Unai Emery: Adios

[GDeep™]

a smart manager can solve the midfield with a coquelin and a cazorla...while an inept one will struggle even if they have ramsey, wilshere, xhaka, eleneny, amn, guenduzi, torreira, willock, mkhi and Özil to choose from.

Superb posting as usual.

Wilshere who isn't even here and Elneny.

Were great times, though, when Cazorla got played dizzy against Spuds and when Coq fell over running after Hazard.

Our best manager.

Unai is as good as your trolling, which is not very good.

Wenger and Gazidis aren’t innocent in our decline, they were running the club way more than the Kronke’s were and look were that got us.

The Kronke’s are just an easy target, Arsenal have been cheap way longer than when Stan arrived. Ever since we built the Emirates we’ve been broke, Viera use to threaten to leave everh season because we never had money to compete.

Then when Roman came and started spending money like no one has seen before it was pretty much over for us. The Ashley Cole transfer was the writing on the wall, Kronke wasn’t around then.

I'm giving Emery 1 more year, we don't make the CL again/top 4 then he's gone, it was always going to be harsh on him if we only gave him the year with the roster we currently have though. I hope he gets a few players at least though, we can't afford not to sign anyone despite the budget we have.

Why?

What promising signs have you seen?

Now that things have gone tits up and we’re much worse than any time under Wenger, you’ve got your Arsenal back.

*In a European final
*Golden boot winner in our side
*One point off top 4
*Highest number of goals scored bar City/Pool

Look, not pretending it’s Barca vintage 2009 and I’m not saying Emery is a god. It may indeed take several managers before we find “the one”

But this hardly qualifies as tits up territory.

Plus more competetive in general in big games

Is this even true? We've won our home games and lost badly on the road, same old same old IMO. Admittedly some were draws.

Wenger used to do the same. We've given Sp**s, City and United a good game at their grounds over the years, just came back with little or nothing to show for it.

Of course the big games were better. Would've won at Sp**s and Chelsea if Auba took his chances, and Kolasinac cost the team a win at OT. The Chelsea game really stands out, so many chances created at a ground where in previous years the team struggled to even register a shot on target.

You can play this game for most of Wenger's latter years too.

Might have beaten Chelsea if Gabriel wasn't sent off.
We could have beat United if Arshavin's goal wasn't disallowed.
I'm more sure Kane dived for a penalty two seasons ago or Wenger's last season.
RVP's sending off at the Nou Camp
Mertesacker's red card against Chelsea costing us a possible win or draw
Coquelin's red card vs Sp**s

I'm not even mentioning that United game where De Gea turned into a potara fusion of Kahn and Buffon in their primes

We've been shooting ourselves in the foot in big games for years. Tag me when we actually turn these types of performances into wins.

We should have been 5-3 up at HT. Mental game that was.

I defended Wenger when the team played well in big games and the team let him down, United at home last season being a good recent example. And I've mentioned the Coquelin v Sp**s example loads of times, the game plan was perfect and Sp**s had no answer for us until he dived in stupidly. Also talked about Wenger learning from his mistakes in big games here, so no hypocrisy from me.

People need to get out of this line of thinking that any praise of Emery is a dig at Wenger. It's so childish.

 

[GDeep™]

The last Wenger year we drew with Chelsea twice, drew with Liverpool, beat Sp**s etc.

Scored in games against City.

Where is the big improvements in the big games?

I never said praise of Emery was a dig at Wenger. I just find it baffling that he's being praised for things (playing well in big games and losing), that Wenger was lambasted for by some sections of the fanbase.

Even our defensive record, which has gotten worse despite bringing in better players than we had before is swept under the carpet in some quarters.

Although that can be chalked down to expectations being higher for Wenger and this being Emery's first season but I still find it annoying for some reason.

We should hold all our managers to the same standard.

I don't think it's safe to assume anyone's gender in this day and age tbh.
