Cold Monday night up north, are we ready?!

by .

Been working on this new diet called ‘gym and starve yourself’… you know what, very effective at dropping weight, but you actually can’t control where the weight comes off. That’s the next phase, then I’m bringing it to market. I’ll call it G&SY, remember the brand.

BIG GAME tonight. We have the chance to make up some of that lost ground on Liverpool after they dropped points to United yesterday. We also have the chance to move further ahead of the disaster down the road. They really did make Watford look good at times.

The big question on everyone’s lips tonight is: What is Emery going to do with Mesut Ozil?

It wouldn’t be a question if the manager hadn’t opened the door to the return of his precious creator, but he did, so maybe we’ll see the German in a tough game up north on a cold Monday night.

After two of the longest weeks I’ve had this year, I think we’ve all forgotten what’s going on at Arsenal.

A reminder:

  • We are 8 unbeaten.
  • We’ve scored 20 goals
  • We’re 5th in the league.

A win tonight and we power up to third in the league, a mere point behind FRAUDIOLA and ARTETno.

The hype about the paper numbers has been driven by the folk that seem to have collective amnesia about the similar pattern from last year, but look, if Emery can iron out the kinks, and we can add performances to points, we’ll all happily jump in and state that we are title challengers.

It’s a big game. Sheffield United don’t have a lot of wild individual talent to brag of, however, they do have quite a lot of pace on the wings. They have Luke ‘gone too soon’ Freeman who might come off the bench at some point. Overall, we should be taking the points.

It’ll be interesting to see what the manager does. Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney, the lastest missing pieces in the Emery masterplan, will likely start. Genuinely can’t wait to see the Scotsman play, he’s electric and a real piece of work. His delivery will have Bellerin staying late after training… terribly sorry Hector, St Martins will have move your classes to after hours.

The manager is pumped for the evening and pleased with what he’s seeing.

“I am speaking every day with Raul, Edu, with the players,” he told football.london. “And really we have our way going right and working. Our work is more important than our [words].

“And really now I am very happy the club. I am really happy with the players. The last two, three, four weeks, every player – and Mesut Ozil – are working very well.

“I finished very happy with our work and really this is the way we can be positive and we can think we are going to do something important this year. This is the way I want and I was speaking with Raul, this is the same idea when he is speaking with me.”

He was keen to impress that the kids will get better.

“We can be better in the table, we are third at the moment,” Emery insisted. “We can play better each match. It’s one process.

“Little by little we’re using the young players to achieve the performance, giving them confidence and experience in the matches. Sometimes we need one process. For example Bukayo Saka is improving, helping us and taking a good performance. I know he needs to break more steps ahead in his improvement.

The interesting thing about the kids is they’re the players keeping us going, I’m looking forward to the big names settling, I have very little concern with players like Matteo and Saka. Land me a performance from David Luiz or Nicolas Pepe.

We need an impactful performance this evening, 80% of our goals have come from one man away from home this season. I’m not sure that’s a problem, but it shows h0w dependent we are on his incredible finishing, and it also shows that others aren’t stepping up to the plate.

This evening is a big chance for the front three to shine, I hope he sticks with Saka and I hope Pepe lands a hattrick. Huge game, should be fun, it’s good to be back! x

Up to now, Willock is the most useless player

Samesong

Danny

R.S.P.C.Arsenal

Useroz

Jeanette Kliger

Goona

We are utter shite

WengerEagle

Lol, fuck here we go.

Mark

Can’t believe how poor our passing is at times, either inaccurate , too heavy or not enough pace. Very frustrating.

DUIFG

Since xack give that free kick we have been under pressure. I know it didn’t directly lead to a goal but it was a micro loss. These things make a difference. Emery you tool

TBone

Xhaka does nothing a run-of-the-mill Championship player couldn’t do.

InsideRight

Wish that chance had fallen to Pepe for SU… he would have put it wide.

Just fuck off now Emery. Your journeyman bullshit isn’t working.

Rambo Ramsey

Fuck off!

Knew I shouldn’t have stayed up for this shite.

azed

Fuck!!

Mr Serge

This is dire

salparadisenyc

Waited two weeks for this shower…

Just Another Customer

seriously fuck this cunt what am I doing with my life watching this dreadful shit early morning

2 weeks of withdrawal and they serve this kind of shit?

fuck right off

R.S.P.C.Arsenal

Three workers in the middle no class.

Nelson

Xhaka is standing beside the goal scorer. He was day dreaming again

TheLegendaryDB10

Well that one was coming. We are litterally inviting Sheff utd to play in our half…

Leedsgunner

Emery, does he do pressing and any defensive coaching?

DaleDaGooner

God! when will Emery leave Xhaka out of this team????? And Guendouzi got outjumped…..

TheLegendaryDB10

Nelson

2 weeks should mean that the players are up for it. We are turgid and lifeless… like UE.

Mr Serge

free with RSPCA no pattern of play no passion same mistakes when Wenger was here

Emery out

Useroz

FFS. Both CBs went missing with Guen trying to jump to no avail

CB space was void with Xhara the great on patrol literally That is did fuck all but to watch the tap in.

The midfield is fucked with this starting 11. Didn’t they prove it in previous games??

Guns of SF

bring on martinelli
laca

TBone

Emery is a hopeless clown cunt.

HighburyLegend

Lol pepe aka the new giroud.

Champagne charlie

Emery’s vision is bringing us down to the level of the opposition match after match. It’s why we rarely get hammered and rarely hammer anyone.

We’re muck. Used to toy with this sort with the cup team, players haven’t a clue what they’re supposed to be doing.

HighburyLegend

The new gervinho, giroud would have scored without any problem.

DaleDaGooner

Terrible players, Kolasinac basically does nothing but foul…..Xhaka is a fucking gash player, I hope he ends Emery’s job

Jeanette Kliger

To keep playing Xhaka, Emery has got to mentally ill

DaleDaGooner

Mike Dean the cunt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Danny

Saka tripped himself, shame.

Spanishdave

Are we surprised really?
Emery is pants, simple.
Saka booked for being shoved over

DaleDaGooner

I don’t get why he doesn’t look at that before issuing a card….what a cunt ref

Left Testicle

Ljundberg done more there than Bould ever did.

DaleDaGooner

Gives Ljunberg a card…..what a cunt

R.S.P.C.Arsenal

Mike dean is the John Bercow of the football world…
Always does it in for us.

TheLegendaryDB10

Freddie for Manager!!!!

Goona

We wouldnt win the 1st division….utter crap

Gazzap

The commentators didn’t spot their feet connecting. We’ll see if they look at that at half time.

DaleDaGooner

Not a dive!!! and the cunt Dean gives a card

Samesong

This game suits a lacazette.

Useroz

Probably not a pen but not a ducking dive either. The defender stuck out a left thigh….

Kane will never get a yellow

Fuck off Mike fucking Dean. Had to get some fucking air time on live tv

Mr Serge

Mike Dean hates us

Left Testicle

There was definitely contact.

R.S.P.C.Arsenal

Wh6 did he not book their player two mins earlier for the dive.

TBone

Xhaka and Kolasinac are bargain basement trash.

DUIFG

Bar the miss which was huge, pepe looked good

TR7

El Bufon should manage a club in Spain’s second division. We don’t look in command against any team in the PL.

Danny

Saka didn’t dive so shouldn’t have been booked.

roaaary

we bring this on ourselves. cant think of the logic of continuing to play xhaka and kolasinac when we have options.

slow backwards build up play…..emery really hasnt got a clue how to coach a team

DaleDaGooner

Freddie getting a card highlights why Emery is not fit for this job

Samesong

Guys ffs

We should be winning his game. Stop using miken dean as an excuse.

R.S.P.C.Arsenal

Emery has to go we have zero creativity zero tactics and zero goals

Spanishdave

Leno cannot play from the back, stop it Emery you dick

Josip Skoblar

Is Emery worse than the old Wenger?

Nelson

We are missing Ceballos

Guns of SF

PEA save us

DaleDaGooner

samesong, no one is blaming Dean….he’s still a cunt that hates us…but trust me, Emery is shit

Gazzap

It’s 1-0 to mike dean so far

DUIFG

How many times do we need to see this xacka guen mid. It’s never worked

Danny

Is Emery worse than the old Wenger?
———————
Worse manager we’ve ever had.

roaaary

why do we insist on playing out the back, only to hoof it forwards once we get past the initial press?????

Id understand if we created amazing build up play but so often we get to midfield, pass back and hooof

R.S.P.C.Arsenal

Hate seeing xhara playing for us.

DUIFG

Another goalless boring first half banked

Spanishdave

As if anyone can hear Emery’s instruction speaking Spanglish above Yorkshire accents.

DaleDaGooner

Guen was shit for that goal too, how can you not jump always getting beat in the air

Spanishdave

At least Mourinho would fire some fucks into our defence

Useroz

Any rubbish decision / decision makers deserve being critiqued

That has nothing to do with how we play, poor or not.

Guns of SF

sheffield seems like a proper brexit team

El Bufon should manage a club in Spain’s second division. We don’t look in command against any team in the PL.

Indeed. He manages like a manager of a mid-table team. Never pro-active and on the front foot. Always reactive. Not the kind of manager we should be having at a club of our stature. He was never made to manage big teams. PSG was just a walk in the park considering how shite Ligue 1 is.

Rambo Ramsey

Painful watching donkey Chambers in attacking positions

Samesong

Danny

I know Emery a joke.

Guns of SF

chambers having a hard time on the right….

WengerEagle

To be fair it’s down to the players at Emery’s disposal isn’t it?

How could he realistically be expected to best the mighty Lundstram, Norwood, Fleck and Mousset?

Samesong

Wow chaka shot

Danny

Finally a shot on target!

DaleDaGooner

If Emery can’t see how Xhaka let them have that goal…what does he really analyze in the tapes?

DaleDaGooner

Best thing he done in 2 months…Xhaka

DUIFG

Shit the bed subs time. Ah how comfortably predictable

Samesong

Emery out out out out.

Goona

Fantastic….15 min break from this dross

Left Testicle

Chambers keeps coming back rather than feed Pepe who looks more up for it tonight.

Champagne charlie

Weagle

😂😂 bang on. Poverty players after all.

Different side with Tierney and Bellerin, going to take us from Brighton to Barcelona those two.

roaaary

i remember the day when we used to pick our best 11 players in the starting line up. how simple life was

DaleDaGooner

This can’t continue…..terrible starts, lacklustre starts…nothing exciting about this managers tactics, heck, Wenger is more interesting than this shower

Rambo Ramsey

Attacks aren’t coming from the centre, nor from the wide areas. Absolute fvcking joke.
Bring back Mesut Ozil.

Danny

So will El-Dicko make changes at half time? Stay tuned to find out as we are losing to The Mighty Sheffield Utd……..

Danish Gooner

WTF is laca and Tierney doing On the bench .

Cesc Appeal

Pretty much as expected.

Aside from the miss one encouraging point has been Pepe who grew into that half, taking players on and actually demanding the ball at the end.

Saka hasn’t done anything, I’d pull him soon and get Martinelli/Lacazette on. Think about Dani Ceballos soon as well.

Disappointing once again though.

Guns of SF

Ive noticed pepe being an inside winger on the left more and more… anyone notice this too? He is not a sideline hugger

Spanishdave

Get Freddie in as manager can’t be any worse.

HighburyLegend

Rambo was not supposed to watch this game…

azed

Emery currently one foot out the door. He better hire a defensive coach before he gets the boot.

Useroz

The squad has quite some talent we play like this most of there time??

Who the fuck train three and do tactics ?

Unacceptable. however one would like to argue

Goonah

Can we make 6 changes at halftime?

Gazzap

I think we all know emery’s limitations. You only have to look at his Seville and PSG history to know what you’re getting. He won’t change. We won’t suddenly play free flowing high scoring, attractive football. He plays one way rather than to the strengths of his squad. Personally I think he’s not good enough.

Danish Gooner

I see Mourinho in the horizon.
