Poor old Unai, even Danny Murphy is jumping in with the two footed special.
“Alright, Arsenal had a tight four and it was hard [to break down] but you can’t play against a top team and let them get so high up the pitch so easily in wide areas, especially with the full-backs they’ve got.
“If you go to Liverpool every year and get done, why not try something different? It looked like a system that had been put on a board and they hadn’t worked on it.”
I think the above is a fair point, but honestly, have you watched Liverpool?
Push up against their pace and you’re fucked. Sit deep against their technical prowess and you’re fucked. There are very few ways Emery was going to get out of that game alive with two ghastly errors from his lead center-back.
It’s frustrating that we have to play second fiddle against teams, even after the manager has blown a huge amount of cash, but the reality is we’re still in a rebuilding process… the deeper worry is that even when this squad is settled, I’m not sure peak-Emery is taking it to the promised land. That said, we’re in great company, because United and Chelsea look frail.
For now though, I’m quite content that we executed a fairly ok game plan, against a world-class team.
Spurs on the other hand are not so world-class. Their squad is under attack from clubs around Europe, their two best defenders have had their heads turned and the coach looks utterly furious. I think most people must realise he’s coming to the end of his cycle, if the players feel that, they’re in big trouble this year.
We have to attack their weaknesses this weekend, there’s no better time to get at them.
Let’s see what Unai has to offer.
In other news, it seems like Monreal is going to be granted an exit to Real Soceidad. Interestingly, the club are apparently going to waive the fee so we can land first option on a number of prospects in their ranks. That’s very smart and again, a new type of transfer strategy we’ve not seen before.
Back to the player. I’d be very sad to see the Spaniard go. He’s been an underrated gladiator for Arsenal over the years. He’s reliable, productive and has always had a superb attitude. I think everyone is a little uneasy that Kola is going to be our left-sided option for at least the next 6 weeks.
Rumours are that Tierney doesn’t join full training for at least a month. That’ll mean 2-3 weeks until he rejoins the first team. Then he has to adapt to a faster league. We could be in need of him, so there’s the risk of a rush and return to injury that sets him back again.
It’d also be great if Nacho was mentoring Tierney.
… still, we’ve splurged an horrendous amount of cash this summer, moving people off the wage bill has to be a priority at some point.
GOOD NEWS THAT HOLDING SHOULD RETURN AFTER THE BREAK.
Right, see you in the comments. x

Where are you ya cunt? Stop googling Sancho, you’ll get on the register at this rate pal.
What this all boils down to is we have a poster who claims that Torreira was sitting deep as DM and that was why Arsenal went on their unbeaten run. It’s nonsense. Torreira may have on occasions sat deep in the unbeaten run at certain points in the matches. All players can funnel back deep when under pressure. The unbeaten run had more to do with Arsenal facing more comfortable opponents especially away from home rather than this imaginary Torreira sitting DM delusion. And even if Torreira was sitting deep as DM all the time which wasn’t the case it… Read more »
Torriera is a DM.
Pierre, Picking up from comment you made earlier, as well as in previous blogs, I think that you’ll never be truly happy with Emery, almost regardless of results, and independently of any feeling you may or may not have for Wenger/Ozil. Your ideal football setup has to have a creative CAM (Ozil, Ceballos, whoever) who is unfettered by any tactical or defensive obligations, and who,can float,or,sprint wherever he wants. That player/tactical setup is is now pretty damn rare anywhere, and will rarely be present in any team put together by Emery. Sadly, whoever comes after Emery is also unlikely to… Read more »
Vickingz thinks that if a player is termed a DM it means he sits deep all the time lol.
It was explained to you earlier Vickingz that this is a bit of old fashioned thinking and teams like Liverpool and Man City press as one in midfield including players termed as DMs.

I dare you to name and quote whoever said torreira playing as a sitting dm was why we went on the unbeaten run, I dare you to name the person and bring out the quote. But if you can’t, you mind shutting up?

@silverhawk, he’s not a dm according to ishola and company
Well it wasn’t you Vickingz.

Sitting or not, he’s a DM.

“Against Burnley,
The formation was a 4 3-3”
Sorry to say ,but every tactical analysis of the game has arsenal set up as 4-2-3-1 and Ceballos as the no.10
Ceballos used his position to perfection , sometimes dropping deeper to receive the ball , sometimes going wide , but predominantly he did the damage in the no.10 role .
A superb no.10 performance .
Pierre no. On the premier league’s website and on whoscored, he was a CM in that match.
He’s a standing dm or a moving dm, from not being a dm, the narrative has changed to he’s not a sitting dm. Very soon, we’ll hear he’s a squatting dm. All I know is torreira is a dm and i’ve never said otherwise
But I get where you’re coming from Pierre. He was the one driving the attack. Some would say he was the 10 on that match.
I wouldn’t like Torreira sitting deep as last man at DM anyway and as said if we want this team to improve and develop the whole midfield has got to be capable to press higher up as one. Torreira was praised at Sampdoria for his pressing higher up and he has been noted as having some good matches at international level with Uruguay doing the same. Pierre has said before he wants the fullbacks to drop deep many times during the match. Now he wants a midfielder to play in an old fashioned way and sit deep as DM. Liverpool… Read more »

The formation against Burnley was a 4-2-3-1.
Emery said so during his press conference. He praised Ceballos for his performance as No10. So unless you think that he does not know the formation that he used, you are arguing against Emery.
The fact that Ceballos also dropped deep to receive the ball does not negate that.
Pierre,
The point wasn’t really about Ozil or Emery but about the fact that under Emery, as well as football in general, flee floating CAMs are out of fashion.
Ishola
“Pierre must have secretly loved the Liverpool away match last weekend. Arsenal had nine players behind the ball sitting deep on the edge of their own penalty area for virtually 90 minutes. Pierre heaven it seems.”
Hated it …the one plus point was Pepe, if he hadn’t been on the pitch we would have created nothing.
He has the ability to create something out of nothing.
we gonna kick spurs ass- watch
Charlie Your first line just isn’t true. I’m not the type to document shit but I’m sure I’d easily find loads of comments assigning that very stance to other posters if I wanted to. Of course you or anyone else can easily say, banter, insult, it was facetious, context, whatever, but on the face of it that first statement just isn’t true.

WOB “flee floating CAMs are out of fashion.” Possibly, but fashions change and quality will always be quality. A few years down the line the pressing game may be a thing of the past and a manager may work out a plan to beat the high press.

Luteo I’ll have to disagree with you, there patently are those that find the constant need to defend Emery against even the most reasoned criticism. If you choose to believe that’s not the case then so be it; but just because someone hasn’t said Emery is above criticism doesn’t mean they’ve not acted as though that were the case.

“Nelson“‘Unai’s very positive and always telling you to express yourself”
Express yourself ? That was being frowned upon a little earlier by Jamie ,Marko and RH and now we have our manager telling players to express themselves …quite ironic really
Eddie nikita is doing so well for Leeds in the championship, hope he makes it a permanent move.
“I spoke with him – before coming here – to play like an eight and a ten. Today he started like a ten, but a lot of times he was changing with Willock into the eight position, where he can feel better on the pitch.”
Sounds like he’s seen more and more comfortable as an 8/CM.
@ bob, makes it permanent? Why? Anyways leeds are out of EFL
Nelson Semedo is better than AMN. Without a doubt. For one thing he actually knows what his best position is
Eddie nketiah well get more games time at Leeds.
Dissenter
I knew you would jump all over the “express yourself” line.
You just had to take a nip at that but fair play…point taken.
Pedro
So you’re unconcerned about trying to play tlppy tappy
in our own box ?
Against Liverpool ?
AMN is in a tough spot.
He’s not getting a look-in for his favored position as central midfielder and hes not going to ever be a top RB.
I think he’s too laid back and may be lacking that bit of nastiness required which is why he’s hugging the player who got him sent off.
I bet he’s sold the moment an offer that cannot be refused comes in.
@Dissenter, you are right about amn, it’s been my concern about him. He won’t be the best he could have been
Hill Wood
10 years ago we were accused of playing tippy tappy football in the opposition box and trying to walk the ball in the net .
Now its tippy tappy football in our own box
How times have changed…
I prefer the old way…better for the heart.
I bet he’s sold the moment an offer that cannot be refused comes in.
I bet he doesn’t last much longer as the club improves and progresses.
Charlie I completely concede that there two sides to every coin. Certainly Pedro gets it bad sometimes as the blog owner. I’m sure he’s fine with it though and I do believe he intentionally pokes at readers sometimes to incite discourse. But yeah I just happen to see it differently most of the time. I guess it’s just a difference as to what people think reasonable criticism might be, and it’s especially touchy around these parts because of the whole Wenger drama that carries over into the Emery debate. Who’s to know which of us let’s that affect their opinion… Read more »

Another subtle difference about the Arteta thing you mentioned in regards to Pedro though. Pedro has publicly and longingly shot hearts out of his eyes toward Arteta, so that kind of comment I feel is more apt than anyone assuming any other poster around here has the confidence in Emery to truly take us to the next level, when like you say no one actually feels like that. It’s not the same in terms of this specific example you’ve offered, although I know there are others.
“the ones that didn’t join in the criticism and try to reason otherwise were miscast as some group of Emery supporters when that really has never been the case at all. Maybe I’m just seeing things, don’t think I am, but was just addressing that.“ No, I think maybe that’s fair to suggest generally speaking. I’m speaking more about a handful of the same names who overtly go the other way with it is all – that’s present on both sides of course. On Arteta, I think Pedro merely acts the wind up merchant and plays dotingly to this ridiculous… Read more »
See, this is nice.
Amen CC, spot on as usual.
If Emery goes tomorrow, I’ll have a whole new batch of managers to talk about.
I don’t get why Emery has to invite pressure on us in order to create space behind the opponent when we have better attacking potential than most of these teams. I get it against Liverpool and Man city. But I don’t wanna be seeing us getting outshot by freaking Leicester city of Watford.
It just all seem like he’s being too clever and trying to fix what isn’t broken.
Or Watford *
I’d be willing to bet on a serious note he simply recognised Arteta as a potential future managing giant
Recognized how?
Gold star none the less.
Marko, you use google for your info about what’s happening in football, I speak to people in the game.
Thought the penny dropped when Emery threw you under the bus after breaking Ramsey.
“Amen CC, spot on as usual.”
Wait, wasn’t CC an AKB and Pedro was a WOB? Who would have thought…
I don’t understand why AMN think that his best position is centre of midfield. He has never consistently played there at U21 level or on loan at Ipswich. He may have played 1 or two games there for Arsenal senior team. He used to be a very good right winger. As shown for his goal against Newcastle, he can cross the ball. If he had concentrated on becoming that right winger, he would have taken Mhkitaryan position and we would not have bought Pepe. Sometimes players want to be more involved in the play or have less defensive reaponsibilities. They… Read more »

He can regularly be found as a pundit on beIN Sports in the Middle East.” Taken from daily mail piece today. Odd isn’t it?… Read more »

AMN has some talent but as others have said he seems to lack fire. Too laid back. Used to think the same about Iwobi as well. He looked like he had just got out of bed in some matches.
And to describe AMN as diligent seems way off. That’s why so many get on his back. Because of his non-diligence. His lack of care. Too sloppy in his play too many times. He can have good games and some good pieces of play at times but too many loose pieces of play from him up to this point.
Don
Only Marble complains about the time before 2005, it’s the last 10 years or so that was the problem.
No Daily Mail article is going to change the fact we got progressively worse over the years as squad issues were ignored and great players replaced with good ones and good players replaced with mediocre ones.
“Ceballos is a Madrid player.”
And Ozil is a Fortnite player.
Good morning btw.
Freddie
We were in a much better state under wenger and spending much much less in 2011-2012 than we are under emery now with a far better squad.
It was post RvP where things really went south and we were still finishing 3rd and 2nd then too.
I agree he had to go but to continually call the man a moron
Don That was before Man City became dominant and Liverpools resurgence, Spurs were a midtable team then too, there’s just more competition now. Still you’re talking 7 years ago, the squad only got worse year on year until it ended up the weak, aging, broken mess that Emery got handed last year. The squad looks much better now after we’ve spent some money, and it looks like we’ve spent them wisely, but it’s been 3 games into the season with 1 player joining next year, 1 healthy in a month, 1 for the future and 3 of them has played… Read more »

That said let’s see how we get on Saturday

F*cking quote of the century, congrats to Un!!
Don
I know people wants us to go toe to toe with all teams but we have tried that before at Anfield and Liverpool are stronger than ever now, best team in Europe and all that. What would it do to our confidence to get another 5-6 goals against us there? For all the freedom their fullbacks got they didn’t create many chances in open play.
After last seasons drubbing it’s understandable to be cautious, losing 3-1 to Liverpool away is not the end of the world no matter the tactics, we just move on.
“I’ll have a whole new batch of managers to talk about.”
lol Pedro at his best!! You would have only one manager to talk about, and you know who it is…
Valentin the transfer market is not an enemy, buying players from other clubs who are head and shoulders above what you have is not a weakness or admittance of failure, that is how football works. I have a feeling you have this view that 80% of a clubs roll call of players should be made up of players from their academy, that is not feasible. AMN has never shown anything in his career so far to prove he could be a marauding right winger who scores goals and puts in a good cross or cut back, Trent Alexander Arnold has… Read more »

Maybe he care too much, being stressed and makes mistake. He may just need session with… Read more »
Or he may just not be as good as we think.
I suspect that it is a mix of both not being positionally good enough to be a right back and a lapse of concentration because he is already visualising attacking instead of focussing on the moment.
Posters moaning about Emery’s style of football as bland yet are calling for allegri….I don’t think people have actually watched his juve teams ….imagine with all that quality and the football was the very definition of mechanical….allegri football can put you to sleep….I mean I watched juve alot last season and in 3 games his team didn’t even have a shot on target untill the 60th minute…..with r7 on the pitch!
I remember Pedro’s sources at the Emirates telling him that gazidis was the second coming of Jesus and he was doing ‘great’ things behind the scenes and Pedro was adamant despite all the sensible posters here telling him that gazidis was a fraudulent man,so forgive me if am into this ‘I have contacts thing.’
If am not*
Emery got dressed down for not having a clue and watching us get mauled. Allegri’s pragmatic is done so with tactics discipline, players knowing what the fuck they’re doing, and flexibility to the situation at hand.
Where were these tactics when he was being walloped 4-1 and 3-1 in European finals?

“Having seen both AMN and Pepe in real life play , I am not afraid to say that AMN has a more rounded game than Pepe”
Not remotely true, real life or not. The fact you happen to watch something in person does not mean your judgement is superior.
“I suspect that it is a mix of both not being positionally good enough to be a right back and a lapse of concentration because he is already visualising attacking instead of focussing on the moment.”
He isn’t very good in attacking phases no matter how many times you say he is, he mishits crosses 7 times out of 10, does not bring simple passes under control, misplaces the most basic of passes or cutbacks , he just isn’t a very good footballer…he does not need a sport psychologist, he just isn’t very good
“AMN was a right winger”
He was last fielded as a right winger by Ipswich town in 2015/2016, made 30 appearances and scored one goal in the league and another in the cup.
I know your location makes you believe you are better placed to pass judgement on our youth but we have all watched AMN for three seasons now, he is nothing special and certainly not more well rounded than Pepe.
Receding,Please stop rephrasing what other people wrote to fit your need to start an argument.
And the above is just nonsense and plainly insulting, if you write things that are controversial you should be picked up on it. You have been against the signing of Pepe since day one, after waiting for Auba to bump into him all day on Saturday your new angle is now that a player as lacking in basic footballing intelligence as Niles is a more rounded player than he is
Freddie
The squad is better now but the football most certainly is not and neither are the results. Let’s see. Emery is up against the clock and if he loses to spurs then he’s really on borrowed time. The team looks further away than ever from being cohesive in any department and as I predicted David Luiz has picked up exactly where Mustafi left off.
But he can ping a 60 yarder sometimes so it’s all ok
Un dos tres, you still have a bit of wenger’s sperm on your mouth.

Having Laca Auba Pépé(three players that were so good we didn’t believe would come here until they came)has to count for something. The Emery Militant group has to agree we can’t lose to Spuds.
