Emery needs to bring the problem children in from the cold

by .

Arsenal came out of the West Ham debacle without a win in 5 away Premier League games. A truly miserable statistic that capped off another Emery disaster class.

We’re rapidly moving into a new territory where it’s not just the defence, the stagnant attack and the lack of style that are proving to be embarrassing. Now the big talking points seem to be centered around how badly he’s managing two of his best players. Mesut Ozil is no doubt a massive whopper behind the scenes, he’s tough to deal with, he’s precious and he can be incredibly uninterested (according to my sources). I’m sure that’s irritating, as it would be at any club, but that’s Emery’s reality. His most expensive player, who doesn’t want to leave, is annoying. That means it’s the managers’ job to work out a way of motivating him, to find a position that works and to get him into a side that is desperately lacking quality in the final 3rd.

Same for Aaron Ramsey. Our midfield lacks anyone who can run with the ball, it has no spark, it is essentially art free. Who gives a fuck if the Welshman is going to Juve? Give him a start. Work out a way of slipping him into the system. Can he be greedy? Yes. Does he infuriate sometimes? Yes. Is he capable of creating magic? Yes. Then fucking play him.

Emery’s stubbornness with his approach has gone from admirable to ignorant. That performance yesterday was the first time I’ve seen Arsenal feel sorry for themselves. The players don’t look like they understand the merits of the system they’re playing in and it’s absolutely clear whatever the coach is telling them isn’t working.

We are a slave to a system that doesn’t have the right players to work. Why would you not look at the best players you have at your disposal and build an approach that allowed them to flourish.

Lacazette and Auba don’t work in the same side together, or at least the way Emery is trying to work it. Guendouzi and Xhaka is the real axis of evil on this planet, it’s too ponderous, and it’s desperately lacking in power and pace. Our approach from wide positions is rank average. I know people think Iwobi is the second coming of Hleb (aim low), but his final ball and touch is not up to scratch. It doesn’t matter that he was the best attacking player we had yesterday, if anything, that compounds the issue. We have two of the best finishers in the world and they’re not getting chances in front of goal. Yesterday, we were clueless moving the ball forward, we started resorting to long balls. We couldn’t muster a single shot after the 67th minute when we were chasing a game.

The goal was ridiculous as usual. Granit Xhaka, the last man standing of our 5 captains opted to head the ball to a West Ham player from the front post. It wasn’t untypical of Xhaka to drop a fucking howler in a game, it was just unusual that it was so amateur. We can’t even offer style in our fuck ups.

LT and Rambo made a difference when they came on. The ball started moving up the pitch, we were more of a threat, West Ham sat back a little more, but it was to no avail.

Here’s the crazy thing about the West Ham team. Pelligrini took over an absolute shit show of a side. He’s given them a style and purpose, he had a group of shite defenders rocking an offside trap so tight, George Graham would have firmed up watching it. He had players pressing and taking individual responsibility. Felipe Anderson, a player who caused us issues all afternoon was doing loads of dogs bodywork. Why? Because the manager convinced him that the team was more important than his feelings.

We’re now 7 months into the project. Our shots per game average is the lowest its been over the course of the last 18 years, our defence makes Brexit look organised, and we’re still no nearer having a footballing identity. What makes this last month even worse is looking at the general intensity of the team, it seems like we’ve dropped off massively, there was next to no pressing yesterday and we simply didn’t look at the races. West Ham bullied us all game. Factor in the hike in injuries we’ve seen this season and the picture doesn’t look rosy.

The manager needs to sharply improve what we’re seeing on the pitch with the players he has if he wants to avoid serious questions being asked about his continued tenure in the summer.

Good coaching fixes defences. There is no excuse for what we’re seeing here, especially as he bought the keeper, the center back and the defensive midfielder (forget Lichtsteiner). We’re struggling with absolute basics like proper clearances and balls over the top. There are too many individual errors and not enough know-how between the players. This can’t continue.

We have no sauce moving the ball forward. We’re very one dimensional in our approach. We’re easily rattled with a press. We’re predictable. The opposition knows if the ruffle Xhaka, there’s very limited ability for us to move the ball forward. We have a shot at fourth, it’s a long one, but the manager needs to put his ego in his pocket and work out a way of integrating Ozil and Ramsey more often. We’re paying for caviar, and dipping our belini’s into Branston pickle. It’s getting ridiculous now. Make it work.

Emery needs to imprint a style on the team. That’s hugely important. Who are we? What do we want to be? What are the players supposed to be doing? What are the fans getting excited about? Even in Wenger’s darkest days, he was trying to offer something up. Remember that United game at home that we lost last season? Some of the most scintillating football of the last 5 years, a game we lost because of a De Gea masterclass. Emery should be able to give us more than 1 good game in a season (Spurs, fatigued). I’m not pining for him, I’m merely pointing out that there was an attempt at something even when we were shite.

It is not insanity to be talking this way. It is not taking a controversial position for the sake of it. It is making sure the expectations at Arsenal football club are always sky high, because you know what, we are in a fucking dangerous position as a club. This Emery tenure is going to be as bland as a ham sandwich, of that there is no doubt. The big issue is what comes next… the fans will demand a winner, just like they did at United, then we could quickly fall into absolute mediocrity with no way out. We have an owner who can see clear as day that it doesn’t matter what he does with Arsenal, commercials grow exponentially, so do gate receipts. There is no reason to act.

That shouldn’t mean we give up. Arsenal can’t spend the next 5 years leaning on the excuse crutch of Arsene Wenger and Ivan Gazidis. Time to put that shit behind us and time to take aggressive actions towards pulling ourselves back up to the elite levels of the game. That means making ruthless decisions. Cutting expensive players to raise cash, bringing in a coach with special sauce, and doing everything possible to make every fucking penny count.

We can climb again, but only if people are honest about where we are and what we have to do to climb to the top again.

… and here’s the thing, being honest with the fans is a fucking good start. Emery said there are no players, I bitched for 5 minutes, then accepted it. If the club came out and said, look, Champions League is a 3 year job, and here’s how we’re going to do it.

We’re going to slash the wage bill. It’s too expensive. That means you might see some of your faves go.

We’re going to build the greatest club on the planet to be at if you’re a young elite player. We’re bringing in the best 17-23 year olds and we’re going to grow them into superstars.

We’re going to hire in the most exciting developmental coaches on the planet. We’re going to play the football of 2027. These are coaches that will train their minds and bodies. We’re in the business of making superstars.

That means we’re shooting to sell these players so we can start investing in the team with bigger bets, just like Liverpool. Our advantage over them is we are Arsenal and we’re based out of London.

Would you get behind that? I would. It’d be better than attempting to fight with the big boys when you’re 5ft2 with a gammy leg.

Back to the now.

Emery has a lot of work to do. If he takes the club backwards after spending £70m in the summer, we should try something new, because this is Arsenal, not PSG. There won’t be an Mbappe and Neymar purchased to cope with tanking a season. We’ll be removing talent. Our manager has to show that he can improve what he was left, because though it wasn’t pretty, it was nowhere near the disaster made out.

We are better than this. We should not be writing off regression as part of the transition. The only way is up, always. Don’t accept anything less, because the dark demons of medicority are circling the club, and if we let them in, it’s a long fucking way back.

You’re both woefully out of touch if you don’t understand any fan celebrating a cup final win at Wembley.

You can sober up and reflect days later, but cup finals and league titles are what it’s all about.

Fighting relegation. Would be the perfect end to the losers career

Some fans are so full of hate for some people, such a Özil, Wenger and Gazidis that they will blame them for everything. SATURDAY’S GAME WAS LOST BECAUSE OF EMERY. Anybody who genuinely think that Arsenal needs an injection of 250 millions pounds of talent to beat WestHam is seriously deluded. A good coach works with the players he currently has, not the one he wants. With ManUtd currently flying, Top 4 may be already gone, 6th seems more likely.

He should have gone after the 4-0 destruction of villa …a complete performance from The Arsenal and probably the best football played by any team in a Wembley final in my lifetime.

And yes ,I know it was only villa but I have seen Arsenal lose to Swindon, Leeds twice, ipswich, West ham, Valencia and luton town in cup finals ,so no a cup final is never a given certainty.

Does ManU’s complete turn around in form cast Solskjaer in a good light or Mourinho in a fucking awful one?

It’s not an either / or but I think the weighting is more on Mourinho having lost the plot. Will it affect him getting another job?

Our team is better than West Ham. If our side can’t best West Ham it’s nothing to do with what wenger left it’s the current manager’s failure.

Now united who have had an appalling season are level with us. They’ve sacked their manager beacuse he’s performed so badly but they are level with us. Hardly setting the world alight is he?

He was a bad choice. Just admit it.

Oh my god Pedro on his twitter line is also giving out the Pogba resurrection line in relation to Ozil complete with Ozil celebratory king gif.

Please can we get one thing straight in all this Ozil – Pogba talk.

Ozil is a periphery player. Pogba when he shows his true worth is a complete midfielder. The influence they have individually and on their respective teams is like night and day.

Man United are finally performing relating to their outspend and calibre of players brought in.

You’re friend at “Arsenal Truth” .must be losing credibility as we speak , who will he blame this time for yet another defeat…

It’s normally ozil or Wenger who is at fault if we lose but funnily enough he didn’t give ozil or Wenger any credit for our 22 match unbeaten run , that all went to Emery..

Pierre

Hairline
Can’t be any worse than it is now ,can it…

Criticise me as much as you like but really you know that my predictions for how this season will pan out have been spot on so far.

The next in line for me to be correct is Emery gone before ozil , of which I predicted a number of weeks ago but first Emery needs to play him v Chelsea .

Pierre I hardly think Emery will be sacked .
We have no money to compensate him.

Pierre

Hair line & Joe

There will come a day very soon when the penny will drop ….Emery’s One saviour in the coming matches could be ozil but all that will do is highlight the stupidity of his decision to alienate him.

True …but if the grounds half empty by the end of the season ,kronke may have to put his hand in his pocket and cut his losses.

“Cjampagne charlie back to his Wenger had another title in him under a new owner garbage.“

Something I’ve never said, but sure. The windows miss you, back to it Timmy

Well said Pierre

There’s a few of us who stated in August what a poor choice Emery was and were met with derision. They are still here talking their nonsense !

Charlie George

I honestly can not see how Emery Can turn it around..
The players have no respect for him
Likewise PSG players.
He lacks serious personality and kudos.
Man Utd have won six on the spin

They have league games against Burnley,Brighton, Fulham and Leicester

If Ole hits 10 in a row .
And we are still lacklustre.

The cries for a new manager Or a temporary one in Freddie will be deafening!

James.wood

Pierre .
If Emery was told funds would be available at the outset.
He may walk himself.

Charlie George

James wood
He has spent 70 bloody million
Poch has not spent a dime.

ArsenalTruth West Ham 1 Arsenal 0: Supporter ignorance weighing Emery down Date Sunday, January 13, 2019 at 6:40PM Lots of moaning about the defeat yesterday. Faintly annoying, but I have to detach myself from all the lunacy. First, I completely understand Emery’s line up. The defence is far too shambolic to be playing 4-4-2. Playing a back four would have meant utilising Maitland-Niles and Kolasinac as full backs – both of whom are savagely inept. Seeing as Mustafi and Koscielny are themselves accidents waiting to happen, a flat back four would have put Arsenal at a horrible disadvantage before a… Read more »

You’re making yourself look like a right turnip.

Just admit that kroenke is a big problem for the club. That it’s up to him to hire, fire, award new contracts and to choose how to run the club.
You’re only making yourself look even more silly by refusing to concede.

And a grown man calling for another grown man to be banned from a football blog is beyond pathetic bam.

You should feel embarrassed. If you can’t take the views of others then you shouldn’t be on public discussion forums.

This guy was just unnatural in his ability to find the goal. The most natural goal scorer I’ve ever seen.

Robbie Fowler being no2 for me. Loved fowler.
