I'm just wondering if you're sure yet?
They are one injury away from a true crisis. Emery with each game looks a clueless coach. Nothing special so far I have seen from him. Big season for him. Top 4 or bust.
I know football fans are great optimists, but there's no way in hell you'll be anywhere near competing next season, unless you have some sort of miraculous transfer window, and City and Liverpool either change manager, or have really unexpected issues.
Emery might hit his peak though, but that'll probably be competing for 4th.
Are you really suggesting Luiz is better than Maguire? Jesus wept.
Or maybe someone like Aubameyang doesn't really help how a team attacks up until the finish....
Well he was right - Luiz has a mistake in him
Not too sure what Emery was smoking when he signed Luiz but I’m certain that it was a variant of crack cocaine.
And they say the AFTV crowd are just a minority
Bloody hell
I said when they signed him that Luiz is a clown. He’s always a disaster waiting to happen unless he’s next to a commanding CB like Silva. He’s better than Mustafi but Arsenal should’ve aimed for higher than ‘better than Mustafi’ imo.
Emery’s tactical set up doesn’t exactly do much to protect the back four though tbf. Having CB’s like Sokratis play out like that is daft. I remember when Rodgers first came in at Liverpool and tried to get Skrtel to play out like that and it never suited him. Some CB’s simply aren’t able to play that way.
This link doesn't seem to be working for me, what am I doing wrongSounds like he wants Emery's job
surely, must be a wind up. I just can't imagine such a delusional person in the real world.
Shots only tell half the story. I remember there was a stats piece in the Times years ago explaining how Arsenal (admittedly under Wenger) were starting to let teams shoot more 'on target' but the efficiency of their attack meant they would score. It's a risky strategy, but what's different between then and now is they have Xhaka who is a dreadful midfielder.
They can't control a game for toffee, still are rubbish away from home and a good counter attacking side will get the better out of them. Their home form, Auba, and full backs still to return are probably the only reasons for optimism.

A lot of my Arsenal supporting mates have had enough of Emery. That performance seems to have done it for them.
But yet the Arsenal fans on here - for the most part - get upset when people say he’s a-bit shit. I called him a-bit shit the other week and @Mogget had the temerity to call me a “WUM”. I was so taken aback I couldn’t even respond to him.
Emery's Seville teams had an unreal record at home and an unbelievably bad away record, this was consistent over 3 years and seems to be continuing. If he maintains such poor away form (has done for 4 years now) he will be in real trouble and no chance of improving into a top 4 team
They are in a for worse situation than Utd or Chelsea right now.
Tierny hasn't even played a game and is not preferred to Kolasinac, is he injured?
Also, Arsenal like a lot of the teams below the top 4 are just overrated.

I've never called you a wum because you called Emery shit. I call you a wum because you're a well known wum. Although I suppose even you're right every now and again
I dunno, the one thing they have in their favour is that they will always score goals such is the quality of their strikers. All it then takes is the lesser opposition to not take their chances which is always likely because they're lesser opposition for a reason and they'll get plenty of results
What I will say and what I've said all along is that they're no better than they were under Wenger and Emery is nothing more than a yes man and an quite 'average' manager
They signed him injured, dodgy hip. Should be back soon
You had a fair bit to say in the Pepe thread as well. It's still open if you want to revise anything.

What did I say in the Pepe thread?
Well, Emery is a bit shit.
That boggles my mind, why sign a player injured?
because they will recover in the future?
I mean, I can be a bit of a cock to posters who I perceive as being cocks, but in footballing discussion I can’t really say I wum. You may not like my opinions but hey, we can’t always agree. The only real interaction I remember with you was you trying to tell me Welbeck was better than Giroud. Guess that’s two things at least, that I’ve been right about

Didn't realise he was only on a 2 year contract, he'll surely be moved on if they don't get top 4 (or win the EL)
Yeah, he'll be gone.
Really? Seems mental he would accept a two year deal and not have a renewal after the first season.
Nah he was damaged goods after PSG, he needed a big job ASAP whatever the conditions
Doesn’t seem like a glowing endorsement from the Board to hand him a two year deal. So yeah, barring a very unlikely drastic change of events, he’ll most likely be gone this summer.
I laugh but I think I might reach that point with United
Still don't understand why they thought Emery was a good idea.
Really? Have you seen how long he has already been out with the same injury? At 22 he has missed over a season with it, it’s clearly a chronic injury.
