Unai Emery: Adios

[#254]

So Emery's genius decision to let the players pick their captain is going to be the straw that breaks the camels back?
Fans won't accept Xhaka keeping the captaincy, players won't accept Emery stripping him of it. Emery either loses the fanbase (if he hasn't lost them all already) or loses the dressing room....

It's yay for me either way:Celebration:

I won't be happy until this ship is steadied. You're celebrating the complete unknown prematurely imo

I gave Emery a lot of slack last season. It was a settling in period and it was still largely Wenger's squad.

He has neither as an excuse now. The board spent big (by our standards) in the summer and performances on the pitch just haven't been good enough. For a supposed tactician like Emery, our team structure is all over the place. Guendo and Xhaka just doesn't work as a pivot, yet he persists with it.

This could’ve been dealt with so easily and quickly. Instead it’ll now rumble on much like when he was choosing a captain.

The Xhaka situation has taken the spotlight away from what was another coaching disasterclass from him on Sunday. The in-game management is shocking. At 2-0 up I'd wager that deep down most of us knew we'd somehow **** it up.

Right, but because Emery is a uniquely tragic individual he has instead allowed it to spotlight what a weak and pathetic man he is. So now instead of focusing on his in game management which ostensibly could be corrected we are now focusing on his unbelievable cowardice as he appears afraid to make any sort of leadership decision without the ok of players who should be listening to him. Is it really any wonder that the results are what they are each week when the manger is apparently absolutely petrified of his players? This guy is truly a walking calamity. He's like the Russian nesting doll of bad managers. Layer upon layer of flaws with no end in sight.

I agree! At home, 2-0 up to a mid table team, and I couldn't relax. That says it all about the state of our team. I don't think we've had a convincing PL game so far, they are all nervy!

This guy is taking the piss with both the Xhaka and the Özil situation. No clarity. No immediate action. Is he just waiting for all this **** to blow over or what?

He tells Xhaka to apologize and he doesnt do it. Then ****ing boot him out if the squad or something. He keeps Özil out of the squad but can’t give us a proper reason. Whenever he’s asked he seems to rate Mesut as a player. Either tell us he’s unfit or frozen out by the board or you simply don’t rate him.

All the while we’re looking absolutely dire in every match. Utter trash.

It’s doing my head in this ****ing coach, man.

 

[GDeep™]

Lost at sea this lad. Someone send out some help, not even joking.

 

[GDeep™]

Rubbish manager on the pitch, talking complete bollocks off it, seems to have no respect from anybody, lacks authority.

Our season is ****ed.

 

[Steps]

Can't believe I took cyber beating on here from Emery ultras for saying that bad performances would eventually lead to bad results.

[Fewtch]

Only thing missing are quotes from PSG fans saying “wait until Kurzawa and Meunier comes back”.

 

[MikeVinna]

That... is insane. Exactly the same thing is happening to us.

 

[Steps]

"Emery cannot simply send out a trio of holding midfielders and expect his forward line to win him the game."

Hit me like a ton of bricks.

Seems like warnings about Emery abound. Must have been one hell of a powerpoint that he showed the upper management to have them ignore the red flags.

 

[DanDare]

Can't believe he's our manager tbh

So mediocre and weak

 

[El Duderino]

Can only hope Gazidis will save us and sign him for Milan.

 

[Tosker]

I bet Saliba has been poring over that contract he signed with a magnifying glass

 

[Rex Stone]

I remember Ben Arfa taking the p*ss out of Emery when we lost to Rennes last year.

All makes sense now. #TeamHatem
