Mr. Agreeable
Could see his plan a little better last night. Hoping to see a steady improvement on selection and tactics.
only people who refusing to support the new manager dont see improvement the guy forced to play with average defense 2 of our most important defenders their season is over in the middle of the season attack has got no width. i don't know what they were expecting.Can't believe I nearly let @say yes convince me that there's been no improvement
I fell for it too..Can't believe I nearly let @say yes convince me that there's been no improvement
You do realise all of that can still be true. Our league position doesn't necessarily negate any of that..But but the squad is so sh!t, we can't expect to get into top 4, Chelsea are better in every position?!?

No, but I didn't say that though did I..Just as it doesn't make everything positive.

Nobody is saying he's a perfect manager.
What the FvCK is with this forum and having to be polar opposites... Either Boiling hot or freezing cold. There is such a thing as lukewarm as well...
WhAt iS EmErY’s sTylE?
Not giving youngsters a chance? Let's evaluate that statement. One of the mainstays in our team has been Geundouzi. A 19 year old. AMN was playing fairly regularly before he got injured. ESR played a few games too.My main criticism of Emery (as opposed to the squad) is his reluctance to rotate and give younger players more chances. I think that cost us some needless tired legs and maybe injuries earlier in the season.
Not going to have many chances now but there is one with the Rennes tie. If we can win at least two of the next three games (three would be heaven) 4th place is ours to lose and 3rd becomes possible. However the Manu game is sandwiched by the Rennes games. Manu will have a day's more rest than us and may well give up the PSG tie as lost.
So Emery has to show sang-froid and play a team at Rennes which won't lose the tie but which rests key players for the Manu game. I fear his fixation with the Europa League may prevent him from doing this but it would be a shame because good as it would be to win the EL it is far from certain we'll do it. But if we lose the home game to Manu it is almost certain we don't grab 4th.
Takes too long to drag out the info but I watched the games. In the EL we coasted through games with a first XI and barely used Nketiah, Willock, Medley et al.Not giving youngsters a chance?

Emery is using youngsters the same if not more than Wenger. Agree though that perhaps more rotation would help in an injury crisis.. but this line that Emery doesn't use the youngsters is not really valid. Name one other team fighting for top four that is gifting youngsters chance after chance.. You can't have it both ways man.
Sorry but you do not build consistency rotating your first XI like crazy to achieve in the league. It just doesn't happen. As I asked, who else chasing top four is using this strategy of putting in youngsters? Go on, answer itIt is because we are fighting for top four and don't have a fantabulous squad that rotation is so important in (on paper) easier games in the EL, Carabo, even premier league.

I actually don't get it. Please somebody explain this concept that if you aren't slating Emery you must be his fanboy?
Some of us are simply willing to give the man time. It doesn't mean we think he is the next best thing in Management. Perhaps we're simply more patient. Or perhaps we have different *cough*more realistic*cough* expectations
Other than Cazorlinho, who said that?Then after our poor form, they slated Wenger for leaving us with a poor side, and making ridiculous claims like Chelsea being better in every position and that we can't expect to fight for top 4.
