Sad thing is their fans actually think their team is really good, Pepe is being held back by Emery and all that.

I actually vwant to see the team under someone else before i can say how good the team is. Right now there's no one that's playing well.

True. What has been happening is atrocious to be honest. You guys are not that bad.

Their attack isn't that bad but there is no cohesion. Defence has a mistake in them.

If Emery gets the sack, they'll probably hand the assistant (Ljungberg?) the job until the end of the season.

Their away form is more atrocious than United's, which is something admirably bad:lol:

I'm not sure how Emery chose to spend 72m pounds to sign Pepe when he already had Ozil, Laca & Auba. Very good attacking options there, if there is something they need to fix is the defense & midfield.

Arsenal fans, what is happening? Saw this tweet by David Ornstein and apparently, the board and Aubameyang are feuding over 'Troopz' from AFTV.



Is Ornstein still reliable, given that he has shifted base to The Athletic?

I have no idea what's happening, blud.

Can an Arsenal fan (if we have any) please explain to me why the feck you're playing 3 at the back at home to Southampton?

I don't care about your club, but I have you in my accumulator. Why isn't Pepe starting?

Leno
Bellerin Sokratis Luiz Tieney
Guendouzi Torreria
Pepe Ozil Aubameyang
Lacazette​

What is wrong with that??? That team would create tons of chances. Is Emery a coward or something?

Not an Arsenal fan, but I can kind of see what they're trying to do. More or less the best performing players starting and the formation adapting to that. Pepe has been a disappointment. They've been bad defensively and dropped points against so called inferior teams at home as well, so perhaps Emery is trying to change the formation to make them more solid defensively, which they need.

Pepe has been very poor, I thought the line up looks good, not sure what Arsenal fans think. A bit defensive but playing 3 at the back might be something Emery wants to switch to improve his defense.

Im not an Arsenal fan but Luiz makes it a back 2.5 to be fair.

Arsenal's personell seems to scream for a 4-2-3-1. Don't know why Emery doesn't give that a try, particularly at home to Southampton.

My thoughts exactly.

Southampton lost a game 9-0 recently, playing 5 defenders against them at home seems like a coward move.

If they can't play their "world class" front 4 in this game, when can they?

They've struggled in defense and midfield and the world class attack has been starving of service. Maybe this is Emery trying to change that.

I think he’s a bit out of his depth to be honest.

I think most would agree that’s a pretty decent side you mentioned above, and he just can’t seem to get them ticking.

I’ll be shocked/not shocked if he’s still in charge if he loses against Southampton.

That was one of the worst performances a so called top club can put and I have seen some very bad performances by Manchester United under moyes ole jose and van gaal but this was on another level.

1 win in 8 for Arsenal and that was a last minute winner against a Portuguese team I can't even pronounce.

He's gone. There's no sign or evidence of improvement, they conceded a ridiculous amount of shots and the fact that Spurs actually went ahead and changed their manager gives way to the idea that Emery must be given time.

Even if he manages next weekend, their fixture list at Christmas is brutal. No way can they make up ground for the top four.

Where did it go wrong for him? They started well, then nosedived towards the end of last season.

Pretty much every fan around me was chanting for him to be sacked.

If he isn't gone by tomorrow our board is more clueless and cowardly than he is.

What manager can get the best out of average defense & midfield? You got to question the manager why did he even waste most of his budget on attacker Pepe instead of on their midfield & defense?

Didn't watch but were they as bad as the result suggest?

Exactly my thoughts! They’ve got a very solid attack with some very talented youngsters as back up! That 70 odd million could have bought them a great centre back! The spine of Arsenals team is bloody woeful
