It’s going to be a tough away day at the worst new stadium in the country. We head east to play WEST Ham. There’s a confusing one for you non-London folk.
Anyway, I’m worried about how our defence is going to hold up tomorrow. On the one hand, I’m excited to potentially welcome back Hector Bellerin, on the other, I’m deeply concerned about how we’re going to deal with Mustafi, Koscielny and Monreal playing together.
Arnautovic is a man-beast and unplayable when he fancies it. Felipe ran rings around us last time he played. Antonio is also more than capable of causing us problems. If you remember last time we played West Ham, we really were lucky not to come away from the game losing. Now Pelligrini has had more time, we should expect just as tough a game as before. Our last 4 away Premier League games have seen 2 draws and 2 loses. We really need to get back on track and it’s imperative we don’t lose more ground on the top 4.
We have a squad as fit as it can be at this stage of the season. Will he play Ramsey? Will he go with two up front away from him? Will he start Auba and Laca? So many questions that need answering.
In other news, Cesc Fabregas has ducked out of the Premier League to join Monaco on a 3 and half year deal. Thierry has dropped a steal there… not quite sure I’d be giving someone with his injury record and pace that money, but whatever. I loved Cesc. One of my all-time favourite Arsenal players. When you talk about attacking footballers playing in a banter team, that was Cesc, and he fucking owned it. No bitching, mincing out or failing to score goals because that’s “not his thing.”
I remember him bursting on the scene with his mullet and rat tail. He looked like he was going to sell you a banging pair of fake Rayban’s, and he defo knew someone who could by you some South African skunk. But as his hairstyles improved, so did his ability to control games on the pitch. He was a revelation, one of the first midfielders of his type in the league. He had no pace, no physical presence, he just had this incredible ability to always find space… and his range of passing was out of this world. Then the goals came… then the interest came.
I don’t want to talk about how he left. I think the strike thing was massively overblown. Really though, who can blame him for going to play in that Barcelona side? It was the greatest of all time. Doesn’t matter that he didn’t really break into it. He went there to win trophies and that’s what he did.
Would I have wanted him back at Arsenal? For sure. We held out for him for a summer and didn’t fill his position because Wenger didn’t want him going to United. He kind of strung us along to get assurance from Barca, then he stayed and was fucked over anyway. We eventually moved hard on Mesut Ozil and that was that. Cesc was over for us.
What a career he’s had regardless. He’s lived in London, Barcelona and now Monaco. I have so much love for how that guy has run his career. A true role model if ever there was one.
Good luck Cesc!
Finally, Bielsa admits to hiding a spy in a bush and there are people out there defending the actions like that isn’t utterly abhorrent behavior. I saw a French publication justify the Leeds managers decision by saying there is no law against spying, and it was basically fine because he was chasing perfection.
Hmmm… pretty sure the police wouldn’t have picked up the perpetrator if there wasn’t something legally dubious about what he was doing. Additionally, don’t be a cu*t and play the strict interpretation of the rules card. Life is not about living by a strict legal code, there’s such a thing as norms, if you think there is anything upstanding in spying because no one thought there was a chance an opposition manager would go to those lengths, you’re full of shit.
Someone could stab someone in the leg before a game and there’d be a dickhead on Twitter lining up to tell you that taming player passion was a bad thing and if we punished the stabbing, it could be the end of the game. Not all opinion is born equal and the internet levels a cesspit of horrific views.
Right, that’s me done, enjoy the West Ham game! x
Pierre
It certainly is. But, nonetheless, don’t you think it’s strange that nothing has been said in the press? It happens for every other player, ceetainly where a big team is concerned. It heightens their profile.
Ozil…a typical wenger player…can look good particularly against average opposition…but like wenger..not the real deal and short of raw fighting spirit.
This is the squad Emery has inherited.
The game at Southampton proved the wenger-built squad wasn’t up for the fight.This is what emery has to work with…a defense composed of error prone players…koscienly should not even be at this club, and mustafi at £35 million is probably the worst buy this club and wenger has made.
On a sidenote – extremely disappointed in Laca’s committment today. He played for 10 mins and in the next 80 he was a shadow. He is the type of forward that never hides, always up for it. Well today he wasn’t. Ramsey was more dedicated to help when he came in that Laca was for a whole game. We know that Auba is a different type of striker so in Laca not pressing and fighting and feeding off of scraps you eliminate his strongest qualities. He needs to work hard to be useful unlike Auba so in him hiding there’s… Read more »

Mourinho is over. He’s a busted flush. I suggest you get over it.

I’m going to wade in on this Ozil debate…
Without Ozil, Rasey or (dare I say it..) Miki, what do we have in terms of creativity? Iwobi bowling forwards or a few crosses from Kolasinac or Bellerin? Guendozi and Torreria are the holding , DF mids we’ve needed but now we have 0 creativity.
As for Dick Emery….not for me.
@Un na naai
“Eduardo was fucking unreal”
Yes he was so unreal he managed to score a whopping 4 goals in 17 apps before his leg got snapped lol.
Bamford and his dedication to absolving Kroenke of anything at all is always so so funny to watch….Almost like how most thought Wenger couldn’t do any wrong
Steve
Boring tiles won by holding out against Bolton or flair and beauty and the best sides the league has seen?
In Milan here, they call Arsenal the new Ac Milan……stuck with a stupid owner and bang average players and a fan base that is so deluded they think any manager at all can turn the pile of shit here into a well oiled machine

Have a look at how much he spent at man utd.
They were worse than us under him. Therefore, what makes you think with our current squad and no money, Mourinho could even get us top four let alone win anything?

Arsenal fans like to bicker and fight over the most stupid and mundane of things…take for example the endless mind numbing Ozil debates on here, unless everyone comes together in unison to accept that we are being badly run which is almost impossible when you see people here still say Kroenke shouldn’t be blamed then we are heading even further downhill.
If i were Emery, I’d accept defeat and resign immediately, let’s see what magical manager many on here think can turn this shower of shit into any resembling a good team
A few more bad loses .
If we go out of Europa cup
and loose any viable chance
of Champions league qualification.
And spend no money.?
I can see this Kroenke debate turning very toxic.
God bless America since trump made it great again
Make Mexico great again!
Batistuta You don’t have to be a wizard, magician, or someone like Pep with half a billion dollars to spend to figure out what’s wrong with the team. DEFENSE. Plain, and simple. BHA lost to Pool 1-0. We got spanked 5-1. We make teams like Soton, and West Ham look like title contenders. Stop the rot in the back, and the results will follow. Unfortunately, Emery is incapable of doing so. The myth that he inherited a poor squad is just that, a myth. We were scoring goals for fun this and last season, and were only second to City.… Read more »

It must be ozil.

Players are human maybe very rich people but they still have emotions .
Upstate
Your last two words were “I think” so you don’t know same way we all don’t know what any other manager could have done with this squad that has more error prone players than teams in the championship. I’m not an Emery guy, i personally feel we need someone more steady but there is a reason why no other manager worth his salt was interested in the Arsenal Job oh and as for outscoring everyone bar City last season, didn’t we finish 6th or something
And our Defense, unless and without any significant investment in that part of the field, it doesn’t matter who the gaffer is, Mustafi will still go sliding in like a dumbo and Kolasinac wouldn’t start knowing how to defend or Koscienly’s legs wouldn’t still be gone or Bellerin wouldn’t still know how to defend or Maitland Niles wouldn’t stop being shit and Monreals legs wouldn’t still be gone too. Hope you get my point now upstate
I’m not saying emery is wrong man.
On the countary
He needs a squad of players he wants a chairman who backs him
Gazdisas an wenger had a royal laugh in the last 6 months,..
Knew they were both off so they lined there pockets an slipped off.
Our defence is worse than last season.
Considering Wenger completely lost the dressing room…
Considering Emery bought 5 defensively biased players….
Considering we are creating far less chances…
It takes a pretty terrible manager to actually make this defence worse.
The Spanish Pulis has been found out.
Gambon
You don’t think you’re being a bit harsh there? Or is it purposeful hyperbole?
You know where I sit , and what my issues/reservations are but how would you have seen the summer handled? You fancied Emery beforehand after all.
Batistuta
Of course, it’s “I think”. No one knows for sure how things would be under a different manager. Yes, we did finish in 6th place last season, my point exactly. Our offense needed very little tweaking. Our defense, however, was shambolic. Somehow Emery managed to make it worse. Agree with you on your players assessment for the most part but that is why Emery was hired, and it’s his job to make those players better. He had a full preseason and a transfer window to figure out what he wants and needs. Again, he failed.
Charlie
I wanted Emery. I was one of the few on here that mentioned him before it was in the public domain.
I was wrong.
In terms of underlying performance, shots, shots against, xG and xGA we have regressed.
Considering Wenger completely deteriorated in the last few years that’s some feat to actually make them worse.
Absolutely agree with anyone that says our players aren’t good enough…however the managers job is to improve performances, not just buy new players.
There have been far too many utterly bizarre decisions.
One of the few positives today was that Sokratis looked better, back to his more solid looking performances. I really think we need to pair him with Mavropanos and see what happens. I know he is young for a CB but I really don’t think he can do any worse than Mustafi or Kozz short of killing someone in the crowd. If it works we may have ourselves a very good CB, he is a Mislintat scout after all. If he doesn’t work out we either get ourselves a squad player with more experience now or we know we can… Read more »
Batistuta Agreed. I softened my position slightly, regarding Kroenke earlier in the season- not because I think he is in any way the right owner for arsenal, but because with a new manager and back room team I thought it might be possible for arsenal to compete IN SPIGHT of Stan’s shortcomings. Difficult, probably unlikely but possible. However, seeing the return of a zero transfer budget this January and the likelihood that he will load more debt on to the club- he can do that now he is sole owner- I have returned to my original position concerning our silent,… Read more »
I’m not the biggest fan of throwing players into positions they don’t play, one of my pet hates was always people saying Vermaelen could be a CDM for us or some other CB, but does anyone think it is at all possible for Kolasinac to play LM for us?

I realise he would be missing key parts of a LMs game, but he has improved with taking people I think and he is most dangerous on the edge of the… Read more »

Spanish Pulis? You probably mean Moyes. Pulis would have done a much better job. Honestly, I can’t stand the guy anymore. From his shitty English that I don’t understand to his shitty team selections and formations that I understand even less.

As for how I would’ve handled the summer…
Firstly I would’ve signed an attacking midfielder. I respect that Emery wanted to give everyone a chance, but everyone said our wide players weren’t good enough. Unai apparently watched 1000s of hours of our games but didn’t see it.
I would’ve sold a lot more and just signed 2-3 very good players, not 5 so so players.
Not to mention the absolute farce in deciding not to sell Ramsey and Welbeck, but also not the them down.
Having said all that, I do see the validity in just keeping Emery for the next 18 months.
At the end of the day Raul and Sven are probably more important than Emery for the next few transfer windows.
We need to unwind our bad decisions, then make some smart purchases.
Once we have the structure of the squad right, we can get in a better manager than the Spanish Pulis.
However you can’t help thinking 5 years of EL football will be devastating for the club.
We will be behind even Spurs financially by then.
Wise words:

“Something ain’t right at the club …It must be ozil”
Of course it is ,let’s blame the one person who has missed our last 4 defeats.
gambon Welbeck came back late fro there world cup and apparently was “injured” . He declined a transfer request from Southampton. We didn’t have killer instinct to get him out. Ramsey led the team by nose and dragged negotiations beyond the deadline. I thinks Arsenal also sent double messages too naming him as a club captain. Elneny didn’t go because he liked living in London. In fairness, Gazidis was still in charge and was publicly dithering about the AC Milan offer. The uncertainty about Gazidis leaving made the summer business more difficult. It was a chaotic summer for us with… Read more »

CA “but does anyone think it is at all possible for Kolasinac to play LM for us?” He played quite a few matches for Schalke at LM so why not. One thing is for sure he is never going to be seen as a top LB in the league because he is not good enough defensively. If Arsenal want a fast direct winger in the team that can put in accurate crosses in more often than not then they should be looking at Manuel Lazzari from SPAL. He fits the market Arsenal will be playing in now and could turn… Read more »

Emery isn’t head of recruitment, its Sven. I also don’t think Emery has the power to sell players, that’s Raul and Sven.
The best Emery can do as regards sales of players is freeze them out.
Summer signing that is Lazzari.
The club is dying if nor dead.
Thebyankee dollar is dried up.

They should be also looking at Kerem Demirbay of Hoffenheim in the summer as well.
Gambon Yea I concur with pretty much all you’ve said there. Wasn’t a lover of the activity in the summer when all said and done, was willing to say ‘fair enough’ were we to bag Dembele at the 11th hour but it went south quick without that. Personally I would’ve liked more transparency from the club in outlining our ambitions and aims over the next few seasons. Again, personally I’d have gone for a more anti-Wenger manager if headed down the uninspiring choice of managers.

Gambon I think that is exactly the thought process. He is a safe and experienced pair of hands while the club undergoes massive change and modernising. We need to chop that £250 Million wage bill. We need to overhaul this squad. We need to sort our loan system out and youth production as a source of first team and cash resources.

Absolutely travesty – that Gazidas felt fit Emery was our best bet as manager-after Wenger.
We have no identity.

No other club in the world would have done this to a respected and loyal
Totally ashamed of the actions of these two Raul/Emery.
All because Emery wants Banega.

totally shameful.
Samesong
” hey budWhat do you think of that Chillwell chap at Leceister?”
Yeah he looks good. Assured on the ball and good dribbler. Needs to improve defensively cause he switches off from time to time but you can put that down to his young age. Would Arsenal be the place to see him improve defensively? lol because he doesn’t need much working on from the attacking perspective.
Leicester would also want quite a tidy sum for him.
CA
Playing Kolasinac as a winger is Eboue all over again and a terrible idea.
If Emery wants a winger (and he should want one) he should be telling Sven and Raul to get him one.
By now, Emery should know those in his medium to long term plans and anyone not in it should be on gone even if we are selling for a bucket of KFC nuggets.
The club needs to get ruthless.
I have to say that I am in full agreement with the way Emery hasn’t treated Ozil.
He doesn’t deserve another even an ounce of indulgence. Wenger used to give him special treatment, same as Sanchez.
Our way back to playing like a top club doesn’t involve Ozil, his huge pay check notwithstanding.
Chilwell would be my choice of LB
I feel however that we are going to try and find cheap options in most positions with maybe 1 big name £50m player.
I would just rip it up, sell everyone and start again with talented, physically impressive, younger talents.
Apart from Leno, Sokratis, Holding, Bellerin, Torreira, Guendouzi and Auba I’d sell everyone. Probably keep Iwobi as a squad player
Sell everyone, promote kids and restart things from scratch.
Give Willock, ESR, Nelson, Amaechi, Saka and Nketiah their chance.

I disagree regards Ozil.
I really don’t like Ozil, everyone knows that.
However if there isn’t an end goal to this, then it’s a ludicrous decision to drop him.
We had 3 full backs on the bench today. The idea that Monreal is a better bench option than Ozil is ridiculous.
We either sell him or play him. Simple as that.
If there is a real chance we can shift him then I’m fine with this.
If not then it serves no purpose.
It’s not like were seeing a hard working, pressing team.

and our useless, greedy leech of an owner. You must see that now, surely.
What evidence have u – he is greedy?
This transfer team have to show much more imagination and pluck in the transfer market now than ever before.
No more stop gap signings. No more signing players on the back of how many international caps they have.
They need to identify up and coming players with attributes this team is screaming out for or players that are seen as “late” bloomers. Late bloomers are quite young themselves in this day and age. If you are not a superstar footballer at 23 years of age you are written off it seems.
They have to be braver in the market.
@Gambon “We had 3 full backs on the bench today. The idea that Monreal is a better bench option than Ozil is ridiculous.” I thought I read that Licht is on the bench also. When we were chasing the game, we had Licht on the bench. What a joke! We were told that Emery studied every opponent very well before each game. WestHam played with 3 CMs and we played with two. No wonder we couldn’t advance the ball through the midfield. I start to have doubt with Emery’s judgement. Auba’s strength is in the box. Today Emery played him… Read more »

Wise words indeed from the American fan: nothing will improve at Arsenal until Stan Kroenke is gone. Arsenal is a money-making investment for him, nothing more No surprise: Kroenke’s record here and in the States speaks loud and clear. He won’t sell the Club unless it starts losing money. And for years it has been making him richer by paying off the stadium debt. We can make that change, we can make Arsenal into a money-losing Club. Or rather, we need only threaten to make it into a money-loser. That will have him gone. Another possibility is that he may… Read more »

Upon further reflection, you’;re right about the Ozil stuff.
The team has eased off the pressing is it’s unfair to single out Ozil.
Auba and Laca were both pedestrian today, didn’t put any effort on.
The club are still trying for Suarez which suggests that Ozil is not going to be welcomed back with any sort of long term thinking.
We’re signing a CAM on loan when we have one who has been rested for half of the season so far earning £350 000 a week, supposedly our best player. That just tells you everything.
I don’t know how but if that’s the decision then get rid of Ozil. Even if it is on loan paying half his wages or something which I how I always thought this would end.
Cesc Appeal
“The club are still trying for Suarez which suggests that Ozil is not going to be welcomed back with any sort of long term thinking.”
Maybe not by Emery but I’m sure he will be by our new manager.
Suarez shows good drive on the ball.
Would certainly give the midfield a much needed physical aspect to it as he gets around the pitch and unlike Ozil and Xjaka he is also decent behind and off the ball.
Would be interested in a loan now and buy in the summer if it meant seeing the back of the “specialists” Ozil and Xjaka.
Suarez is a 6 so him arriving is a threat not just to Ozil but Xjaka as well.
Everyone is putting Suarez in at ACM. I think he is better employing as a CM.
Ishola I’ve heard a few people say that, it may be then that he is deployed as a CM/CAM in similar fashion to Bernardo Silva at City with Torreira and Guendouzi/Xhaka in the midfield. The only thing is Emery did say he wanted a winger and a CB. So perhaps he is thinking of using him as a RM? When Mkhitaryan returns in February we could potentially have more balance and more effective on ball work with them both in the team. Going back to what we said earlier, I would also give Kolasinac a go at LM in that… Read more »
Mavropanos is starting for the U23s on Monday. The coaches though have plans for him in the first team and are getting him sharp as quickly as possible.
Makes sense.
Kozz just looks done and Mustafi is never going to change.
Worrying times indeed, just 3 points above United now who have a game in hand.
You know that it’s bad when you’ve given up on catching those Spud cunts and are actively hoping that they do you a favour against United.
Cesc Appeal “I’ve heard a few people say that, it may be then that he is deployed as a CM/CAM in similar fashion to Bernardo Silva at City with Torreira and Guendouzi/Xhaka in the midfield.” His best looking attribute is running with the ball from central midfield. The criticism of him in the past is that he can lack the killer instinct further up especially goal threat. I’d be very happy with him at Arsenal playing CM in front of Torreira and driving the team forward from CM position. For CAM I’d prefer a player with much more goal threat… Read more »

Ishola It is a massive responsibility playing that CM role next to Torreira, we’ve seen how much Torreira has suffered having to do the work for Xhaka so Suarez would have to be responsible and live up to the physicality of the EPL. I cannot get over how bad Xhaka was today. He was given a break as well, a real one, went on holiday and rested. He looked so off the pace.

Would be great if big Per could take over Rauls job too.Get some Arsenal people with arsenal blood running in their veins- in charge.Immediately morale – would be lifted.
And a contract for hopefully captain RamboOzil will be eased rightly back into the first team too
The mutterings of an imbecile

If i said something akin last year.
I want :
Emery as manger

U would have called me an imbecile then too!
CG There is no manager that could have cleaned up the mess wenger left And if emery doesn’t work, he’ll be gone. Wenger and Gazidis have set this club so far back.

Play came to
West ham
Ozil can fuck off.
