He was taking the piss. Where are all the others, anyway? So many people apparently rewrote history, yet the only guy Ive seen quoted so far was someone taking the piss :rofl:This one’s my favorite @blaze_of_glory

I have no idea why this is happening, when Sanchez left and Özil became our main man he played every game when he was fit and delivered what, our worst league season in 22 years?
Özil doesn't excite me
Arsenals key weakness is creativity which is making arsenal football dire to watch. At least with wenger we were creative and did really well against amazing sides like barca and bayern. Wenger lacked a good defence in recent times but 3 DMs and no decent wingers is not the answer. Id much like to see emery out and risk it with arteta. Losing ramsey and Özil so early in sucks. STs are isolated out there with the answer not even making the bench.
Once mustafi is out and sokratis and kos play together or even mavpav then we dont need Özil tracking back imo
Look I’ve already dug up your old posts once. Don’t make me do it again. I don’t have much of a life but that got tedious even for me.Özil is crazy overrated on here. Look at the OP- what has Mesut ‘conquered’ ffs? He’s had one great season which incidentally wasn’t even enough to stop us losing the league title to Leicester ****ing city.
He’s hasn’t been a flop but equally I’m tired of defending an Arsenal career which has been, on the whole, underwhelming.
Ffs I didn’t realize you’d already done this. Wasted so much time finding this earlier this morning."Lost faith in the last couple of years"... only last year:
Lmao.
Barring a disaster, he'll get another season. I think we all overestimated this squad, some of the big names have either declined like Kos and Monreal or not performed at the level we expect like Özil and Mkhitaryan. It's still good enough to make top 4 and since we're still in position to do so, I don't think we can draw too many conclusions about Emery in mid-February.I'm not saying he should lose his job, right now, but I'm also not going to sit here and say that wherever we finish and however we play, I want Emery to get another season or two.
context matters, rafa struggled with a cl squad; clashed with big stars in dressing roomSometimes things just don't work out for whatever reason. It doesn't have to reflect badly on Emery or us. It didn't work for Benitez at Real Madrid. Same for Mourinho there, yet the latter got another job and won the league.
The last two months may have been disappointing but we saw real signs of encouragement in that September-December period. After that, the injuries to Holding and Bellerin have led to more tinkering at the back with Koscielny/Mustaf in and out of the team, as well as the revolving door at RB with Lichsteiner and AMN. The attack has surprisingly missed having Welbeck as an option and with Ramsey and Özil inching closer to the exit, things have gone stale at that end of the pitch. Think Emery needs to show more attacking ambition instead of Auba/Laca + just one supporting attacker like Mkhi or Iwobi, because his conservative approach hasn't helped in defence as you've said.I just don't want to continue with a failed experiment for the sake of doing so or a notion that the manager "deserves" time. If things aren't looking up at the end of the season I would like Raul to shake Emery's hand, thank him for his time then move on to someone else.
My issue is that simply I do not trust a guy, whoI understand if you disagree but I think next season is the real time to judge him. He should be able to go out and sign a LB, CB, AM and a winger then the team will really start to take shape. People get frustrated when we say it's still Wenger's team but with those 4 signings to go with Leno, Sokratis and Torreira it will really be Emery's team. I think he himself would argue he doesn't have the personnel to play the way he wants, but when gets them this summer he won't have any excuses next season. With the break clause after the 2nd year in his contract, it'll be up to him to deliver or he won't carry on here.

mourinho set records for points and goals scored, broke pep's dominance

To be honest, I was kinda having second thoughts about this whole situation and began wondering if we should give him a shot given the teams struggles but that tweet has pissed me off mightily. Trying to exploit the fan sentiments and the team's misfortune is just not on.
If I were Raul and Emery, I'd make a move. Offer Özil and his reps a new deal to negotiate on reduced terms and notify Ornstein. Then we'll see how much Özil cares.
