I think he hasn't adapted to English football. He sets his team up the same every week, which you can get away with in Spain where the lower placed teams will generally roll over for you, even away from home. In the Premier League it's a dog fight now and everyone is up for beating you.Anyone have any idea what's going wrong for him ? I rate him very highly but he just hasn't been able to make it happen.
Is it the players or tactics ? Do you think lack of right players is hindering him ?
Ozil isn't interested in playing away games though, look at all the ones in the north of England he's missed with "illness" in last 2-3 years, it's a scandal.if i were a manager with a really good playmaker i would simply insert him into the lineup
With liverpool and city above the rest sideways is considered good.Has anything truly changed since Wenger left?
They've gone sideways
I suppose its better than where we went
Liverpool challenged City last season and are 6 pts ahead this season. You can challenge City if you have a world class manager. City have a lot of quality in the squad but the squad is relatively small and susceptible to injury crises. They have only two pure strikers and 3 CBs, if you don't count 18 and 17 y.o. players as genuine options. Liverpool are challenging them with less investments in their squad than us, 2 pts off the relegation zone.With liverpool and city above the rest sideways is considered good.
You cant realistically challenge city with their money. Money isnt everything but city's money is something else.
I'd say emery will be doing a good job if he can finish 4th all things considered.
Not everyone is pep and kloopp.Liverpool challenged City last season and are 6 pts ahead this season. You can challenge City if you have a world class manager.

Yes but no one thought Klopp will be making 95+ points before last season. Conte in his first season made 90+ points and that's with average start and changing system during the season.Not everyone is pep and kloopp.
It's like saying you can do what United do if you have a good manager, sometimes you don't always get your fergie
I think he's a mid-table manager with serious failing:Anyone have any idea what's going wrong for him ? I rate him very highly but he just hasn't been able to make it happen.

Of course they wouldWould Arsenal fans take Allegri after Emery?
Wow! I didn't expect that. They seemed to have a good run last year at some point, they've obviously been pretty awful since then.Tweet

He's doing worse than literally the worst version of Wenger.
Hes been injuredWow! I didn't expect that. They seemed to have a good run last year at some point, they've obviously been pretty awful since then.
I can't understand why he's keeping Lacazette out of the team also. He and Aubameyang were carrying them most of the time.
Seems to be on the bench an awful lot, unless he's just filling a gap and not fully fit? It seems more a tactical decision.Hes been injured
Klopp took over in 2015, not 2017 though. It took him about 2 years to build a really good attacking unit (Liverpool only secured 4th on last day of 16/17 season). Even then as Liverpool were entertaining to watch they still let in so many stupid goals. Only became true title contenders once VVD and Allisson came in.Liverpool challenged City last season and are 6 pts ahead this season. You can challenge City if you have a world class manager.

I see he's been out since early September, no wonder they've struggled as he's a big part of their attack.https://www.independent.co.uk/sport...ted-lineups-alexandre-lacazette-a9164561.html
He made the bench against Sheffield as his not fully fit yet
Wow. Wenger MKII.Unai Emery has revealed Fabinho was a target for Arsenal, before Liverpool signed him from Monaco last summer.
Emery was Paris Saint-Germain boss when Fabinho helped Monaco beat his side to the league title in 2017, and the Spaniard admits that he wanted to sign the midfielder when he was appointed Arsenal manager last year.
Not enough evidence for that yet. Loads of players are "targets" that don't materialize.Wow. Wenger MKII.
Another good example that you don't need half a dozen transfer windows to implement a system.
Doing a good job.
Good manager.
Why has he been able to get it right in months, while the "serial winner" Mourinho needs 3+ seasons?
Knows how he wants to play and doing it. Their insistence on passing it out from the back is also admirable.
I didn't say it was a good system.
no but it was an obvious dig at Mourinho based on short term 'success' for Emery at ArsenalI didn't say it was a good system.
Not sure why you're quoting me. At the time I posted - which was like a year ago, he was doing a 'good job'.
Was he though? Define what 'doing a good job' is? Because no one can look back on Emery last season and say he did a good job just as no one can look at him now and say he's doing a good jobNot sure why you're quoting me. At the time I posted - which was like a year ago, he was doing a 'good job'.
I'm sure we can all go back and make comments about stuff that was said a year back.
Yes. In my opinion, he was doing a good job, hence why I wrote it at the time.Was he though? Define what 'doing a good job' is? Because no one can look back on Emery last season and say he did a good job just as no one can look at him now and say he's doing a good job
He was our target too tbf, we were linked for awhile before we ended up with Fred.Wow. Wenger MKII.
He mainly overachieved at European competitions. In domestic competitions he lacked consistency which on long term costed his job.I think he hasn't adapted to English football. He sets his team up the same every week, which you can get away with in Spain where the lower placed teams will generally roll over for you, even away from home. In the Premier League it's a dog fight now and everyone is up for beating you.
