Emery hitting the incremental good vibes, right?

Oh man, I’ve had a week of fuck ups… I totally failed yesterday. I tried to make an aggressive point about xG. I used the right data, but I mistakingly tried to credit the origin… but put the wrong tweet in its place.

My argument was sound, but my data inaccurate. I deserved the ‘you’ve lost all credibility’ commentary that proceeded the post.

Anyway, today is another day. Bernd Leno is talking to the press like he’s peak Johann Djourrou.

Now Petr is injured – I don’t know how long for – I have the opportunity to play more games and show the coach my quality,”

“It is a big chance for me.

“I don’t want to say it wrong that I am happy for Petr to be injured. I think always it is a bad feeling, so I feel sorry for him.

“But, now I have more opportunities to play and I will concentrate on the games.”

Good for you Bernd. It’s marv to read that you’ll concentrate and I’m glad you’re not too excited about the unfortunate hamstring injury of Petr Cech.

I liked what I saw in the second half against Watford. He’s a real sweeper keeper, he opens space for the defence because he wants the ball, his passes are more ambitious and he’s very flexible in playing short or long. I think his shot-stopping leaves a lot to be desired, but hopefull,y he’ll grow into the role and cement his place in the first team.

Bolton lad, Rob Holding let the fans know what Emery has to say about football.

“He said when he came in that he wanted to bring a winning mentality and you get that from wins and going into each game confident.

“It was a competitive and physical game and we knew that coming in. We just had to stand up to the battle.”

Fucking inspirational shit right there. If you win, confidence breeds like jackrabbits on a sunny meadow. He’s right, football is a simple game. You win, life is good… you lose, carnage can be just around the corner. I really like Holding. He’s been great in the last two games, he’s fast, great on the ball, and he’s a tough bastard because he’s from the north. Hopefully he’ll retire Mustafi.

Unai Emery: El Maestro, is being published by the very talented Romain Molina. You might remember his exciting take on the Spaniard when we hired him this summer. It’ll be a very interesting read, the author seems the type who is very into the details of football, versus the panto-esque nonsense a lot of our journos are about. Hopefully there’s a chapter about how shite football comes good, and shithousery being the path to tika-taka righteousness.

Finally, we only went and done another podcast. Aash, Pete and Matt chatting good tings about the Arsenal. Tune in, I felt chipper after the episode!

gonsterous

the fact that juve are the king of signing free agents who could earn a lot more else where signifies how big a club juve is. Stars want to play for the best teams, mercenaries want to play where they get paid the most.

gonsterous

I read somewhere ozil has sold the most shirts from the last 6 years. Maybe he’s not getting paid 300k a week for his performances.

China

Also you have to consider that Turin is apparently a shithole according to my Italian mates. The club would be even more prestigious if they had the luxury of a location like Milan, Rome or even for comparisons sake, London

gonsterous

I can’t decide which is a more awesome city to be in when in Italy. Rome or Venice?

Jamie

Rome for me, hands down. Then Florence.

raptora

Rome 100%. Venice is great though.
Florence looks like a great city to live in. It’s my personal favorite.

G

This ” Arsene never won anything in europe ” is probably because we kept qualifying for the CL League, obviously very difficult to win.. look at Man city
Lets see if in time Emery can get us to a CL final or even hopefully win it

BacaryisGod

So I’m not sure Emery should be given 3 or 4 transfer windows to prove his worth as manager, but I know for certain that 7 league games is way too soon to pass judgement unless we had about 3 points from those 7 games. Right now, it seems a lot of the players are saying positive things, our stars (Laca, Ozil and Auba) all seem to get along fine and the one major problem we have is Ramsey but he’s a solid pro who is unlikely to act up. I don’t know if Emery will end up a flop… Read more »

Leedsgunner No, Wenger had to leave because he had become a parasite that was consuming the club. Receding Hairline He may have come across as a “classy gentleman” but as time progressed, we came to see a side to him that showed the complete opposite. Nobody is “dragging” Wenger into things. His actions during the last few years of his tenureship ensured that whoever took over, would be suffering the consequences of his inabilities to act on the obvious. Of course Wenger would say that “his biggest mistake was staying too long”. Anything to save face. His self imposed excile… Read more »

What you will find on le grove is they are like vultures who are waiting to pounce on what they perceive as any comment that is a positive ,especially towards wenger.

Prior to wenger leaving you would never be able to say anything positive about Arsenal football club…..that would always be regarded as giving wenger credit .

That’s changed now ,you have the real wenger obsessives who won’t have anyone saying a bad word about the club which is laughable considering the embarrassment they brought to the club ….each to their own I suppose.

Really cannot wait until Emery has two more transfer windows under his belt.
He’s been dealt a relatively shit hand squad wise and is doing the best he can with it.

I suspect once we get in 3-5 new players over next 12 months we will truly step up another level.

“Emery won Europa three times in a row(being his only major achievements, since any Jack could win the French league with PSG and that he even lost one of the two times he tried),in those times, how many quality teams did he play?
Wenger won F.A three times almost in a row(being just part of his major achievements), in those times how many quality teams did he play?
Work that out and you will see that EPL has more quality than Europa teams.”

Go claim we are a bigger club than Juventus is ridiculous

We could have been if we had sacked wenger when we moved to Emirates and hired a manager who had footballing ambition rather than just making himself rich

The wasted decade has cost Arsenal more than people are willing to admit

HighburyLegend

“Go claim we are a bigger club than Juventus is ridiculous”

Joe you don’t get it. Vic said that we’re a bigger club than Juventus, from a financial point of view, as for him it’s much more important than trophies.

Emery is a decent coach, we all support him and want what’s best for the club,we are on a winning run despite putting in a shit performance, but surely you realize it’s not gonna last long, and we’re likely going to be brought crashing down to earth by a decent team unless we pull it together soon, but your over the top praise it’s irritating, irrational and emotional so thats why you get called out time and time again..its not all that rosy at the moment no however how badly you want it to be.

Goobergooner

Oh and also xhaka and Ramsey out!!!!!!

Goobergooner

You’re missing my point. I’m happy to try and fail. With Wenger we weren’t trying and failing.

I can deal with losses until Emery gets at least a season, but that is just me.

Goobergooner

I can deal but dislike might I add

OleGunner

Vicotrious,

Your post is ironic considering you ran constant interference for Wenger as we went down the tubes with Pierre, doing the classic “this is fine” meme of a dog in a burning house.

Have a word with yourself.

There’s more reason to be optimistic and excited now than there was under Wenger the last 5 seasons so don’t begrudge the people expressing a bit of happiness in this moment.

Sure it ain’t perfect but its a fucking good run we’re on and a breath of fresh air overall.

Joe

Putting in shit performances and yet won 7 in a row?

Imagine what happens when Emery gets it together!

Vic

Why don’t you save your moaning for when we lose 3-4 in a row, instead of when we are winning 7 in a row?

” but surely you realize it’s not gonna last long, and we’re likely going to be brought crashing down to earth by a decent team ”

You’ve got to admit that being brought crashing down to earth by a decent team will make a change from failing to win away at Swansea, Newcastle, West Brom, Bournemouth, Southampton, Brighton, West Ham. Stoke, Watford and Leicester last season. On the other hand we haven’t exactly had a great record against decent teams the last few years either.

Stop trying to defend Wenger’s record over the last couple years – it’s indefensible.

Your argument that Wenger is better than Emery is so flawed.
Wenger took over a team with the best defense in the PL, even he wasn’t dumb enough to mess with that until he got high on his own ego!
Compare that to the Star Wars bar of players Emery inherited.

You telling me Adams and Co are equal to Mustafi and Co? Because for a fair comparison we need an equal baseline!

VIC I too last season was celebrating every arsenal loss. For me, every victory we had increased the chances of another contract for Wenger and I had already seen what he was all about a decade ago. The last couple of seasons have been agony for any fan with any ability to look at things objectively. We were going absolutely nowhere under wenger and we were showing no signs of progress and were even in decline as the rest of the league caught up with our early head start. Sometimes, things have to get bad before they get good again,… Read more »

Marc Of course we are getting better results than we were last season, and of course this constitutes improvement. No one here is challenging this as far as I can tell. However, some of the legitimate questions that are being asked by some of us at moment are: aside from playing with more energy and desire, is there anything else Emery seems to have improved in the team thus far? Are we better in attack? If so, how so? Are we better defensively? If so, how so? Are we better organized, more disciplined? If so, how so? Is our general… Read more »

Actually it’s fairly obvious why some have an issue with this: some people so want to believe that Emery is succeeding and will succeed that they cannot tolerate any questioning of what we’re seeing. This attitude is very similar to the “shut up and support the team” we heard throughout the Wenger years, so it’s pretty hilarious to hear this coming from former WOBs

Would you rather have us playing beautiful football and had lost 7 in a row??

No, but then again it doesn’t have to be either (or) in the grand scheme of things, the brilliancy of a coach is sorting a middle ground and find a balance

Surely there’s more to Emery than just winning with sheer grit, energy and effort,,short term in might be successful but you get found out embarrassingly in a club of arsenals size, arsenal ain’t cut out for such footbal.

I think concerning xhaka and mustafi and even Ozil, Emery is making them fit into his tactics. I’m pretty certain if they don’t manage to improve and live up to their potential, they will be replaced with more suitable players.
He has a vision, he’s seeing what players he can bring into that vision before he gets the chance to tinker with it.
