Respect to him for taking on the job to begin with. Looked like a pretty hopeless situation at Arsenal to say the least.
It's not lucky FFS I think that's a pretty naive way of looking at it.Every good team presses these days, they don't get the rewards Arsenal have in recent weeks. It's luck
I can't call it to be honest.What’s your line up prediction tomorrow?
all change vs 50% change vs best team possible?
in the short term, he has done a decent job.Sorry, when I mean competing that don't include the FA cup. Competitions is also about luck and raising games, and they were always in the mix for them.
That's the only positive is the like of Mustafi will get a new contract and they don't end up bringing in a defender. This transfer window will also say a lot on how the new season will pan out for them.in the short term, he has done a decent job.
problem is in two years, if he is week in, week out depending on Mustafi, Xhaka, Luiz, etc to do their jobs they'll be going nowhere. a decent counterattacking side would go past their midfield effortlessly.
Bayern are probably the current best team in Europe on form (17 wins in a row in all competitions). 1 draw and 1 loss more than Liverpool overall in the league but they've won every CL match and won the cup.On the MOTD Arteta said they beat the two best teams in Europe in their last two games.
In reality City this season aren't close to the best in Europe and Liverpool were beaten home and away by Atletico Madrid.
Didn't Emery had a very long unbeaten streak in his first season? or am I remembering it wrong?He’s done a great job since taking over. There were a lot of doubts about his ability because it’s his first managerial post but he’s done more than Emery in a shorter time and at least we look like we have a plan.
That he did. One of the best new manager bounce there/Didn't Emery had a very long unbeaten streak in his first season? or am I remembering it wrong?
They beat City in the FA Cup semi in Pep’s first season. The FA cup has been Arsenal‘s in recent seasons really. If they win it this year they’ll have won 4 of the last 7.Did a top job beating City in the semi yesterday, when was the last time Arsenal were well organised and able to get results like that?
Just get the impression that he could be quite ruthless and if he is allowed to buy better he will not hesitate. If is the word. They aren't City who can rebuild in bulk. It could be a slow process.in the short term, he has done a decent job.

He's already being pretty vocal about the need for investment. If we manage to get EL through the FA Cup or finishing 6th, that could give a bit more credit from the owners and the higher-ups.Just get the impression that he could be quite ruthless and if he is allowed to buy better he will not hesitate.

YepWait, were they the ones Moyes brought to United as well?
Round was Moyes's assistant manager and Stuivenberg was brought by LVG.Wait, were they the ones Moyes brought to United as well?

Not just structure but has whole team working hard and chasing down everything. There is a hunger in them and they want to fight right until the end. We are pressing well and not fearing teams who press us.Definitely given them much needed structure. If he isn't backed on transfers then I could see him leaving.
Interesting that Arteta drew the line at Wee Jimmy Lumsden though - the true genius behind Moysey.Round was Moyes's assistant manager and Stuivenberg was brought by LVG.
I was trying to remember the name of the other person that Moyes bought with him He was the one that looked like Moyes just picked him up from the pub on the way to Old Trafford right?Interesting that Arteta drew the line at Wee Jimmy Lumsden though - the true genius behind Moysey.
There's nothing title winning about Phelan or Meulensteen without Alex Ferguson.I was trying to remember the name of the other person that Moyes bought with him He was the one that looked like Moyes just picked him up from the pub on the way to Old Trafford right?
Fecking hell, to think we allowed this clown to dismantle a title winning set up and bring these men in. It still gives me nightmares to this day.
They were at least familiar with the club and the setup. At the very least it might have made the transition a bit easier for Moyes. Not saying it would have gone well, but it made sense to at least keep someone around with a bit of experience at this level.There's nothing title winning about Phelan or Meulensteen without Alex Ferguson.
