Emery tries a banter too real to be funny

by .

“For us we don’t want to play against Liverpool ever,”

You F*CKING wot mate?

“We’d prefer not to play against them.

Oh, I see… just one of those joke things. SHEATH YOUR VERBAL SWORD.

“That is really our challenge, a good test. For the supporters, for all of us, going there with six points is good. Really our target is to reduce the distance to Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea.”

I have to say, I’m not looking forward to this one. Emery may have been bantering us harder than my dad does when he sees me wearing rolled-up jeans, ‘Look at those jack-ups you c*nt’, but be honest, the last thing we need at this stage of the season is a trip to Liverpool.

That said, there’s no better way to iron out the kinks and gain some focus in the squad than going to one of the best sides in the world.

I don’t think they are fully up to speed at the minute. I watched a chunk of the Southampton game and I tells ya, there could have been a very different outcome had Hassenhutl’s men taken a few of the very good chances they made for themselves.

Emery went into more detail about his plan.

“We are going to prepare first with the adaptation to them, their gameplan and individual players and after to impose our gameplan and capacity. We are going to prepare both defensively and offensively.

“I think first is to be positive in our capacity and then work hard. I know my past is to work hard, the present and future is going to be the same. After we can win, we can lose. But above all is be positive and keep moving ahead.”

Prattling on about hard work and the literal basics of setting up for a football game is all well and good, but this year, I’d love to see some of that research pay off during the games. How is the manager going to convert video analysis insights into something spectacular on the pitch?

Big questions are going to be had around the starting 11. Would he dare play Matteo and Willock against such a brutal side? Will he fall back on old faces, namely Granit Xhaka. Will he insist on playing out the back, despite the clear evidence the team struggles to make it work, even against shite teams?

Will we baton down the hatches? Or will we exercise some of that newfound mobility in the side?

There needs to be a progression of thinking this season. The squad has improved, the ideas have settled, so Liverpool should be the first chance to see if we’ve shaken the demons of the H2 of the Emery era.

One man who is dreaming big is David Luiz.

“In life you have to believe,” said the 32-year-old. “If you don’t try things you are never going to know if you can do it or not.

“My philosophy on life is to be positive and to be a dreamer. But understand to dream is one thing and to achieve your dream you have a lot to do.

“I can dream and we can fight for something big. That is always going to be my speech to everyone – it is possible for us and everybody.

“It is up to the team, the team is going to dream more, the team is going to prepare better, understand the game and that is it.”

David Luiz must be well aware that we have a very good squad this year, otherwise, he wouldn’t have joined. We have depth, we have quality and we have a few youngsters that could make the jump. Not title-winning, but for me, why shouldn’t we be challenging the top 3 with our squad?

We don’t have the Champions League to deal with like Spurs.

They tanked the back half of the season because of that trophy.

They basically have the same group of players.

With Chelsea fizzling out again after a good start and United looking limited, we really should be shooting for top three this season.

Right?

Am I being too aggressive?

Let me know in the comments you sexy beauties. x

This would be the cherry on top of the summer window, needs to be an obligation to buy though otherwise they’ll just send him back here next year.

We actually played with a back 4 in both games against Liverpool last season. The anfield one had Kolasinac, Mustafi and Lichtsteiner in the back 4. Yikes

PhD Sorry mate, just caught up with your comments. I agree with your assessment and of course there’s an element of hope that with the squad we now how we’ll see something blossom. There’s simply a large slice of doubt there because my own view is that we should’ve already seen a framework or outline of what we’re aspiring to be about – certainly against lesser sides. As you see from the usual voices it’s being rewritten as a suggestion we should go to Anfield without a care for them as an opponent, focusing on just ourselves. Because that’s what’s… Read more »

I said some time back that a lot of people would be disappointed with Nelson….I watched him alot during his purple patch with hoffeinham and he didn’t convince me.For a winger he doesn’t dribble that much even though he has pace….he is more of someone who is suited to get on the end of things in the box not create them with his running.I would compare his playing style with dries mertens

Freddie Ljungberg

We also had Iwobi and AMN on the wings and Xhaka and Walkabout Ramsey in midfield.

Prattle on about tactics and formations all you want but that team was garbage, the only senior player we had on the bench that could come on and help was Laca and a broken down Kos.

Totally different prospect now, they still have the better team but the difference in quality isn’t leagues apart.

Marko

Some folk exist for maintaining a status quo, and others are restless for more, always scrutinising details to find improvement. Clear to see who those are on here, and day to day quite frankly.

Pepe is a must at Anfield because the most realistic chance of getting a result is to get back behind the ball and look for counters and with his pace can be a weapon in that department. One uptop that being Auba, Pepe on one side of offense and Kola perhaps on the other. Kola is mentioned because although he is not good defensively as fullback you would at least expect him to get back and give assistance to Monreal. Pepe showed in his first match that he can get up and down the flanks pretty easily. The offensive wide… Read more »

ESR with another goal for the u23s, really nice solo goal if you haven’t seen it yet.

He’s too good for that level now, hopefully he gets to play in the cups until January and then it’s time to decide if we’re going to loan him out or not, probably depends on if we can shift Ozil or not.

Valentin

There is a middle ground between never prepare for the opposition a la Wenger and only prepare for the opposition a la Emery.

Against top team, to be more defensive is a smart move. Playing counter-attack football against Brighton when we clearly have the better players is just plain daft.

It is all well and good trying to nullify clearly superior opponents, however what is our plan against like you say the 2/3 tier teams or as I would say, the bottom feeders. If we were playing Newcastle at home this weekend I would like to see an attacking 4-3-3 however what would be the betting that Emery would over analyse Newcastle’s best strengths as a priority. I do like the willingness to adapt to opponents because that is something we rarely saw at all during Wenger’s latter years, however sometimes… Read more »

Emery certainly has a personality which doesn’t readily command immediate respect as a manager of a top PL team. His weakness in English must be a key reason. He has screwed up big by admitting he is shit-scared of Liverpool.

Pepe has played two already but why is he being used so sparingly by the other 19 players even when the game is ON? As if Pepe is the 12th man on the pitch.

This kid-glove approach is not at all encouraging. I guess Emery will drop him
against Liverpool.

“Anyways, you all are pinning for clueless Emery to go after this summer,so why then do you want him to establish a philosophy?”

They don’t actually want one Dani, just stacking up on the reasons why he has to go.

Unai Emery has been plodding along like an amateur for years now is the common theme, yet somehow keeps landing jobs and has 10 career trophies to his name, as Tuchel proved last season winning everything available in France isn’t as easy as it sounds

Emery has not been able to WOW us. I winder if he can ever do. Its true, as someone pointed out – not much to choose between Wenger 2.0 and Emery yet. No perceptible diff of style of in attack. Rather our attack is more boring than Wenger’s last 18 months.

Emery needs to address Arsenal counter-attacking woes. There are hardly more than a couple all 90 minutes.If he can sort
that out by ensuring there’s one every 10 mins, he can keep this job for a while.

Sometimes its also good to sit back and hit them on the break….

We know Pool will come at us… why risk attacking them as well? soak the pressure and counter attack when we can

Plus Charlie I agree that Wenger brought us some of the best football ever witnessed in England with arsenal…but some of the most embarrassing results in the PL are also attributed to him.Why don’t we let unai instill a sense of tactical discipline in a side which tbf lacked any in Wenger’s last years before building on that and establishing a philosophy by him or whoever manager guys here fancy?

peanuts&monkeys

DANIALTOS: You aren’t alone. Both AMN and Bellerin are poor attacking RBs.

AMN can still defend a little and can execute some incredibly diff tackles once in a while; Bellerin is poorer defender.

Arsenal shd stick to AMN than Bellerin.

Counter attacks are all well and good but this team has a way of messing it up by picking the wrong pass or moving the ball too slowly

Take the Pepe Auba counter at the end, all Pepe needed was to play the pass nicely weighted ahead of Auba and not pass the ball into him, Auba’s run also left a lot to be desired, the way he shaped his run did not encourage a pass in front of him..pretty basic stuff i expect pro’s on millions a year to master

“The selective amnesia stuff is becoming a bit of a go to for you too, used that on me recently about me ‘never admitting being wrong on anything’ or some shite.”

Dissenter moments ago to Receding about me:

“The said poster (CC) will never concede a wrong. You will have more luck watching pain dry to get any decency out of CC.”

I’m not calling him predictable or anything…. 😴

“Emery has managed Arsenal in 60 competitive matches. He has made a halftime substitution in 20 of them”

If you feel something is not working you change it.

Only stat that counts is he won 38, drew 8 and lost 15

We would love that won column to appreciate, that’s all that counts to me. Keep winning games, the players should be addicted to winning anyway necessary not pretty patterns on the pitch

“We used to get along until I got tired of witnessing the unending bullying of Bamford, so I told you what I thought of you. If I had to do it…I’ll do it all again you. Standing up to your nonsense was exhilarating. You pseudo-intellectual babbling gets really boring very quickly.”

“You’re the one calling someone else a “moron” because he beat you an an argument, not me.“

Beat me in an argument? You mean disagreed with my view? He didn’t even understand what was being argued, so kudos to him for “beating me”.

Is that how you “owned” me earlier too? Just said something in opposition of what I said?

Some judge you are.

Oi Pedro, Oat milk is for fannies, consider yourself mega pwned. Did you see that guys? Absolutely rekt Pedro there.

Yea you just feel Pool are there for the taking if we can cut out the mistakes at the back and get at that defence as much as we can, Emery also has to not do the 3-5-2 thing, it doesn’t work… A back 4 and a compact midfield with Auba and Pepe up front doing the pressing.

Game is going to be won and lost on the flanks though, how much we restrict Robertson and TAA will determine the result

Tondela to win 2-1 tonight over in the Portuguese league, get on that if you can

Batistuta that Ings miss at the end was bad, they easily could have drawn that game

Receding

Yea that’s a correct score bet.

I caught the Southampton game and pool were very very lucky to come out with all 3 points though you can say they looked jaded after the super cup and they’d have had 1 week to prepare for us but like i said, game is there to be won or at least leave with a point if we can just not go there with PTSD

Q&A

Interviewer:How did Federer do in the Wimbledon Final 2019?
Camel-Toe:-Should have retired.

Interviewer:What do you think about Ozil & Kola’s situation with the moped crew,given their wives were in the back of the car?

Camel Toe:Ozil is a pussy,he should not defend the honour of the wives,and instead should have sacrificed his life and that of Kol,thus putting everyone in a perilious state.That’s a man.Would have respected him more.

Interviewer:What colour is the sky?
Camel Toe:You tell me?

Interviewer:Blue
Camel Toe:No,It’s pink-like my camel-toe!!

Always loved a nutmeg and Pepe’s nutmeg on Ben Mee at the weekend was as good as it gets . I’ve even heard commentators question if he meant it…..fools. To leave a professional footballer stranded on the pitch totally perplexed at what just happened to him is a classic piece of skill. The nutmeg is a perfect way to take a defender completely out of the game, the speed of thought and skill from Pepe was exceptional and for him to have the confidence to produce such a move so early in his first home game is a good sign… Read more »

Great analysis RE: Aubameyang on the first page.

If Pepe keeps nutmegging people then he better be ready to ride some rough tackles, some of it will be deserved.
I think nutmegs without any end results is disrespectful. If you’re nutmegging another player to get a better show, no problem but if it’s to draw an applause line then it’s disrespectful to the opposition. If a deft pass can beat the player then by all means pass the ball.. not humiliate him.

if you don’t wanna be nut megged close your legs, it’s a football pitch not a brothel dissenter
