players around will make a difference. For example we currently play 4-2-3-1. Everyone loves the idea of Martinelli-Auba- Pepe with Özil behind them. On fifa you can thread through balls all day. In reality, when we dont have the ball Özil becomes a passenger and we effectively play a 4-4-2 with two central midfielders who have no sprinting ability over long distances.
Moving to a proper 3 man midfield. Not a number 10. Two number 8s protecting a 6 would make a massive difference.

Top 3 overrated player in the Emirates era.

It's not my ideal solution but given the two options, I'll take backing Freddie. At least I've seen improvements in the squad and if we continue to improve, we'll finish in top half of league.

Im in agreement with you there.
Whereas a bold move this, I still feel as though we could do better. There are managers out there now who are showing a level of dynamicism that we should be involving ourselves with.
Wenger's appointment and presence for many years had us at the cutting edge of football strategy. We should have continued this tradition.

<------ The don has landed on merseyside, apparently 
Agree here. I still think defensive problems aren't as much about individuals or formation or who plays where, but structural issues as an 11 man unit, as well as spacing and positional problems, allowing the opposition to cut through Arsenal too easily, as you rightly say. The team needs heavy coaching in these areas as well as be more fierce overall.

Champagne Charlie is happy. 
By the way, Sky Sports just reported that Carlo Ancelotti has arrived on Merseyside for talks with Everton.

Emery Gone, Telly Back On
Emery tried every formation under the sun, we were equally inept with a 433 as with everything else.

What a world where Everton are hiring Ancelotti and we are hiring Arteta.
I don't want Ancelotti but still.

I like the sound of that.
Who would you have as our midfield three, assuming everyone is fit and in reasonable form?
Two number 8s would probably need to alternate in their positioning so as not to create a space between our lines. Ideally for me a trio of Torreira, Willock and Ceballos/Özil would give us some possession ability, in addition to steel when tracking backward. I would also not have both fullbacks up at the same time, just to give our backline more bodies to deal with counter attacks.
Oh, and I'd introduce fouling too.

City have always had injuries. Difference this season is that they've not given him money to spend. It's the same City that had best goalkeeper in England and England no 1 but went on to spend loads on Bravo and when that didn't work, spent on Edilson. Same City that broke records signing Stokes only to end up on the bench and then brought in Otamendi, Laporte, etc.
By the way, this isn't about Pep's ability as a manager, just saying it's no coincidence that he's succeeded when he's had the opportunity to spend money on players.
Do you think unproven Pep-Lite will have that kind of money to spend at Arsenal?
There's a couple of German teams doing something like a permanent assistant regardless of who is the manager and his staff. Gerland at Bayern, now they're trying this with Flick, Stuttgart now try it with Widmayer, Gladbach have Geideck since 2009.

Warms my heart man.
Everton want short term fix we want long one and we need to rebuild Ancelotti isn't the right man for that he want already made teams

Very generous terms. My breaking point is the first goal we concede on his watch, which shouldn't be long in the offing

The problem with Emery is that he thought he could just change formation 100 times during season and it would work.
If he just found one formation in his first season, twisted and tweaked it and asked for players that fit that formation in the summer his problems would propably be less this seaaon.

I will judge Mike Arteta on how he utilizes one of our best players, Lucas Torreira.

Reminds me of when I finally got off of my ket binge, went two weeks in my living room and when I finally got around to stop all I could think was, 'I'm back' and life was amazing.
