El Fraude.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Our ****ing season rests on a player named Denis who isn't even with us. **** me.

The fact his name is lacking the other "n" makes me believe he's not the Dennis we need.

 

[Big Poppa]

I mean it’s clear that Emery isn’t a guy who’s gonna make a squad perform better than the sum of its parts but not many guys are these days.

Not sure about all of you saying that he’s not the man for the job? Why? Have you seen how poor our team is?

Yeah Emery isn’t the problem

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Wow

 

[lamby22]

He deserves a couple of years, I don’t think he’s on Klopp’s level but he needed time at Liverpool.

They were poor first season and only scraped CL football the second. If we haven’t made the CL by end of next year I’d move on.

Would agree with this. I only hope that the board back him in the transfer market so he has a chance.

 

[ptrcopp]

he's far from the problem.

100%

Guendouzi is offering nothing atm. Needs dropping.

You could see the frustration in Auba & Laca when he always makes the wrong choice or over hits the pass.

He shouldn’t be starting week in week out.

 

[Dokaka]

Have a word with yourself.

Diop and Anderson would without any debate imo. Arguments for Cresswell, Arnautovic, Rice, Balbuena and Fabianski.

 

[krackpot]

Quality is quality.

Damn right, it is! Held up the ball like a magnet

And if you asked him who he would prefer to play with, out of the current Arsenal team...

 

[Garrincha]

He deserves a couple of years, I don’t think he’s on Klopp’s level but he needed time at Liverpool.

Unless he can get top four doubt he will. He is not their guy after all & will have someone in mind.

It’ll take a while maybe two or three managers and then our fans will finally understand this.

Wenger signed the players that have made us bang average!

 

[dashsnow17]

Ignoring results and looking at performances, we didn’t play at all at the beginning of the season. I wasn’t impressed and couldn’t see an indentifiable style of play. Fulham away we got it together and this culminated in the NLD win. Since then it’s gone downhill again. Injuries play a role in that, but not all of it.

It looked like we might be ahead of schedule or just on schedule, well now it’s hard to say there’s a whole lot different to last season. Are we just Everton with better players?

 

[Jasard]

How have we improved since day 1?

• Our defensive record is abysmal.
• Emery is still unsure on his best formation.
• Two of our best players in Ramsey and Özil are frozen out of our starting 11.
• We create **** all clear-cut chances most games.

I'd like to give Emery a pass on results for his first season but the bottom line is that we don't look good and aren't improving week by week.

My argument has been that there is no perfect system for this squad but he actively went out and made it even worse today and that scares me. Mad line up.

@YeahBee

How does a Santi solve an issue like Guendouzi? It is like he doesnt know he has teammates

How does Santi solve a game where we should just bulldoze a team?

 

[Ricardinho]

You could see the frustration in Auba & Laca when he always makes the wrong choice or over hits the pass.

He shouldn’t be starting week in week out.

They're obviously good mates off the pitch but how frustrating must it be to be playing alongside him when he's in this form

 

[Sanchez11]

We have a too many problems on and off the field.

 

[ptrcopp]

Have to say, this is the first time in years where I haven't felt like there's a big gap in quality between us with regards to individual quality etc. You're still a more talented team for sure, but there's at least 3-4 players that would walk into your starting XI. Used to be hard to find just one.

Personally think Emery needs to be given some time. So many class managers started off rough. Klopp didn't turn Liverpool into their current iteration in his first season either, IIRC they looked woeful defensively as well.

Obviously I enjoyed the game and result, especially watching Rice get his first goal for the club in my own personal Banter Derby, but I can easily see why so many people are frustrated at the moment. You look like a team struggling to find its identity, but that's understandable given you just replaced a manager of several decades etc.

It’s a shame really because we have been looking like this for the past 2 seasons as well. It’s nothing to do with changing manager. We’re in the same position.

Sh*t!

I’m five years too late.

 

[Sniper Mik]

If you believe in xG then this was statistically the worst performance of the season
