Good morning my darlings, a very short post from me today because I have NOTHING to write about.
The hot news that has the comments section in a fluster is the story that Jose Mourinho has said NO to Lyon. Why? He wants a job in England.
Some are speculating he’s looking to sneak the Spurs job, I find this one tough to grapple with. Daniel Levy knows he has a great coach (that is clearly under fire), one that’s not dealt with dark times in his Scum career so far, so I’d imagine he’ll see it through with Poch.
Interesting thing with Spurs is they haven’t been a well-run club prior to Levy. If anything, Poch and the generation of elite talent they cultivated has been the happiest of accidents. I am going to watch with a fascinated eye to see what happens next, because based on historical evidence, they could go back to type after this generation withers and dies. Poch has created the impossible there, he’s crafted talent, he’s spent very little, and he’s kept players so motivated, money hasn’t been an issue. That’s coming to an end, the dream was a potless one.
Anyway… bring back Harry.
The second Jose conspiracy theory is that he’s waiting on Unai Emery to fail. Mustafi ramped up the pressure. As I said yesterday, the German defensive expert was on the path to a Balon D’or before Emery took over at Arsenal. The Spaniard crushed his spirit, forced Arsenal internet to take up arms against him, now Unai is left with blood on his hands.
Will the board tolerate this? Who knows…
I do think everyone has a feeling in their bones that Jose is waiting for the guillotine to drop. His agent is probably telling Edu that Jose is a top 4 machine, Edu probably has a top 4 bonus planned. The agent might even be slipping him a presentation… not a powerpoint, like Unai did… no, a Google Slides, because he is a modern businessman willing to create in the cloud… the same place he crafted his Arsenal vision.
I do not think this is a good long term option for Arsenal, but contrary to some of the shrieks I hear, Jose would be a good stop-gap… and any man that cries that he misses football is going to be more than happy to take on our incredible squad of players.
Also worth noting the press hype…
‘Jose was right about United after all’
Those stories are no accident.
Right, that’s my inflammatory post for the day, see YOU in the comments where I will battle you with all my will. xxx
Pierre “what aspect of our play have we improved without Ozil?” Pressing. We press now, and we press well. This was not possible with Ozil, who is slow and lazy. Everyone works now, everyone runs, everyone presses, and everyone does so together, collectively. This was not possible with Ozil in the XI. Further, though, what did Ozil actually bring to the side the last few years? Very, very little. Very little in the way of assists, very little in the way of goals. There is very little even to replace when it comes to “replacing Ozil”. Aside from Xhaka and… Read more »
* slow, weak and lazy
Why can’t a number of posters on here het their heads round the fact that Emery has not spent a penny at Arsenal. We do not operate as we did for so many years under Wenger where the manager did everything. Sanllehi ran this summer with a limited input from Edu who’s role will obviously increase from now on.
The manager will suggest positions he needs to strengthen and have input on some of the targets we pursue but this fallacy that he controls all transfers and contract negotiations is plain daft.
Azed
“I guess Emery’s plan of attacking through the wings is way better than Ozil floating balls aimlessly into the box…”
Exactly. And it will work even better when Tierney and Bellerin are the overlapping fullbacks.
Bamford
You have to wonder what Ozil would have to do to draw criticism from Pierre.
Ozil kills family of 6 driving while pissed – It was the family’s fault they should have got out of his way.
It really wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.
‘press well. This was not possible with Ozil, who is slow and lazy. Everyone works now, everyone runs, everyone presses, and everyone does so together, collectively. This was not possible with Ozil in the XI.’
Yet inferior teams are taking shots on our goal for fun even as we ‘press well’.
Wonderful!
bris
We’re not close to pressing well at the moment but do you think the shot’s against would be any better in Ozil was in the team on a regular basis?
“I guess Emery’s plan of attacking through the wings is way better than Ozil floating balls aimlessly into the box…”
Yeah we are really attacking through the wings…..in fact we did it so well in our last game…..two shots on target, against the mighty Bournemouth.
What a miracle!
Yeah we are really attacking through the wings…..in fact we did it so well in our last game…..two shots on target, against the mighty Bournemouth.

Two shots on goal with one goal is awesome efficiency.
Marc, I have no time for Ozil. That said, our play against Bournemouth was criminally pathetic. Bournemouth were creating chances after chances until the ref blew the whistle. It was sad to watch. Right now, we have no creative organization. We have no creative individuals on the pitch. So our play is left over level. When a team does not have a creative organization, a creative individual can make a big difference. Ceballos is not yet it. Ozil had every right to play against Bournemouth. Right now, Ozil is by far the most creative player we have. A coach who… Read more »
‘Two shots on goal with one goal is awesome efficiency.’
Two shots on goal with a goal headed in from a corner kick by a defender is the hope of Crewe Alexandra fc against Manchester City football club.
Gentle “Right now, Ozil is by far the most creative player we have.” No, he’s not. He hasn’t been that player for years, and Ceballos is the better creative midfielder at the moment anyways. “A coach who is worth his weight in potatoes would find a way to get something out of Ozil the moment he realized the team needed him, not develop a sad agenda against the player.” Please. One, the team doesn’t need him. Two, Ozil has clearly been a lazy and spoiled twat in training, a part he has played many times before. Emery has given Ozil… Read more »

Bamford “Exactly. And it will work even better when Tierney and Bellerin are the overlapping fullbacks.” I do expect there to be improvement in the full back position with the return of those 2. Who do you think is the best player to supply that clever ball inside the full back for our overlapping full backs to slide the ball across the face of goal .

“Right now, Ozil is by far the most creative player we have. ”
Ozil had two assists in 24 EPL games last season playing with Aubameyang and Lacazette.
The data doesn’t support your assessment Gentlebris.
Bamford
Have a look at our 2nd goal , the perfect pass for an overlapping full back, very similar to the recent watford goal …
We have 2 very exciting full backs and the manager will not play the one player who can play them in .
And let me add , this type of pass is not as easy as Ozil makes it look .
Fo maximum effect it needs to be perfectly timed with the perfect weight , a second too early or too late and the moment is lost.

And no , Ozil is not registered with any credit for those 2 goals v leicester and Watford but he was the architect of both goals.
Jose, with his knowledge , and contacts is a clearly well informed man. Whoever he is aiming for, I would assume he knows things we do not about either us or Spurs or someone else I would assume Spurs are more likely to lose Poch quicker than we dispense of Emery as things stand , Solskjaer is hanging by a thread, and we have an idea where they will look to replace, but as the article suggests, Spurs and Jose doesn’t sound quite right , though could say the same about Arsenal Unless of course it is all a massive… Read more »
Azed,
It is 5 appearances with the last two as right winger.
Valentin
Ok.
I saw on Arseblog a few days ago that the hierarchy at Arsenal were concerned.
Tierney would love to receive a pass like this for Arsenals first goal.
Again he was the architect of the goal but would not register as any credit.

We live in strange, strange times.
(Some / quite a lot?) of ManU fans want Wenger as their manager.
(Some / quite a lot?) of Arsenal fans want Mourinho as their manager.
Next: the fan campaign for Allardici to replace Pep at Man City? After all, Pep is underperforming by his standards – maybe he’s lost his sauce.
One thing that never changes though is Pierre’s undying love for Ozil.
His love for Ozil goes far beyond normal fandom. He’s likely tracked him since the player was a young child.
Azed, I do believe as well that he will be recalled in January as all his latest appearances are as right winger. He can do a job there but he is a right back not a right winger. However he has been rather impressing in generating chances and assists in both position. The loan was strange as he had opportunities in the Championship but was send to a second tier German club. Mind you, Bellerin loan to Watford was also a failure. He was considered not good enough for Watford in the championship and then the following year, he is… Read more »

If he isn’t getting game time, he should be loaned to the championship.

How could Mourinho possibly make Spurs the third best team in the league permanently when there’s a 90% chance he wouldn’t even manage to finish a third season without getting sacked? And even if he somehow did make them a semi unstoppable third place machine when he was there, there’s no such thing as permanence in sport. Liverpool dominated the 80s and did very little in the 90s. Utd dominated the 90s and 2000s but have been wank ever since fergie left.

For me, Mourinho is too confrontational. He will create more problems within the team. His last salary is almost double of that of Emery’s. He is not worth it.
Azed. You are saying the same thing over and over again. Ozil doesn’t do enough defensively. And i Agree. But whatever combination of players we put on the field now , is our defense going to improve? No its not . We have tried playing 3 DM and we are still very bad defensively. Maybe its down to the manager or the players .

You heard it here 1st!
Well Ozil has thr most chances created for Arsenal under Emery. So the data does support the assessment.
Gentlebris
An assist is better than a chance created. Even Iwobi who is deemed not good enough had more assist than Ozil.
How does Ozil create so many chances with one of the best finishers in the world and yet have very little assist numbers?
Ozil hasn’t been working hard enough to earn a place in the team. That is quoted from the club itself. Regardless of what he could potentially offer, or mitigating factors concerning Ozil himself , there are players who deserve their spot in front of him. This is absolutely the right thing to do. I must say the attitude that the club presents these days is refreshing and a far cry from the Gazidis era of empty promises and ‘jam tomorrow’. There seems to be far more of a no nonsense mindset. We saw it with the Koscielny transfer also. It… Read more »
Basic statistics exist in football so absolute dummies can be involved in a conversation with no knowledge….yes azed, yes you blandford and obviously Marko.

“Ozil has gone off the boil” He simmered periodically at best then Jose didn’t wantt him any more. He was a last minute panic buy for Wenger who had to play him to keep face when, that is, Ozil wasn’t pulling a sickie or the famous psychosomatic back injuries for tough home and most away games.

Can now understand how and why Neymar and Emery didn’t see eye to eye…
Imagine Emery at Barca , leaving Messi out of the squad because he doesn’t run around enough in training..
Or is this a selective policy and only applies to players that Emery takes a dislike to.
Pierre how difficult is it to impress your coach in training considering the fact you have not actually been impressing anyone in football for quite sometime now?
Do you believe Ozil simply works into the squad regardless of his input in training?
If you were appointed as a Head in a corporate organization and one of the senior members of staff tells everyone he will outlast you and proceeds to put in little effort what will be your reaction to that?
lol Pierre in a very subtle manner, trying to compare Messi and Ozil…
“Can now understand how and why Neymar and Emery didn’t see eye to eye…”
Yet to read any reports of a spectacular falling out with Neymar
Neymar played 30 games under Unai Emery scoring 28 goals in 30 games until he broke his fifth metatarsal in February
If Ozil had such impact in matches i bet effort in training will not be an issue
Pierre You get what I’m on about. Whatever positives Ozil brought to the team no longer exist and, infact, haven’t for the past few seasons. Even under Arsene Wenger, he was becoming a massive liability. We all saw this and yet you seem to think that Emery has dealt with him unfairly and that, if he had accommodated Ozil, we would have done far better. I’m not so sure.

what is a flawed policy?
expecting output and effort from a footballer?
Pierre
No, it’s your reasoning that’s flawed. Xhaka shouldn’t play because he’s terrible in matches. That has nothing to do with demanding that players put their work in and have a good attitude in training. The latter is a necessary but not sufficient condition.
A big “no” to Maureen at Arsenal…
I understand, but I can’t help to think of the kind of treatment Xhaka, Ozil and Mustardi would have get from him. lol

Neymar is “fed up” with Paris Saint-Germain manager Unai Emery, according to the latest reports emerging from the French capital.

Sorry, but I am with Pierre on that one. It is a flawed policy. A good manager selects players on what they can bring in game, not just just how they behave in training.

Ozil doesn’t need to say anything. He never has anyway.

He’s using Emery as an excuse for his own failings.

you think messi goes to training and doesn’t put effort in it because he knows wether he tried or not he will be picked by the manager on match day just because he is best so no effort from him. you think that is how him and Ronaldo acheive greatness
Yesterday I posted a link to a William Gallas interview in which he explains that some players such as Drogba were inducing panic attack into Philip Senderos.
He also stated that Senderos was great during training. Of course he was great in training, he never had any panic attack before training. The reason why Swiss Tony is now playing in the MLS rather than in a big European club is because he was judged on his output during games rather than during training.
Valentine
Ah but with Ozil it’s different.
He hardly ever delivers on match days.
Crap in training, generally crap in the games.
Anyone would think Ozil is going into training and decides to sit on the bench and have a fag and a cup of tee and waves to his team mates as they run a 100 times around the running track..
Valentine
I would stop if I were you.
You’re making yourself look really stupid.
Kristoman,
Unfortunately for you, this is exactly one of the reason why Enrique had a fallout with Messi. He accused him of choosing his games and not putting enough effort in training.
Guess which one is still at Barcelona? I am willing to bet that the Barcelona fan are pretty glad they still have him rather than Sergeant Major Enrique.
“Valentine I would stop if I were you.You’re making yourself look really stupid.”
